Seriously, just ask any game dev. If I had a nickel for every time the players discovered a new way to play the game...

(And most of us think it is cool, BTW)

Portland isnโ€™t on fire but Judge Goodsteinโ€™s home is.

A child rapist has the nuke codes while children are zip-tied in Chicago.

The we need guns to fight tyranny guys are doing the tyranny.

The freedom of speech guys are stomping on free speech.

The pro-life party is only aroused by death.

This happens for the same reason no one talks about Rush Limbaugh since his death; neither of them said anything important. They just spread hate.

Ed Martin: One of America's most dangerous men
YouTube video by Lawyer Oyer Ed Martin: One of America's most dangerous men

Ed Martin is one of the most dangerous people in America. As DOJ's "weaponization" director and Pardon Attorney, he is using the justice system to carry out Trump's revenge agenda. He's dangerously unqualified yet wields enormous power. Please watch and share. youtube.com/shorts/wv0G9...

This is the most inept administration to let the government shut down. Is it because then there will not be a vote to release the Epstein files? This regime is holding us hostage and Mike Johnson is enabling it to the detriment of Americans! We deserve better than this! #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown

Well, we have 2 fires closing in on our city, one from the NW and one from the SW. Both are about 15 miles out. There is a constant stream of fire-fighting planes lifting off the Columbia River and flying over my house.

This could get *real* interesting.

I suspect at least some operations will be moved to Saudi; I'm just not sure which ones.

I'm pretty sure we still lead in the use of leeches in the US.

Leveraged buyouts rarely work out well for the employees. Servicing $50b USD in debt isn't going to be easy; I expect cutbacks throughout the organization.

Things have grown so dire in Portland, Oregon that residents may soon face a shortage of artisanal baked goods, almond milk rose petal beetroot lattes, and cold brew mushroom tonic.

It is hard as hell to find boysenberry jam anywhere, these days. When I was a kid, you could buy it at the market.

Now... nada.

Saw it on opening day, first showing. And when it finished, left the theater and got back in line to see it again.

Can We Actually Save America?

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen.
