We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it

In the middle of a government shutdown—while millions of Americans face down dramatic increases in their health care premiums—the Senate just voted to send another $900 BILLION to our already bloated pentagon budget. Disgusting.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Notable points in Judge Perry's remarks in Illinois v Trump National Guard case.⤵️

Judge:
1. Federalized deployment of National Guard not quelling civil unrest. Instead, it is "likely to lead to civil unrest."

2. State and local community policing not well geared for out of state Guards.

In the late 1980s, there was an anti-authoritarian protest movement in Poland called The Orange Alternative where people would wear "dwarf hats," and it made arresting them look ridiculous

Scientists recently found two evolutionarily distinct mushrooms converged to produce the same psychedelic molecule—psilocybin.

The “surprising” results underscore the significance of the hallucinogen but leave questions about its ultimate purpose.

Doesn't help atm ... but, one day, history books will praise those who've been indicted by the US's dictator-wannabe.

All I know is, I will absolutely crawl over shards of glass to vote in the midterms.

The prosecutor put in office after the president who wants vengeance against his enemies told his AG that a WH lawyer was the person for the job — despite no prosecution experience — successfully sought an indictment against one of the named enemies, the second such indictment.

I don't disagree from a big-picture perspective ... I just think it's both in this instance. It's govt's job to reign them in and the GOP is determined not to do that, unfortunately. And, in this, specific instance, the GOP took direct action to enable them.
