Not going to happen. Even if Mongolia were somehow immune to retaliation, Russia has like a 90% approval rating there.

Tbh, if it were possible to record dreams or reliably trigger vivid lucid dreams, that could be one of the most significant breakthroughs in the history of art, recreation, and psychology. The fact that some startup is trying to grift on the idea with IoT/gig economy bullshit doesn't change that.

NPR: Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington National Cemetery

Two members of Donald Trump's campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation Monday with an official at Arlington National Cemetery, where the former president participated in a wreath-laying ceremony, NPR has learned.

A source with knowledge of the incident said the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried. The source said Arlington officials had made clear that only cemetery staff members would be authorized to take photographs or film in the area, known as Section 60.

When the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering Section 60, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside, according to the source.

ECHO (2017)! It's an indie game with AAA-feeling production quality from a tiny Danish studio that sadly went bankrupt after the game only sold a few thousand copies. I played it during lockdown on an old recommendation from MetaFilter and it has since become one of my favorite hidden gem titles.

Trailer

You play a bounty hunter named En (voiced by Game of Thrones star Rose Leslie) who wakes from hibernation when her spaceship arrives at a legendary artificial planet said to hold the secret to resurrection and eternal life. When she arrives on the surface, she soon discovers that its interior is a vast, abandoned baroque Palace, straight through to the core. As she wanders the infinite halls guided by her witheringly sarcastic AI London (voiced by Nicholas Boulton), she is surprised to find the Palace generates hostile clones of herself that hunt her down and copy her actions in a unique spin on the stealth genre. Gameplay consists of trying to navigate through various beautiful, byzantine concourses, collecting artifacts and unlocking elevators that lead deeper into the secret at the heart of the planet.

You may or may not enjoy this based on how you feel about stealth games with minimalist combat, but for me the challenging adaptive gameplay combined with the evocative score, compelling voice acting, intriguing story, and gorgeous environmental/sound/UI design made this a really nice surprise. (And while the studio might be dead, I'm really hoping the plans to turn it into a movie eventually rise from development hell.)

What was your username?

They attacked gamers. Gamers.

Played a few minutes of Altered Beast (1988) on an incredibly shitty Genesis emulator I f̶o̶u̶n̶d̶ rose from its grave in the closet last week.

Important to note that the same is not true for political donations. Idk what the cutoff is but even relatively small amounts get reported to the FEC and make their way into various searchable public databases. Just something to keep in mind if you're in a vulnerable situation.

Tbh I debated posting it because it was late and there were already dozens of comments and I didn't have it in me to write some big review. But I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Make sure not to miss the soundtrack.

Perfect Days. Got it half-off from Criterion based on the trailer and little else. Absolutely gorgeous cinematography, and a subtle and compelling character study.

That attack might have a little more juice if they didn't deploy it against every single Democrat in the last 60 years, including Joe fuckin' Biden.

"Associate your personal brand with the fringe-right/antivax/Nazi YouTube! What could possibly go wrong?"

they won't have to self-censor themselves from saying fuck or shit

...or "non-white people are degenerate inferiors".

Fuck Odysee.

Attacking the capital was a last-ditch hail mary move, and only viable when he controlled the military.

They're going to use baseless conspiracies to try to fuck with the election certification enough (with an assist from the courts) to force a contingent election in the House, where they'll likely have a majority of state delegations.

I assume they didn't include my man Tim Walz because he would have embarrassed the competition.

And still no Halo movie.

Mike Johnson is (as usual) full of shit. The DNC is still a month away and not a single state ballot deadline has passed.

He isn't "conservative". He's a fascist.

Oh my god, I thought this was a joke.
