Charge your damn controllers when you're done too! You don't want the next person to be annoyed when they pick it up.

I'm teaching the same "gamer's etiquette" to my kids.

“Did you save your progress” is gamerese for “I love you”

In this house we ask if someone's games are properly saved when we take turns on the Steam Deck or Switch 2 because we're a loving family who looks after each other's progress.

Oh yeah, civil RICO is a thing, very difficult to prove but it might work against an actual organized-crime group. More often it shows up in performative lolsuits.

At long last, the name chance we’ve all been waiting for: RICO Hat.

Hey @kenwhite.bsky.social, is it finally RICO? www.tampafp.com/google-unlea...

Back when I was communicating with Lawrence Krauss about his public defense of Jeffrey Epstein, I was shocked by how illiterate he was. After reading the recently leaked Epstein emails, it seems like the entire pedo network wrote that way. Weird. skepchick.org/2011/04/lawr...

Trump said he was never on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane, didn’t know Ghislaine Maxwell was recruiting at Mar-a-Lago and wasn’t on the island The emails released by the House Oversight Committee suggest he lied Now we know why Maxwell gets to pet puppies Can’t wait until Adelita Grijalva is sworn in

Starting in 2017, Ms Brown revived the case by exposing the original charges, talking to victims, tracing the sweetheart deal, etc. That resulted in new more serious charges, Epstein's re-arrest, and ultimately his suicide in a Federal jail. the-line-up.com/perversion-o...

Short version: in 2008, Epstein was arrested and charged by Palm Beach police for sexual trafficking of minors. Due to various interventions, including by then US Attorney Alex Acosta, he pled down to much, much less serious charges and got a light sentence, including work release from jail.

As I sometimes like to mention, s the only reason you know who Jeffrey Epstein is (that is, if you weren't one of his friends/clients/beneficiaries) is because Ms Brown, below, broke the story of his sweetheart deal to get out of the 2008 trafficking charges.

Even if jeffrey epstein never existed not a single person on the planet would be shocked to find out that donald trump is a pedophile

The same Michael Wolff who has 100+ hours of interviews with Epstein that he hasn't released.

He’s also got a podcast on Daily Beast.

Ooooohhhhh wait is Michael Wolff the same Michael Wolff who filed that performative and dubious anti-anti-SLAPP suit against Melania Trump last week? Man he is having a MONTH

REMINDER of what corporate media does not want to cover because they fear losing access to Donald Trump: "One of the four women who say they were “groomed” for sex by Ghislaine Maxwell testified Jeffrey Epstein took her to meet Donald Trump when she was just 14." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

We here at the New York Times grilled Clinton for her reckless email management. COMSEC is of the utmost importance. Here's why we will ignore or downplay letters of Trump's possible child raping.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sending emails to her staff saying "please print" or Donald Trump sending letters to Jeffrey Epstein alluding to child rape, both candidates sent some questionable messages to people that they knew.

Tick Tock The Epstein Files

🚨 Files show consultants influencing Google results to minimize negative coverage on Jeffrey Epstein, per reporter Dan Boguslaw. "We will see our properties shoot up due to the…reinforcement we can provide from sites like Harvard, Nat Geo, and any other publications we have influence over."

"Essentially what you have here is the two main conspirators in this Jeffrey Epstein case basically saying to one another, sure is weird that Donald Trump hasn't been pulled into this whole thing yet." @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social talk the new Epstein smoking-gun emails:

The drip drip drip is hurting Trump & republicans.. Today’s tea is piping hot..

I think the house will vote to release the files, , the senate will vote no, but his legacy will be devastated, and his family-especially his current wife- will be destroyed-

The fact that James had a negotiator on speed dial is nuts

Game was roommates with Game.

Y'know, it makes perfect sense that Guillermo del Toro and James Cameron were roommates who introduced each other to Patlabor and Battle Angel Alita.

Jeffries: "He somehow has found $40 billion to bail out his right wing wannabe dictator buddy in Argentina putting Argentina first but not the American people first."

I hate Trump corruption. I hate Russel Vought Religious Theocracy masked for billionaires. I hate Stephen Miller Fascism. I hate SCOTUS and Pam Bondi DOJ corruption. I hate liars and ignorance. I hate evil. I hate Nazis. know I’m not the only one. youtu.be/OQM449KDBLo?...

John Fetterman. PA is seething right now. People on both sides are putting him in the same category as Fmr Gov Tom Wolf and nearly everyone in rural areas hated him. His career is over. He painted a target on his back and people will let him know in the voting booth.

Jeffries is corny but still doing better than Schumer. He just needs a primary to scare him. Schumer needs to go. Senator Tish James when.

Finally Jeffries seems to be getting his groove back

Breaking News: House Democrats released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew of the convicted sex offender's conduct and “spent hours at my house” with a victim.

Explains why Jeffries has gotten bold about calling the Republicans a “pedophile protection program” - House Dems already had the dirt in hand

Via an election, not just signatures. Get enough signatures and you can have a recall election.

There is a lot that needs to be fixed, but being able to hold a vote of no confidence is definitely up there.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time. No more hiding behind election terms.

Jeffries: We are not going to be lectured by anyone on the other side of the aisle about fiscal responsibility when the bill that you just passed is the most fiscally irresponsible piece of legislation ever…

Texas has recorded more than 3,500 cases of whooping cough so far this year, 10 times the number in 2023. The uptick has coincided with a decline in vaccination rates for whooping cough, according to disease experts who urge the best way to control the spread is to get vaccinated.

Pardon my suddenly watery eyes, but a long-time regular just stopped in with this. He'd been reading, found this line, and thought of me, so he wrote it out and brought it in. "I am a handmaiden of civilization. I am a bookseller." 📚❤️

The (what Chicago Curse?) Triple Take: Spurs 121, Bulls 117 1. Fourth quarters are where the stars come out to shine, and Wemby did 2. French Vanilla is back, baby 3. Tre Jones is at sweet home in Chicago www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs...

my heart wants a beautiful, neatly arranged home like the ones featured in architectural digest. but my spirit wants to adopt as many cats and dogs as my living space humanely allows. very difficult dilemma.

Like Churchill and FDR’s cousin Teddy they were brought up to run institutions and taught to help in times of need. For power and people if not equality. (They were all pretty racist.) Not sure that same educational, societal, and moral ethic is instilled today. Progressives for the win rich or not

You know, FDR was an "elite." He came from money on both sides of his family. Yet, he wasn't a predatory scumbag like pretty much all of our rich elites now. He looked out for the little guy. He looked out for the poor. FDR cared about people. We really need a better class of rich people.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Yeah, mmhmm. Go ahead and keep fucking working people over. I'm sure that'll work out well for your party's claim that you care about working people.
