Playing my way through #StarFox Assault for the first time. It’s not terrible, but all I keep thinking during the many non-flying parts is “I’d rather be playing Star Fox 64.”

Chapter 2 in my #soloRPG narrative “Into the Dungeon.” This is probably some of the most fun I’ve had with writing in awhile.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

We’ll have to wait for them to actually be released, but I am deeply DEEPLY skeptical that we’re going to receive anything other than an edited version of the #Epstein files. The 180 Trump did after spending months fighting to keep them hidden feels way too convenient.

And Justice for All has always been my least favorite classic #Metallica album. The lack of bass, the overly long songs… it’s just not my fave. The current state of the world has me appreciating it more. #heavymetal #music

Random bit of #DND #miniatures griping. It is actually hard to find an affordable “big” giant spider for #ttrpg use, at least in my experience. Most of the “giant” spider minis are too small to look intimidating on a table.

"How could Dems cave like this after last Tuesday's victory?" But it wasn't a victory for Schumer. His candidate -- the Trump-supported one -- lost. The jubilation and hope folks feel about Mamdani? Chuck feels the opposite. To sum up: he sucks.

I’ve already left messages with my Senators (Sanders & Welch) urging to not vote for anything that doesn’t include a renewal of ACA subsidies. I’ll call again tomorrow, too.
What was the point of this if they were just going to cave? Why fight at all if they weren’t going to follow through?

Democrats just ran the table, winning the marquee races -- NJ and VA sweeps, NYC mayor, CA prop, PA Supreme Court -- and lower-profile races in red and purple states across the nation.
If the media you're reading or watching paints this as anything but a massive win, stop reading or watching them.

To be crystal clear: if the Dems racking up wins today had taken the breathless advice of opinion columnists and thrown immigrants and trans people to the wolves, they would have lost today. They won because they didn’t.

Buckling now would make this entire painful endeavor worthless -- pain for pain's sake, without value, without resolution. So if one of these senators is yours, yell at them not to buckle.
Asked how optimistic he was of reaching a deal this week, Ossoff, who voted earlier this month to pay essential federal workers during the shutdown, said, “We need a resolution that does right by our constituents.”

DO. NOOTTTTTTT. FUCKING. CAVE!!!!
Don’t you fucking do it!!
If they want government open, THEY have to bend and come to us, and not with some bullshit deal that lasts just until they get reelected.
We have already suffered. DO NOT make it
