Bummer that they didn’t find him with some marijuana or something, a much, much more dangerous crime than committing actual treason.

I had to share this when I saw that the AP had the gumption to finally use the ‘L’ word in the article’s headline, instead of some euphemistic bullshit like “misled” or “false claims”.

LIED, baby. Lied.

Finally.

The original Resident Evil was pretty revolutionary and terrifying for me, but the 100% scariest I’ve played is the original Dead Space.

More recently, The Outlast Trials is really good, and I would HIGHLY recommend any of the Dark Pictures Anthology games, but my favorite is Man of Medan.

More like bots, really. Threads had a huge user influx but also a ton of inorganic activity.

Yeah, it is.

Could even get Trump reelected in a few months. Super bleak.

you gotta assume they’ll eventually hire and fire/lose all the usable talent

I’d like to think that, but Amazon has the benefit (at least in the US) of operating in a country where most people need 2-3 jobs in order to live, so it’s either churn-and-burn or starve.

Oh man, I am an avid reader of history and I’ve never heard of this. Thanks for sharing!

Video games as a narrative vehicle have come a long way.

Go try ‘Detroit: Become Human’ or ‘Man of Medan’ or ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’. The stories in gaming are GD amazing.

The only thing that amazes me about is how cheap it is to get a meeting with a presidential candidate. I’m not sure the going rate now, but it was around half a million dollars in 2016, and quite a few outlets reported on it. A measly 500k is nothing for most major corporations, and if it can get you a few minutes in private with a presidential candidate to demand a favor, there’s no better investment that you can make.

If we look at the actions of the party in power over the last several decades, it becomes clear that it doesn’t matter who we elect. Both Democrats and Republicans, based on their actions when they’re in power, have the same policy on Israeli genocide.

Reminds me of Robert Reich, who makes his money railing against the evils of capitalism, but seemingly did nothing to change it when he actually had the power to do so in the Clinton Administration.

He’s right though, it’s just a bummer that he didn’t find his conscience when he could make real change.

I’m curious as to how the fundraising for Palestine actually benefits the situation. Is it even possible to get charitable donations in?

The mainstream media is owned by billionaires. The real question is why you expect them to care about Project 2025?

I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting on that, honestly.

Agreed. The headline made it sound like the deceased person was injected or something.

Attorneys for the plaintiffs argued that six of the Trump Train drivers violated state and federal law. Lawyers for the defendants said they did not conspire against the Democrats on the bus and that their actions are protected speech.

I don’t know how, given the harassing and objectionable temperament of Trump supporters, that anyone could argue this with a straight face. How is it even a question that this was a violent incident? Because they didn’t fire a gun at the bus?

“As young people, we’re poised to inherit a world that needs thoughtful, informed leadership more than ever. But if we’re not even willing to watch a debate

I think it’s fair to say that Gen Z has seen enough of both major parties to know definitively that neither of the two leaders up for the job are going to do anything meaningful to change their lives in a positive way. Their entire lives they’ve watched presidents of both parties promise to raise wages, improve health care and education, and spend less on war. Instead, they’ve watched both of their parents working full-time jobs while still finding themselves unable to provide for the family’s needs and education.

And it isn’t lost on them that when money for a war or corporate bailout needs to happen, it happens overnight, every single time. During COVID the government even made a few trillion we didn’t have appear out of thin air overnight.

It’s unreasonable at this point to expect Gen Z to care. Why waste a badly-needed day’s work to vote when you have observed for your entire life that things stay consistent regardless of who’s elected?

Compared to the US, very hefty.

Is it enough, though? I can’t say if it is or not, but my gut tells me it’s not enough.

That’s wonderful news to read.

Mostly Neverwinter Nights.

We’ve had more active players on the server I DM for, so I’ve been popping in more often to run quests and ambience for all the newbies.
