Have a week off work, can't think of anything to actually do during it, other than buy a new dishwasher - maybe will live large and buy a Miele. I suppose I should finally build a new PC, as onerous a task that is these days.

Playing Neo Cab for no reason that immediately comes to me. For the sub $5 it's worth it, the idea is somewhat interesting to play as cab driver in a cyberpunk-ish setting, even if the writing is a bit cliche. Oona is a fun character, wil replay it to finish the side characters as the main plot sucks - someone described it as an emotional abusive relationship simulator and it is.

The Confluence line is too true

Remarkable self destruction by Infantino. Reading reports he's appealing to Trump to somehow save his job, wonder what he wants - Trump to tariff countries not backing him?

Probably pretty easily, airpower and vast numbers. Only hope would be for domestic resistance to attacking us (lol, right)

Doubt they'll ever be fighting to hold on to Kiev, really, issue of competence aside this war has a nasty environment for attackers. Sure is an odd war lately, Russia's blowing up gas stations, Ukraine's blowing up commercial warehouses.

Got a new iron, Rowenta as before, but the newer one is so cheap and light.

Iran can do asymmetric attacks as well, saw this today The i PaperPutin's war has collided with Trump's. The threat to us a...Ukraine’s actions may widen both conflicts in unpredictable ways

Gotta twerk for that US help I guess. Probably won't amount to anything like a war between them though

BBC always does decent montages. Maybe better with "The Hand that Feeds" by NiN

Los malvinas son Españoles

Olise's finishing is abysmal.

Think it was replaced by Islam for a bit.

Apparently Communism is back to threaten the US.

Well creating the master race is one thing, if it's done by the military it's a bit different

Can never be sure with Hegseth. I had thought it was just another step on his dream to get rid of women in the military. "Leading edge of lethality", though, priceless

England pulled an England. I still think Spain should win, but who knows. Hopefully Mbappe goes on a tear and gets the Golden Boot
