Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.

Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

This is what being principled calls for - sacrifice.

If you won't make a sacrifice for a principle, it's not a principle, it's an option

This has gotten very little coverage in the US, but on Monday US military contractors or troops or some other paramilitary group placed signs on a beach in Mexico, claiming it as US territory. (The contested location is close to the SpaceX base outside Brownsville)

Let's make this clear: wherever Starbucks is, we’ll be there too until we win a fair contract and an end to union busting.

Our ULP strike is just getting started. And we'll keep calling on allies to say #NoContractNoCoffee with us!

Phoenix Point is the closest to do it again, but it is maybe a little too shiny. As most new things seem to be.
I have spent a lot of time thinking about this and have 2 theories

1) xcom is magic when you're out of options, spiralling out of control, and you barely scrape your squad out of the fire through sheer random luck only to land in an even bigger fire.

I think most tactics games try to give-
Kind of wonder why a lot of XCOM-like games don't really have 'it'. Lamplighter's League was very much not it.
