    'Non-standard and punitive': Aggressive drug charges in rural county raise civil liberties concerns • Minnesota Reformer
    https://minnesotareformer.com/2025/01/21/non-standard-and-punitive-aggressive-drug-charges-in-rural-county-raise-civil-liberties-concerns/
    Over the past five years, hundreds of people in Polk County, Minnesota, have been charged with possessing drugs in “drug-free zones” despite not setting foot on those properties. They include two young men who admitted to police they previously used drugs at one of their parents’ houses, which is across the street from a school. A homeless man suspected of stealing two candy bars from a convenience store got a drug-free zone charge because police found him walking across a bridge near a park. A woman in Crookston, Polk County, was charged because her vehicle was in the parking lot of an apartment complex that happened to be within a block of a park. Minnesota, like virtually every other state, imposes enhanced penalties for drug crimes committed in the vicinity of a school, park or public housing — drug-free zones, in legal parlance. And in Minnesota, those zones encompass not just the property itself, but also the area up to one block around it.

    Goodbye to Joe Biden, and Whoever Was President the Last Four Years
    https://www.racket.news/p/goodbye-to-joe-biden-and-whoever?utm_source=post-banner&utm_medium=web&utm_campaign=posts-open-in-app&triedRedirect=true
    There are many reasons to resist sympathy for Joe Biden, but it’s clear he never had a presidency. We can deduce that Klain, Zients, O’Malley Dillon, Dunn, Ricchetti, Reed and others seen by his side managed the physical process of his puppeteering, but as of today, next to nothing is known about offscreen characters who perhaps had the real final power in his term.

    American College Football Couldn’t Exist Without Structural Coercion
    https://lithub.com/american-college-football-couldnt-exist-without-structural-coercion/
    Monday, January 20 is sure to be a day of pomp and circumstance that brings Americans of all political leanings together in celebration of the nation’s most cherished of institutions. We are talking, of course, about the college football national championship game in Atlanta between Ohio State and Notre Dame. There is a secret sauce that makes the spectacle that will unfold in Mercedes-Benz Stadium—and indeed the entire system of college football—possible. It isn’t the traditions, the pageantry, the religious devotion of fans, or the aesthetics of the game. It isn’t the rich coaches, bloated athletic departments, lucrative tv contracts, or NIL. It isn’t even the drunken tailgating. No, the thing upon which everything else in college football depends–business and pleasure–is something entirely different. It is a phenomenon we call, borrowing from sociologist Jill Fisher, structural coercion.

    Genshin Impact developer to pay $20M fine to US Federal Trade Commission over loot box violations
    https://www.polygon.com/news/511171/genshin-impact-ftc-settlement-gacha
    Genshin Impact publisher Cognosphere (which is also called Hoyoverse) is settling a United States Federal Trade Commission lawsuit over selling loot boxes to players under the age of 16. It’ll pay a $20 million fine for allegedly violating U.S. children’s privacy laws and “deciev[ing] children and other users about the real costs of in-game translations and odds of obtaining rare prizes.” The company will also stop selling loot boxes to people under the age of 16 without parental consent. The complaint covers not only the act of selling loot boxes to people under the age of 16, but also alleges that Hoyoverse has mishandled children’s data and personal information.
