It’s the fucking East Wing all over again. Demolish it with zero notice, have an architect lined up, but be such an asshole the architect quits and you’re left with a massive pit

Trump Celebrates Maduro's Ca

Maria Abi-Habib
Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, put on a display of force and unity in a live address to the nation, sitting with powertul military officials and other key government leaders as she denounced the United States. As she introduced each figure on live television, they nodded toward her in a show of deference as she demanded that Maduro was the rightful president of Venezuela. The display of force and unity undermined President Trump's earlier comments that Washington would work with Rodríguez to run Venezuela.

"If there is one thing that the Venezuelan people and this country are clear about," Venezuela's interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, said in an address to the the nation, "it is that we will never again be slaves, that we will never again be a colony of any empire, whatever its nature."

Anyone who plans to profit from this illegal war must be stopped. And if they encouraged it, they must be prosecuted.

Congress must stop this war, impeach Trump, Hegseth, and Rubio, and pass legislation to prevent oil barons and other profiteers from making money from this outrageous act.

Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

I think a lot about this bit by Kazuya Niinou about how an RPG can be one thing on your screen and another thing in your brain

How to use your imagination

When your party stays at the Inn overnight, what do they eat?

If you ever catch yourself wondering that, then you know you've formed an attachment to your characters.

With Etrian Odyssey's characters, you only give them a name and a portrait, so no matter how you think of the character, it's technically just your imagination. But even in that case, without your imagination, the character is nothing.

For example, a landsknecht who uses an axe might eat his meat with his bare hands and no utensils, but one who wields a sword might prefer a knife and fork at dinner. You might think differently, but... If you can imagine small details like that, you might find that you enjoy this kind of RPG even more.

The essence is an RPG is using numbers to make calculated decisions, but if you invest those "numbers" with your own feelings, you can spice up the game a little. Think about this:

In your party of five, three characters are dead. Two of them are alive, but they only have a couple of HP left, and no TP. They're certain to die in their next turn, giving you a game over. Number-wise, those characters are useless, but how do you imagine they feel about that? What kind of people are those 2 characters who are about to die? Try to imagine things like that in the brief time before your game ends.

Are they a landsknecht and a ronin, who'll die facing the enemy and laughing? Is it a protector, ordering the weak medic to run with his last breath?

The game over screen looks the same every time, but in your imagination, it could play out very differently.

The game itself isn't that big of a thing; what you imagine for yourself is much more fun. We hope that the player uses this game as a tool, to create dramatic and fun situations in your own minds.

A screenshot from Final Fantasy 14 that notes: Upon proceeding, several cutscenes will play in sequence. It is recommended that you set aside sufficient time to view these scenes in their entirety.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
