Days before 42 million Americans would lose access to food assistance (SNAP), Trump hosted a lavish Halloween party for his wealthy friends. Trump simply does not care about the working class, and he does not care about kids going hungry. Only cares about keeping the billionaires feed. With money!

Tasteless considering all the folks facing food insecurity and after nearly a million people have lost their jobs this year, due to the wealthy padding the stock market.

wow i predicted umamusume...
i don't know why the hex i decided to make this match The Princess Bride outside of just not having any other idea but that sure is a thing i did

“I’m scared of them both,” Wren mutters. “At first I thought Erada wouldn’t be so bad because she’s about my height, but that doesn’t matter when she can literally turn me into a mouse!”

“How was that experience, by the way?” Belle asks.

“Horrifying!” Wren says. “I’m short enough as it is.” They rub their head. “I did like the better sense of smell and hearing, but it doesn’t add much when you’re so tiny.”

“What if Erada offered ot make you a bigger creature?” Belle asks.

“No!” Wren says, head in their hands. “No, I don’t want to be any—” They look at Belle. “Actually, do you think she could turn me into a horse?”

“A horse?” Belle asks. “Why do you want to be a horse?” Wren taps their fingers together.

“I mean, I just think it’d be fun to be in one of those horse sports,” they say. “Like, dressage or something. I mean, look at me.” They spread their arms. “I don’t have the physique to sport!”

Erada walks out onto the stadium field, her hat and pockets stocked with her potions and herbs and notes and knives. When she reaches the staging area, she finds Maestra waiting for her.

Indeed, Maestra set out a little picnic spread. She took a small handkerchief and on it she placed two wine goblets. In the center sits a small leather wine holder and, beside it, some cheese and some apples.

“Welcome,” Maestra says. “Are you ready for our encounter, little one?”

“I’m ready to go, buggy,” Erada says. She smirks. “Are you proposing a drinking contest, or just a picnic before the fight?”

“I thought a friendly meal might be polite, first,” Maestra says. “With your diminutive size, I’m not sure a drinking contest would be fair.” Erada smacks her knee.

“Not when you think about it that way,” she says. “For our sort of drinking contest, just one sip would be enough to declare a winner. Let us begin this contest: pour the wine.”

“What you don’t smell is a set of herbs,” she says, “ground up into powder. Together they’re odorless, tasteless, and dissolve in any liquid. It also happens to be a powerful hypnotic agent that drops any who ingests it into a deep sleep.”

“Ah, so our sort of drinking contest,” Maestra says.

Erada takes the goblets and turns away. Maestra hums to herself. Erada busies herself a long moment before she turns again with a goblet in each hand and, carefully, places the goblet in her right hand in front of Maestra and places the goblet in her left hand before herself. She drops her empty packet by the cheese.

“Your guess,” Erada says. “Where is the hypnotic agent?”

“Right here.” Maestra removes a vial from her dress. “Do you mind if I double the danger for our contest?” Erada smiles.

“Your venom must be injected, does it not?” she asks. Maestra grins.

“It does, but a few extra ingredients makes it work just as well as a drink. What do you think I put in my tea?”

“There’s no reason to guess,” Erada says. “I’ll determine which has your venom by examining you. Now you know which has your venom, but neither of us know which has my drug.” She grins to Maestra. “We have four possibilities now. My glass has my drug and your venom, and yours is clean; your glass is clean, and yours has my drug and your venom; my glass has my drug and your glass has your venom; my glass has your venom and your glass has my drug. In the latter two, it is an impasse result: we both fall.”

“So which do you choose?” Maestra asks.

“A fool,” Erada says, “would place the venom in her own goblet, because she would know that only another fool would reach first for what is given. I am no fool, so I will not take your wine.” Maestra smiles.

“Does that mean that you put your drug in my wine?” Maestra asks.

“Why should I?” Erada asks. “I know you are no fool, so you wouldn’t fall for such a trick. As would I not fall for it, but, no fool yourself, you would know this, so I have no reason to take my own wine.” Maestra frowns.

My biggest complaint with Fatal Frame 4 so far is actually this bullshit. It's super obnoxious and tasteless.

A cute little easter egg is one thing, but just jamming your own game's name as a core concept into someone elses IP just fucking rubs me the wrong way. It's so arrogant.

See also: randomly finding out a streamer is Irish or game they play is based in Ireland and jumping into the potato jokes. You're just being racist and mocking a genocide, don't be That Guy- it's as tasteless as making gas ovens ""jokes"" on a German streamer's channel.

Homies. Just cause you say your grandparents are Irish or you have Irish ancestry doesn't mean you get a pass on doing potato jokes. In fact you should know better not to do that. Why is it that when people pull the it's okay my family is Irish only when they're making a racist joke. Stop doing that
