Playing Arc Raiders in an attempt to understand what people like about these games.

I casually teamed up with 5 other solo players. We made our way to the top of a huge tower, defending and healing each other, sharing loot along the way.

I then watched 4 of the 5 die falling off of a ladder.

It’s really impressive to stand out as an enemy amid an occupation of our nation’s cities by armed federal forces.

Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

Well, these images have done the viral circuit, and are now at the spot where people are accusing them of being AI.

Bummer to those folks: they are not AI. These are real photographs, made with my mirrorless cameras.

Media literacy sure is lost on so many people, it's quite sad.

Anyway I think one reason I'm not that mad at these guys is we already knew they were the wrong people for this moment. A party trying to carry on with business as usual in the face of autocracy won't survive. They're sitting in a burning house and commissioning polls on how popular the fire is
If you think the president is a tyrant and you're running for office to oppose him the only platform you can have is "Give us enough votes to impeach and remove this menace." Otherwise what's the point of electing you?

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

This is the same problem that we see when law firms and universities strike “deals” w Trump to stop Trump from doing ILLEGAL things!! That’s not a contract or even a good faith agreement. That’s a shakedown.
One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law!

That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

This looks awfully intentional.
None can be primaried in the next cycle, Shaheen & Durbin retiring.

Every single Senator who either voted for this or refused to call for Schumer’s ouster should not ever be allowed to go to a restaurant again without getting bood and heckled until they are forced to leave.
durbin should get primaried even after he retires. if he's trying to sit down at a restaurant somebody should take his seat
