Whole MAGA apparatus is turning on Zelensky more now, huh

Got Old World, so far just going through tutorials. Spending time sorting my WoW inventory, have 20 years worth of crap I should not be keeping, hah

Biden still living in Trump's head

They did this at an old company I worked for, a good section of engineers came back only to job hunt at work. One legend came back and told the managers to do something rather obscene, which was fun.

This sure counterweighs everything else. I do find it funny they're cutting people and having to hire them back. One would think tech people understood the importance of being methodical.

Is just funny that they gave their diplomats and leaders nice trips to Switzerland or Germany for no real purpose, framing a rally as a peace summit. Doubt they'll be sending tech and weaoons to Russia, that'd be too stupid a switch even for this clown show. https://www.kyivpost.com/post/47420 Hopefully Trump doesn't throw a tantrum at this.

The decline of Relic

Of all the things to level state level pressure on, Andrew Tate is one ? https://www.ft.com/content/3f951e0b-a9cb-489a-be89-fdf9f996ed27u

Don't give him ideas...

Cleared snow, think we got maybe 20 cm again. Hopefully that's it, but this stuff isn't going to melt for weeks, which is interesting. Pretty sure some cars near me are going to be immobile for that period of time too

How long are we supposed to wait before judging Trump, again?

Wrong thread

Finished Kotor 2, got to see Atton die because I can't build good characters I guess.

Snow is irritating, running out of space to clear it to. 20 cm this week and maybe 25 cm this weekend. Guess will have to shovel it while it's still falling, chip away at the boulder.

Apparently DOGE has fantastic security. https://www.theverge.com/news/612865/doge-government-website-database-security-open

"For purposes of this United States Policy, we will consider Countries that use the VAT System, which is far more punitive than a Tariff, to be similar to that of a Tariff. Sending merchandise, product, or anything by any other name through another Country, for purposes of unfairly harming America, will not be accepted"

"After reports circulated Wednesday night of the State Department's intent to purchase Tesla vehicles, the document was edited, at 9:12 p.m., and now says the federal contract is for $400 million worth of "armored electric vehicles," but the word "Tesla" was removed. Responding to a segment by MSNBC's Rachel Maddow about the $400 million contract, Musk wrote on X on Wednesday night: "Hey @Maddow, why the lie?" Hopefully more people report on the edit. But not like people will care about details.
