Heading to the city to cover unrest in Minneapolis following the death of Winston Smith. I should have some video uploaded within an hour or so. If you’d like to support my independent journalism please check the links below.

Anyways. See ya on the other side.
There’s currently just a very small crowd gathered outside the location where Winston Smith was killed, although the ones who are here have blocked off the intersection on all sides using vehicles and trash containers.

So far it’s peaceful.
A physical brawl just broke out with some people threatening to shoot others.
The crowd has begun being belligerent to the people who live in an apartment complex, screaming that they don’t care for justice cuz they stay inside.
Some dude just brought out an assortment of cinder blocks and set them by one of the blockades…
Police are surrounding the area at a distance.
Police just swarmed in from all directions. I avoided being kettled in.
Police slashed the front tires of the cars blockading the road so they couldn’t leave and they are now towing them.
The police already left after dispersing the crowd and a new one is already forming. Allegedly someone in one of the apartments egged the new crowd and so they’re yelling at the building again.
Not sure why the police left so soon.
New blockades are already going up.
The current group is still small but now they’re trying to block multiple intersections at once. Here’s the one I am at:
It was mildly entertaining watching this guy struggle to move a garbage can as the reforming crowd worked on blockading the intersection:
Police left and now the fires are being set.
The burning plastic smell in the air is awful
Police are returning. Lights and sirens in a distance
Two fires in the distance as police chase and tackle people
Intense scene
More fires. They’re setting trees on fire.
There’s so much smoke in the air
A guy got his head split open. When I asked around a black male said “I knocked him out”
I’m leaving now
If you liked my independent coverage, please support it:
Random photos from tonight:
This scooter photo makes me chuckle, it kinda looks like the police are guarding it.

Here’s a mindfuck for you.

It’s possible to believe that the person doing the false swatting should be punished to the full extent of the law while also believing that there’s a serious problem when police can be weaponized so easily and that institutional changes are needed.
When cops “doing their job” results in innocent ppl being raided with guns drawn & handcuffs utilized, all due to a prank phone call, then changes must be made so that it’s no longer “part of the job”. Swatting shows there’s a problem with how some aspects of policing are handled
This isnt an anti-police statement, let alone abolishment nonsense. It’s just pointing out that the system is far from perfect and changes to the system are needed. There are problems across the board that need to be addressed, & the prevalence of false swattings is one of em

Egg white omelet containing spicy chicken sausage, cheese, and salsa, with a little bit of crispy cheese on the outside. 🤤 ImageImageImageImage
I’ve been cooking a lot more lately. The other day was a lemon seared tuna steak sautéed with kimchi which I then tossed into a salad: ImageImageImage
Salads are kinda my thing right now. This steak one was dope too. I used leftover kimchi juice halfway through the cooking of the steak, which made for a thicker juice, and this I used instead of dressing.

The flavor was exceptional. ImageImageImage

The Unreal Engine 5 Matrix tie in that just dropped has some neat car deformation, even if the physics are wonky.
Sadly you can't run people over, you just phase right through em.
For those curious, this is just a minor tech demo. There's a heavily staged shooting sequence to kick things off (no free aiming during it) and then you're just left to walk/fly around a city. There's not much to do and interaction is limited. There's not even a jump button

This would’ve been a more interesting Sting for the Game Awards.
This show is kicking off with an oddly somber tone. It’s making me giggle.
Now a spiel about internet abuse and inclusivity, never mind some of the most abusive people within the industry are the journalists in attendance.

Genuinely curious how people trust the opinions of creators like this.
I talk a lot about this as it pertains to media journalists, especially as they can receive limited edition press kits not sold to the public, and these can resell for thousands of dollars on ebay, but man, let's be real, the Youtube 'influencer' sphere is just as bad.
If you want a fun time, go to site like Ebay & type in '[game] press kit.' This also works for films/tv too

Access journalists receive special edition gifts, but dont worry, their reviews are trustworthy. Im sure they keep getting those gifts if they give repeated bad reviews 😉

My book about an AI which forces some teenagers to compete in a video game or die has now mentioned Trump multiple times in multiple different chapters, & each time it occurs I nearly cringe to death.
Omg, it’s endless. I just came across another name drop after sending this tweet.

It’s so cringe. Authors, please don’t do this. Maybe one reference to establish a timeframe, two at most if you really need something off your chest, but six or more? No. Cease. It’s too much.
I’ve come to the conclusion I’m not the target audience for this book.
