Making a little more progress on some of the necessities for #RogueRobotRavager, like enemy drops and chips that modify shot behavior beyond just stats. Have a peek at Scraps (the in-game currency, literal metal scraps dropped by Witherbots) and the Spiral Shot chip! #gamedev #megamanlegends

The House votes 427-1 to approve a measure that would require the Justice Department to release the Epstein files.
House votes to approve releasing the Epstein files by a near unanimous margin
The measure would compel the DOJ to release files regarding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It now goes to the Senate, where some lawmakers want extra guardrails around what can be released.

Professorn trakasseras av oljelobbyn: ”Försöker fota våra telefoner”
Mängder av lobbyister från fossilindustrin deltar på COP30 i Brasilien, visar en ny kartläggning från organisationen Kick The Polluters Out. Samtidigt konstaterar två FN-rapporter att trycket är hårt från industrin mot klimat- och miljöforskare. – Det är en väldigt hotfull miljö att befinna sig i, säger Bethanie Carney Almroth, professor i ekotoxikologi.

I can't even fathom what January will look like, except probably very bad for the Trump regime.
Absent a major black swan event, I don't see a path to power consolidation for them at this point.
For a number of reasons, not just Epstein.

The timetable evidently has been accelerated.
What's your new predication for when we get to January?
I'll just throw a random one out there: They do release the Epstein files but only after Trump had time to preemptively pardon himself and he tells his base he had to cause it was a Dem smear job.
