This taboo really needs to die. It’s uncomfortable, I agree, but we have an insanely lopsided and unjust system and it is supported by a lot of strange issues around money. This keeps Americans unaware of just how messed up the system is, strange inherited views about the ‘American Dream,’ keep us believing everyone…

I also heard she’s ugly. But don’t let Ted Cruz know I said that. I don’t want him trying to be my new best friend.

It tracks that the Cruzes have the kind of shitty “friends” who won’t tell them a senator going to Cancun while his constituents freeze to death is a bad idea, but will tattle on them to the New York Times.

Remember when John Sununu got in trouble for using the White House car service to go from DC to NYC for a stamp convention and he sent the car back empty because he flew back and he tried to defend himself by saying the car service was for his personal use and he got fired anyway?

I loved Odyssey. I loved every single thing about it. I think a big part of that is how compelling that era of Greek history is, and how much we know about it, relatively. AC Valhalla is set in an essentially post-apocalyptic era. And it is super cool to see the artists’ renditions of extant Roman ruins and how…

“As one does...” *waves dismissively* 

What a knob... Unfortunately, there seem to be no repercussions for the morally bankrupt, charisma free people who somehow keep getting reelected by a constituency that they seem to hold in contempt.

He and his staff also lied. The claim initially was that this trip was booked “weeks ago” but turns out it was booked this week. And Cruz’s original return ticket was for Saturday.

THIS. Folks all busy reading him for filth for bailing on TX citizenry during a weather disaster....have totally forgotten to ream him for travelling during a pandemic.

It’s telling that the GOP no longer appears to care about optics, or about looking like out-of-touch douchebags or raging hypocrites. Mitch McConnell didn’t care about being a hypocrite when he rammed through Amy Coney Barrett to SCOTUS. Cruz slammed an Austin politician for taking a trip two months ago, but here he…

Filled with travel sizes of hair grease.

Cruz and the rest of the Texas GOP are taking a page out of their fuhrer’s playbook: Don’t bother giving a shit or doing anything to help. They watched their orange leader do that for four years and still manage to get almost half the country’s voters to still vote for him. So why should they care? Their loyal, un-refl…

how about not taking a trip with friends during a global pandemic...

He’s definitely worried about getting jumped lol.

COUNTERPOINT: We can both investigate Cuomo for his increasingly-apparently abject mishandling of the nursing homes AND totally lambast Ted Cruz for being the worst kind of huckster-Senator who is fiddling as his state is anti-burning.

The evil that men do lives after them,

My dad was a Fox News watching conservative until George W. Bush decided that he was against research using fetal stem cells, and my father, whose religion was not the same as George W. Bush’s but who had Parkinson’s, was so outraged that someone else’s religion was being used to potentially shorten his life that he…

The world would have been a better place if he had never been born.  It’s too bad the evil he put into the world and won’t pass on with him.

I’m starting to think that as people age they either become harder and more hateful, or softer and more loving. Rush Limbaugh, Qanon, Tea Party politics, etc just hasten the process and make it happen faster.

Well said, there are plenty of short games with a straightforward story and experience out there for those who want them. Judging by the Assassin’s Creed sales any “pressure” to make the games shorter is simply not going to work because those who keep buying those games seem to enjoy its length.
