Bunch of celebs who should know better pitching a PAC on tiktok that raises money from progressive donors to pay Marc Elias' consulting firm.
If you see ads for State & Local Elections Alliance, it's Norm Eisen's group which had a 54% overhead last cycle.

When I graduated, Andy bought me a six-volume hardcover edition of Edward Gibbons Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. I remember as he gave it to me, he said something poignant about the timelessness of the human heart.

My friend Andy Robins passed away. The best boss I ever had. Took a chance on me and stood by me every time I screwed up. A talented journalist with the highest integrity, a kind human, and a great friend. We are poorer for having lost him. His retirement announcement, not even four years ago.

My mom has a collection of artifacts from a trip taken by my great x 3 grandma to visit the grave of her son, who died fighting in WWI. Incredible stuff.

In King's Quest II on the Apple IIe, this monk refuses to acknowledge or interact with you, and if you get frustrated an type "hit monk" into the parser, the game responds:
"Anyone who would hit a man of the cloth does not deserve to play this game," followed by a HARD SYSTEM RESET.

Drunk on the Karl Rove Kool aid.
![Quote from the Bush 43 era, widely attributed to Karl Rove. Guys like [Ron Suskind] operate in the "reality based community." The gist is that Rove thinks by being president you create reality by acting, and everyone else is just watching. Textbook proto-fascism.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ziejbbdqlsvt6twa35gdutgl/bafkreiezx3xja3ljoeulk3ya62vxljcftahp2dwtztrttemskukf55hpym@jpeg)

Probably not the first game of hers I played, but I spent a lot of Tass Times in Tonetown. I was learning guitar at the time and I loved that guitar picks were the currency. Hard game too!

CS2 also does a better job of communicating the relative urgency of things to the player. Kept the cycle wheel indicators from the first game (effectively a countdown), but the narrative and the art better reinforce it. This water hauler is visibly leaking, only a few cycles to repair it.
