Mayor blames racist texts on police department culture, calls for audit

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:30:14 GMT

Following a Contra Costa County judge’s release of the names of 17 Antioch police officers who allegedly made racist or homophobic texts, Antioch Mayor Lamar Thorpe has blamed the department’s culture and is calling for an independent audit.“There are no words to express my profound disappointment given that one of the named officers serves as president of the Antioch Police Union,” the mayor said in a Facebook video statement on Saturday. “While Antioch has worked hard to become one of the Bay Area’s most racially diverse cities, this will undoubtedly leave an embarrassing stain on our community.”Thorpe, a longtime police reform advocate, added that the “culture is the problem and has long been a huge legal and financial liability for the city, which is on full display today.”He said the department’s culture requires further exploration and questioned how “all of this alleged misconduct could go on without anyone on the command staff noticing.”The mayor then called for an independe...

Review: How ‘Have a Nice Death’ stands out from the rogue-lite crowd

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:30:14 GMT

It’s hard to stand out as a rogue-lite. The genre has grown in popularity in recent years because of the success of instant classics such as “Spelunky” and “Hades.” These games built a reputation on their difficulty and they balanced that out with their addictive and deep gameplay.Similar to the original rogue-lites, these games force players to run through procedurally generated dungeons, but the catch is that players only have one life to reach the end. If they die, they have to start over. It’s a brutal game design, but rogue-lites mitigate the challenge by letting players carry over at least one element from their run.WELCOME TO DEATH INC.“Have a Nice Death” fits that bill. The new title from Magic Design Studios is a side-scrolling adventure, which puts players in the shoes of the Grim Reaper. He’s been so successful at taking peoples’ souls and helping them leave their mortal coil that he essentially built a global co...
