Every time someone mentions "OPM" the part of my brain that has played 5200 hours of EU4 always thinks "One Province Minor." My favorite is Dithmarschen.

Reminder that in 2003 criticizing the president got the Dixie Chicks careers permanently derailed - they were cancelled for saying they didn’t feel proud of the President. Bush didn’t personally involve himself but he certainly didn’t defend them either

Word cannot express just how icky the squid people were, but I shall do my utmost to put on these pages a description of the scale of how icked out I was by them.

So if you get that OPM email, my only advice is to recognize (1) it is asking you to give them an excuse to fire you (2) it will be processed by an LLM. If you want to leave, good luck to you, thank you for your service. If not, reply in a way designed to not give their LLM bot those free excuses.

It’s absolutely a Nazi salute. But note how weak it is. Whether it’s sincere or “ironic” (and that doesn’t make a difference), he doesn’t quite have the cobbles to do it vigorously. He does it like grandma struggling to put her shawl on a hook.

Killing Floor 3 is a shambling, rotting reanimated corpse of a franchise that’s been strapped with some shiny new metal appendages in an attempt to imitate life. Tripwire has completely stripped the series of any uniqueness or identity it had, chasing trends & making their game unplayable & boring.

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

This is the first time I’ve like Kathy Hochul in years. All Dems should be talking like this.

"New York hasn't labored under a king in 250 years" Hochul is not sounding tentative about defending congestion pricing.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.
