This is a neat little mystery game, although the fact that I was years ago spoiled on the twist meant it probably didn't have the same effect on me as people who played it when it came out.

Sorry, kid, the government cancelled research into a cure for your disease. The man who swims in sewage and snorts cocaine in public restrooms said it's bad for you. Besides, there's no money now that we're locking up your friend's parents and the guys who mowed our lawn.

Like I've said before, "Vote Blue No Matter Who" has the caveat, expressed sotto voce: "unless they're a leftist."

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees.
This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

This is the key point - it's not about Moderna's flu vaccine, it's about sending a signal to the rest of the industry that vaccine development isn't viable in the US. It's all part of the larger anti-vaccine agenda.
FDA's decision not to accept Moderna's flu vaccine filing has sent shock waves through pharma. "When there’s uncertainty about the path to approval & the reliability of the process, that really has pretty serious consequences,” one player told @jasonmast.bsky.social. www.statnews.com/2026/02/12/f...
FDA’s rejection of Moderna threatens to stifle broader vaccine industry
Experts say the FDA "moved the goalposts" on Moderna, creating "a destructive precedent that will undermine the future of vaccine development" in the U.S.

No, (at least) 38 people are dead because you rubber-stamped a racist kidnapping squad with a budget that eclipses most nations' militaries and no oversight whatsoever

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.

Every time somebody from the admin talks about how ICE is "just enforcing the law", think about scenes like this or Renee Good's murder. Think how many people they endangered (and possibly injured or killed) to detain someone whose worst crime was most likely failure to fill out some paperwork.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
