I’m so excited to be a sorcerer! Also I just realized there’s all this empty space in the secondary class wheel, so I guess there are other secret classes - no clue how I missed this on my first play through

holy hell, that's interesting and I'll tell you why: this is exactly the explanation the EPA gave me when I found their data omitted the number of Black people who lived within 1 mile of toxic sites, which made it look like white residents were most affected streetlightnews.org/epa-echo-data/

I’ll say also, and this is a small detail, but yesterday the doj sent a press release saying they, not a judge, dismissed a consent decree. The body of the release says it was the court that dismissed it, but this speaks to their perspective on what happened with this www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justi...

Today was kind of terrible and technically isn’t even over but the best part was before an interview I checked if Reggie wanted to come in and he didn’t and I was like, you’re going to be trapped out there forever, but he wasn’t bc he let himself in during my call. Wow!
