Very much not a fan of these headlines I am seeing around, that trigger reflexive "we need to do something about government waste" that ignores this is the result of DOGE cuts (Musk did the same thing he did at Twitter of paying people to retire.) These are the policies of "cost cutting."

It blows my mind how people can genuinely think there is some mass, coordinated conspiracy that people who are nominally on their side are secretly benefitting from Trump's behavior and are intentionally facilitating it rather than Do Something™. Applies to both liberal and left posters.

The fact that this business with less than 10 employees that operates out of a PO Box and nobody has actually shown an example of it in use really ups the chances this is just regular "government venture of the moment" fraud. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADE_651

That his character ends up the South African Minister of Justice is a "not the same joke it was making at the time, but it SURE does rhyme" element.

What you need is some kind of way to compare different ranges of numerical outcomes on an equal footing to decide between them, but ideally without using math (hard), charts (gay), economics (fake), or finance (evil).

Funniest thing: there is a manga/soon to be anime by a woman about two girls who are edgy and different and cool because... they listen to Stone Temple Pilots? (It at least resulted in a video of David Grohl telling the author she has good taste.) youtu.be/TL-IGyJGf-w

Tales of Legendia is a game that makes me rage in how forgettable it was mechanically and half of the plot is happening off screen with characters explaining it to the player but God has the first dungeon theme lived in my brain. youtu.be/PetEZ_ahg-Q

Was going to make a pithy comment about Florida's efforts to suppress voting when I saw this is the first cycle to have a comprehensive procedure for felons to restore voting rights. If this applies to you, be aware. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Not sure if anything happened yesterday but there was drama here like a year ago that Bouie was unwilling to resign from the NYT over their anti-trans coverage (arguing rightly that the people asking for it aren't offering to feed his family and would make one less voice on their side in the paper.)

Haven't played it but watched as much of this playthrough before they abandoned it: Pros: Very good writing, art, dialogue, humor. Cons: You don't do very much. It's intentional as a joke, but MC's actions are a shaggy dog story to the plot unless he makes things worse. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Parasite Eve would be my then, and want to say Xenogears would be my vote today but I just attempted it again in the last few months and cannot will myself past the first few hours (have played all the Xenoblade games without issue, even 2.) No idea why, so sticking to Parasite Eve.

In fact, if you are strategizing in public about what you specifically intend to do, I highly suggest that you not.
