it was always gonna take all of us
Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

The text of this reporting on several Dem representatives publicly feeling out another govt shutdown to halt Noem and the DHS. @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social being cowards as usual. This is something real we can pressure our reps to do.

Remember like two days ago when that Hilton branch in Minnesota canceled ICE's reservation and the Hilton company punished them for it?
Boy I think maybe Hilton should be informed about what happened today.

This is what the moment requires.
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

I did call my reps again after the last thing and tried in my most civil tone to ask "How many summery executions will it take for you to denounce ICE and call for is dissolution. Is there a minimum? What is the deductible # of executions before you take action?"

Dictionary of the Oldest Written Language–It Took 90 Years to Complete, and It’s Now Free Online
It took 90 years to complete. But, in 2011, scholars at the University of Chicago finally published a 21-volume dictionary of Akkadian, the language used in ancient Mesopotamia.

This wintery scene of Imado Bridge and Matsuchi Hill is by Japanese print designer Utagawa Hiroshige II.
Hiroshige II was one of the most successful students of the great print artist Hiroshige I. He continued the landscape style pioneered by his master, creating many series of landscape prints.

Jon here is on the Board of Supervisors here in Johnson County. He caught a fucking boatload of shit after refusing to put flags at half mast after a certain assassination last year. Recommend y'all read his thread about these loons.

I'm going to take a moment to circle back to the C Kirk imbroglio. I felt it was a line that needed to be drawn and vigorously defended. Vocally and forcefully.
But at a cost. I paid the toll because I have said and believe if my privilege is a bank account, I want it overdrawn when I go.

We underestimate how impactful harassment and threats of violence are on politicians. Clear, large uptick in the number of major incumbent politicians not running/retiring specifically due to harassments and threats of violence. The harassers are like 0.1% of the population but hugely impactful.

Nobody talks about the more mundane parts of game dev.
For example, this morning I'm tweaking how often the sheep bleat to find the right balance between "these sheep feel alive" and "this is incredibly annoying."
And what if the player hoards sheep??
