IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Nicki Minaj teases new album and tourIn the summer of 2021, as the world was still reeling from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, I imagine that the team at Z-Man Games was rather desperate for a rebranding. The company’s hit game, titled Pandemic , had long been a welcoming entrypoint into the joy of modern board games. But the whole “millions of people dying and the budding culture war where we risked our own neighbor’s lives to prove a political point” thing was really gettin’ folks down on the term “pandemic.” Something had to be done. So, why not licensing? Variations on the theme, like Pandemic: Reign of Cthulhu and Pandemic: Iberia , had been attempted back in 2016. But along came one of the world’s most popular video game franchises, and Z-Man went all-in on a lavish game with a ponderous title — World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King - A Pandemic System Board Game . I reviewed it . It was fine, but it didn’t really feel like Pandemic to me. You can still buy it — but it’s a big missed opportunity, if you ask me. What the game should have been about is the legendary Corrupted Blood Incident . I’ll let my colleague Oli Welsh take it from here: The 2005 Corrupted Blood plague is perhaps the most notorious bug in WoW ’s long history, which birthed one of the most famous unscripted incidents in any online game. Corrupted Blood was a debuff applied to players during the climactic boss fight of the Zul’Gurub raid, and it was transmissible between characters in close proximity to each other. Due to the bug, the debuff escaped the confines of the raid and quickly spread across WoW ’s world of Azeroth, becoming an actual in-game pandemic. Non-player characters could carry it asymptomatically, while lower-level player characters were instantly killed by the powerful debuff. Some players tried to set up an organized healing response, while griefers contrived ways to spread the disease further. So much of this legendary part of gaming history would have made for an interesting take on the classic tabletop game, maybe even a legacy-style game like Pandemic Legacy Season 1 . But instead we got a bright blue box filled with somewhat squishy miniatures and a blonde elf lady on the front. But who knows, maybe some day in the future we’ll get the meta-meta-metatextual reinterpretation of the Corrupted Blood Plague that we so badly deserve. I’ve confidence that Z-Man knows how to get it done. Fantasy Gaming Opinion Tabletop Games World of Warcraft Pandemic: The Board Game World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich KingA potential expansion of the state’s bottle deposit law is being debated in the Michigan Legislature that could add additional items such as single-use water bottles. Photo by Jon King. Last week, members of the Michigan Senate Energy and Environment Committee voted to move a potential expansion of the state’s bottle deposit law back to the Senate floor following testimony from retailers, wholesalers, representatives of the beverage industry and environmental advocates. The proposal, introduced by state Sen. Sean McCann (D-Kalamazoo), would place the issue of expanding the bottle bill on the 2026 ballot, with voters ultimately deciding whether to approve provisions like universal redemption — allowing containers to be returned to any dealer who sells containers subject to the 10-cent deposit — as well as expanding the bill to cover all beverages containers one gallon or less. “It’s important to stress to you that nothing whatsoever would happen to the current bottle law unless voters approve the proposal in 2026,” McCann noted while testifying on the bills. The proposal is the latest of many efforts aiming to expand the bottle bill to cover more containers, with McCann reintroducing a previous proposal in 2023 alongside Rep. Christine Morse (D-Texas Twp.). In crafting the latest proposal, McCann likened the effort of finding general agreement among stakeholders to “the games of Whack a Mole combined with Jenga.” “Depending on how you move the pieces around and which pieces are included or not in the money puzzle will absolutely affect which stakeholders tell you they are supportive and which are not. I’ve worked at this for many months, seeking the best arrangement, and what is before you today is my current best effort. It’s draft eight, [substitute] two, but even today, I am still absolutely willing to consider adjusting it further if it can be made better for all,” McCann noted. He also warned against letting the perfect be the enemy of good, noting some stakeholders remained opposed to the concept of a bottle bill in general. “The current bottle law is not on trial today, and sometimes the greater interests of the people of Michigan must override more narrow interests. This is how the original bottle law came to be,” McCann said, referencing the original law, which was initiated by voters in 1976. The Michigan Retailers Association was the first to speak in opposition to the proposal, with Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Amy Drumm noting the group is strongly opposed to any effort to expand the current “costly, failing and inefficient deposit system.” “Retailers only exist if they have customers, and any negative impact to the customer experience is extremely concerning to the industry,” Drumm said. Shane Smith, the vice president of operations at Ric’s Food Center — which has locations in Mount Pleasant, Ithaca and Rockford — described the grocery industry as reluctant partners when the bottle bill was first instituted in 1976. “Perhaps the law made sense in 1976 when words like recycling were not in our vocabulary. Things have changed in the last 50 years, recycling centers are in every county with collection bins in neighborhoods and in people’s front yards. The thought of expanding this outdated law is absurd when many other options are currently in place,” Smith said. Additionally, Smith said one of the largest challenges grocery stores face is maintaining a clean, sanitary environment, arguing that a new variety of incoming returns would burden their facilities. “I’m not sure how we will handle the variety of incoming returns, but it’s safe to say that we will have to add on to our facility where possible, or perhaps remove part of our sales area for storage, creating a negative impact on our sales,” Smith said. Labor is another concern, Smith said, noting that Ric’s Food Center currently spends 200 hours a week processing empties across its location, warning that an expansion of the law would double or triple that time, potentially negatively impacting prices as they work to recover the costs from those additional labor hours. Also in opposition was the Michigan Environmental Council, who argued against a proposal which puts money from unclaimed deposits toward reimbursing industry stakeholders, with the first $1 million in unclaimed deposits currently funding enforcement of the bottle bill alongside with 75% of the following collections going toward environmental cleanups and pollution prevention efforts. Under the newest version, 40% of those unredeemed deposits would be put toward environmental cleanup and redevelopment, while 5% would go to manufacturers, 20% to distributors and 25% to dealers and redemption centers and 10% would go to a new fund supporting affordability and access to water. “We are not opposed to dealers and distributors receiving reimbursement. However, providing these reimbursements through unclaimed deposits creates a perverse incentive for the program to work less effectively, meaning the more unreturned cans there are leads to more unclaimed deposit money that these stakeholders get to pocket without guarantees that this money would be used to improve the bottle bill system,” said Trent Wolf, the council’s the strategic campaigns manager. While the council is supportive of an expanded bottle bill, Wolf said work grouping with all of the bill’s stakeholders is necessary to get the proposal right. The committee also heard opposing testimony from the Michigan Beverage Association, with President and CEO Derek Bajema arguing the ballot initiative would raise costs on groceries and recycling. Additionally, Michigan producers and distributors of soft drinks lose more than $10 million a year due to full pallets of beverages imported from non-deposit states, Bajema said. “This isn’t the Seinfeld cute thing of the empties coming in, this is pallets of full beverages. They don’t pay the deposits in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, they drive the truckloads back to Michigan and charge 10 cents on each container...but it’s pure profit because a deposit was never initiated,” Bajema said. “This legislation would vastly improve the opportunities for deposit fraud by making it even more profitable for racketeers already making $2.40 on each case of pop that they bring in from Toledo and resell in Michigan to now be able to purchase a 40 pack of water for $4 in Ohio, and bring it in to Michigan and sell it for $3 dollars, charge the consumer a fake $4 deposit on those 40 water bottles, so that when the Michigan Teamster employee shows up with a 40 pack that now costs $8 with a deposit, there’s no sale to be made,” Bajema said. However, the bills did receive support from the Michigan Beer and Wine Wholesalers Association, with President Spencer Nevins noting the association’s long history of supporting the bottle bill. “The state has abandoned its responsibility under the bottle bill. They haven’t funded infrastructure and we have long said that we support the bottle bill and we will support expansion as long as infrastructure is addressed. And these bills do that,” Nevins said. Nevins noted that consumer engagement with the bottle bill has dropped off significantly, with the Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy showing refund rates dropped from 94.7% in 2012 to 75.6% in 2022. Nevins attributed this drop off to disregarding the return infrastructure and failing to ensure compliance with the law. However, you can’t build this infrastructure without providing money to the industry, Nevins said. While the bill does not cover the cost of everything, the association supports the policy because it would mark the first proposal concerned with the infrastructure and the benefit of all stakeholders, Nevins said. The bills were reported back to the Senate floor on a party line vote of 9 to 5. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX
NoneInterest in Bluesky exploded after Donald Trump’s re-election to the White House, especially in Europe where concerns about Elon Musk’s tenure and shift politically rightwards drew a wave of disquiet. As an alternative to Twitter (or ‘X’), Bluesky is growing, although its peak interest currenlty only a fraction of Twitter’s current interest. As an expert explains, Bluesky may not be sufficiently differentiated from Twitter and this similarity is probably going to hinder the micro-blogger’s growth. Politically there are differences, with Bluesky being left-leaning and Twitter a right wing platform is attracting tremendous interest from across the globe, including in the UK and the US where Google searches for the service exploded in mid-November. In terms of ownership, Bluesky is classed as a U.S. public benefit corporation. Marketing expert Toni Marino has considered why users are shifting: “The spike in interest in Bluesky arrived after Donald Trump’s re-election to the White House at the start of November. Harris voters wanted a platform that would allow them to connect with other left-leaning users and escape what they see as a right-wing, Musk-led takeover of Twitter.” Marino continues, considering the two platforms from the U.S. context: “However, we need to put Bluesky’s rise in context. While the platform is growing, it is still small fry compared to Twitter. US searches for the service are around 10 percent of those for Twitter in most states, even during the last election month, meaning Bluesky still has a long way to go if it wants to compete. Twitter has an established user base and an audience who know and love the platform. It is difficult to imagine a usurper replacing it outright because it is so embedded in the culture.” Marino does not mention Europe or the UK, where Blusky has been growing more rapidly. Driven by strong growth from outside of the U.S., Bluesky is growing rapidly and is currently picking up around one million new sign-ups a day. Moving on to how Blusky might grow, Marino sees coming up with something distinctive as the key: “If Bluesky is to compete with Twitter, it will need to differentiate itself somehow. Donald Trump’s Truth Social did this by leaning more into right-wing politics. Bluesky could do the same–providing an outlet for left-wing views.” Bluesky was created in 2019 as a research project within Twitter led by then-CEO Jack Dorsey. It eventually severed ties with Twitter and became an independent company following Musk’s acquisition. This evolution is one reason why the two platforms have a similar design and function. Marino also thinks: “Bluesky could also do what Snapchat did to Instagram by adding new and innovative features. When Snapchat launched Stories, Instagram was forced to respond. You could see something similar playing out here.” In his closing view, Marino considers finance: “If Bluesky is to succeed, it will need to find a way to monetize its content, something Twitter finds a struggle to this day. Options include in-feed ads and perhaps banners, but these are low-revenue and may hamper growth.” Dr. Tim Sandle is Digital Journal's Editor-at-Large for science news.Tim specializes in science, technology, environmental, business, and health journalism.

Former ICE Director Jonathan Fahey breaks down how the new administration can work with Democrats to tackle the crisis, including ending birthright citizenship, and reacts to more mysterious drones appearing over New Jersey. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said on Tuesday that the incoming Republican Senate will make a "transformational" border security bill a "top priority" in 2025 – as immigration is set to remain a top political issue in 2025. "In January 2025, the Republican Senate will make its top priority a transformational border security bill that will be taken up and passed by the budget committee," Graham, who has been involved in a number of bipartisan efforts on immigration, said at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Graham made clear that the priorities for the GOP-controlled chamber will be related to the increased border security and deportation aims outlined already by the Trump transition team.

"Increasing the number of ICE agents to deal with people who should be deported. Finish the wall and put technology on the border so we'll have operation control of the border." "That's going to be our top priority," he said, saying it would "go first" through reconciliation. FIREBRAND GOP LAWMAKERS DEMANDS MAYORKAS PRESERVE BORDER CRISIS RECORDS FOR TRUMP ADMIN: ‘UNDO THE DAMAGE DONE' Former Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan will lead the mass deportation operation as "border czar." (Drew Angerer/Getty Images) Immigration and border security were two of the top issues among voters during the 2024 campaign, and President-elect Trump won the contest in part by promising a mass deportation campaign and ramped-up border security. Republicans in the House and Senate have expressed their support for such efforts, and many lawmakers made that clear in their election campaigns. While much of the deportation operation can be carried out via executive action, Congress can assist by providing additional resources and also changes to immigration law. Republicans passed a sweeping border security and asylum reform bill in the House – H.R. 2 – in 2023, but it has not been taken up in the Senate, which is currently controlled by Democrats. Democrats had pushed a separate bipartisan border security bill this year, which included increased funding for border agencies. However, Republicans largely objected to the bill due to the inclusions that they said would codify high levels of illegal immigration.

It was the third day of work for homeless individuals who are part of a 10-week jobs program helping the Public Works Department clean up the city. "My ship came in, in time for me to get on," said participant Thomas Taylor, 60, who recently moved to Atlantic City from Philadelphia, where he had been homeless for years. "I love it, they are hard workers, real hard workers," city Sanitation Supervisor Larry Holmes said as he oversaw their efforts and pitched in himself. Participants are being paid $75 a day to clean streets, the Boardwalk, City Hall and a Police Athletic League building, said city Health and Human Services Director Jarrod Barnes.

"If full-time positions are available, they can apply." The program, paid for by opioid settlement funds, is also focused on preparing the new workers for full-time employment and permanent housing, Barnes said. Like most urban areas across the United States, the city has seen an increase in homelessness in recent years, he said. Atlantic City is getting some help addressing homelessness — a tough problem that has persisted for decades in spite of the efforts of dozens of nonprofits and government agencies. Early this year, a string of fires suspected of being started by homeless people trying to keep warm damaged the resort's Boardwalk. One fire was started by a campfire that killed a homeless man, and resort leaders vowed to find ways to prevent more homeless encampments from popping up. The fires happened as the city was embarking on a $26 million repair and rebuilding program for the aged Boardwalk, which runs about five miles from Gardner’s Basin to the border with Ventnor. Barnes said that was part of the impetus for the new program, but it is also a response to seeing the need to help "in daily life." Participants work Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays work with case managers to get services they need — from medical care to rental assistance. Another 10 people will then be hired temporarily, Barnes said, but the city will keep assisting anyone who goes through the program with case management. "Once they are with us, they are always with us," Barnes said. There are now 43 people on the waiting list to participate, said city social worker Anthony Woodard. In the wake of a string of recent fires that damaged the iconic Boardwalk — one started by a campfire that killed a homeless man — resort leaders vowed Friday to find ways to prevent more homeless encampments from popping up. Taylor said he has been homeless for about 33 years. "Really after my 20s," he said of the hard economic times he experienced after working in construction for a time. "I could never make enough money." Now, he says his goal is to get a full-time job in public works so he can do what he loves — pick up litter and improve the city. Jason McCracken, 38, said he moved to Atlantic City about two years ago from Vineland and has been homeless about a year. When asked what caused his homelessness, McCracken answered quickly. "Substance abuse at one point," he said. "Poor legal choices and decisions." He is now in a recovery program and doing well, he said. "My goal through this opportunity is to stay employed and work side by side with Atlantic City," McCracken said. A two-year incubator program has the goal of turning a block of Pacific Avenue in the Chelsea neighborhood of Atlantic City into an indoor farming hub, said Elizabeth Terenik, executive director of the Chelsea Economic Development Corp. He has a varied work background that includes construction, tree work, cooking and plumbing and heating, McCracken said. There are currently 250 homeless people in the resort, officials said. "I think it's good. It's giving them something to do to make some money," said David Ingber, of Ocean City, who stopped to find out what was happening on his way to visit his father in the neighborhood. "They could get a job and get a place," Ingber said. "Look how nice and clean it looks now." The program will help the city, Ingber predicted. "We want the city to do good. People will buy more houses," Ingber said. Mayor Marty Small Sr. said the state is aware of the program and supportive. "It's all about giving people chances," Small said, "sometimes second, third and fourth chances as we try to end homelessness." There are four women and six men in the program, Barnes said. They are paid via checks and considered city vendors. "We are working to see if a local bank will set up accounts for them," Barnes said. Woodard said the program is also working with partners like the State Police's Operation Rise and the Hope Exists Foundation to help with housing and other needed services.
