I live in a place with basically NO Mexican food.

If you can call that living.

And we'll still hear "moderates" cry about how mean it is to call this administration fascist.

Either that or he'll get shitfaced and try to fight himself.

Sounds like she shouldn't have gotten divorced three times if she gave a fuck what Jesus said.

But the prosperity gospel types know they're scammers, so she'll laugh all the way to the bank.

I think it's pretty naïve to think that oligarchs are benevolent, and at least we have a say on how government money gets spent.

What we have now is billionaires rigging the system in their favor; like I said, that kind of wealth disparity is inherently destabilizing to society, and they accumulated it through exploitation.

Finally, if the people could spend the money better than the government, why do we have taxes at all? It's because there are things that we need to address as a society instead of relying on charity that may or may not come.

The change handed out by billionaires as philanthropy is PR to keep them from paying their fair share in taxes. Calling them a parasite class is completely accurate— they couldn't have earned that much wealth without exploiting both the laborers who created it and the society that their extreme horde inherently destabilizes. If they paid their fair share in taxes, then their donations would be appreciated.

Which is why I said the media is lying for the Trump administration: this is the lie that the administration told, and the media repeats it for them.

The fact is that they didn't give a fuck if they could deport him or not.

Saying he was "mistakenly deported" makes it sound like they cared one bit. There was no error; the judge issued an order asking for any evidence of that, and he got crickets back.

Then it seems that they should have left out "mistakenly" if they only report verifiable things that they can prove, including motives.

The media needs to not treat this as normal or blundering. MAGA know what they are doing: making this country intolerable to immigrants.

This isn't a purity test, it's criticism. That's a perfectly fine thing to do.

The wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration, was forced to move to a safe house with her children, after the government posted their home address to social media.

I really wish the media would stop lying for the Trump administration. It wasn't a mistake, they deported him intentionally.

He only means his own.

I bet he could cheer himself up with one of those brain chips he's trying to get going.

 

[...] fans began throwing the uncollected disco LPs and singles from the stands. Tigers designated hitter Rusty Staub remembered that the records would slice through the air, and land sticking out of the ground. He urged teammates to wear batting helmets when playing their positions, "It wasn't just one, it was many. Oh, God almighty, I've never seen anything so dangerous in my life." Attendees also threw firecrackers, empty liquor bottles, and lighters onto the field. The game was stopped several times because of the rain of foreign objects.

 

The Entangled Worlds mod is so well done that once you're in the game it feels like the engine was designed to support multiplayer.

One interesting aspect is that when one of the players dies they turn into an enemy with all of the same inventory; the other players must kill them to revive.

Even if you never got into Noita, it's a lot of fun to play it with friends.

 

I'd dice a russet up fairly small, then pan fry it in avocado oil. Add rosemary, salt and pepper. Remove and cover, then fry an egg in the leftover oil. Shread cheese on top and serve with salsa.

I'm a fan of braunschweiger on butter crackers. Top-tier snack food.

 

I'm considering trying it when I'm car camping to save some cooler space. Is there a recipe you've used where it turned out well? Any best practices?

I'm thinking a stew would be a good option, leaving it to soak in the broth for a good long time.

 

My favorite overall is probably Bridge Crew, because there's nothing better than cruising around in the OG NCC-1701 Enterprise with your pals.

I also liked Elite Force when it came out, because it was crazy to see the 3D Trek environments even though they're unimpressive by today's standards. It even got me to watch Voyager.

 
 

I loved lightgun games on the old systems, and I think the Sega Saturn's Stunner was the best hardware of the lot. The obsolescence of CRTs pretty much killed the tech, but the gameplay style has made a bit of a resurgence a couple times with the advent of the Wii and VR.

 

The shink ray from Duke Nukem 3D was a delight to use in deathmatches. Shrink your opponent and squish 'em!
