Reminds me of the NYT interviewing voters last summer about Trump, one guy summarized him with the word "morality".

Got flowers for my mom, lesson learned is to buy it from big corporate chains. Got some tulips that are pretty crap compared to the grocery ones at 1/3rd the price. Happy Mother's Day

Bruce, here's your chance https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-bring-white-afrikaners-us-refugees-south-africa-wake-expropriation-legislation

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/09/rumeysa-ozturk-tufts-ice-release-00338953 Well that's good news, of sorts. And of course this homunculus https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-stephen-miller-says-trump-administration-is-actively-looking-at-suspending-habeas-corpus Not a very good sign, even if (I assume) they can't actually do that.

Wonder who's next from Fox to get a nice government job.

You assume any of these people even know what Marxism is

No African Pope for a while, then

Yep, but still displeased they picked one from the US. Thought they'd skip ones from major powers much less a superpower. Personally he seems ok, aside from some sex abuse mishandling accusations (big ****ing surprise) though, in line with Francis. Had to laugh at a Catholic forum desperate to know his stance....on the Latin Mass. Crusader LARPers, I guess, as KP said

And they picked a Pope from the US. Huh.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/us-britain-expected-announce-tariff-deal-thursday-2025-05-08/ First "win" for Trump.

Or a US civil war. That'd be fun to watch.

So much time spent playing those. That series went more actioney though, people want gunfights and in GR you're mainly prowling around assassinating dudes.

Depends on the shooter, it's like an ARPG, sometimes the fun is in killing a lot of people/monsters. A GTA like game with a damage model like R6 of old would be fun, though

Went over your head. Seems a poor result for India, https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/world/asia/india-pakistan-attacks.html

Would never have happened with Kamala in office.

I generally have no idea what is going on in fights with my rogue. Fun is when a sorcerer is fighting with me, can't see anything. Not as bad as WoW. Plugging along in d4, only lvl 44. Trying to play on Penitent waa too ambitious

Well the office event went without too much drama, Trump threatening Canada as usual. Carney didn't say much, but I suppose not much to say as Trump's mind goes on a journey.

https://thehill.com/business/5284207-lutnick-skeptical-of-cutting-a-deal-with-canadas-socialist-regime/ Not a great sign for the talks today. I maintain Lutnick really should have been on time to work that day.

"Palestinians in north Gaza told the BBC that they were strongly opposed to being forcibly displaced to the south once again, with several saying they would rather die amid the ruins of their homes." IDF will grant their wish. Sorry, I mean Hamas will force the IDF to grant their wish.

Just be glad he didn't see Escape from LA.

Currently it's generating revenue - https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/trump-floats-reopening-alcatraz-heres-how-much-revenue-notorious-prison-generates $60MM isn't much, but Musk reaches climax over saving amounts in that range. And it was shut down as an active prison for being cost ineffective so...
