Note to self:
Check out Flashpoint, people mentioned it as the "internet archive but for flash games", and it looks interesting but I have no idea if it is legal here or not (yet).Looks interesting though.

Unmasked | Minneapolis flashpoint: ICE shootings fuel protests, partisan clash, widen U.S. divides
Tensions in #Minneapolis intensify after the fatal #ICE shooting of #ReneeGood. Dueling #protests have erupted, 1,500 soldiers are on alert, and the city has become a #flashpoint for America's deepest fractures: immigration, race, partisan divide, and a federal-local standoff. Yet the same #US dysfunctional cycle repeats, with no end in sight. #Unmasked #CivilUnrest

I got the board game Flashpoint Legacy. I wish I could play it with my old friends in CA. We used to play the original a lot. Except we just called it “Die in a Fire” because that’s what we always seemed to do.
Good times.

Meine Ausbeute von der #Spiel25 war überschaubar. Einen Großteil davon haben wir gestern gespielt, teilweise mehrfach. Und mit #FlashPoint einen Klassiker.
Bis jetzt war noch kein Fehlkauf dabei, für alle wurden weitere Partien gefordert. Ich freue mich auch auf mehr. 👍

🎲 Fazit zu Tag 1 der #Spiel25:
Die Stimmung war etwas wechselhaft, besserte sich dann aber am späten Nachmittag, als doch noch Gesellschaft zustande kam 🙂 Und dann haben wir zu fünft das Mafia-Spiel #FünfFamilien gespielt. Thematisch nicht meins, aber spielerisch interessant, würde ich auch wieder mitspielen.
Vorher hab ich in erster Linie strukturiert geschaut und die Eindrücke aufgenommen. Und auch etwas Geld ausgegeben 😉
Neben einer Erweiterung für das kooperative Feuerwehr-Spiel #FlashPoint (10€) und dem unterhaltsamen #DungeonFighter (20€) habe ich mehrere schöne und witzige Postkarten von Illustratorys gekauft 😃

Why this Portland library is a flashpoint in the debate over downtown safety, and what can be done – oregonlive.com
The Central Library in downtown Portland has been the center of ongoing debate in the community regarding safety and security concerns. Allison Barr / The OregonianWhy this Portland library is a flashpoint in the debate over downtown safety, and what can be done

On a recent Friday afternoon, children and parents attended a playtime event in the vibrant first-floor youth section of Portland’s Central Library. Meanwhile, a pair of medical responders carried a stretcher up to the third floor to assist an adult in crisis.
Elsewhere, a patron lamented to a librarian about their lack of culinary talent while picking out a new cookbook. A man sitting on a bench outside the bathroom changed his clothes in the open. Security guards stood stationed on every floor. More patrolled outside, along with an employee, who picked up litter.
It was a typical day at Multnomah County’s flagship branch, which has increasingly been called on to serve dual roles as both a central information hub and a stopgap refuge for people experiencing homelessness in a city where such spaces are scarce.
It has also recently become a flashpoint in debates over downtown safety following two violent incidents outside its doors. Local leaders are now mulling significant changes to security protocols at the library that the county Board of Commissioners will take up later this month. That discussion has raised deeper questions about how the library serves its community and how changes could reshape its relationship with the public now and in the years ahead.
Librarians have already had to adapt to increased demands, becoming more than just stewards of information but also social workers and rule enforcers, Director of Libraries Annie Lewis said.
“We’ve had to evolve,” Lewis told The Oregonian/OregonLive. “Both in the sense of the tools that people access to get the information they need and the people we serve.”
The children’s section in the Central Library in downtown Portland. Allison Barr / The OregonianThe downtown library is the county’s most visited, and also one of its most challenged, accounting for a disproportionate share of rules violations tracked by the county, data shows.The branch has struggled with drug overdoses and fentanyl use in and outside the building. Librarians there and elsewhere have reported feeling unsafe at work in the past.
The situation intensified in July after a deadly shooting outside the branch put it under increased scrutiny. County and city officials bickered and blamed one another for the fatal confrontation between two people who had left the library just moments before, while powerful business interests framed the shooting as a county failure.

Local leaders are now mulling significant changes to security protocols at the library that the county Board of Commissioners will take up later this month. That discussion has raised deeper questions about how the library serves its community and how changes could reshape its relationship with the public now and in the years ahead.
Librarians have already had to adapt to increased demands, becoming more than just stewards of information but also social workers and rule enforcers, Director of Libraries Annie Lewis said.
“We’ve had to evolve,” Lewis told The Oregonian/OregonLive. “Both in the sense of the tools that people access to get the information they need and the people we serve.”

On a recent Friday afternoon, children and parents attended a playtime event in the vibrant first-floor youth section of Portland’s Central Library. Meanwhile, a pair of medical responders carried a stretcher up to the third floor to assist an adult in crisis.
Elsewhere, a patron lamented to a librarian about their lack of culinary talent while picking out a new cookbook. A man sitting on a bench outside the bathroom changed his clothes in the open. Security guards stood stationed on every floor. More patrolled outside, along with an employee, who picked up litter.
It was a typical day at Multnomah County’s flagship branch, which has increasingly been called on to serve dual roles as both a central information hub and a stopgap refuge for people experiencing homelessness in a city where such spaces are scarce.
It has also recently become a flashpoint in debates over downtown safety following two violent incidents outside its doors. Local leaders are now mulling significant changes to security protocols at the library that the county Board of Commissioners will take up later this month. That discussion has raised deeper questions about how the library serves its community and how changes could reshape its relationship with the public now and in the years ahead.
