cannot emphasize enough how much better kagi is than any search engine on the market. the filters + tools are powerful. devs are very active too. bottom line, it’s a massive timesaver. i can’t imagine ever going back to google or duckduckgo. it’s better than *old google*, and by a lot

I'm only on Chapter 2, but I already love the vibes of #SouthOfMidnight. It reminds me of both Sanitarium and the American McGee's Alice games (some of my very favorites).

Q: Why do you think your supporters have been so interested in the Epstein story?

TRUMP: I don't understand it. He's dead for a long time. He was never a big factor in terms of life. I don't understand what the fascination is. The credible information has been given. It's pretty boring stuff.

Well, after some hours of play @harvey1966.bsky.social, you have a new fan of the game. I also wish I could find the art book at something less than 300+€ :-(
