A Historian Spent 30 Years Interviewing Nazis. He Identified 12 Warning Signs of Fascism. All 12 Are Present in Trump's America Right Now.
The evidence is not opinion. It is public record. And it demands your attention before November.

This is how we console game in our family. Physical, and particularly used or discounted games, we get to catch and release. If they are classics, we will buy them later on deep discount for PC. Guess that's over.

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.

Finished and got the end credits for 2024's Outcast - A New Beginning. If we have a genre for dad games, this would be closer to a divorced dad gate. It's dumb at all levels - best not to think too deeply on this one. And by the end it barely ran on the XSX. Hmm.

Nothing special, just a trader joes rice blend, zucchini, corn, and grape tomatoes, and chicken. I am amused that 3oz of chicken can take that much space on a plate, though.
