I've been playing Fallout '76 for a few hours now and my review is: 🎵Country roads...take me home! To the place I belong: West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home country roads. 🎵

Sitting down for like the fourth time today saying "Okay, time to start doing Work" and instead scrolling for news out of Minnesota.

Okay, since I’m in a mood, do you know what is annoying mild *annoyance* about all this, rather than a gut-wrenching crisis?
I’m not a Christian but my sense of fairness keeps requiring me to defend the church because people keep posting shit about “Why aren’t Christians speaking up?!”

Other folks have already noted much of this, but I think the MAGA 'theory of victory' here is:
1) DHS provocations trigger a riot or attack on agents which
2) Leads to widespread civil unrest in many 'blue' cities so that
3) Trump can invoke the insurrection act and send in the troops...

Curious if anyone has a plausible theory of victory for the administration if it were to invoke the Insurrection Act.
How does the administration "win" in such a scenario?
Best I can tell, it is magical thinking by a certain somebody at the White House, but maybe I'm missing something.

The thing about knowing writers is when they say "I finished my book!" you have to clarify: "Reading or writing?"

If you’re struggling, I’m copy pasting what a trauma therapist friend suggested here:
“Highly recommend dunking your face in a bowl of cold water, drinking some water to help your body flush the adrenaline and finding something to smell or touch for grounding and avoiding dissociation”

So, are ICE the ONLY murderers in the Twin Cities so far this year, or just the ones with the highest body counts?

I saw a protestor carrying a "Trump Out; 🚫ICE" sign just at the town square today.
I'm in a small town in Central Massachusetts. Nowhere near the action.
My normie family sent photos of themselves marching in outstate MN carrying a Bible verse. (Lev 19:35 I think?)
People are angry.

Just watched 8 episodes of a promising weird comedy (because I'm a sucker for Stephanie Hsu) only to find that it was canceled after those 8 episodes.

I think it's very fitting that the Revolutionary HQ of Minneapolis is a sex shop (that DOES NOT have a glory hole) and Revolutionary HQ of Saint Paul is a toy store where you can get Settlers of Catan.

If you need a little idealistic escapism right now with a fantasy of a President and White House who actually give a shit, the West Wing is on Netflix at the moment.
I can't imagine why I'd find that so appealing right now.

Wait Wait Don't Tell me dropping an episode where the three call-in contestants are a person from Boston, one from Minneapolis, and one with a huge board game collection, and somehow none of them are me?

Please, never be shy telling an author you loved their books.

The poet once said
Time is short and here's the damn thing about it:
You're gonna die; you're gonna die for sure.
Now you can learn to live with love or without it,
But there ain't no cure.
And man, he was right. He was right.

I have met so many Dans, and female Dans, and they always blow my mind
![[Scene is a SCIENCE RESEARCH FACILITY where two white coated scientists are standing at a desk of instruments and controls in front of a one way mirroe, looking at a mocked-up drinks party scene in the next room. In that room is a man named Dan and a woman, holding glasses of wine and apparently having a conversation. Dan, however, has a hi tech helmet strapped to his head, with wires extruding from it and leading to the instruments next door. Dan when we see him close up has a slightly dull expression and is droning on, while the lady listens, smiling politely].
[Scientists looking through the glass]
SCIENTIST 1:
And is this one of your patients?
SCIENTIST 2:
Yes
SCIENTIST 1:
This is Dan.
Dan was born completely incapable of asking people about themselves at parties.
DAN [close up, droning on while the woman listens]:
...So yeah 1 like implement creative solutions... and I work with clients to design a... and I'm writing a novel about like this guy...
SCIENTIST 1 [Looking at a screen showing Dan's brain with a hole in the middle]:
As you can see, despite talking about himself for the past two hours, the part of the brain which gives a toss about other people's lives shows no activity at all.
SCIENTIST 1 [bending over a microphone on the desk and pressing the intercom button]:
Dan...
Ask the lady... what her job is.
[Dan pauses.]
[Dan continues to pause]
DAN:
What's your job.
LADY [smiling humbly]:
Oh, I'm a murderer?
Well, contract killer, you know, haha...
[Show dan, silent]
[Show lady, smiling, waiting for a response]
[Show dan, still silent]
[Show Dan, slowly opening his mouth to speak
DAN:
And-
[But Dan falls silent again]
[Show Lady looking slightly desperate now, silently willing him to continue]
[Still nothing from Dan. But then...]
DAN:
...And yeah part of my job is I coordinate media content to across platforms to create -
SCIENTIST 1:
Fascinating
SCIENTIST 2:
Isn't it

There's some game on Steam that keeps pushing ads across my YouTube feed (I'm trying to watch Legal Eagle's dissection of the murder of Ms. Good), and the trailers make the game look extremely, extremely awful, ugly, badly acted, and the logo is illegible so I don't know what it's called.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)
