Great news, everybody! The ACA is materially undermined, no concessions were secured on any other front, and Donald Trump will be able to declare this a personal win. But poor people did starve for about a week there, so there's that.
The Senate has decided the HSA idea from Trump is a win and they're going to do it.
Man, this timeline SUCKS.

I feel dividing music listenership into "people who exclusively listen to streaming services" and "people who exclusively listen to physical media" is overlooking the important transitional category of "people who exclusively listen to shitty overcompressed MP3s they pirated on LimeWire in 2002".

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

Looks like it's time for SQUENIX to shoot itself in the foot again. How are those NFT games going, hm?
I honestly wish that someday CBU3 manages to get the rights for their work and then GTFO to start their own thing. The company doesn't deserve them.
I know it won't happen, but it would be nice.

So they're going to do this for one, maybe two games. It'll be full speed ahead until it's 6 months from release and the game is falling apart, at which point they'll pay an insane overtime rate for a QA studio to do it last minute which won't be enough.

Even with news that we might be getting 50% of SNAP benefits (doubt) I'm in a rough state financially.
So I'm opening UNLIMITED commission slots w/ an additional 10% discount, the catch being there is no deadline for final product.
Just mention an unlimited slot and you're in.

Last minute costume because I'll drop dressing up for Halloween when I'm buried 6ft under. Don't really have anywhere to go (and left the wings off in the Dr appointment, I'm not dealing with wings and doors at the same time) but at least with the ears and makeup I still look like a fancy elf 😅
