I really loved my time with Keeper - it's a wonderful game that you can finish in an afternoon. At no point do the mechanics become tiresome, and the puzzles feel logical and fit clearly within the world. Beautiful music, visuals and movement!

You asked, and the unknowable has answered the call: 🚨 KEEPER is coming to PS5... TODAY 🚨 All available platforms will receive two more Keeper updates today: PSYCHEDELIC MODE (a wild new way to experience the game), and a sweet price drop across all platforms!

The Labour Friends of Israel outright say in this paper that a ban on trade with settlements would inevitably become a de facto ban on all Israeli products, because Israel's economy is inseperable from the settlement enterprise. Instead of condemning Israel for that, they say a ban is anti-Jewish.

LFI believes Britain should continue to take considered and calibrated steps against violent extremist settlers and organisations responsible for driving the deplorable violence against Palestinians most Israelis abhor. At the same time, any further untargeted steps the UK government takes – for instance, sanctions going beyond violent extremist settlers and organisations – would likely have a number of negative effects: First, a boycott of all trade with settlements is practically and politically impossible. It would affect all Israeli businesses operating in the settlement blocs, as well as East Jerusalem and the Old City, where major Israeli businesses like Bank Hapoalim and Teva operate, and where the tourism sector is critical for Israeli and Palestinian workers. There is a risk that international financial actors overcomply with sanctions nominally targeting settlements, adversely affecting Israelis living within the state’s borders. A settlement boycott would thus become a de facto boycott of all of Israel, which would rightly be perceived within the UK Jewish community as a further example of the government singling out and targeting Israel for punitive action and harsh rhetoric.

For months, Palestinian farmers in the northern West Bank have watched their water lines cut and their wells marked for demolition in Israel’s slow strangulation of Palestinian agriculture, as farmers tell Mondoweiss "there is no tomorrow" for them. mondoweiss.net/2026/08/dest...

I've spent a lot of time during my sabbatical playing a ton of great indie games, but it looks like I'll be capping it all off by buying a AAA game on launch day (which I haven't done since... Rebirth?). Remedy have me so completely under their thumb and I love it.

Hopefully one day with cutting-edge forensics investigators will be able to find a way to link Hind Rajab's death with bullets being shot into the car she was inside. It will take greater minds that the IDF, but I'm sure there's a connection somewhere. Or perhaps it's just a big coincidence!

Israel confirms soldiers fired at car in which Hind Rajab was killed and opens criminal investigation

The five-year old Gaza girl initially survived the attack and pleaded for help but her body was recovered later with those of six of her relatives.

SCOOP: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it. What did we find? It ended up at an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. Yes. This is literally the logo outside the Amazon warehouse door. Read now:

I have had my SUV (sustainable urban vehicle) for two full years! 🎉🚲🍾I biked 5400 miles across 2700 trips. This works out to just over 2 miles per trip. These things are so much FUN to ride, plus they are tremendously efficient compared to cars and saved us thousands of 💵Here's what I learned: 1/15

Don't mean to distract from the crop of videogame CEOs who suck absolute shit, but responding to their braying with "ah well <GAME> was overrated anyway" is such a childish move. Insulting the talented devs to did their best on a game just because their CEO is a tool makes you look like a dick 👎

I used to wonder if there are people who never unsubscribe from a single mailing list or promotional campaign and whose inboxes take 30 minutes to clear every morning and I just learned that it's my mum.

I mean I'm not the smartest guy on Earth and I had no difficulty at all understanding what he's talking about here. What if "It's not that simple" or "Actually it's really complicated" are political versions of telling a four year old the McDonald's is closed because you don't want to stop.

No matter what Palestinians (whether we're talking about Hamas or otherwise) do will ever be enough to stop the bloodlust of the Israeli state and its desire to occupy, settle and exterminate. It was never about the hostages or Hamas. Convenient misdirection every time. www.bbc.com/news/article...

At least 13 killed in Gaza after Hamas agree disarmament deal

Israel says it was targeting military operatives in the strikes on Gaza City, Khan Younis and Deir el-Balah.
