The best feeling is being completely tuned in and topping the dps list in current content lol. Also post-SHB when I was basically DRK main and knew every mechanic and my rotation like the back of my hand. Then I started playing other games besides just xiv lmao
#wolqotd What are your favorite moments of PLAYING the game? Not story moments, but moments of YOU at the screen and keyboard/controller.

Call it what it is… Digital book burning.
"The Mississippi Library Commission ordered the deletion of two research collections that might violate state law, a memo obtained by Mississippi Today shows.

"One of the now deleted collections focused on 'race relations' and the other on 'gender studies'...”

Gentle reminder that 5 calls is great and lets you connect right to your senator with a pre-made script for you to read from. If you call after hours you can leave a voice mail if you are too socially anxious to talk to a person.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote.

We're calling on the Senate to reject this legislation.

On May 10, 1933, Nazis burned the library of The Institute for Sexual Science.

The Institute was founded by Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld. Its community clinic pioneered healthcare for queer, trans, & intersex people.

The Institute was targeted & attacked as part of a Nazi government censorship program.

Proud of Cory for holding the floor for 23 hours and counting calling out Trump’s destabilizing policies, including his reckless new taxes. I was glad to join Cory on the floor and look forward to forcing a vote tomorrow on my legislation to challenge Trump’s trade war with Canada.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

You can probably trace this back to the Nixon pardon, the post-2008 "Too big to jail" decline in white collar prosecutions, and of course more recently the half hearted Trump prosecution. These are fundamentally political, not legal problems
One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.
Dereliction of responsibility by the court. It is so flagrantly illegal. www.huffpost.com/entry/us-wis...

And, to be clear, it's almost certainly happening *because* the base has been screaming for action from elected Democrats.

This isn't "relax, they've got this." This is "keep yelling, it's working."
Btw, that means in the last 24 hours we've had:

-Cory Booker going for a record in holding the floor
-Ruben Gallego putting a hold on VA nominees over cuts to veterans care
-Adam Schiff putting a hold on Ed Martin's nomination for DC US attorney over... a lot

That's a genuinely good start.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Very important messaging guidance — colleagues:

Start saying DOGE is "stealing from you"
NEW with: @boldprogressives.org PCI:

Messaging that DOGE will "steal from you" to fund billionaire tax breaks makes Independents significantly less favorable of DOGE than messaging on benefit cuts alone.
