I just got a shoutout in the latest #Civ7 patch notes 😲 Screenshots of the new features from the updated game below.

#Civ7 OST dropped and I am loving what I've heard so far. It's got some interesting music going on, and hell yeah SEA and South Asia rep! Still I'm not quite sold on Buddhist chants interspersed with what sounds like Vedic Sanskrit mantras for the Mauryas. Maya and Inca themes are bangers.

Last night, 19 Senators voted to end illegal arms sales to Israel. We stood up to AIPAC, the Democratic Senate leadership, and the Biden administration. We must continue going forward to end illegal arms sales and hold Netanyahu accountable for his war crimes.

Q: What happens when you overpay for a social media platform, drive away most of your advertisers, alienate half its users, making it worth less than a third of what you paid for it within a year? A: You get put in charge of government efficiency.

I've gained too many random followers. Time to take the trash out: I'm queer! I'm trans! I'm autistic. ABA is abuse. Wear a fucking mask. I'm asexual and write books with sex scenes. Sex work should be legal. Vaccinate your kids and pets. Compulsory sexuality is bad and should be pushed back against
