The only video game I've ever played was Hong Kong Mahjong by Nine Dragons Software: the only computer version of the actual game I've ever seen, and played with Cantonese Old-Style rules. Not into horror at all because we actually live in an American Horror Story (Myrtle Snow still rules).

Trump's DOJ has been ordered to embark on a sweeping crackdown on "left-wing domestic terrorism." Civil liberties experts warn it could lead to a level of politicized FBI surveillance of Americans not seen since the era of J. Edgar Hoover and COINTELPRO.

Almost 550,000 American workers are over 80. It's one of the fastest-growing demographics in the workforce. Many were unable to save enough to retire, or had a health emergency, or had to care for adult children. Many barely get by.

Their very obvious claim is that it’s racist discrimination to *have a policy to address racial disparities* but it’s fine to have a system that simply creates massive racial disparities. The correction attempt is the outrage. Not the disparities. Because they are white supremacists.
