I don't think I've actually done an introduction post yet, so here it is. I'm a nerdy British immigrant, living in Bavaria with my equally nerdy Bavarian wife. I have a love for one hit wonder bands, sci-fi, actual science, and virtual photography in video games. I love everyone except fascists!

Am I understanding that Robert Kraft, whose hobby is paying for sex with sex trafficked victims, is upset with Macklemore for opposing genocide? And the NFL chose to listen to Kraft?

Love it when games have a dialog log (?) that lets you reread what has been said!
✅ I can catch up with the plot if I was distracted or zoned out during a cutscene
✅ I can revisit, appreciate and savour some really well-written scripts
... without reloading a save!
More games should have that.

You'd think the fact that the son of the President of the "party of family values" 2nd marriage is to the daughter of Epstein's banker and it was funded by a Rusisan oligarch involved in the mass kidnap of Ukrainian kids during a KGB agent's illegal war
Would be bigger news..

The weird contrast between the obvious hours of talent put into that animation, and then forgetting to have any cereal in the bowl
Mystique’s ability to dispel cereal is one of her more obscure powers. This Mysteerios scene is a great nod to the original X-Men lore.

Clarity Act has just surpassed 41 NOs in the cloture vote; it will not advance to a full vote. The bill is essentially dead in the water under this Congress.

I finally sat down and wrote an email to the Talarico campaign. Doing nothing felt untenable. I encourage other decent Texans to communicate their disappointment. If this can help you get started, feel free to use anything that works for you

Fuck yes Macklemore. Beautiful statement.
Also, aside about him as a person, a friend used to work at a restaurant in Seattle he used to go to often. Apparently he was an extremely generous tipper. So just a good fucking guy all around.

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran.
Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.
