"Marging changes..." is a typo I made in a commit pushed to a repo so it exists forever now. But I think it's appropriate if we assume it's a merge made with a disapproving grumbling sound.

“It shows to conservatives that he’s providing complete transparency, and that’s what Republicans have wanted for a long time. That said, if the footage is misused in some way, this could end up generating another black hole for Republicans on Jan. 6. It could cause Republicans to be wrapped around that issue, and to look backward, not forward, toward getting things done.”

‘Mr. Bertino gave the proceeding a sudden burst of drama by taking the stand against his former associates. After nearly six weeks of arcane arguments about evidence and often lackluster testimony, Mr. Bertino offered jurors an insider’s glimpse of the growing sense of desperation within both the Proud Boys’ leadership and rank and file in the weeks leading up to the Capitol attack.’

first the Fat Orange one rolls back safety rules, then he shows up at the site of an accident which likely would have been prevented by those rules… and blames the current President.

It's complete "Can you pet the dog" bait, but despite that my favorite little detail of this game is how the main character absolutely dotes on the two pets that are hanging around the home base.

There's a black cat that appears in a random location on each day and if you find and pet her three times, you get the achievement "Unrequited Love"

This song never fails to leave a smile on my face. Boris Blank said, "I had the idea of just this guy, a ... little monster sits there very relaxed and says, "Oh yeah, oh yeah"."

Yello's "Oh Yeah".

(Yello has told other variations of the origins of the song, but I like to imagine the little monster being very chill and being absorbed in the wonders of the universe.)

‘The changes, which will cut the electoral agency’s staff, diminish its autonomy and limit its ability to punish politicians for breaking electoral laws, are the most significant in a series of moves by the Mexican president to undermine the country’s fragile institutions — part of a pattern of challenges to democratic norms across the Western Hemisphere.’

‘On Wednesday at about 11 a.m., Mr. Moses fatally shot the 20-year-old “in a vehicle,” Sheriff Mina said.

Then, he noted, Mr. Moses returned to the site around 4 p.m.

At that time, the TV reporter and the photographer for News 13 were in a vehicle near the site of the first killing. Mr. Moses shot both of them, Sheriff Mina said.

Mr. Moses then walked into a brown house nearby and shot the 9-year-old girl and her mother, he said.’
