Magdalena's Murderous Crown
This epic plate armor of item level 559 goes in the "Head" slot. It is looted from Ordos. Added in World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria. Always up to date.

There's something special about seeing this item appear in a MoP database once again! :D

I'm going in for a surgery this week, and I'll be on intermittent leave for the two weeks after. Unfortunately, CA Short-term Disability Insurance doesn't pay as well as my own paycheck, so that means that my income will be reduced over the next couple of weeks.

I've been leading (well starting, not like there's much leadership required) Mythic raids for both of my characters on Legion Remix for the past few weeks.
The only transgression for which I kick? Pulling the first boss of an instance before everyone's zoned in.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

For friends presently working at Blizzard: An acquaintance is considering working for the company and would like to chat with current employees to get a feel for internal culture, personal experiences, etc.
If you'd be willing to speak with them, please let me know.

Opinion: Gearing for alt characters -- specifically, reaching the maximum ilvl cap of 740 -- ought to speed up in Legion Remix.
I'd opine that this should primarily happen through higher item level caps when gear upgrades drop (i.e., +12-15 ilvls rather than the +6 range) and more Artifactum Sand.

I'm not loving the Havoc Demon Hunter build currently recommended for Legion Remix. Given how quickly almost everything (including Mythic bosses) falls over, it feels as if there are too many "setup" cooldowns to press going into a pull.
Maybe it'll feel better at higher Versatility?

Dick Cheney's very name is near universally reviled here.
It is associated with almost every single human rights abuse, torture program, and black site that followed the US's "War on Terror" across Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, and beyond under the Bush administration.
So, sincerely: Rot in hell.

Everything Donald Trump is doing to Americans and in America was pioneered by Dick Cheney on foreigners and abroad. He threw the imperial boomerang
Neo-conservativism presaged Trumpian neo-fascism in several respects. It saw violence as a positive policy option not a defensive last resort. It held laws, norms and the lives of non-white people in total contempt. And many, many centrists either cringed in deference to it or actively collaborated.

At this point it's been all but confirmed that L'ura is the "true" final boss of the first tier of Midnight (assuming you count March on Quel'Danas as part of the first tier).
Lore-wise, her ability to "break free" of Alleria raises a number of pretty big questions.

So at this point I, sitting halfway across the world and not having resided in the United States for over a decade, have "randomly" had 15+ articles suggested to me about why Zohran Mamdani being elected mayor of NYC would, apparently, be nothing short of apocalyptic.
The desperation is comical.

It's been a bittersweet day.
I got to spend it with my boyfriend and affirm how grateful I am for us being able to spend as much time together as we have.
Unfortunately, his recent promotion (which I'm still very happy for him for getting) means that he'll be here much less frequently from now on.

Honestly, one of the biggest plusses to come out of Shadowlands being retconned (i.e., established that it's not the true afterlife) is that it also means characters like Arthas, Garrosh, and Ursoc aren't "extra dead", and that there's some possibility of seeing them again down the line.
