A gerbil in a Stetson above mountains

TFW you try to write 1000 words but you fail, so you turn into a hat-wearing rodent, and project yourself, with great sadness, above the mountains (even if there are no mountains near you).

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

Representative Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat of New York, the House minority leader, said in a statement that Iran was a β€œbad actor” that must be β€œaggressively confronted” for its human rights violations and nuclear ambitions, among other things. But he condemned Mr. Tump for failing to seek congressional approval for the strikes. The Trump administration, he wrote, must explain its rationale and justification for the strikes, define the national security objective and β€œarticulate a plan to avoid another costly, prolonged military quagmire in the Middle East.”

This is unacceptable from democratic leadership in Congress. They should be screaming NO WAR, not merely raising procedural objections. Cowardly, politically foolish failure to meet the moment.

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying β€œthis doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to β€œtrans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

We are a few thousand subscribers away from being a bigger print newspaper than the Washington Post.

Weird coincidence, I also saw it recently when someone streamed it. I thought it had some interesting moments, the thing with the ashes was cool, but that's about all the praise I have for it.

Again, I cannot emphasize enough: do not go to the US even if you're privileged enough to have never been scared or worried of a border crossing in you're life. Do not go ESPECIALLY for something as optional & outrageously expensive as GDC.
