raskin's talk about MTG reminding me how lincoln chafee - remember him? - didn't just speak out against his party, he actually became a democrat. and the moment that happened, he lost all novelty, appeal, mystique, and the party moved on to trying to appeal to further right republicans. lmao

I fully believe that Cameron is not being metaphorical here, and that, when he spoke to Rodriguez about Alita 2, he plunged a dagger into Rodriguez' hand and clasped it to his own bloody palm, screaming in insane tongues all the while.
Never bet against Jim Cameron.

In 2028 I will vote for whoever will send Stephen Miller to The Hague.
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

That this is even remotely legal is an egregious failure of regulation of an industry that is clearly out of control.

Call your reps. Tell them that payment processors should be required to process any legal transaction.

So yes, this is a “beginning of the end” thing for me and simple stuff like, for example, having a bank account. Now is a good time to fight this issue and do so very publicly — it’s a matter of financial life or death for me

A mighty miracle worker behind some of my favorite CRPGs from ye olden days, titles that pushed the envelope in a lot of ways like Interplay's take on William Gibson's Neuromancer to being told to add a dragon to Dragon Wars a month before release when they couldn't call it Bard's Tale IV. Legend.

Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."
