It's what makes it so good. I'm not generally a big fan of roguelites, but Hades is great.

Advisor whispering into Pres. George W Bush's ear on 9/11, "A future president, even dumber than you,  will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today,  and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets"

He looks like an 80's action movie villain who just consumed the serum is about to start his transformation.

I stopped at the point where she said she hadn't really looked at Eric's work and felt that it was a waste of time, as I suspect that would be the only salient point.

As we have learned, ICE probably doesn't care what his immigration status is; they'll simply state what they want it to be, and ship him off.

I wonder how the 4 states that only require 1 (or fewer) spouses correlate to respective laws on child marriage. It's a lot easier for them to marry a minor when they don't have to pull them out of school/daycare.

So, the only thing that um.. trumps her loyalty to Trump is.. *checks notes* racism.

I doubt that she would give a shit if Trump were receiving a similarly lavish bribe from somewhere a bit more white and more 'Christian'.

If you put a bunch of goths at the Corvus Corax table, they would likely *think* they know the secret of the table name.

It makes sense that Trump would only want to honor vets of WWI & WW2; he only cares about wars that the US conclusively won. He considers veterans of other wars (Korea, Vietnam, etc) to be "losers", and thus, unworthy of recognition.

At the same time, he erases veterans by changing Veteran's Day to Victory Day for World War I, a war from which there are (likely) no surviving US veterans (they'd be in their 120s at the least).

After I saw someone refer to RFK jr as the horseman Pestilence, I've tried matching up his cohort with the other horsemen. Hegseth is obviously War. Trump, simply based on his economic plans alone, is Famine. However, I couldn't figure out who Death was... until 4/21.

Get Pete Hegseth too. He has obvious gang tattoos.

While I suspect that Booker's speech was largely performative, perhaps it will at least goad Dems into doing something useful, lest they run the risk of having to sit through 25+ hours of that again.

That's Ubisoft for you. Though, at least, in the past, microtransactions weren't needed to do well/advance in the game (granted, last Ubisoft game I played was AC Odyssey).
