New Hampshire has Funspot, the world's largest arcade, that is currently competing with Galloping Ghost Arcade, the world's largest arcade, 45 minutes outside Chicago for the title of...well, you can probably guess https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/03/which-of-these-two-arcades-is-the-world-largest-and-does-it-matter/?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&utm_campaign=fark&ICID=ref_fark #fandom #arcade #fun #Illinois #NewHampshire #amusing

In case people wanted a 2nd chance to object to a compulsory user account age recording + reporting law (the only people who objected in #California that I have found being only interested in 'gratis'

Another 2nd chance to tell legislators that the mechanisms that we have inherited from #Unix, and used in loads of #FreeSoftware operating systems from #NetBSD to #Tribblix, do not have date of birth/age fields for user accounts, is #Illinois, where HB5511 is the very same text as #California's, too. https://my.ilga.gov/Legislation/BillStatus?DocTypeID=HB&DocNum=5511&GAID=18&LegID=167486 It really does seem at this point that this is model legislation. Sponsors in Illionois are Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz, Margaret Croke, Janet Yang, Rohr, Kimberly Du Buclet, Natalie A. Manley, Angelica Guerrero-Cuellar, Rick Ryan, Michelle Mussman, Martha Deuter and Tracy Katz Muhl. The bill is in the judiciary–civil committee as of yesterday. It was introduced last month, 1 day after it was introduced in Colorado. I wonder in what other states it has just turned up. A lobby organization handing pre-drafted bills to multiple sets of legislators is not unknown. @nileane@nileane.fr @RunxiYu@social.treehouse.systems #CaliforniaLaw #USLaw #IllinoisLaw #FreeSoftware #AgeVerification

Hilarious incompetence by a Republican candidate for #Congress in my local #elections ... #CharlieKim , one of four GOP candidates running for #Illinois District 11, had to remove a FAKE #AI video endorsement from "Donald Trump" off his campaign website this week. Kim blamed his staff for posting it. The video showed "Trump" standing in front of a portrait of Kim, saying that Kim would be "incredible" for Illinois. But a local newspaper was able to easily and quickly get verification from the White House that the video was not real. White House staff told the local #KaneCounty paper that all video endorsements are posted to Donald's TrumpSocial account. After the Kane County paper told Kim the video was fake, it was removed from his campaign site. So either Kim is dishonest for posting LIES, or he is an idiot for believing Donald Trump ever even heard of him AND rude for not calling to thank the POTUS for his "endorsement." It's good to know that someone as careless and (at best) easily fooled or (more likely) dishonest as this dimwit wants to represent my city of #AuroraIllinois and the nearby communities. Illinois' #PrimaryElections are March 11, 2026. Many early voting polling places already open. FYI: "Charlie the Chump's" Democratic competition is Rep. #BillFoster , and this is his website: https://www.billfoster.com/ And this is a link to the original source article, which is behind a paywall: https://www.shawlocal.com/news/2026/02/26/gop-candidate-deletes-video-of-fake-trump-endorsement/?fbclid=IwY2xjawQNcxFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAwzNTA2ODU1MzE3MjgAAR5cShfAS8CuKtWY_UpX9mUSwskWqygHnO_QJEboEca_TpNu4h48a5Na7hCzmw_aem_5v1FmsGMo-wbvaIAMKTZPg&utm_campaign=mrf-facebook-kanecountychronicle&mrfcid=20260226699f207c3714424a5dafc261 #AISlop #AIVideo #DonaldTrump #USPol #USPolitics #FakeVideos #Campaigns #Endorsements #Elections #Congress #GOPElectionTactics #Misinformation #Disinformation #IllinoisPolitics #Journalism #LocalNewspapers #LocalJournalism

Great meeting about SB2004 with State Senator Laura Ellman of the 21st State Senate District (which covers much of Naperville, Lisle, Butterfield, Glen Ellyn, and Lombard)! Lots of positive energy around local RCV in our State Senate! We are working hard to add co-sponsors to SB2004 so that local IL municipalities can implement RCV referendums if they choose to do so! #RankedChoiceVoting #RCV #Democracy #Illinois #IllinoisPolitics

Rev. Michael Woolf, senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston, was shot in the leg with a pepper ball by state police while protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility, Illinois. He writes for Religion News Service about why he continues to show up at Broadview, the atmosphere at protests there, and religious leaders' obligation to resist tyranny. "It is important for my neighbors who were abducted to know that we will not stop fighting for their release," he writes. "By my estimation, our country is somewhere in 1930s Germany. Fascism is growing in power, but we still have opportunities to resist." https://flip.it/cWTTxH #Religion #Christianity #Immigration #USPolitics #TrumpAdministration #ICE #Illinois #Evanston
