I thought NPR was the alleged "anti-American far-left" outlet, but they put this out. I read their stuff regularly to know that not to be true, but even then I found this to be a disappointing take on the events. There is more detail deeper in the article, but it feels a bit buried.

NPR Politics: Senators take first step toward reopening the government after historic shutdown.

The Senate voted late Sunday evening on a compromise that could reopen the government following the longest shutdown in history.

I suspected this dude on Growlr was AI and I was not let down

Missed this birdie putt yesterday and I wanted to cry, because I haven't had a birdie since I was like 16

I played Baku Baku Animal yesterday and I'm still emotionally processing it

terrible comic day. #boingart

A muscular blue figure grips a smaller figure. The smaller guy has spirals in his eyes as he gazes at the blue figure. "I need you to obey my every command. You respond only to me. Your mind is empty. Clear of all thoughts, impulses, doubts. All you can do is anticipate my next command."

The blue figure spins the small guy away from him. "'kay, now try."

They are at a driving range. The small guy hits a clean drive, with a "ping!"

Elated small guy says "Holy shit. My slice is gone. It's time for a new era?"

The smug blue figure says "What'd I tell ya? I had to get a little creative, but we got you out of your head one way or another."

#ITL2025 ends today, and I'm happy to say that I managed to push myself back into the top 500 last night, before it all ended.

I stopped playing as much by the end, but I think I can confidently say this was my most successful ITL. I submitted over 200 scores, and finally got my first quad.
