I've been saying for ages that we have garbage microtransactions in games because games have been socially blocked from raising prices. Glad to have sources to finally back that lol

It starts with immigrants and the weak, but it does not end there. It never does. You have been warned.

The admin deported hundreds of people without any due process or judicial determinations whatsoever and in violation of a court’s order. They are attacking the First Amendment to target ideological enemies of the state. We are being turned into an authoritarian state. Sad!

I needed this - thanks

FACTS! Not make believe.

Price controls always sound good.

The question becomes: "who agrees to take less money".

If the CC comps don't say they are willing to make less money on interest, they will make it up in 2 ways :
Inventing other fees and charges
Cancelling/not approving the cards of anyone without good credit

Don't stress picking wrong, there's a simple enough way to respec if you switch up your build.

Life tip: you can insert USB cables correctly the first time most of the time by ensuring the USB symbol is facing up (or to the right if it's on its side).

A few last minute notes for #PathofExile2

- update your GPU drivers
- if you're using steam, go to properties and change the automatic updates settings to be high priority
- get your password manager ready if you use one
- put a PoE streamer on for twitch drops. Gift two subs after launch for a pet

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

Republicans: Joe Biden is a liar because he changed his mind about pardoning Hunter Biden

Also Republicans: Joe Biden didn't win the 2020 election. Joe Biden didn't win the 2020 election. Joe Biden didn't win the 2020 election. Joe Biden didn't win the 2020 election.

“In an unprecedented move, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans representing Connecticut, New York and Missouri have unilaterally declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia care if the surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes. The American Society of Anesthesiologists calls on Anthem to reverse this proposal immediately.”

Statement by the American Society of Anesthesiologists:

Close-up view of a fossil ant preserved in amber.  The ant is reddish-brown in color and its intricate details are visible in the amber.  Its legs and body segments are clearly discernible. The amber itself displays a yellowish-orange hue, with scattered, small, dark inclusions throughout. The lighting highlights the ant, creating a contrast against the amber's background.

Usually I don't post things older than the late Palaeolithic period, but #insects embedded in amber never cease to amaze me - the sheer age!

This ant preserved in its finest detail is some 50-million-year old.

Found in Gujarat, India.

Being the ghost is such a difficult position. I can never tell which players are going to hone in on all the small details and who's going to go "well this card is green"

Everyone Trump pardoned ☆

Where can we find this piece?

I love scary movies but living in one for 4 years seems a little excessive.

The people most outraged about a father pardoning his son for crimes committed during his addiction are the same ones who voted for a felon, who then pardoned his own family member and made them a U.S. ambassador.

I love this idea that Biden pardoning Hunter will somehow ‘justify’ or ‘excuse’ Trump pardoning the Jan 6th prisoners, ignoring the fact that:
1. Trump had promised to pardon them long before Biden did this.
2. There is nothing comparable between Hunter’s crimes & their crimes.

Just picked up CamelUp 2nd ed. For ~$15 on Amazon.

In honor of Jimi Hendrix, who would have turned 82 today, I wrote something for PBS about his incredible sense of style. He helped define not only the sound but also the look of a countercultural movement.

Time to give @bluesky props. As I write this, there are 560 quotes and replies to the post below.

Of those only 4 call me names and give me shit. About 15 do the same towards Trump.

The remaining 541 are on topic and add value.

👏👏👏👏👏

Elon's definitely, totally not mad.
