I never got the chance to know my two grandfathers, but was fortunate enough to have two amazing grandmothers. Both have been hit by alzheimers (one now recently gone). What a horrid curse.

Not to dismiss the severity of other diseases, but I truly think alzheimers is the worst there is.

He is right and it did exactly as they intended. It’s always been an issue of abuse and control, a transfer of wealth upward while the poor and middle class suffer:

Huge fan of TLOU. This controller stinks.

Looks like you guys let some kid put some stickers on it and called it a day. And the colors don't scream TLOU either. This controller is extremely underwhelming.

I like old version combination is better. More unified.
I also prefer the gun instead of the bullet. Nothing was wrong with the old version.

Hope you avoided spoilers and were able to watch the show yourself. One of the best, if not the best, TGAs we've had in a while. Makes me miss E3 even more.

So exciting. A new IP from the Naught Gods?? Finally. Can't wait to see more.

Also, breathe of fresh air to see the conversation about this game on Bsky vs Twitter. Twitter is already popping off with childish, toxic takes about the game.

Syria: The largest statue of Hafez Assad in the country has been destroyed. The Assad dictatorship lasted for 53 years from 1971. Ruled first by Hafez, then his son Bashar.

Yeah, sports Bsky just ain't what Twitter is. Nowhere near. But it's early. Hope things can gain traction here.

πŸ“ŒUnder Joe Biden:

-Record 16 million jobs created
-Lowest average unemployment rate of any administration in 50 yrs
-Incomes up $4,000 over prices
-Inflation at world-best 2%
-Economy grew more than any presidential term this century

Dems lose election because of economy.
Absolutely INSANE.

Mine is not a horror story, per se, but having lived in both Germany and France, I can tell you, I *hate* the US profit-driven medical system. People who defend it are either making money on it, don't know any better, or are ideologically blinded.

A ton of my favorite follows haven't made it over yet, no trending, no bookmarks.

I left social media (Twitter) all together after the 24 Election, but joined Bsky two weeks later. Might have to exit social media again.

Only form of social media I've used over the last decade was Twitter. Since Elon took over, its quality has drastically plummeted.

I like Bluesky, but it isn't good enough yet. So far, just seems to be an echo chamber for the left. And I'm a Dem saying this.

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight.

The class wars.

Response to coups by elected leaders:

- South Korea: blocked by mass mobilization of citizens

- Brazil: coup leader indicted, barred from politics

- United States: coup leader re-elected with majorities in the legislature and a compliant Supreme Court

After securing a majority on the North Carolina Supreme Court in 2022, Republican justices promptly overturned a ruling that had struck down GOP gerrymanders, paving the way for their party’s lawmakers to draw a new map designed to hand them several congressional districts. By then, Democrats already had no recourse outside of state courts: This U.S. Supreme Court has shut the door on complaints of partisan gerrymandering proceeding in federal courts.

The maneuver paid off last week. The GOP flipped three U.S. House seats, a windfall in light of that chamber’s tiny overall margin.

The final House results have now landed as 220-215 for the GOP. That means the House majority came down to the 3 NC seats the GOP flipped thanks to its brand new gerrymander.

And that gerrymander hinged on NC's supreme court flipping in 2022.

Lee Jae-myung, Leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, live-streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to bypass military barricades so that he could vote to overturn the President's martial law.

I am watching with grave concern over the actions of the South Korean president to declare martial law, all because the opposition has blocked his agenda and impeached his cabinet.

Democracy is under assault across much of the world. We must be on highest guard here as well as Trump takes office.

A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana β€” sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art β€” and then ate it last Friday.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story

The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post
