Australian, family man, gamer, atheist, leftist, not necessarily in that order. Hate and greed are bad, so who’s feeding them to you?

With Jennifer Lawrence going silent politically, this will at least be an opportunity for powerful new images of defiance by young people.
Which is why there will be onerous rules and threats upon the contestants and everyone else involved. Protect the loud and the silent alike.

So are they trying to implicitly conflate “victims” with “people who stand to be harmed by the information”? Because the latter includes perpetrators.

Just by raising the possibility of invalidating Biden’s pardons, even if he doesn’t follow through, Trump has broken the illusion of legal invulnerability he’s tried to sell to his acolytes. The only way they’re safe now is if the current DOJ becomes the perpetual DOJ because democracy falls.

What I really want is a hand-drawn game, à la Rogue Legacy 2 or Hollow Knight, that finally realises the classic manual art style. The question is how much of that was from Akira Kitamura, and whether they’d need Keiji Inafune back.

The consistency (sameness) of the series doesn’t bother me at this point. What does worry me is that the gameplay shots from Dual Override look identical to Mega Man 11 from 7 years ago. Not much excuse for this when you’re no longer working on the NES for 6 games. Though it’s early days yet.

Andrew’s station was gradually lowered by the Queen and her “firm”, and finally by the King and his.
The fascists Trump answers to are still motivated to protect him. Like Andrew, acknowledging Trump’s crimes would embarrass them all. Unlike Andrew, among them are many direct partners in crime.

White Christians made imprecatory prayer a big thing during Obama’s presidency. While nothing “came of it”, it was certainly a novel way to voice discontent. Go ahead and pray for the day.

Cersei became queen and caused many deaths AFTER that happened. When justice comes it can’t just feel satisfying, it must serve to prevent further calamity. But yeah, some humiliation wouldn’t go astray.
