I just have a very sick feeling that ICE is gonna start rounding up Arabic people for those concentration camps it’s building.

Japanese internment, all over again. You know Miller’s eager for it.

Etsy Witches up to their biz again.

Guessing Kuwait shot out planes down because Whiskey Pete Hegseth didn’t feel the need to tell the Kuwaitis that we’d be violating their airspace during a shooting war.

Luckily, the Kuwaiti people are much chiller about this than they honestly need to be.

Waiting nearly an hour just to get checked in at the auto repair shop is probably not a good sign, is it?

Californian here. No, he hasn't.

And no, he won't.

Also, not a fan of the ammo economy. Reminds me a lot of Destiny 1, Day One, where you just ran out of ammo, and then you were screwed.

(That happened a lot in Marathon.)

I love the aesthetics, but you're either running or in menus, and that's also a big detachment for me. There's no real immersion in this world beyond a run, where you're busy getting shot. There's nothing to care about. Story (in the beta, anyway) felt a thin.

Won't bother PvPheads. They're fine.

I'm also hoping the release game has a better onboarding, because outside of Guns, Shields, and Health, I had no idea what I was collecting, what it was for, or how to use it. I don't spend time reading in a live PvP environment, and the UI menus post-run are... not helpful.

Put some time into Marathon, and I wish Bungie well with it, but it'll be the first game they've made in 25 years that I won't be purchasing. It has the shooter polish you'd expect from them, but Extraction is not my genre and the uphill to Good Gear (which you can easily lose) feels steep.

I clicked the link in the original post. Gat Dam. Congrats!

This assumes decent society follows you, Gail.

Boy-Boy First Time.

It’s not like any other part of this was particularly smart, but I take your point.

It’s your patch and you know it better, but I suspect any cogent power structure atm is optimistic. Unless the generals there rally to 1-3 strong religious or political figures who emerge (as leaders or military puppets), I can see rule-of-the-gun factionalism breaking out.

Is Pezeshkian alive?

Post See new posts Conversation Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong. They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h They took as suspicious proposals that Iran saw as concessionary. Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood Laura Rozen @lrozen Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Juuuuuust waiting for that motherfucker to declare Mission Accomplished.

I really hope the Silent Movie novelization is all blank pages.

Okay, Oneko the Devil Cat just flopped on my laptop, and now BlueSky thinks I'm fluent in Korean.

The very first strike in a war of choice **that we started** included an atrocity. Literal War Crimes material.

But there won't be any more, I'm sure.

Wow, I just got an email from DNC Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social that didn't ask for money! But he had some thoughts on Trump's actions in Iran.

Well, Ken... so do I. And some thoughts on the Democratic messaging strategy under the Trump regime.

(I would usually have more paragraph breaks, tho.)

(I know he won't. Too spineless.)

Any politician who vows to prosecute and/or extradite to The Hague for criminal prosecution Trump, Hegseth, Miller, Noem, and Netanyahu (should he ever set foot on U.S. soil) on the very first day of their Presidency has my vote.

Sigh. Yes, even you, @gavinnewsom.bsky.social.

Oh, damn… missed that this year. :(

You can't have a Republican president without attacking a country of brown-skinned people under false pretenses.

I'm kinda getting AOL Time-Warner vibes out of this deal.
