A photographer in southern Spain captured what is believed to be the first-ever white Iberian lynx, a leucistic big cat so rare it seems almost mythical. Already one of the world’s rarest cats, the Iberian lynx was pulled back from the brink of extinction after its population fell below 100 two decades ago.

Halo was bemoaned as fascist propaganda since CE.
Then it was "a butt rock shooter for dude-bros" with 2.
Feminists hated that Cortana was "naked".
It's also a giant Christian themed story where you play as a walking Bible verse that destroys false prophets.

the 1920–1940 had that moment when technological modernity and classical craftsmanship overlapped perfectly. Continuity with the past.
After 1945, that chain breaks. The machine no longer had to look noble, only to perform. Form stopped following tradition and began following efficiency.

As far as I'm aware, the first founder to have much exposure intellectually to Islam was Jefferson who procured a Koran because he couldn't believe a religion could be so ridiculous and immoral, so being a man of the Enlightenment, he decided to read it for himself. Then, he went to war with Libya.

• Aggressive ads everywhere in the OS
• Full screen promotions of sales
• The only relevant Xbox OS changes that customers receive these days exist to increase per-customer spending, e.g. Wishlist enhancements, Game cards you need to turn off to directly start your game (or else you'll see a glimpse of mtx), etc.
• All dev resources used to bring Xbox PC forward, Xbox consoles basically feel like being in maintenance mode
• Two console price raises in one year
• Price hikes on Xbox accessories
• Expensive ROG Xbox Ally hardware
• Failed attempt at $80 The Outer Worlds 2
• $80 on future Xbox titles probably still stands
• Brutal and in its scale massive layoffs
• Multiple (6+) game cancellations and partial studio shutdowns
• Insane Game Pass Ultimate 50%(!) price hike among other Game Pass changes

Xbox has been a business for 24 years. Recently, they don't even try to hide that anymore. It's completely obvious everything Xbox does today is aimed at generating maximum profit, getting the most money out of your most loyal costumers, raise per-costumer spending, and only go forward with projects that don't bring too much risk. Every company tries to create the best revenue results possible, but at Xbox, this process has become so aggressive that the overall Xbox gaming experience for costumers is getting worse and worse.
Throughout its history, Xbox has gone through many weird decision phases. The only thing that feels different: this time, all these decisions are made intentional.

BREAKING CENSORSHIP NEWS
Valve will no longer allow games to be updated with Mature Content even games already marked with the "Adult" tag will be restricted as well.
Devs confirm it wasnt a rule until Collective Shout contacted Payment Processors to censor Steam and Itch io.
If Game Creators wish to add more Mature Content to their game. They have to list it as DLC and go through a Review Process now.
The new rule seems to specifically apply to adding new mature content.
All this comes after 1000s of Creators just lose their source of income overnight thanks to the whims of VISA and Mastercard wanting to control everyone all in the name of "Brand Protection" or "Think of the Children"
