Welsh singer-songwriter Ren Gill (Ren) is widely known for openly discussing his battles with severe depression, self-loathing, and health issues (like Lyme disease and psychosis) a therapist's breakdown of the internal battle and self-loathing explored in his music - youtu.be/fM2jP76u0T8 Hi Ren 🫶🏽🤟🏻

That is incredibly powerful. Chronic and invisible illnesses like MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) can leave people fighting in the dark for years, often dismissed by a medical system that doesn't always know what to look for.

Seeing someone use their platform to turn their own immense struggle into a lifeline for others is beautiful. The ripple effect here is huge: because one person had the courage to speak publicly about their symptoms, a geneticist finally got answers, got a confirmed diagnosis, and is now planning to dedicate their PhD research to invisible illnesses.

It completely validates why sharing these stories matters—it gives a profound purpose to the pain and literally changes the trajectory of lives.

Loptr Lab built Veiled Dominion: Duet a free screen-reader-first chess variant, for a game jam two new pieces (Rebirth/Death) procedural non-AI audio full keyboard input Curious whether a character like Rebirth could live as a registered actor in your universal compendium itch.io/t/6615047/ve...

NAME: Rebirth
ALIASES: The Daughter, Death's Daughter, the Spark

ORIGIN Formed by Death from a nest of cinnamon, frankincense, and ancient fire, after a broken law in Heaven. Not born of two parents — she is her father's answer to a rupture in the order of things, made to one day inherit the cycle he maintains.

APPEARANCE Translucent resin body with a visible internal spark — light given a shape, not clothing over one. Long dark hair with gold highlights. One red eye often shown open while the other stays closed; both open only when she faces the divine directly.

PERSONALITY Not cruel, not villainous — just too much. An overwhelming presence in a universe built on small, careful cycles. Earnest, exacting, quietly grieving the cost of her own strength. She loves what's near her, which is exactly what makes her dangerous to it.

ABILITIES - Radius of Ruin: an involuntary aura around her. Anything lingering too close, ally or enemy, gets stripped to its most basic capability for a time. She can't switch it off by will alone.

- Soul Reservoir: as those near her fall, she gains the ability to move through others as if they weren't there — momentum built from loss. - Immune to her own aura; she's the source, not a subject of it.

KEY RELATIONSHIP Death, her mentor — the only stable ground near her. Cannot be harmed or displaced; anything close enough to him is shielded from her aura entirely. Teacher and student, not guardian and weapon.

SYSTEMS Veiled Dominion (4-player chess variant) and Duet (its 2-player, screen-reader-accessible variant), Loptr Lab.

QUOTE "They think the strongest piece on the board should take whatever it wants. No one built a lesson for what happens when it doesn’t.”

@mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social #minneapolis Just over an hour ago I witnessed a police officer pull his weapon on a car with minor children. I have filed a complaint against an officer regarding the incident. @startribune.com let's see what happens

Here is an alt text description for the image:

**Alt Text:**
A smartphone screenshot of a video playback screen showing an outdoor interaction between a civilian and a police officer. In an asphalt driveway or alleyway next to a beige multi-story building, a red sedan sits with its front left door wide open. A person wearing a white t-shirt and dark shorts stands near the open door, talking to a police officer in a dark blue uniform. A police SUV is parked directly behind them. In the background, a modern multi-story apartment building and other parked vehicles are visible under a blue sky with light clouds. The image includes mobile video player interface elements, such as a play button, a volume scrubber, a timeline overlay at the top, and a row of photo thumbnails at the bottom.

This claim is entirely false. It relies on a fabricated political paradox that has no basis in reality. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social has disabled requote / comments and only has a generic link to X listed Facts are in ‘alt img’ @safety.bsky.app

Here is the factual breakdown:

### 1. "Using a dead person to hold a Senate seat"

**This is impossible.** Under the U.S. Constitution and federal law, a deceased person cannot serve in Congress. If a sitting Senator passes away, their seat is immediately declared vacant. Depending on state law, the state's governor will either appoint a temporary living replacement or schedule a special election to fill the vacancy.

* **The Historical Context:** There have been rare occasions where a candidate died so close to election day that their name could not be legally removed from the paper ballot. The most famous example occurred in 2000, when Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan (a Democrat) died in a plane crash three weeks before the election. He posthumously won the race, the seat was declared vacant, and the governor appointed his living widow, Jean Carnahan, to serve. A similar situation happened in Alaska in 1972 with Nick Begich (also a Democrat). It has never resulted in a deceased person actually holding or serving in a seat.

### 2. The Link (jacobnews.online)

The link provided does not lead to a legitimate or credible news organization. It is an empty domain or a low-quality site using a sensationalized headline to generate "clickbait" traffic. Legitimate news agencies and congressional records show that all 100 current members of the U.S. Senate are living individuals.

### 3. Claims regarding "Dead People Voting"

While it is true that some political figures frequently allege that votes are cast under the names of deceased individuals, independent audits and comprehensive academic studies across multiple election cycles have consistently shown that this is exceedingly rare. When it does occur, it is typically the result of minor clerical data errors (such as a living person sharing the exact same name as a recently deceased relative) rather than systemic fraud

Gamers force change by hitting publishers where it hurts: legally and financially With the **European Accessibility Act (EAA)** now actively enforced, non-compliant storefronts and digital services face heavy fines and market blocks. Gamers leverage this alongside targeted #socialmedia campaigns

By locking down their games with rigid mechanics and minimal options, Rockstar leaves a massive portion of the gaming community on the sidelines.

According to estimates from accessibility advocacy groups like **AbleGamers** and industry data (such as the *US Census* and *ESA* metrics), roughly **20% to 30% of the active gaming population** lives with a physical, sensory, or cognitive disability.

To put that into perspective for a global blockbuster scale:

* **In the US Alone:** There are an estimated **33 to 46 million gamers** with accessibility needs.
* **On a Global Scale:** With a player base that stretches into the hundreds of millions for franchises like *Grand Theft Auto*, they are severely alienating or completely locking out **millions of potential customers** who want to experience their worlds but face literal, insurmountable barriers in the user interface, control schemes, or audio design.

A 2023 Samsung UK and OnePoll study specifically highlighted the severity of this issue: **81% of disabled gamers** reported struggling to play their favorite titles due to poor optimization, and **39% were forced to abandon a game entirely** because it lacked the foundational accessibility features required to progress.

I. B. Loud IVXX@ibloud· Jul 6

Rockstar historically prioritizes gritty, uncompromised mechanical realism, which often inherently conflicts with modern accessibility #a11y tools like full steering/aiming automations Additionally, their intense studio secrecy minimizes external testing with the disabled #community

Because proper accessibility ($a11y$) is an ecosystem-wide design philosophy rather than a single software bug, calculating a exact price tag is highly complex. The cost depends entirely on **when** a studio implements the features:

### 1. In Retrospect (Post-Launch Patch): $Millions / Severe Technical Debt

If a studio has to retroactively patch advanced features into a massive open-world game after launch, the cost spikes dramatically:

* **UI/UX Re-engineering:** Re-coding user interfaces to support native menu narration and screen readers requires rebuilding menu architecture from scratch.
* **Audio Overhauls:** Implementing robust, 3D directional audio descriptive captions (mapping spatial sound cues to text for deaf/hard-of-hearing players) requires deep engine modifications.
* **The Cost:** For an AAA game of massive scale, fixing this post-launch can easily cost **millions of dollars** in developer hours, localized QA testing, and delayed feature pipelines.

### 2. From Day One (Inclusive Design): Relatively Low Marginal Cost

When accessibility is treated as a foundational part of development—pioneered by studios like EA, Naughty Dog, and Xbox via initiatives like the *Accessible Games Initiative*—the financial burden drops significantly:

* **Integration:** Building text-to-speech, completely remappable controls, and high-contrast modes during the initial prototyping phase costs standard developer hours that are already budgeted.
* **The Real Investment:** The primary "cost" here isn't direct capital, but rather **cultural shift and development time**—namely, hiring dedicated $a11y$ consultants, conducting external user testing with disabled gamers, and occasionally compromising on rigid, hyper-realistic animations or mechanics.

French left-wing leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon declares 'Players have rights too!' over the death of physical discs "Videogames are not mere merchandise—they are cultural assets." @jlmelenchon.bsky.social www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus... @pcgamer.com

This is a screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by the French politician **Jean-Luc Mélenchon** (`@JLMelenchon`), dated **July 2, 2026**. It matches the exact political statement mentioned in the video transcript you provided earlier.

Here is a direct translation of what his post says:

> "With GTA 6 without a disc in 2026 and Sony's announcement of the end of physical disc sales for games in 2028, the question of how we view these products arises.
> Tomorrow, you will pay without ever owning anything. No loan, no resale, no guarantee of keeping what we paid for.
> Video games are not mere merchandise, they are cultural assets and the law in force must apply to them.
> We will open this project in 2027. Players have rights too!"

### Why This is Trending

Mélenchon is using his platform to target a major pain point for consumers right now: **digital ownership rights**.

By bringing up the heavy hitters—Rockstar's *GTA 6* and Sony's timeline to phase out physical media—he’s positioning this as a legislative issue for his upcoming 2027 political campaign, arguing that digital-only storefronts strip players of basic consumer rights like trading, reselling, or permanently owning their games.

Loptr Lab : there is an unreleased G-Eazy snippet that appears to be a fresh, original composition. The lyrics and moody synth loop don't match any legacy tracks, pointing to a brand-new collaboration rather than a recycled sample "Said I got a problem so I got to fix it..." are an original verse
