During yesterday’s game, NFL star Azeez Al-Shaair paid tribute to 8-year-old Palestinian girl Wafaa Akila, who was killed alongside her father in an Israeli airstrike, by writing her name on his eye black strips in a show of solidarity with Gaza.
Al-Shaair has repeatedly honored Palestinian children killed in Gaza by writing their names on his eye black during games, continuing to raise awareness despite repeated NFL warnings and fines.
This new doctor in Gaza lived through 3 years of genocide to pursue her dream.
Dr. Jomana Hasan spoke to AJ+ about what it’s been like for her and Gaza’s new medical graduates learning under constant bombardment.
“Free Palestine. Free Haiti.”
Here’s all the things bands and artists like Public Enemy and Tom Morello were free to say at the Power to the People fest… Unlike at Ed Sheeran’s concert.
7 male students were accused of gang raping a woman. Part of Cornell University’s punishment was … an essay. At the same time, pro-Palestinian students, were being arrested, suspended or deported for speaking out against the genocide in Gaza.
Let’s remind everyone of the dangers of a digital-only future, since some continue to pretend not to know🚀
❌No game ownership
❌No preservation
❌No competition > high prices
❌Regional & dynamic pricing > high prices
❌No refund if a game is removed from PSN
❌Reliance on Sony’s bad customer support
❌Region locked code-in-box games
❌Total reliance on networks/internet
❌64% of the world has no PSN > no games
❌If account is lost > all your games are lost
❌If you move to another country, there is no way to change regions > need to repurchase all your games, per Sony’s terms
And therefore we need discs to remain an option. We need to speak out and vote with our voices and wallets.
No matter how much fanboys screech, no matter how many Sony sock-puppets try to demoralize us, and no matter what paid think-pieces and executive lies try to make it sound like no one wants discs and digital is the future.

Parents should actually parent and monitor what their kids are doing online and not leave it to governments to do that. This could destroy ownership of all video games going forward. This is just dumb... Keep fighting the good fight #StopKillingGames

‘I've been trying to get arrested for quite some time.’
Margaret Owen, a 94-year-old Jewish human rights barrister, was detained at a rally for Palestine in Liverpool after displaying support for Palestine Action, a group proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the UK.
You can't spam-post your way out of this. We're pulling up on that next earnings call soon, and you're gonna have to explain why so many people have cancelled their PS+ renewals.
Exterminate the rats infesting @Sony.

Israel’s tourism ministry is running an ad campaign with a map that completely erases the occupied Palestinian territories – and the millions of Palestinians who live there.
REPORT: Sony is listening to feedback from players regarding physical media🚀
Kotaku spoke with executive director of Nippon Ichi Software, Kenzo Saruhashi, regarding the future of the physical media on PlayStation.
He stated that they spoke with Sony on the matter, and they are listening to feedback from players.
This feels a bit more promising, as it comes after recent developments that Sony is reportedly surveying developers as well, along with resentment going on in the industry towards Sony, from various studios and publishers, according to John Linneman from Digital Foundry.
We need to keep the pressure
Make your voices heard
PHYSICAL MEDIA MUST SURVIVE

Can we all, as a community, agree that whichever game - no matter what game - is the first to introduce ads during gameplay, we will all boycott so it NEVER happens again?

Adidas is facing backlash and boycott calls after it featured a former Israeli soldier in their new campaign, promoting its single-shoe service for amputees.
Israeli soldiers committed crimes against Palestinians, leaving Gaza with the world’s largest number of child amputees.
Everything about PlayStation’s no-disc strategy, push for an all-digital future, promoting streaming and hiding behind Rockstar and GTA6 draws a clear picture of what type of future awaits🚀
Predictions/Dangers of Sony’s all digital future:
✅Ending physical media is a stepping stone towards a cloud streaming future
✅Hardware prices for PS6 are estimated to be around $1000
✅Dynamic prices and localized currency are likely gonna lead to even higher prices
✅Lack of physical games leads to lack of competition which means PS Store can increases prices with no other options
✅Sony’s obsession with pleasing investors at the expense of player satisfaction and putting greed above all else will end up tanking the quality of games
Now more than ever, we need to speak out. Because once these things become normalized, it will be extremely hard to overturn them.
