I just rolled the credits on Hades 2.

Wow....just.....wow. I was sure E:33 was going to be my game of the year, hands down.

But damn, if Hades 2 didn't catch up fast. And, for me it's a tie. They are both incredible experiences that any gamer should play.

It is also a fascinating quirk that

Exactly right.

I *do* understand that it must be incredibly difficult to know how much pain people are in because of the shutdown. That people might be starving, losing homes all of it.

That's what the GOP banked on, Dems humanity. But it was still the wrong call.
Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.

Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.
So Democrats get:

1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays

2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail

3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts

Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

Some thoughts on the NYC race

The unfortunate reality is that in the post-Trump world we are so often called to focus on the sandal of the moment. Or take action in the moment.

It feels like we are focusing on the broader historical context less and less. That is understandable as things come at

Eliminating the penny is actually a good thing. Canada did it over a decade ago and it was fine.

BUT! Our government let people know ahead of time. Gave guidelines on how too make change and ensured people were informed.

As opposed to Trump's half-assed way of doing...anything.
Pennywise and clown foolish, this president.

That makes me very sad. I actually enjoyed The Acolyte and, yes Qimir was a huge part of that.

Also, holy crap does Manny Jacinto have *range* I had to look up that it was the same actor from The Good Place because he acts and sounds so different.

Give me more Qimir!

That is very very bad. But Doug's billionaire buddies will love it.
Proposed changes from the Ontario government would drastically reduce protection for tenants.

This is appalling and would put some folks in serious danger in this era of very low vacancy, skyrocketing rental rates, and rent decontrol.

Nearly 40% of Ottawa residents are renters.

The irony of of using a quote from a Disney show is great. Also, I'm sorry, but how cool is it that a governor quotes freaking Star Wars.

I'd say you should just go and *buy* Hades. But if you'd rather then play it on Game Pass. It's heckin' fun! Great soundtrack good action and a compelling story.

Play it! It's good!
The original HADES is back on Game Pass today! Good luck getting out of hell.
just when you thought you could catch up on that backlog:

A trans comic writer at DC was fired for posts after Kirk's death. A woman dev at Sucker Punch was fired for posts after Kirk's death. A woman of colour is fired from the WaPo for posts after Kirk's death.

Trump made jokes about the assault on Paul Pelosi & was elected President.
For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement.

However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read.
