About 40 or so uncommitted delegates and their supporters slept on the sidewalk outside the United Center in Chicago on Wednesday night in hopes that the DNC will permit a pro-Palestinian speaker to take the main stage before the convention concludes Thursday night."We didn’t come here to do a sit-in," claimed Abbas Alawieh, a delegate from Michigan and a leader of the Uncommitted National Movement, which supports a ceasefire in Gaza. "We’re just sitting here waiting for a call."The group noted that the parents of American hostage Hersh Goldberg were allowed to address the DNC main crowd on Wednesday night and hoped that a Palestinian speaker would be afforded the same opportunity."We heard Hersh's story," Alawieh continued. "We were moved by ... the humanity in that story. And we are Democrats who have a party platform that says our party values every ... life and every Palestinian life equally. And so we think we should also be featuring a Palestinian-American speaker from this stage."'I am sad to report that 32,908 Democratic Kentuckians’ voices were not upheld at last night’s roll call.'Layla Elabed, another leader of the Uncommitted National Movement and the sister of far-left Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), went further, claiming that a pro-Palestinian speaker was the "bare minimum" that her group expected from Democrats."This has been an embarrassment for those of us who had faith in the Democratic Party that we still had voices here," Elabed said."Our values, our votes and our rightful place in the Democratic Party cannot be taken for granted," she stated on Monday night.Uncommitted Rhode Island delegate June Rose likewise called a pro-Palestinian speaker "the least [the DNC] could do.""We need meaningful policy change," Rose continued. "We as Democrats cannot oppose Donald Trump’s fascism at home while supporting Benjamin Netanyahu’s genocide abroad."Thus far, the sit-in has drawn some high-profile elected Democrats, including Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rep. Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, to stop by. UAW members of like mind have also offered their support."If we want the war in Gaza to end, we can’t put our heads in the sand or ignore the voices of the Palestinian Americans in the Democratic party," the union said.Convention officials have allowed pro-Palestinian speakers to address smaller DNC meetings and events but not the main stage. As a result, members of the group Muslim Women for Harris-Walz have officially disbanded and withdrawn their support for the Democratic ticket, as Blaze News previously reported.The sit-in began just one day after 44 delegates voted "present" during the DNC roll call on Tuesday, the Daily Caller reported. Those 44 delegates represent 13 states — Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Texas, and Washington — and likely included most of the 36 delegates who are also members of the Uncommitted movement.The in-person roll-call vote was largely symbolic, however, since the DNC already hosted a virtual roll call earlier this month, and Harris received more than double the 1,966 delegate votes needed to secure the nomination.Like Blaze News?

Former Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles, 47, addressed the jury this week for the first time in the trial over his alleged 2022 murder of Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German. Telles complained Wednesday about his imprisonment in the lead-up to the trial and stated, "I want to say, unequivocally, I am innocent, I didn't kill Mr. German."On Thursday, the disgraced Democrat suggested he'd been framed for killing the very reporter whose investigative writing was tanking his political career, the Review-Journal reported.German wrote about inappropriate relations, hostilities, and 'turmoil' inside Telles' county office, citing 'allegations of emotional stress, bullying, and favoritism leading to secret videotaping of the boss and a co-worker outside the office.' "Somebody framed me for this, and I believe it's Compass Realty," he said. According to Telles, homes belonging to the recently deceased in Clark County were being flipped for profit, and the families of the deceased were being cut out of the proceeds. The Democrat suggested he was "fighting" Compass Realty and Management over the sales. The company told the Review-Journal in a statement, "Mr. Telles is a desperate man who has been charged with violently murdering a beloved local journalist. It appears he will do and say anything to escape answering for this charge."It may be an uphill battle for Telles in court, as his defense likely will need to provide the jury with convincing explanations for why: As reported by the Associated Press, Telles' DNA apparently was found beneath the victim's fingernails; Police found hundreds of photos of the victim's home — along with German's identity records — on Telles' computer and cellphone, some of which were collected only weeks ahead of the slaying; In their search of Telles' house, police found bloody scissors, a cut-up straw hat resembling one the suspect wore, and a pair of cut-up tennis shoes which tested positive for blood; An SUV matching the description of one registered to Telles' wife was seen driving in German's neighborhood around the time of slaying; His phone sent no signals on the day of the killing and why, as KTNV-TV noted, the previous month there was no location data. What's the background? German, 69, was stabbed to death outside his home on Sept. 2., 2022. His body, which had seven stab wounds, was discovered the following day. Police subsequently released video and images of the suspect carrying a bag and wearing a reflective orange shirt and a broad-brimmed hat as well as images of the suspect's alleged vehicle, a maroon GMC Yukon Denali.Former LVMPD Sheriff Joe Lombardo indicated someone had been seen driving the vehicle "suspiciously" around the neighborhood and confirmed the suspect had used it to leave the area. The vehicle depicted was a maroon GMC Yukon Denali. Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren later noted that the vehicle was registered to Telles' wife. On Sept. 7, police executed a search warrant at the Telles' home and towed two vehicles, one of which was the Denali. After police completed their search, Telles returned home dressed in what was appeared to be a white hazmat suit. When police attempted to speak to him, Telles refused to open the door, prompting the dispatch of a LVPD SWAT team. The tactical team ultimately made the arrest and carted Telles away on a stretcher following an apparent suicide attempt. Las Vegas Review-Journal executive editor Glenn Cook said "we are relieved Telles is in custody and outraged that a colleague appears to have been killed for reporting on an elected official." Following his arrest, Telles was stripped of his administrator position by court order. In that position, Telles handled the funds of people who died without a will, some of which he is alleged to have mishandled or misappropriated. Telles — a gun control advocate and an avid supporter of far-left U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) — is said to have lost his primary election in June 2022 to fellow Democrat Rita Reid partly because of German's investigative reporting. Reid previously served as the top supervisor under Telles. German wrote about inappropriate relations, hostilities, and "turmoil" inside Telles' county office, citing "allegations of emotional stress, bullying, and favoritism leading to secret videotaping of the boss and a co-worker outside the office." Telles — who was arrested for domestic violence and resisting arrest on March 1, 2020 — blasted German on social media, writing, "You'd think he'd have better things to do." According to CNN, Telles also responded to German's articles on his campaign site as well as in a letter. Like Blaze News?

Realism definitely has its place in videogames, but sometimes all I want to do is embrace the silliness that’s possible in the medium. I’m very much down for realistic city builders and in-depth building experiences, but not always. Occasionally I want to throw things around like I’m in a toybox and that’s where games like Overthrown step in. This builder lets you construct stuff simply by tossing things about, and it’s just as silly - and joyful - as that sounds.

While League of Legends has earned itself a bit of a reputation over the years for being a frustrating, rage-inducing, and often hostile game to play online, let’s not forget that there are plenty of brilliant, wholesome people in the LoL community too. The MOBA’s honor system is one way to show your appreciation in-game, but after admitting that it’s a bit lackluster, Riot is giving it an overhaul, and that includes bringing back the ability to honor your opponents.
