Taken from the game Gunner, Heat, PC. This game probably has my favourite explosions of any game I've played. Their fiery and orange look makes every Soviet kill more satisfying.

โ€œThe Republican Party is going to lose a lot of votes around here,โ€ said Ricardo Sandoval, 35, a trucking and warehousing businessman in Laredo who supported Mr. Trump in November.

Mr. Sandoval said he agreed with Mr. Trumpโ€™s campaign promises for tax cuts, tariffs on China and an immigration crackdown along the border. But now, he said, he feels he was misled. The roller coaster of on-again-off-again tariffs has depressed cross-border trade and upended his business, pushed prices up and forced him to lay off more than a dozen employees. Mr. Trumpโ€™s aggressive immigration enforcement actions have been disrespectful to the thousands of Hispanics who supported him, Mr. Sandoval said. And he said the Republicansโ€™ redistricting effort in Texas was an unethical way to try to hold onto power.

โ€œThereโ€™s a sense of betrayal,โ€ he said.

Ricardo Sandoval, a Hispanic businessman in Laredo, tells @poojasalhotra.bsky.social voted for Trump because of his policies on tariffs, tax cuts and immigration. Now, he says he feels misled and that Trump's immigration enforcement actions disrespect Hispanics. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/u...

I will still always argue the best Star Trekโ€™s are Deep Space Nine, Lower Decks and Star Trek novels.

The EU is preparing sanctions on China over its support for Russiaโ€™s war. The move follows reports of covert drone engine shipments to Moscow disguised as โ€œrefrigeration units.โ€ Fifteen EU countries have confronted China, but Beijing has denied or ignored the claims.-Politico

The problem with whiteness as a CONSTRUCT is that white people are very attached to individuality and privilege as the le expressions of humanity

So they think that not intending to mean something is good enough and being asked to change to save others is oppression

In honor of John Huston's birthday, you should pick up the Kino Lorber Blu-ray of the recently restored Law and Order (1932), one of the 1st films John Huston wrote & the 1st "Wyatt Earp" film. It's one of the best Westerns of all time & this is the best it's looked in forever...
