Sooo.. the reason you start out in underwear is because you wake up on an abandoned and alien attacked space station from hibernation and will collect your first set of armor on the station

From there you'll be able to go to different planets etc!

**don't mind the not-fitting icons, i know :blobcatgiggle:

Unreal Engine 5 space game project where the player can now equip armor from the inventory The armor are items from a data table with stats per item and a mesh

Meet the "private equity" people who did so much to drive Red Lobster into the ground -- the top executives at Golden Gate Capital.

They sold off the restaurant real estate to help pay for the buyout, and leased it back at what the bankruptcy filing describes as "priced above market rates."

So, yesterday fam went to the Fuller Craft Museum to the “The Red Dress” exhibit on its last stop on this tour (it leaves the Fuller May 19th)

While we were there, there’s an exhibit of #BeauMcCall works “The Button Man”
Some wild stuff!

I have been watching left-leaning Twitter analysts and pundits for 15 years now. While a tiny number of them have ever been consistently right about anything, the more disturbing thing to me has how little impact ANY of this social media plasma has in serving anyone but MAGAs and other bad actors. They rely on social media bullshit to change their world. And it does. Liberals pretend anti-bullshit will do the same. But it almost never does.

Did you know that repeated earbuds use leads to increased production of cerumen (ear wax?). I only developed the problem when I started using them after years of only using over-ear headphones. Two doctors have told me to go with the bone condenser AfterShokz headphones. Anyone had success with those?

I wanted to bake something today because the weather was cool, but I couldn't remember the recipe, so I had to look it up, but the recipe book was packed, so I had to move a bunch of boxes to get to it, but while they were out of the way I decided to put the kitchen rug down, then as long as I was at it I unpacked some dishes, then I unpacked my cookbooks then decided to put them on the tea cart, then put every else back nicely & now the kitchen looks better but I'm too tired to bake.

As CNN documents, it was outsiders who caused the violence at UCLA, not the students. And it's vital to keep in mind that the police "stood by for hours" -- watching (obviously indifferent if not pleased) as the outsiders beat up protestors and journalists -- and thereby became collaborators with the violent intruders into a peaceful protest.

I’m old enough to remember my fellow liberal students running up and down the halls at college, just thrilled that the Shah was gone, and Ayatollah Khomeini was returning to Iran.

Moral of the story, young Jedis: be careful what others wish for.

BREAKING: Alito says, "I hate America, and everything she stands for, I thought that was obvious by now."

Morally correct or not, the one thing this repugnant MAGA virus has changed in popular culture is the number of non-violent liberals repeatedly suggesting that strategic political assassinations might have some pragmatic value in saving America, if not the entire planet.

I’ve now had 3 conversations about the nature of “trust” in the last 2 days. Lots of people think about it. But I still haven’t heard of a credible way society might restore much of it to journalism, broadcasting, government, and public interest missions and agendas of all kinds. I don’t think it’s impossible, but I do think it will be a fairly elite pursuit of a very small group of people for a very long time.

Here are four @msnbc hosts who make me change the channel very fast. But that’s me? Which of these do you wish were in a different line of work. Check all that apply.

Does Aaron Sorkin blow billionaires literally, or just figuratively?

I’m watching Trump trial analysis by Katy Tur, Andrea Mitchell, and Chris Jansing. It’s sort of like listening to Martha Stewart, Killer Mike, and Whoopie Goldberg discussing the manufacturing of o-rings following the Challenger explosion. We need a new news network, stat.

Bo Burnham is the latest [white] musician asking (by video) why he should vote for Joe Biden?

Are these kids all that stupid? It’s not about who we “prefer.” It’s about the FUCKING ALTERNATIVE? It’s just NOT complicated.

They need to put down their phones, read a newspaper (if they can find one), and figure it out. While they still can.

Another thing I’ve noted about women like Marge Greene, Elise Stephanik, Nancy Mace, Kaleigh McEnany, and Lauren Boebert? No one on social media—even on the right—ever seems to openly complain of misogyny when people verbally savage them for their idiocy.

“I didn’t realize he was still alive.”

In a manner of speaking. In addition to his ridiculous radio show, he does regular walk-ons at Mike Lindell (My Pillow) rallies for Trump. He’s a shooting star!

I believe republicans have crapped all over our government. If they can’t have it, they will, like bad renters, damage it deeply, maybe set it on fire. They can’t afford for it to work as designed because that would mean at some point they will be investigated for their crimes.
