Apart from being completely one-sided, a critical point is that it does nothing to deter another Russian invasion of Ukraine after the Russians have re-armed and rebuilt their forces. Only a NATO alliance or Ukrainian nuclear weapons would provide that.

These people are definitely wired a little different.

There's a distinct lack of humanity in the cuts I've observed. I'm not sure if that's just because its how they are reported in the Press, or just because the administration is made of wealthy a**holes. Maybe both.

DJT said it would end within 24 hours, so technically it ended on Jan. 21st.

Yeah, if you don't like fighting demons then this isn't the game for you. That being said, it's at least as good as Kingmaker, and I liked the companions more. At least the non-evil ones.

These days I'm less interested in purely vampire-based plot lines, so no I haven't watched it. I have enjoyed Being Human though, perhaps because it's a mix of themes.

I finished watching Domino Day on AMC+. It was pretty decent, even fun at times, even though fantasy always seems too random to me. Now I'm giving Snowpiercer a reluctant try... and I'm finding it better than I expected. The whole concept is completely absurd, but I suppose it can be viewed as a type of generation ship.

From a certain perspective, it can be viewed as a race against time: will DJT ruin the economy before he can impose his vision of an authoritarian regime. In that case it can make tactical sense to delay his imposed measures for as long as possible. Hence, we get a massive number of lawsuits while the judicial branch still retains power. I don't think DJT's measures to limit immigration will be disfavored by a majority voters. Likewise, the focus on transgender is a side issue. It's all about the economy.

China’s CATL says it has overtaken BYD on 5-minute EV charging time They've almost caught up to gasoline-powered vehicles now, which have an average range of 413 miles per tank.

NASA’s Lucy Captures Stunning Views of Peanut-Shaped Asteroid in Latest Flyby The asteroid is named for the anthropologist who discovered the Lucy fossil in Africa. It looks pretty beat up.

Jubilost might not necessarily be available at that point.

I suspect he'll only be thrown under the bus when he makes DJT look bad.

My biggest issue with P:K is

Consuming more potassium helps keep blood pressure down, so I've been focusing on foods high in K. Like bananas, dried apricots, beans, unsalted potatoes, and various fruit juices. Apparently it causes more sodium to empty out through your urine.

I heard it's being made by some of the XCOM folks, so it could be decent.

I hope we're not going to see a Lysenkoism-like campaign in the USA, but that seems to be the way the right is trending.

US Supreme Court to hear birthright citizenship case on May 17 I am interested to see how SCOTUS rules on this issue, particularly with regard to birth tourism. Sounds like it all boils down to the interpretation of "jurisdiction" in the 14th amendment.

A slowly spinning universe could solve the Hubble tension If true, it presents a nice, tidy package for our understanding of the big bang.

Trump says he wants to imprison US citizens in El Salvador. That’s likely illegal I could see that idea devolving into a prison sentence for enemies of the Prez. Grab them in a midnight raid and ship them out of the country. There'd be little the Justice department could do to bring them back.

One of those deep songs.

Well that was a pointless waste of time. Is it really a choice when your only option is the "right" choice?

I'm binging the Fallen series on AMC+. It's pretty weird stuff in a number of ways, but I like weird.

This won't make seniors very happy, especially if Congress also goes ahead with Medicare and Social Security cuts. Part of the "just die already" movement, I suppose.
