@Fiikus_goddess One of my partners calls that a "blep" and she describes it as "the moment just after they have the zoomies and happen to look at you as you're looking at them and their tongue is sticking out. It's even funnier if the cat is solid black, as is one of the other cats that tends to do that.

No kidding, I've spent way too many small hours playing Factorio. It started with Mindustry, oddly enough.

@WeThePeople
Precisely! I understand the skepticism inherent in the modern progressive left on all issues and I think if we all unite behind the idea that after we make the Cheeto Benito and his party pay The Whig Price for their foolishness, we form a Progressive party to take its' place, since it appears as though the Home Improvement Democrats have taken over.

@SaintDharma5

As a whole, political parties in this country are corrupt as fuck, the system is corrupt, and requires whole sale reconstruction

but we have to win and beat Trump to even get there

@stueytheround I haven't been posting as much on here or the Fediverse as much but as I am finding FB to be less and less fun these days, I'm looking for better social media and the few mastodon feds I've found are pretty good, even if the learning curve is steep.

@netspionage When a company does a big DLC like that, they will often lay the groundwork for the gameplay bugs and features they will be patching with this DLC by patching ahead of time so as to avoid any known issues and prepare for new ones.
This isn't Obsidian's first time and it shows, by Law. :)

@netspionage I love that there is an achievement for being Too Dumb To Live.

@WeThePeople Well...someone has to take the Trumpism ball and run with it after Donnie's gone. And you can bet your ass once DJT is gone, someone like Cotton or Cruz (or both) will try again unless there is a clear message sent in the form of a landslide victory for Democrats across the board.
Which pains me, as I don't trust Ds very much either. However, most of the Dixiecrats are gone to the GOP, so there's that.

@stueytheround
I keep reminding myself that Admiral Bob Heinlein called this period of time The Crazy Years in his Future History stories.

So, I've decided to get into Factorio. I'm a big fan of logistic planning type games, even though they have a slanted view of Capital.
This game has a completely different set of skill required.
For example, I have to arrange railroad switches so my automated rail system can deliver raw materials for processing.
Still, a good game so far and apparently a programming training tool to learn about compilers.

@WeThePeople Have you checked out Lincoln's Bible on Twitter? They've been highlighting where Donnie might have been flipped and by whom and at whose request was it done.
Put it this way; the guy who made the request allegedly is the head of a crime syndicate that owns two out of the five families in La Cosa Nostra as wholly owned subsidiaries. One of those families had his marker.

@Bl4cK4t I'll need to find a picture of me flipping off a Trumpist in 2016 and post it here.

Dear Friends and Neighbors on the Progressive Left:

Woodward did the right thing by waiting until now. The journalism of now doesn't always play well, and Bob Woodward is a long form investigative journalist and something sorely needed in this Year of Our Lord 2020.
Whoever wrote that wretched piece at Jacobin needs to get out more.

@Bl4cK4t
That it's truth in advertising but not in the way that they would appreciate is so much better. :D

SS t-shirt and Donald Trump hat. This photo says everything you need to know about why I will never call myself a Republican again. None of them will condemn this. They need the racists to win and support their goals. White nationalism has no place in America.

Veteran and photojournalist Chris Jones took this shot of a man in a Trump hat and an SS shirt at a civil rights rally today in Kingwood, West Virginia

@WeThePeople Of course there's contempt. Tapper's bosses have realized that despite their CEOs relationship with The Head of The GOP Administration doesn't change the fact that since they are going mask-off, they may as well not hold back anymore and call them out.
Should have done it a while ago, but better late than never.
