Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

Fundamentally, I think democrats' entire method of condescending governance and campaigning is terrible, but sometimes I read the average thoughts of a republican voter and just say "you know what? These idiots deserve to be talked down to like the rubes they are."

Saw a thing going on about how actors used to look like normal people (1970s examples) but now look like supermodels. 1. Hollywood has done that from the start, the rise of more character type actors into leading man roles in the 1970s was a fluke 2. It only ever applied to men.

I really think it’s important to underline that there was apparently no security breach. The gunman was confronted and stopped where he should have been according to the design—at the magnetometer perimeter. What this piece argues for is an *expansion* of the security perimeter in time and space.

Hoewel het draagvlak voor azc’s relatief groot is, besteden media disproportioneel veel aandacht aan een kleine groep extreemrechtse relschoppers die van stad naar stad trekt om azc-protesten te kapen. ‘Doordat negatieve verhalen worden uitvergroot, lijkt het alsof iedereen tegen het azc is.’

One of the dispiriting things about being a political writer in this era is that things are simultaneously horrifying and, in an intellectual sense, kind of boring. There’s nothing particularly challenging to grapple with; just a lot of hackwork where you point out the same lies for the 87th time.

I would invite you to consider, based on your reading of the gospels, which would make Jesus more upset: destroying a statue of him, or killing a bunch of children. Now think about which one has made evangelicals in America more upset.

Text: Yoshida also used his talk to provide advice for indie developers - "When you follow the trend, you are already too late," he suggested - and shared stories about his crippling Marvel Snap addiction.

"The first year, three years ago, I played this game with three accounts because I couldn't get enough... I used to say during that time that 'I live in between playing Marvel Snap.' So that destroyed me."

Yoshida says he eventually dropped one Marvel Snap account per year until weaning himself off the game completely at the end of December 2025. The admission of his effort was met with applause.
