I spent the better part of a day dealing with this, and luckily I was able to resurrect my machine without a full reset.

Microslop is a mess. In the last five years I have seen more critical fuckups like this than I saw in three decades of IT.

Daimakaimura (1988) by Capcom. Western title Ghouls 'n Ghosts. Key art illustration for PC Engine SuperGrafx by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko.
Daimakaimura / Ghouls 'n Ghosts (1988): A dramatic fantasy illustration depicting a golden-armored knight in full plate mail with a horned helmet, red cape billowing behind him, kneeling on one knee while thrusting a large glowing sword upward. Perched on his raised knee is a beautiful woman with long dark hair, wearing a white flowing dress, pink stockings, and ballet-style shoes, clinging to him with a surprised expression. Looming massively in the stormy dark sky above is a gigantic demonic head with horns, a single red eye, fanged open mouth, and mechanical tubes extending from it, surrounded by lightning bolts, swirling clouds, and a fiery orange-red glow. The scene conveys epic heroism and supernatural menace against a turbulent night backdrop.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.

Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Minnesota is indistinguishable from Canada – Minnesotans speak the same language, share the same cultural traditions, endure the same weather as Canadians

Canada could invite Minnesota to join us and become our 11th province, and enjoy NATO protection against foreign soldiers occupying its cities

Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

You guys know how the owners of Anime Matsuri also own a bar called The Anime Bar outside of Houston? Seems they run that bar much like they run their conventions, because after a patron talked to the cops about how a friend's drink may have been drugged, an employee banned her from returning.

Between these watches appearing in game and the licensed Porsche, I’m imagining pre-production meetings for RE9 where the team keeps getting hung up on how to grow and un-dorkify Leon until finally a young intern in the back raises his hand and asks “what if we made him dripped out as fuck”

RFK Jr: "One of the things we're doing is Brooke Rollins is requiring that any facility, and store that accepts food stamps will have to double the amount of whole food that is now available to recipients. So that will change the marketplace around the country."

If you sit on any major street in the Twin Cities, within 5 minutes you'll see black SUVs racing around, doubling the speed limit. Passing on narrow two lane roads. It's absolutely insane right now.
