I've made: New World & Crucible @ AMZN, student games @ DigiPen Puzzlehunter with teammate (teammatehunt.com) 💚 board games, craft bevs, tech - I'm a Seattle stereotype @MrFlargBlarg on what-remains-of-twitter
Mine was deep into a Fire Emblem playthrough and is now going through Edelgard (Baedelgard, even) withdrawal as I fuel my Pokopia addiction.
But Ludicolo needs a house, and it's my duty to give him one.
Washington state families with income in the bottom 20% pay 13.8% of their total income in taxes. Those with income in the top 1% pay only 4.1% of their income.
We rank 50th in tax fairness.
It's time to change our upside-down tax system.
Well, glad I don't have to ask if it is.
(there is a tornado, but we're all fine)
Well the Carnegie museum had to evacuate the upper floors, but at least I got good seats for it.
I'm here now and people are already talking about it in non-furry circles. I never realized how huge it was!
You probably already know about it, but just in case, the Spire With Friends mod for STS1 is incredible if you want to coop that. You need two PCs but it'll run on a potato.
Me upon arriving in Canada: Oh wow it's more similar than I thought
Me within 30 minutes of being back in the States: Why are two different people blasting things out of their phone speakers???
Take me back....
Costco does too, at least on the Eastside. They're in the Kirkland location.
*I mean expansion.
If you ever want to return to Cascadia, the Landmarks expedition is incredible. I recommend it quite strongly.
based
loss, any form
if you wanted to be especially pointed, there's also Drix Interception
I hope you'll read this statement from Alex Pretti’s family.
None of us should allow the Trump administration to lie about this man. Help get the truth out.
If we're gonna judge teams by who their worst guy is, I would really not want to be the team with Puka Nacua, tbh.
This looks like an execution. There must be an investigation. There must be accountability.
Joining ICE does not give you license to murder.
The President is escalating the situation—and I have no faith he will stop. The Republican Congress must join us to end this. Enough.
It was an absolute pleasure to have you there!
There's hardly a meaningful distinction between ICE and the Gestapo at this point and we might as well confront that.
No reforming an institution which became the gestapo. It must be destroyed.
We similarly don't have a lot of hard-and-fast rules, but we still end up having a lot to cover. We have about 60 folks onsite, so catering/food for them, events, merch orders, the pre-hunt social event... Then for any new people, intro to checkmate (our tooling) and who we are, etc.
It's a lot!
The best part of this meeting on teammate is the big slide that goes:
WE WILL NOT WIN MYSTERY HUNT.
*(but we should finish and will try for that)
Anecdotally I feel like we write it in larger font every year.
Now ICE is killing moms in the street? The escalating violence from the Trump Administration against immigrants and protestors is absolutely outrageous.
The state of Minnesota must be allowed to pursue all avenues to seek justice.
Yeah, just like the Woodland Alliance they can really snowball once they get going
Oh man I'm shocked at this too. You would love them. BoTW is arguably the best game of all time and I think it's up your alley based on your tastes. (I generally think boardgamers will enjoy the puzzles)
Idk how much discourse you heard, but they only need intended to use it for prototyping, never to actually release anything. And when they did, accidentally, they removed the *one texture* immediately.
I hate genAI slop the same as anyone, but the kneejerk purity culture against E33 is crazy imo.
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we
have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.
We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn
Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
TIME cover showing a bunch of billionaires imposed into the famous photo of engineers sitting on a steel bar as they're building a skyscraper.
Fucking incredible dystopian shit, comparing super rich people risking millions if not billions of lives just to make more money to people that risked their life actually building incredible things that would then make millions of dollars for super rich people.
Trump is illegally attacking boats allegedly carrying drugs. He brags about being tough on drug dealers.
Meanwhile, he pardons the former Honduran president — a man convicted in American court of bringing hundreds of tons of cocaine to the U.S.
You can’t make this stuff up.
There are lots of places with houses that cheap in the state. It's just that nobody wants to live there. I personally happily pay the premium to live in King County, because I think the quality is worth it, but one can live elsewhere in the WA.
