everybody on here would still be miserable under the Harris administration but it would be because our moots are fighting over a genAI political cartoon being too Woke and not because ICE is murdering people in the streets and the president is regularly and openly contemplating an autogolpe

Return of the Obra Dinn is one I don't see go on sale very often, but my god what an incredible game! I knew it was going to be special going in, but I didn't realize how elated I'd be at getting the correct solution and that jaunty theme plays, or how invested I'd be in uncovering the story.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is one of the best damn puzzle games I've played, the pitch I'd give is, imagine a Survival Horror game, but everything is puzzles. It's a wonderfully stylish experience, I absolutely can't recommend it highly enough.

Scoop: At a secret meeting this summer, an aide to Stephen Miller laid out Trump administration's plan to make it easier for states to round up and institutionalize mentally ill homeless people — by pushing a drastic policy change that would weaken the rights of millions of disabled Americans.

How Trump’s homelessness crackdown became a sweeping retreat from disability rights
After issuing a memo making it easier to institutionalize homeless people, the Justice Department began abandoning cases protecting disabled people’s right to live in the community.

I've said this before but the ideal Fantastic Four trailer is just a close up of the actor in the Doom mask saying "Fool, Doom does as he pleases" and sounding like he means it. If you can sell that I know the movie's going to own, and if you can't there's no point

A couple of additional points. 1. Trump is intrigued by the Insurrection Act, and loyalists are urging him to invoke it. He might try to. Are we ready? 2. Hegseth is a man of overweening ambition. He wants to be president. He'll try, by means fair or foul. www.thebulwark.com/p/not-to-ala...

If someone is releasing dozens of rabid cougars into the wild, you should obviously hold them accountable, but saying “Cougars don’t kill people, people kill people” isn’t really smart, either. You have, separately, a liability problem and a cougar problem.

You see, Trump is joking about how hundreds of migrants fall from the giant new border wall each year, but "only" dozens of them actually die. Freaking hilarious, right?
These numbers come from Scripps Mercy Hospital and UC San Diego Medical Center. Together, the two Hillcrest hospitals provide trauma services for a 30-mile stretch of the border from the Pacific Ocean to Tecate.

In 2023, these two facilities collectively recorded 629 falls from the 30-foot steel structure severe enough to result in a hospital stay. So far in 2024, the total number of severe falls is up to 993, though that number is incomplete. UC San Diego data covers January through September while the total provided by Scripps runs through August.

Each facility, then, has averaged two border fall admissions per day, about double the caseload observed in 2021, when the number of falls spiked significantly.

I think there's something to this, yes. a kind of cope many of us, especially those from more vulnerable demographics, performed was attributing 2024 to the innate selfishness and indeed evil of Americans, particularly white Americans. and that may simply be overindexing on ideology.

Farm workers really, really, really need you to vote. Farm slavery is a very real multi-million business in this country. And Trump struck down major anti-slavery rules for farms last year. "Both parties are the same" Ok... Not for farm workers, they're not!

even stupider and nastier than you're thinking. www.thebulwark.com/p/daily-wire...
The film’s first minutes will likely get the most attention. As Pawn Shop opens, two ICE agents in Minneapolis arrest the Latino man, later revealed to be an MS-13 boss. Dimwitted liberal activists film and scuffle with the agents as they try to take their suspect away.

Then the film’s Renée Good stand-in enters, slamming her Subaru into the ICE van. Described with the subtlety of a brick as “MELANIE (40), a fat blue-hair,” the woman, blasting NPR, revs up again and fatally hits ICE agent “Juan” with her car. Then his ICE partner, “Mike,” shoots her in a justifiable killing.

Melanie reacts to the drawn gun with panic...

She MASHES on the gas as she throws the car into reverse, accidentally SLAMMING Juan out of the way. He goes flying into the gutter, bleeding...

And as the car reverses, Mike FIRES TWICE through the

windshield...

The first shot takes the [sic] Melanie in the neck, below her covid

mask. The second in the head, above her covid mask.

Blood SPLATTERS on her PASSENGER’s (40s, female, overweight)

forehead and matching covid mask.

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...
