“She tapped a police officer’s bike, apparently, so now they’re saying she assaulted a police officer.”
Calls to defund the police were a common refrain at many of the protests, which seem unparalleled in modern memory in their scale and sweep.

Amanda Nunes (20-4) earned a decision victory over Felicia Spencer (8-2) to successfully defend her featherweight title Saturday night at UFC 250 from the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Nunes opened the first with a handful of snapping right-handed shots before Spencer pushed the champ backwards and attempted to maintain the clinch. Nunes instead tossed Spencer to the ground and controlled everything as Spencer attempted to move into a position of control. Nunes dropped heavy elbows and opened a gash on Spencer’s forehead before the end of the round.
The second and third was much of the same, with Nunes going back to her overhand right over and again while mixing it up with heavy calf kicks. About midway through the second, Spencer looked for the takedown yet again, but Nunes stuffed it. In the third, Nunes caught a leg kick and just tossed Spencer, disinterested in participating on the ground.
Cartoon level power!

In the fourth and fifth, Spencer was barely able to move on her lead leg, as Nunes continued to pepper it with leg kicks. Nunes continued to layer jabs, blistering overhand rights and the occasional head kick. Nunes even mixed in a takedown just to show Spencer she could.
Nunes last loss in the Octagon against Cat Zingano nearly six years ago in September 2014. Her win over Spencer was her first featherweight title defense after beating Cyborg in 2018. In recent years, Nunes has cleaned out the featherweight and bantamweight divisions, with wins over Miesha Tate, Ronda Rousey, Valentina Shevchenko, Cris Cyborg, Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie.
Spencer’s heart was on full display Saturday night when she suffered just the second loss of her career. Her only other loss came at the hands of Cyborg last year.

Itch.io, an indie game store, has put together an impressive collection of games as a fundraiser for racial justice and equality. The death of George Floyd and subsequent protests against police brutality have resulted in fundraisers spread online for a variety of causes. Protesters getting arrested have led to bail funds for various cities across the country, while others have donated to various causes that help build equality in various fields and provide neighborhood outreach.
The bundle was announced by Itch.io earlier in the week and quickly gained steam, both because of the cause and the sheer size of the collection of games. The company estimated it was more than $3,000 worth of games available to download, as hundreds of game creators allowed their works to be included in the package.
We reached out to our community and an unprecedented number of creators donated over 740 projects to be part of what we believe is the largest bundle ever. Over $3,400 of paid works are available Pay-what-you-want with a minimum donation amount of $5.
The bundle has more than 700 games in it, ranging anywhere from desktop novelties like an Untitled Goose Game-like annoyance to full-scale indie games. Proceeds will be donated to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and Community Bail Fund in a 50/50 split. And the company seems thrilled by the explosion of support they’ve seen.
Wow, in just over half a day we’ve gotten past $500k! I’ve raised the goal to 1 million dollars
I’m a little tired right now, but we’ll be working on getting new games & projects that have been submitted added for everyone later today

The bundle has since passed the $1 million mark and Itch.io has re-adjusted its goal to a much bigger number to donate to some important causes. Not only has the bundle raised a lot of money, it’s driven a lot of attention to Itch.io.
Currently seeing the highest sustained traffic we’ve ever seen.

Games like Oxenfree and Night In The Woods are some solid deals here, and Itch.io says they plan to add “hundreds” more games to the deal, so it’s a fundraiser that apparently will get even more valuable in the coming days.
