Additional side note: If any game needs *nothing* but a graphics update, it's Wing Commander. Don't update the story, don't add nine zillion detailed settings for nerds who read 50-page manuals, just update the graphics and let me go blow up arrogant Kilrathi princes
On a side note, I think classic BSG was named as an influence on the first Wing Commander game, especially for the launch sequences.

If you haven’t already discovered Stephen Sondheim’s musical “Assassins,” find it.
It’s SO good.

These people are operating outside the State Department, rather like the “Three Amigos” of Trump’s first term.

RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Even RUSSIA doesn’t like FOTUS’ plan.
NEW: Russian officials and state media continue to set information conditions to reject the US-proposed 28-point peace plan, indicating that the Kremlin is actively conditioning the Russian people to not accept anything less than a full victory in Ukraine. 🧵(1/8)

Brevard County is probably the most Florida county in the state due, in part, to their sheriff who loves a camera almost as much as he loves Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump.

While I was playing around videoing airplanes flying under the aurora last night, I had my other camera taking stills. Here's 1661 stills connected covering 55 actual minutes. The bright, fast moving streaks are the airplanes. I sped this up faster than normal because we all have swiping to do.

SCOTUS has gone out of its way to make it harder to sue Fed law enforcement for damages when they trample—sometimes literally—on your rights.
Illinois just made it so their resident can sue the Feds in state court.
