Why would they need a new trade organization? I would think the MPA would handle the issue. Is there anything precluding streamers from joining the MPA? Not really sure the employer-side politics.

The Senate passed a bipartisan stopgap bill but McCarthy feels compelled to ignore it while his conference fails to agree on a bill of their own. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4225849-mccarthy-told-conference-he-wont-allow-vote-on-senate-stopgap-gop-lawmakers/

Since Fetterman, Dem Senators Brown, Welch, Baldwin, and Tester have all joined the call to resign. Welch is another '22 freshman and Brown, Baldwin, and Tester are all up in '24 so it kind of makes sense so far. Edit: apparently Sens Casey, Warren, and Rosen too. I think the floodgates are open. Edit x2: I stopped looking for names but just saw the headline that Corey Booker also joined the list, which is relevant because he's NJ's other US Senator.

So a few days ago, Ukraine launched a big missile strike that took out the Black Sea Fleet's HQ in Sevastopol. Ukraine announced that they took out 34 Russian officers in the strike, including Admiral Viktor Sokolov, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-says-russian-black-sea-fleet-commander-killed-no-comment-by-moscow-2023-09-25/

Fetterman is the first Dem Senator to call for resignation. https://twitter.com/SenFettermanPA/status/1705662182434734108?s=20

Unofficial so just mentioning it here and not making a formal announcement yet, but we may be doing our big software/security update this weekend. Slight possibility that downtime cuts into toonami hours but not sure yet. If it goes through, we will probably shut down the ASMB anniversary board at that time and revert any lingering changes like mod rank shenanigans. Security update should resolve this horrible botspam we deal with on a daily basis. EDIT: Site Maintenance is tonight (10/6) and the website will be down for a few hours

also just a clarification, it's the feds in NY, not the state
