remembering Joe Biden’s 2022 60 Minutes interview

How would you say your mental focus is?
President Joe Biden (15:58):
Oh, it's focused. Look, I have trouble even mentioning, even saying to myself in my own head the number of years. I no more think of myself as being as old as I am than fly. I mean, it's just not... I haven't observed anything in terms of... There's not things I don't do now that I did before, whether it's physical or mental or anything else.
Speaker 1(16:26):
You have had a string of legislative successes recently-
President Joe Biden (16:32):
How's an old guy do that?

the free press: Hold Your Applause for the New Gaza Documentary
There may yet be hard truths in 'NAZA,, including evidence of Israel's systemic failures. But the reporting around it treats flimsy claims as proof of criminality.

For the past few years, in an effort to fight my analysis paralysis, I've maintained a short list of "play before you die" games: video games that are frequently recommended to me and/or major cultural influences that I still haven't played. What would be on your list?

Grid with Symphony of the Night, Chrono Trigger, Disco Elysium, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy 4, FF6, FF7, GTA 5, Half Life 2, Metroid Zero Mission, Mother 3, Red Dead Redemption.

One of the greatest Death sections in a Wikipedia article I've ever read

Death. Day believed that the traditional practice of breaking-in horses was harsh and unnecessary, and that if an animal was treated well, the need for severity could be avoided. He attempted to put his theory to the test with a colt on 28 September 1789 at Barehill, Berkshire, but was thrown from the horse, and died almost instantly. He was buried at St Mary's Church, Wargrave, Berkshire.

I'm at anime background artist Kazuki Higashiji's panel at Otakon. He begins with a statement in English. He doesn't see backgrounds as pretty scenery, but creating the world itself. He doesn't just make objects but thinks about the history of the place. Makes the world more believable.
