Damn that was so well executed. I loved it! I’m anxiously waiting for season 2!

It's sitting at 27% positive on Steam right now. Ouch. It looks like most of the reviews I skimmed are complaining about unacceptable performance.

It’s disappointing. I was hoping performance would improve from the first one.

I've just kept the regular plan. The 4k premiums isn't worth it. Our living room TV is 1080p anyway. Our 4k TV makes 1080 look good enough.

I’m also considering Novavax this time.

Blinken acknowledges Mideast crisis taking toll on staff - POLITICO WWW.POLITICO.COM The chief diplomat sent a note to the State Department as many Muslim staffers have grown unhappy about the U.S. approach to the Israel-Hamas war.

I condemn the Saudi lead air strikes in Yemen that have killed and injured thousands of innocent people.

It is early for polls and they will change over the coming months. A lot can happen. This poll is a head to head and doesn't account for West or Kennedy.

Imagine how bad it would be if high interest rates had already caused a hard landing. Hopefully that doesn't happen, and since it hasn't and Biden is more or less a tied with Trump, I will accept your weird optimism.

BBC radio last night stated it was destroyed by Israel, but that the Israelis were contesting that. I noticed Politico’s first headline made it seem like Israel did it. A lot of people won’t change their mind at this point even if it turns out Israel truly didn’t do it.

Why is Biden even going at this point?

NPR interviewed a member of Hamas this morning and it was really frustrating. At first it sounded as if he was denying that Hamas killed any civilians at all. When the journalist pressed back with facts that Israeli civilians were killed by Hamas based on a lot of evidence, he basically said 'what about Israel, it's war'. His answer on why Hamas was telling Palestinians to not evacuate didn't really convince me either. A lot of bullshit being spewed out there from all sides in this thing.

How credible is the Gaza Health Ministry? I've noticed a lot of media articles are relying on them for stats.

What happens next in Poland? 5 things you need to know after a landmark election – POLITICO WWW.POLITICO.EU It’s not going to be fast or easy for a new government to roll back 8 years of actions by the Law and Justice party.

I think it’s great news. It is a rejection of Poland going the path of Hungary. The opposition should be more supportive of the EU. I am not knowledgeable enough to say anything more, but seems good to me!

Opposition wins Polish election, according to exit poll – POLITICO WWW.POLITICO.EU If vote counting confirms the result, it would mark a dramatic change of direction after a very hard-fought election campaign.

I read both of his books right after Guns, Germs, and Steel. I haven’t watched the video yet but will check it out later. I’m glad the Biden admin is privately urging restraint. They’re absolutely correct that the focus will rapidly shift as Israel takes things too far.

WITCH HUNT!

They didn't have showrunners!?

Israel has a right to defend itself. The anger is what concerns me and that’s precisely what I’m trying to not get caught up in. My statement about the flag was somewhat misleading. I don’t fly any flags over my house. :P

I don’t know what to say about this shit. Israel is going to kill far too many civilians for me to fly one of their flags over my house. I support them more than Hamas, but I’m more concerned with civilians overall. I wish we took in more refugees in general in the US, including Palestinians and Russians. Edit: Just in case it was unclear… Fuck Hamas.

The Taiping Rebellion in China and the Thirty Years' War also come to mind.

I guess a lot of dumb people get some sense of identity and community out of being racist shitbags together. It must make them feel like they’re part of something. ‘Hey guys let’s review bomb that show and stop the libs!” “Lolz” “L337”
