Uh oh.

Just found out that my computer and internet connection can run, somewhat decently, Resident Evil 2 Remake through Amazon's Luna game streaming service.

They've come a way since I first tried the service back in 2020.

The title screen for Resident Evil 2 Remake. The title is in front of a scene of Racoon City with rain falling. The Letters R and E in the title are red to emphasize the RE abbreviation for the series.

Leon Kennedy, with his gun brandished in front of the Racoon City Police Department. A light is illuminating the RPD sign above the double doors to the building. There are several bagged and wrapped bodies around the ground.

I'm genuinely terrified that if my health insurance through my employer goes up even only $100 per paycheck, that we wouldn't be able to afford it.

I guess that's the point. Terrorize so brazenly that everyone is afraid. This woman. Her terror was real. Her desperation. Her sorrow. She was being ripped from her family. Forced away. And we all stood there. I did nothing but film it and shout. And shake and cry.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.

I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.
