One of my favorite tidbits from this development is that not only did grass start growing in the desert for the first time, but that it grew so tall to the point it started covering the solar panels and becoming a massive issue, and the best solution was to just let sheep eat the grass.

it reveals pretty plainly that "merit-based hiring" means "you belong to the correct class and hold the right set of identities"
Odd how when people like Bari Weiss go on about 'merit-based hiring', what they mean is hiring nice-looking white boys from elite schools regardless of their experience.

this is the natural result of people who have decided they need to simultaneously be unconditionally supportive of the project of Israel while being firmly pro-nazi and antisemitic
Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

My mother was a refugee of the Salvadoran civil war. The Americans backed the fascists that took over the country. Now Salvador is run by a pro yankee crypto dictator who has built the largest concentration camp in the western hemisphere. That, is American intervention.

VP Delcy Rodriguez, whom Trump indicated earlier today was collaborating with the US government, is live on television right now.
Earlier reports that she's in Russia are false. She's in Caracas with the rest of the cabinet.
Rodriguez: "We will never again be a colony for any empire"

it's ok (in some genres! not all!) for players to not immediately intuit something, suck at it for a while, complain, etc. because that is the inherent cost of mastering a hard-to-learn skill. adding support for learning is always great, but don't sand off all the edges cuz someone stumbled a little

friday soapbox: as a designer, if you want something to be a skillful action for players, and you want growth in this skill to be very deep/meaningful, then you need to also let players be bad at it. sometimes horrendously bad. players hate this pain, and designers often want to mitigate it away.
