Wizardry has never been released on #Atari8bit computers. There have been a few projects in the past, one of which was halted due to an accidental data loss. There is now one being developed in FastBasic. https://youtu.be/v79FzODKWsE #atari

“Christian Castro, of…[ICE]…was taken into custody 11 days after Minneapolis prosecutors charged him w/assault & falsely reporting a crime in…Jan. 14 nonfatal shooting…”

FBI investigations, DOJ prosecutions, pardons. Trump controls them all - openly.

Analysis: "Proposals to move U.S. troops from the Gulf to Israel would empower Israeli aggression & keep the U.S. entangled in pointless war."

On top of a merger of US & Israeli military R&D, the admin wants to establish massive US military bases inside Israel.

According to the Nova Scotia Energy Board, the price of regular self-serve gasoline is 183.1 cents per litre, a jump of 6.4 cents from the week previous.

A direct effect of Trump's illegal war against Iran, stalling whle his name is redacted 1000's of times in the Epstein Files.

Diesel is set to take a larger chunk out of people’s wallets, as the price went up by 9.1 cents from 194.9 to 204.0 cents. Last week, both gas and diesel increased dramatically amid the turmoil in the Middle East.

This time last year, Nova Scotians were paying 145.9 for gas and 160.4 for diesel.
