Pulled out of the oven precisely at 4:20 by the looks of it.

Anyone who shows up for this travesty is knowingly choosing to act as a prop for authoritarian kabuki because they’re too cowardly or amoral to pass up vapid schmoozing and free drinks. They deserve your contempt, and possibly a few pieces of rotting produce.

I'm wondering if this comes from a confusion about who the service secretaries are (civilian, political, yes?). Maybe confusing them with the Joint Chiefs? I'll admit that I get kind of fuzzy about who reports to whom between the two.

Recently did a playthrough and... I liked it! The control scheme was clunky but better than I thought it might be for a Koei game. Would like to try the SNES mouse at some point.

Oh I remember we thought it would be all RP in the Ultima Online pre-alpha. Then I got ganked.

Repeatedly.

She's solid.

Hahahaha <ow> Hah <ow>

C.D.C. Cancels Publication of Study Showing Benefits of Covid Vaccines

Jay Bhattacharya pulls a study because he doesn’t like the conclusions. I cannot explain how bad this is and how it reeks of the stench of ideological zealotry and has no basis in science. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

Detroit's Edvinsson lands one on Ryan Strome of the Ducks.

There is such a comeuppance that's going to happen. And I will laugh like I'm standing in the rink getting my face clocked by the economy. Cos, like, we're the ones that get hit in the end.

How about one of spinach puffs?

We used to have a couple of trees in the backyard back in OK. As long as the bagworms never got to them it was fun picking up hundreds.

But other than space telescopes what have the Roman's ever done for us?

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

Hmm, I wonder why…

You are always welcome at PAX. I've wanted to meet you guys for a long time and missed y'all when you were promoting the game.

Maybe there's a noncompetitive thing that could work to highlight artists and make new friends anyhow.

Honestly, reality show style competition has left me plenty sour. I still hold Mark Burnett responsible for bringing back That Man to prominence.

What I Learned About Billionaires at Jeff Bezos’s Private Retreat For the richest men on Earth, everything is free and nothing matters.

Final Fantasy Adventure.

It makes me wonder what nuts in California are going to look like. That is a catastrophe waiting to happen when we start having water wars.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "lmao" said Gandalf, "well it has."

On the bright side, the fight is a worthwhile one. I imagine other fights for the soul of the republic felt similarly sucky.

Did you read the new Atlantic article on billionaires? I think it's illuminating and Solomon is over there banging his head against the wall.

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

Pretty straightforward yeah.

Bartender AOC is badass AOC.

The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.

These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

Yeah you almost never get 70+ in free elections. And landslides are defined much more narrowly than you think. In Hungary, Magyr won with 53%. It's just that they get a 2/3 majority because of the way Orban had split things up.

You will TAKE your ProDOS on your Apple II, mister, and you will LIKE it.

Couple that with the truism that 10-15% of Americans are simply insane (Ask any ER staff), well.

People complain about the remaining supporters but popular support doesn't bottom out at the snap of one's fingers. Even in the landslide that brought FDR to power, only 57% voted for him against Hoover. And that was real economic crisis.

A friend said the flu vaccine was optimal for him. Marine/Army IIRC.
