The Speaker is doing that all on his own. The House has been kept out of session since the end of September. He says it’s because he’s unwilling to negotiate on health insurance funding, but many suspect it’s because he doesn’t want to be forced into an Epstein vote. Either way, he’s pretty much abandoned his duties.

They can try to filibuster in the Senate, but that requires them to go on record.

She is one of the three Republicans who have signed the discharge petition to force a vote on bill to release the Epstein files. (Bobert is another one, go figure.)

I don’t like anyone in the line of succession, but they at least largely lack the charisma, or whatever it is, that Trump has to attract his base.

This is The Way.

Goodbye

He had have his name in it after he found out people actually like ObamaCare.

Shades of Gray was such a bad episode it made Pulaski abandon ship.

Russia’s joint military drills with Belarus has caused Poland to shut down Poland / Belarus border crossings. A lot of Chinese goods are shipped to Europe via rail that goes through one of these crossings, so China is taking notice.

The helmets look like the 1930’s-era leather (American) football helmets.

Doc Oc is an interesting choice in the first post, given that that’s the character that got gender swapped to Olivia Octavius in the first Spider-Verse movie.

“…And even though Morn goes on a 10 minute rant every time he hears us say it, this is UFBC.”

The fact that she’s a woman doesn’t earn her any points in his book, either. A woman of color who has opinions? Burn the witch!

1xx - We’re still working on it

When it fails, it at least points you to the site where everyone asks for help.

Ah, well, it does have a desktop mode, but it’s Linux + KDE, not Windows. It can probably do what you want, but it would be some adjustment to the new environment.

+1 on the Steam Deck train. I’ve been in the hospital the last few days, it’s been a godsend, playing Silksong between doctor visits.

You can get a dock if you want a full sized monitor or a real mouse & keyboard. The deck also has two trackpads, which is sufficient for slower mouse games like city builders while in handheld mode.

Because Valve is selling a lot of Decks, game developers are starting to use it as a watermark for low-end performance when tuning their games.

I will admit the Deck’s CPU is a few years old, you can probably get a faster portable if you really want, but SteamOS makes things pretty easy. Technically I can drop the Deck into desktop mode with a Linux KDE environment, but I can’t remember the last time I had to. Maybe when I was trying Minecraft?

Except this boy band is from the early 00’s.

There are times where the enemy of my enemy is just our mutual enemy.
