Finally caught up on crossposting these, aiieeeee. The "tertiary" here mostly refers to the recombinations of 3 different digit states to reach 8, as the combinations are ordered in a way that feels mechanically intuitive to an avian and not by typical base-overflow rules.

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

A togglable "I'm an adult with kids and a job" feature that assumes you only get to play once a week, and dumps a summary of what you were last doing/your current objectives in a corner tooltip on loading a save.

I think tonight shows why “moderate to win elections” is a real risk

the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus don’t fight

but it’s not a coincidence that basically everyone in the “don’t fight” camp is a moderate

He came out of the gate in the negatives with me, having been introduced as "white South African emerald mine scion"

You can't help the family you're born into, but some histories will require VOCIFEROUS and CONSTANT condemnation on your part before I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
I guess I'm a Silver Star Hater as the vibes of his sycophants always threw me but I didn't enter full haterdom until the Thai cave fallout...

Tonight on the Groove Pit, I get way into the energy drain powers used by various undead monsters in D&D, and explore different ways to model them mechanically. And I got to use an animated GIF from The Dark Crystal! groovepit.neocities.org

Men embracing reading is the absolute worst thing to happen to manosphere influencers and hate groups. They don't know how to pivot to take advantage of that. It's not like Andrew Tate is going to be able to lead a YouTube discussion on Watchmen.

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Going to repeat this every time I see the GOP "plan":

I have kidney failure. I require dialysis to live. Three times a week every single week. It costs $1000 per treatment.

So either they need to give me a MINIMUM of $156,000 a year...or I'm going to die.
I was at an event yesterday where Rand Paul spoke via video and talked about how great it was to send ACA money "directly to the people" so that they could work collectively to get better deals on health care.

If Wall Street threatens Mamdani-style reforms with a capital strike, organized labor can fight back—history shows how banks killed NYC’s progressive plans in 1975, so unions must prepare to counter similar opposition now.
If Capital Strikes Against Mamdani, Organized Worker Power Can Strike Back
Let’s study how Wall Street sank Mamdani-style municipal plans back in 1975 — and get prepared for a similar fight.

I'm not 22 years old, anymore. I don't reply to dumb shit on the the internet with "kill yourself."

But that doesn't mean I'm not tempted.

Some more #LearningGodot:

- Locked door that opens with a key
- Tracker that knows when every enemy in a room has been defeated, and drops an item after
- Boomerang, complete with SFX, hurtbox, and item retrieval feature
- Subtle item magnet, so pickup retrieval doesn't need to be pixel-perfect
