McCabe stepping down - https://www.axios.com/fbi-deputy-director-andrew-mccabe-is-stepping-down-5e60dee9-3fe4-4b18-bf57-fb037c0faabb.html Although I guess he's on terminal leave, burning vacation days to get to the point he'll get his pension.

I just hate those shark things that bother me as I try to harvest the vines. Or any headcrab like things that jump at me on the beaches. Went back to Stellaris, ended up being a serf to an Awakened Empire so it just bogged down into just letting time run by. The game sure runs slow as hell with a lot of fleets moving around.

Getting screwed in Stellaris too much so decided to give it a break.

I play to distract myself from the ruin that is my life.

Today's crazy guy on the street was trying to sing Manowar. A nice change from the ranting about some race or aliens.
