Some Turkish goth rock (in Turkish!), some Swedish synthpop (in Swedish!), and some breezy synthpop out of rural Oregon (and some witch house for good measure).

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.

Just saw a convoy of trucks carrying a bunch of ICE roll through the Sellwood neighborhood in SE Portland, my guess is they're headed across the bridge to the ICE facility

Have we really become so woke that we’re no longer comfortable with ICE shooting unarmed women and yelling “fuck you bitch” as they die?

Since Zohran Mamdani took office, the US has conducted an illegal invasion of Venezuela, bellicosely threatened to do the same in Greenland, and launched proceedings against Sen. Mark Kelly for exercising his First Amendment rights. At what point does the Left admit it made a grievous mistake?

I hired an army of tax preparers to add up my gaming costs for 2025:
$233 on 18 games
$12 on three DLC
$88.50 games as gifts
$645 in hardware
That's a significant increase from last year, but I also had a stable job for the first time in a while.

Started Alan Wake 2 and almost immediately had to look at a walkthrough as I could not figure out how to place a piece of evidence onto the board. Turns out I had to place it in an *exact* pixel perfect spot, even just a millimeter off and it wouldn't accept. Such a stupid thing to get stuck on.

Aw damn, discovering you can't have three Switches linked.
I wanted to have the original Switch set up for the kids, then Switch 2 on the main TV, and then my Lite that I take with me to work, but discovering you can only share virtual carts between two consoles. Harrumph.
