And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you *know*. That the bourgeois are not human.

Meditations in an Emergency Cameron Awkward-Rich I wake up & it breaks my heart. I draw the blinds & the thrill of rain breaks my heart. I go outside. I ride the train, walk among the buildings, men in Monday suits. The flight of doves, the city of tents beneath the underpass, the huddled mass, old women hawking roses, & children all of them, break my heart. There's a dream I have in which I love the world. I run from end to end like fingers through her hair. There are no borders, only wind. Like you, I was born. Like you, I was raised in the institution of dreaming. Hand on my heart. Hand on my stupid heart.

Everyday for a month I'm like this

It feels more nefarious/worse when there isn't a big to-do about smaller layoffs. Just quietly dumping people into the LinkedIn pile feels bad, man.

Tbh this is how all high ranking military use signal. I got added to texts like this all the time and you'd be lime O_O "Col XYZ this is not a SCIF"

I am so drained of life. This cat has no idea it's my pool noodle in the ocean.

Today's been one of those days where you just need to sleep it off and start over again tomorrow 😅

Do not worry for me, or for yourself. Death will take us when it wills and till then, we shall live, truly live.

Wynne and Leliana's interactions are so kind. I feel sad that Leliana does not say much about her in the later games, as there was a lot of sage advice thrown around in DAO. Especially considering there's a world where Leliana ends up just like Wynne - dead but revived by a spirit / god.

Wynne did not hit as a teen playing DA:O but as an adult? Wow she made me cry quite a few times. She feels very real to me as a character.

INSULINDIAN PHASMID - And when you fall we will come to raise you up, bud from you, banner-like, blossom from you and carry you apart in a sky funeral. In honour of your passing. (But not me, because I am just a leaf eater.)

Gorgeous art and gorgeous audio and gorgeous VO.

Oh Bob

i’m glad kim kitsuragi isn’t real because he’d hate this

The UI ist nicht so gut. I'm also sad about the performance problems the later you get into the ages. I think the diplomatic actions and the narrative events are delightful though. I wish the narrative events had been in Civ6, if they were I'd just go back to 6.

My (v much an immigrant) partner did not know what ICE stood for and said "Immigration Camp E-llegal"?

Yesterday was the 15th Anniversary of #DragonAge2, a gem from the time before games were political.

A gripping, non-political narrative about the qunari uprising in Kirkwall because they were living in an apartheid state and an act of domestic terror committed by a man sent to a conversion camp.

Well I decided to get Civ7 and find out and war is so much easier than in Civ6 (at least in the antiquity age).

+1

So, how does one wage war in Civilization 6? And how does it compare to Civ 7?

Also do #civ7 tags matter? I'm used to Tumblr.

I stopped posting because I won my first culture victory and then I got a religious victory on my next game and I like it a lot. I think I am still unsure how to wage war in this game?

Government AI, defending DOGE and more: Takeaways from Elon Musk’s three-hour interview with Joe Rogan The wide-ranging interview between the two prominent Trump supporters comes as Musk remakes the federal government.

Musk states "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy". Charles Darwin, who actually researched this stuff, showed it was empathy, specifically, that enabled humanity to flourish.

YES SIR!!!

I am almost done with a settler difficulty game and I don't understand but am enjoying myself?

Sorry you're feeling so bad!

You know we live in fucked up times when Thomas Massie is the only Republican to call out Trumps budget

I took EXTENSIVE handwritten notes today and I now understand what almost half of the icons mean.

I've decided to try out Civ 6 and woo buddy is it complicated. I'm having to decide if I want this to become a new obsession or not.
