So far Zangief's options feel uncomfortably limited to me in SF6. The game has things it wants him to be able to do & he's good at them, but there aren't many of them at any one time and I don't feel any of them let me get very creative. Learning to play him has mostly been about doing less & less

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

The AI Build-Out Is Becoming the Biggest Economic Bet in U.S. History
Data-center spending is greater than that for canals, railroads and grid combined—creating jobs and stock-market wealth, while boosting inflation and crowding out housing.

The worst part of learning Zangief in SF6 isn't anything to do with the gameplay, it's that studying top players via cfn scraper channels so often means having to hear his SF6 theme. This game has some real good music but it also has some real bad bombs too

In the last decade, the IDF prosecuted one (1) soldier for unlawfully killing a Palestinian in the occupied territories. Elor Azaria served 9 months in prison. Today Israel's president, Yitzhak Herzog, pardoned him and expunged his criminal record. A clear message of 100% impunity.

Ofc this is the real way AI could kill lots of humans: being used evilly and/or stupidly to do odious and/or idiotic things by bad and/or dumbass humans. Yknow, the same way lots of things can kill lots of humans and should be regulated so we're not held hostage by assholes using them quite as much

It's been a little while since I switched mains from Honda to Zangief in SF6 now, and imo the biggest difference in utility between them isn't about specific character matchups, it's that Zangief is stronger vs high level players & Honda is stronger vs players at every level below that

Fyi in Trump v US, SCOTUS didn't actually protect Trump from future punishment for illegal stuff like this, not really. He's presumptively immune from prosecution for it, sure, but future presidents could use THEIR immunity to engage in whatever official acts they want against Trump over it as well

There's a million reasons to think language is cool, but one of my favorites is that it's always changing. Like for example maybe in English you don't need subject-verb agreement for plural stuff after "there's a" anymore. Nobody gets to gatekeep or prevent changes in language. That's pretty cool
