XCOM: Enemy Unknown

XCOM: Enemy Unknown was released 13 years ago today.

I spent a few nights fighting the alien invaders. 😌

Kid just boarded the bus clutching a well-worn toy M5 assault rifle from #Halo almost as big as he is. Blast from the past...

America has become a spectacularly corrupt nation. #MAGADelendaEst

Handsome gray tabby with big gold eyes lounging on the back of a couch beside a window. He is really, really, really ridiculously good-looking.

“At least I am terribly good-looking in *every* light”

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

I would be *extremely* interested in learning what the proposed causal process is for that one. #MAGADelendaEst

Never forget the time Rush's Geddy Lee posted a selfie with this mug

This is an astounding story and the LAPD should be horrifically embarrassed by this, if nothing else:

You misspelled "provincial funding" in your post. HTH.

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy.

Some thoughts from my new piece:

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies?

By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

I rather doubt their claim.

There it is.

The best way to hurt MAGA is to hit them in the wallet. #MAGADelendaEst

Do not buy my books from Amazon or Down and Out Books directly. I will not get paid. I should get paid, as per my contract, but in an email from D&O I’ve been told ‘no further payments will be issued.’
It absolutely blows it is ending this way, but man, pay your authors what they are owed.

I still can't believe how quickly Russia squandered the USSR tank pool... against a regional power to boot, not even a NATO member.

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

BREAKING: Trump Admin 'Seriously' Considering Using the Insurrection Act, Reports NBC President Trump is "seriously" considering invoking the Insurrection Act in order to more easily deploy National Guard troops to major cities as part of crime crackdown, NBC reported on Wednesday

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

Democrats should just start insisting that they saw very real videos of people rioting at Mar-a-Lago -- overturning golf carts, setting fire to the brunch buffet, stabbing busboys with carving knives, whatever -- and calling on Trump to send the Illinois National Guard there to restore order.
