Yeah, nothing worse than a billboard you can't see at night. Get some spotlights, am I right???

It's also a civil violation, not a criminal one.

Is CNBC blocking VPN access? I get an "access denied" error when trying to visit this link.

I have worked hard to remind some of the Trump-voting Massholes I have the pleasure of interacting with on a regular basis of this. I think I've made inroads with at least one of them. I also make sure to bring this up:

"The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy."

Trump committed negligent homicide in blue states for political gain.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MOTHER SCHRODINGER!?

Most recent social security trustees report says the trust fund will run out in 2035. What happens in 2035? Benefits are still funded at 83% in perpetuity. By the way, last year it was going to run out in 2033, and the year before that it was going to run out in 2031. And also by the way, the trust fund was specifically set up because they knew the baby boomers were going to stress the system, so it's supposed to get depleted as the boomers use it.

Everything is working mostly as intended, and yet there's all this anxiety around Social Security. Why? Because Republicans want you to think Social Security is fucked all on its own so that you don't question it when they ratfuck it. That and they want to constantly frame the conversation as such so that the conversation doesn't turn to "how do we make social security more robust and generous?" or some other radical socialist nonsense.

Feeling pretty bogged down.

It was the naval ensign of Massachusetts up to 1971, and I guess still is, just with the words removed. As a proud Swamp Yankee, I say to anyone using it to support a fascist coup attempt, and especially anyone from New Jersey - fuck right off.

Code mods are great, maps and assets are in there but not officially, so compatibility going forward probably isn't great for those. Full modding support is being worked on and is one of their highest priorities, so I'm not surprised there wasn't much discussion about it. Asset mod support is "before summer" so they've got another month according to their last statement on it. PDX Mods has some bugs but overall it's actually pretty slick and functional, and they've made a few highly requested improvements to it already.

Straight white Christian men sit at the bottom, almost buried beneath the pyramid

Like a Pharaoh? Buried with concubines and unimaginable riches and feasts in an elaborate sarcophagus? Under a monument built on the backs of thousands of slaves and their suffering and death? Yeah, okay, that tracks.
