- The original Marathon Trilogy, by Bungie back in the 90s. (and no, not the extraction shooter remake nonsense they are working on now)
- X-Wing, TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs TIE FIghter (don't even need to change much, just graphics and controls for modern gamepads)

All these people care about is “number go up!” “line go up!”.

If at any point the rate of those things slows, then “THING MUST BE DYING!!”

So thinks the Business Idiot in this Rot Economy they’ve created (cheers to Ed Zitron for those terms 😎).

…Congratulations, you understand the basics of body defenses! Skin/mucous membranes = walls&moats, macrophages etc = roaming patrols, immune system = army.

& finally, vaccination = training the army to fight beforehand rather than hoping for the best when invaders come.

Many of them got it.😎
3/3

…and hope the invaders don’t destroy the city while your army learns to fight? Or would it be better to train the army to understand & counter the invaders’ tactics so they could be defeated quickly with minimal damage to the city?

EVERYONE preferred the latter.

Then, I’d tell them… 2/

I used to teach students a lesson about fantasy city defense: physical barriers like walls & moats, roaming patrols in the city to seek out infiltrators, having an army to fight to defend the city, etc. Then I’d ask, is it better for the army to first learn to fight invaders when they invade… 1/

No, love, that's not how this works.

You can't say, 'I support trans people' and then take a big ol' bag of monies from the person who's sole mission is to bully, malign, discredit, harrass and damage them.

If you truly support trans people, you walk the fuck away.

Pete Buttigieg Doubles Down on Comments About the “Fairness” of Trans People in Sports “I think in order to bring people together on this, we also have to take everyone seriously."

Yeah, I'm never voting for Buttigieg even if he's the nominee. This is a bright line for me. You cave on trans issues and lend credence to bigots, it's over. I'm not letting the Dems go down the path of Labour.

Summer Night✨💫 #Splatoon3 #Splatoonfanart #Callie #Marie

Not gonna lie, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social makes me want to move to NYC. I really hope he wins and is able to do right by the people of NYC.

And if an opportunity arises, maybe I’ll have a chance to become one.

And I’ll always throw out a PUP the Band recommendation. Canadian indie punk rock. 😎👍🏼

If you want to try out some Norwegian rock (though they sing in English), check out the band “Sløtface”. Search YouTube for their song “Pitted” for a good place to start.

For some British indie punk, search for Luke Westaway and his songs “Model Ships” and “Meet Me at Velma’s Grave”.

Posting this here too hehe

Hey George!

Shut up, Bob.

Passed without a trace. 😎👍🏼

Remember friends, always do your best to leave no sign that you were there. Try to leave natural spaces (or any spaces, really) as good as if not better than you found them. 🥰🚵🏼‍♂️👍🏼

Let it sit over night. In the morning, give it some gentle swirls to remove grinds from the cap. Open it up, put the press in, & press. Now you have delicious cold brew, & your morning #coffee is ready without needing to boil water. 2/2

Helpful tip for the #coffee loving bicycle traveler, especially those who camp a lot: get a travel French Press. I have this one made by Stanley. In the evening, put in ground coffee & fill with cold water. Do NOT put the press in. Seal it and shake it up. 1/2

My home for the night under a copse of birch trees. Fear not, friends. Not only is “Pass Without a Trace” my favorite DnD spell, it is my way of life. Everything will come out with me, & all that will remain is a flattened bit of grass. 😎👍🏼

Hello Sheyenne National Grassland.

Gotta check out and take advantage of our remaining public natural spaces before they get sold off to further enrich the oligarchs.

It sure is pretty out here! 😍🚵🏼‍♂️👍🏼

Goodbye Minnesota, Hello North Dakota.

Would have taken a selfie when I crossed the border by Abercrombie, but it’s been a rainy miserable morning. 😓🚵🏼‍♂️

Make the dip a 5:4:3 ratio of soy sauce : nihonshu (Japanese sake) : brown sugar, and it could be “La Brea Tare Dip” 🤔
