Sounds like a win. But also as a spectator I'm a little stunned that this kind of leverage was possible and that we didn't need to play games with SNAP benefits after all in October.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.
Homeland Security shutdown grows more likely as Republicans rebuff Democratic demands for ICE

Absolutely losing my mind over Ava, THE ROCK'S DAUGHTER, quitting WWE despite them offering her a raise to keep working a pretty cushy kayfabe general manager gig and then the day after her contract ends she posts this

Everyone in the administration should be in jail for war crimes but this reads suspiciously like a paragraph I'd read in an Email asking me to donate $5 to Schumer's reelection campaign
Gov Hochul: “No one is above the law — no one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not the President of the United States—
Make no mistake, when these ppl who have abused the power entrusted to them by their offices are finally out of power, states, including NY, will hold them accountable”

Kat Abughazaleh doesn't just influence the Overton Window; when she speaks she sits in the driver's seat of the Overton Window. She has shaped this race and shows the dedication & awareness to shape the national conversation. We're all done with the chickenshits; Kat meets the moment.
ICE does not need more training. They’re doing exactly what they’re trained to do.
Democrats cannot vote for a single cent to ICE.

This was evident nearly 30 years ago when Trump was quoted in his own book claiming that being forced to remove asbestos from his buildings was an organized crime plot to bankrupt him and all the mesothelioma victims were paid agitators.
Trump has never lived in the real world. He's gone from pampered nepo baby to New York dilettante to TV game show host to isolated White House resident. His only job was TV star. He's never paid his own bills. He's never bought his own groceries. He's nothing like you. He doesn't understand you.

Too bad so many football players and owners are MAGA because an NFL wildcat strike would probably go a long way right now

This looks neat. But part of me is a little alarmed like they're trying to squeeze every last bit of juice they can from whatever Toriyama was working on when he died (at a relatively young age, likely at least partly due to the stressful life of a mangaka)

Reading some reddit reviews of R.F. Kuang's Babel and it's wild how people refuse to believe a book has subtext when they can barely digest the text.

Completed my first ever November Novel challenge. Was a helpful exercise to "flush" some ideas out of my head and work out some ideas I'd been kicking around for a long time.
My prize is one month of a premium sub to RR and a really fucked up sleep schedule

Today's shmup discourse made me want to look up the video that got me into rhythm games and it's still on YouTube, actually probably 4 or 5 older than this.

My first time doing a November novella challenge in earnest and I'm pretty happy with the progress. It feels like a mental flush for the stuff I have sitting in my head all the time.
