Just ordered a boulevardier at this wedding in Madison, WI. Watched as the bartender did literally everything wrong. It’s the best boulevardier I’ve ever had.

What a fitting 21 gun salute for Disco Elysium: people arguing about ethics, art, and intellectual property amidst an onslaught of good reviews. Does a video game have a soul? Can a spiritual successor exist if that soul isn’t there? Can you stick it to the man while still buying a cool toy?

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

I am wearing a "some people are trans, get over it" t-shirt, and a man in a cafe just gave me two slices of cheesecake when I only ordered one. I can only assume that, as well as being the morally correct choice, supporting trans people also gets you free cake.
