One of the toughest parts of running for Congress while remaining 100% people funded, is fundraising when horrible things happen. Some confuse fundraising with a lack of empathy.

The reality is, I'm running to uphold justice. I refuse corporate money to be 100% accountable to the People—so I can best address the needs of those suffering.

Last quarter—with your support—I outraised my corporate funded opponent. Whether it's $1 or $3300—we need you. Donate, RT, let's win:

looking at my past earnings (via ssn.gov)... and amused. I joined the Army in April of 1968, and made a total of $972 that year.

I did better in 1969... that extra $50/month had a big impact on my pocketbook.

What COVID19 has taught us about the Zombie Apocalypse is that there will be zombie denialists, zombie virus infection parties, zombie conspiracy theorists, and politicians ruthlessly exploiting lies about zombies to kill off demographics who won't vote for them—and when a vaccine against Z-virus is invented there will be zombie anti-vaxxers (some of them funded by the Kremlin for shits and giggles).

Really though, Mario Wonder is great. Best 2-D Mario in ages.

It just feels like...remember when they re-released all the original Mario games on Game Boy Advance, but added a bunch of voices that weren't in the original games, just because they could? And so there Mario yelled inane things that didn't add to the game every time you pressed a button, just to show off the hardware?

That's what this feels like.

“Mr. Chesebro’s deal could present a more serious threat to Mr. Trump than the others given that he pleaded guilty to a conspiracy count that involved both the former president and some of his closest allies.

Mr. Chesebro also maintained an extensive correspondence with other pro-Trump lawyers charged in the case and played a central role in one of Mr. Trump’s chief plans to stay in office: a scheme to create slates of pro-Trump electors in states like Georgia, which Mr. Trump had actually lost.”

“reveal a politically engaged swath of American Jewry who are reaching a breaking point. They have long sought an end to the Israeli government’s occupation of the West Bank and blockade of Gaza, supported a two-state solution and protested the right-wing government of Benjamin Netanyahu.

But in the Hamas attacks, many saw an existential threat, evoking memories of the Holocaust and generations of antisemitism, and provoking anxiety about whether they could face attacks in the United States. And they were taken aback to discover that many of their ideological allies not only failed to perceive the same threats but also saw them as oppressors deserving of blame.”

cursed fact: Adobe Podcast's "Enhance AI", a tool for noise removal and voice boosting, firmly believes that any audio you give it *must* have human speech.

If you upload, say, vocal-free chiptunes playing on a Game Boy, it will *find* the speech.

An automatic "mark as stale" action is a 🖕 to your users. At this point just make the repository private. Who cares?

For all the things Nintendo does uncannily well, they are just fucking awful at voiceover. (Or English voiceover, at least.)

I don't understand how "let's do lots of obnoxious flower NPCs that sound like Blippi" ever shipped. They're such a terrible part of an otherwise amazing game. They stamp a sloppy Star Fox 64 vibe on the whole thing. Thank God you can turn the VO off.

Why TF our entire legal and political system is so afraid of actually, finally doing it? Any other person would've been locked up a long time ago. He's already done more than enough. It's just embarrassing now.
