The overaggressive ones missed the whole point of NMS. They should have moved their nastiness over to one of the hundreds of multiplayer shoot & bomb ‘em games instead of ruining the experience for players who love and value NMS for what it is.

That is an amazing list. I remember when you first posted each one. Your loving family has reason to be grateful that you weren’t required to eat all this stuff in one week. Also that the pork belly sandwich was a limited time product.

Yes, there seem to be sex abusers, adulterous hypocrites and pedophiles around every Congressional corner. Bribery works well too, both as incentive and evidence for blackmail. If they crossed paths with Russian agent “recruiters” who knew or guessed their vices, they are toast and must obey or lose their careers.

Yes, his name has been coming up since the beginning as he bent and broke the law to help the Trump cabal keep their crimes secret. It was so blatant that he was forced into a recusal, which he has repeatedly violated. Now Schiff warns that the House Republicans have stopped their Russia/Trump investigation entirely:…

Thank you. You’re right, I had missed those. Two more things for us to keep in mind:

I hope Mueller and his team and their families are very well-protected from the armed crazies these corrupt rants are stirring up. They are fomenting violence, no question about it. That would both disrupt the investigation and give the Trump regime an excuse to declare martial law, especially if a timely war with N…

Yes, and there is also the flood of Russian donor money flooding into Congressional campaigns: https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/putins-russian-allies-pump-millions-into-gop-campaigns-through-proxies-thanks-to-citizens-united/

I agree completely. It makes the blatant aiding and abetting from the Trumpite puppets in Congress and at Fox very dangerous and also suspicious. Do they have something to hide too?

Thanks for this very interesting post. I would have enjoyed it even without the timely Star Wars reference. The P-38 is an interesting-looking plane, but I wouldn’t call it goofy-looking. On the other hand, I’ve always thought the Millenium Falcon looked just like a hungry tick.

Oh, there are consequences and they like them and will seek them out. Some of the biggest right wing donors are radically anti-abortion and anti-immigrant, and these issues are also core ones for the red state Trumpite base. By “fighting” “liberal judges” to prevent “killing innocent babies,” they are trolling for…

This series of explanatory tweets about this development by ex-fed prosecutor Renato Mariotti is a must read:

Too bad Trump doesn’t use email himself. But maybe there are some from Hope Hicks or others saying that he knew about or approved things that he has denied or that are illegal. For Kushner and the Trump spawn, another proven episode of lying under oath could be ... problematic.

Yes, why not have helmet accelerometer readouts for dangerous hits? Alerts would immediately be sent to officials, coaches, and the people assigned to monitor player safety, and players on the field could see lights and sounds. It would have to be thoroughly vetted as catching dangerous hits reliably, but surely it…

That’s a good deal and I hope that after this vote you can keep it. Over half a dozen people I have spoken with around here (eastern MA) have had very bad Comcast experiences and did switch after much frustration.

Comcast is very shady and I don’t know anyone who likes its services. From everything I have read and heard first-hand, it obviously doesn’t give a damn about infuriating customers. If there is a lower road, that company will take it, apparently. For example, there is a Wall Street Journal OpEd all about how the…

The handling of Nasser’s crimes by the university reminds me of the Catholic Church’s past handling of priests after multiple reports of sexual abuse: hide it, keep it internal, stonewall the victims and assume they will go away because lawsuits are hard and expensive. The Church just reposted the dirty priests to…

The Mary Sue blog has some additional links to add to these:

I was particularly shocked at the high proportion of Alabamian white women voting for Moore because I was assuming that, like virtually all women, they have themselves experienced sexual harassment or abuse first-hand and have also seen or heard about it happening to other women. A higher proportion of men would be…

Try not to be embarrassed. The blind bigotry and willful ignorance of white Alabamians who voted for a lawless, evil, hateful pedophile have nothing to do with you. They made their own choice, and you have no reason to identify with them. Instead, let’s take this as a critically important wake-up call that all…

Just for a smile in honor of his recovery and in hope for his continued health and safety:
