BG3 - Butt kicking for goodness!
I too struggled to care about any of the characters. The whole thing is just a bit too "cute" somehow. Chapter 2 was good though.

Godzilla minus one. A relief to watch something that doesn't suffer from the tempo problems that plauge most newer American movies. That said, it was a pretty average.

the witnesses are both tiptoeing around a beartrap, that's why they appear so suspiciously non comitant. They want to maintain their ability to judge these things for themselves. The game is to say nothing of substance while appearing to answer. These "gocha" moments are the whole point. It's a setup from the moment you take your seat.

Also, a house hearing is more a chance for politicians to gain visibility than a serious treatment of an issue. It rarely comes without some outrage or another. that's kind of the point.

to be fair, if there was some sort of mandate on free speech the first thing that would happen is that Palestinean and Israli students both would start accusing eachother of promoting genocide and blaming the university for taking sides. What constitutes "calling for genocide of Jews" is not something everyone agrees on. It's a leading question too isn't it. They aren't asking whether you should be allowed to support mass civilian Palestinean casualties. Insisting on a case by case evaluation is a better idea.

I ordered Anduril, the flame of the west, Narsil reforged, then realized I had to deal with customs and that I had to cancel it because I live under a repressive regime.

It looks like Ursula von der Leyen has made her first major miscalculation in going to Israel and pretending to speak for the whole of Europe. It didn't go over well. Europe is divided on the question of Palestine. The political elite are generally pro Israel because that's where national interests like, the populations much less so. Our Danish PM blankly refused the thought of going to a memorial service for civilian Palestinian victims of the bombing campaign stating that there was "no comparison" to the wound inflicted on Israel.

Did you see this though. Probably his French genes shining through, but I appreciate the zero ****s given.

I can't help but notice that the only western world leader of note to call for a humanitatian ceasefire and any inclination to critique Israel is Macron, who is a lame duck on his last term. I think we need more lame ducks on their last term.

40% of the buildings in Gaza are either destroyed or unsafe for human habitation, but the IDF is "being careful", so that's nice to know.

BG3
The scene with Elminster, not Simmons, was just terrible. I think that one scene was supposed to do everything, and as a result it just went on for way too long. ( the first one, i dunno if there are more)

BG3
The cutscenes are hit and miss, often overly explanatory. many of the main characters are a bit too much on the nose. Simmons screams the overly obvious several times like it was a revelation. without going into spoilers.
