I'll probably wait on FM 26 until I hear if the new engine is working out.

Experience with CK3, Vic 3, and CS2 is telling me to wait a couple of years on EU5 until it's fleshed out.

Trump: "Somebody said, 'would we think about taking the World Cup away from Boston if they don't straighten it out?' The answer is yes. We have the right to do that with FIFA. So if we think that LA is gonna be bad, or that applies a little bit to the Olympics too."

I heard the "Oppo Taco" ad so many times it nearly drove me to madness.

Peter Labuza @labuzamovies.com · 3d

absolutely insane thing. During the post-season, they've finally been playing the 30+ different in house ads they meant to play all season. The *ONLY* baseball slang ad I heard ALL SEASON LONG was "Austin Hays, Oppo Taco." This ad played EVERY SINGLE HALF INNING ALL SEASON. Low estimate for me...

Game was a microcosm of the 2nd half of the season. Skubal dominates, all the bats do nothing (except for Kerry), Tigers pen hangs on by a thread and escapes miscues, Tigers bats still do nothing even with runners in scoring position, and eventually the game is blown

There's a part of me that sees that "go back to Poland" stuff and thinks they're deliberately being assholes.

Like, you DO know what happened to Poland's Jewish population, right? Right?

But don't call them fascists or secret police. It hurts their feelings when you do that.

"THEY WERE EVENTUALLY LET GO AFTER SHOWING THIER DOCUMENTS". In other words, they were pulled out of their cars for looking "Mexican".

This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.
