Another year, another expansion, and my first full expansion release as part of the GW2 narrative team. Really proud of this expansion crew and excited to see where this story leads! ✨ #GuildWars2 #VisionsofEternity

I suspect the Venn diagram of people who like him and people who think Matt and Trey are good because they did one episode making fun of the orange one is a circle.

I don’t get it either, other than the lead singer is apparently a straight dude who supports him.

The Republican Plan to Reform the Census Could Put Everyone’s Privacy at Risk A little-known algorithmic process called β€œdifferential privacy” helps keep census data anonymous. Conservatives want it gone.

Of course they’re coming after us again

SNAP was the reason some of my friends and classmates were able to eat while they were in college. Many have now gone on to great careers where they can pay it forward to those who need it.

There’s no reason for this petty and nasty move by this administration to withhold SNAP from people.

There are going to be a LOT of people in thrift shops this year.
And in food banks.
And at holiday soup kitchens.

For the love of CHRIST - now that someone's brought this to your attention, please go through your stuff - for kids *and* for grown-ups - and for once, give some GOOD stuff away.

The US government has taking to using the same tactics as a teenager leaving a passive aggressive away message on AOL Instant Messenger. Lovely.

This is just cruel and disgusting.

"They're not supposed to do that to ME" is not a position worthy of respect.

"They should never do that to ANYONE" is.

Platner reshuffles campaign and sends out NDAs as he struggles to get ahead of controversies The Maine Senate candidate is bringing on a new campaign manager, among other changes.

NDAs?

Dude. Pack it in already.

You’d have thought we learned our lesson with Sinema and Fetterman. Maybe we don’t repeat the same mistakes with Platner?

I keep seeing Dems blamed for this guy's candidacy and I just want to point out that less than a week ago the complaint was that Dems weren't backing him. This is a case study in how easy it is to manipulate recent history.

The way this is going, the current findings about Platner really do seem to be the tip of an iceberg of shit.

Okay, did NOBODY vet this man? He's like an onion, but every layer is a new Milkshake Duck. Y'all can't find one former white vet for the job who isn't a Nazi? Call me optimistic, but I find that hard to believe.

So Pete Buttigieg is a monster because he interned for McKinsey, but here in my state we have to support the totally unqualified guy who worked for Blackwater with a Nazi tattoo who talked a bunch of shit on Reddit about women & black people or we’re not progressive enough.

Fucking *hell,* people.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Learned today that the public school district office that handles international students in my community can’t hold their usual coat drive because they’re afraid ICE will show up.

Fuck ICE so very much.

It wasn’t marked on any map. We knew where to go when the heat got heavy. The drop, the shock, the quiet after. The world forgot this dip and us for a while. We let it...

Okay, I know they’re in our division so
I’m conditioned to hate them, but I need the Blue Jays to win the World Series because a Canadian team winning the trophy might be what finally triggers the 25th Amendment.
