Just your regular reminder that Donald Trump is an adjudicated rapist
Analysis | Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll
What the jury found Donald Trump did to E. Jean Carroll was in fact rape, as commonly understood, even if it didn't fit New York law's narrow definition, says Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.

Additional point: Clair Obscur's third act is a thematic loop about how delaying the inevitable isn't healthy. You may feel temporarily good, you might even feel like a God among ants, but all you're doing is becoming a rotting husk and running away from inevitability.
Seeing other narrative design people say that Clair Obscur had a bad 3rd act or bad ending(s)…I just can’t follow you there man. That shit ruled. Sorry. You break the combat wide fucking open and then get your choice of doing genocide or walking toward Omelas and saying “torturing that child rocks”

Wow. That tells you all you need to know. He wants to let Russia get away with this.

There should be no deal that doesn't include giving back all the land & returning all kidnapped kids.

In a just world it includes Putin's resignation & reparations paid to Ukraine.
REPORTER: What kind of concessions are the Russians going to have to make?

TRUMP: The big concession is they stop fighting and they don't take any more land

I like that my 1st Xbox One achievement is from Ryse: Son of Rome. That game deserved a bit better reception.

Over 350 hours of State of Decay 2 😅

33% of my gaming is turn based or RPG. Very on brand. That percentage is higher now.

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.

A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.

We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Apart from being obviously awful you can see from the flash of anger on his face that he is feeling *completely* out of control about this situation. Reminds me of the interview he bailed on in the ESPN 30 for 30, “Who Killed the USFL,” when he was confronted on his failures by a reporter
"Quiet! Quiet, Piggy."

I don't understand why this isn't the only story and why he isn't giving his resignation.

I mean, I do. But still.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.
