I write about the semiconductor industry for CRN from the lovely state of Maine. But I post here about a lot of other things, like video games, dad stuff, retro PCs, politics, music and TV shows.

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

Oh, so the Democrats who voted to reopen the government because the MAGA fascists said they would get a vote on ACA subsidies got played.

Wow, that is so surprising, who could have seen that happen?
NEW: Hopes fade in Congress for a health care deal before premiums soar in January

Two weeks before recess, they're nowhere close.

Senate to vote on a bill of Dems' choosing; expected to fail.

Enhanced ACA funds set to expire, as many Republicans want.

Billions of dollars in tax credits under the Affordable Care Act are poised to expire at the end of the year. Lawmakers in both parties say they're nowhere close to a deal to renew them.

I think it's worth pointing out that very few video-game companies are as transparent as Shovel Knight maker Yacht Club Games, and I appreciate that the studio was so candid about their story and why their next game, Mina the Hollower, has taken so long

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

The first strike was also murder. You can’t just up and kill civilians on the high seas and then claim you were at war with them.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?

Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.
