I take pictures and play video games, and think about writing. Not necessarily in that order.

"what if I also don't know anything" is nefarious, and lives in the brain of everyone who knows at least a few things

This is appalling and if Xbox doesn’t do something about it then they’re on the line for this marketing too

The White House, and America, and the Constitutional order -- all in a pile of rubble because a petty tyrant wants to break things and remake them in his image.

I finally beat the Last Judge yesterday, after about three days of being stymied.

The first time I beat her I didn't clear the space and uh... I said some unflattering things on top of gripping my controller so hard I might have bent the casing a little.

I finally beat the Last Judge, then she exploded and killed me and I swear to God I think I gripped my controller so hard I cracked it a little.

Fuck this game

...

I'll go back tomorrow maybe

I have been stuck on The Last Judge for my last three play sessions, and it's been years since I was this ready to spike a controller.

I really can't think of anything I want less from my computer than to have to talk to it.

It's bad enough trying to troubleshoot a PC issue via MS knowledge articles and dubious reddit posts. I can't imagine adding yet another layer of obfuscation on top of that.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally β€” almost certainly incomplete β€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

Stephen Miller Says Trump Has 'Plenary Authority'
YouTube video by HuffPost Stephen Miller Says Trump Has 'Plenary Authority'

The Nazis used the concept of "plenary power"β€”or complete, absolute authorityβ€”to legally dismantle Germany's democracy and establish a dictatorship. The Enabling Act of 1933 was the key piece of legislation that granted these powers to Adolf Hitler and his cabinet.

My backlog is so deep I can't imagine resubscribing to game pass, so this is purely immaterial, but goddamn.

The tact of "adding value" in order to raise the price of a service is so completely tone-deaf in the year of our Lord 2025

I can't believe it took me this long to finally get shots of #birds nesting in saguaros, but I finally crossed it off the list yesterday. It's an #AZ thing, to be sure.

I have no idea what kind of #bird this is. I took the shot at the riparian preserve in Gilbert #AZ. This guy was probably two feet tall, not including leg, just hanging out on a branch in the early morning light.

A whole lot of folks under our age (or at our age for that matter) don't know who Spiro Agnew was.

They probably would assume that's a character name from some media they aren't familiar with.

I have been listening to the latest episode of The HOA and I have yelled in my car "Goddamnit Rob!" No less than 5 times.

I am 15 minutes in.

Congress should haul in Pam Bondi and Kash Patel this week to explain why the FBI caught Tom Homan taking bribesβ€”and why Trump’s DOJ killed the case.

That’s corruption, plain and simple.

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work
