Robert Garcia filed a motion to expel George Santos from Congress, I don't know the procedural details but McCarty has to act apparently and he's gonna route it into the Ethics Committee rather than a floor vote. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/16/house-gop-santos-expulsion-00097216

Within the context of the lore, BOTW takes place so far after the rest of the series that it renders all the timeline garbage moot so the game has big and small references to everything. And then this is a direct sequel to that.

Tucker Carlson waiving like $25 in his contract and starting a Twitter show, whatever that means. Not linking because Tucker Carlson.

happy birthday @QueenoftheDorks, it's not every day you get to congratulate royalty

is the Kremlin really "off the grid" though

Gallego seems like just regular left, not far left. But regardless, if she even runs (which by no means is guaranteed), it's a question of the ratio at which she poaches voters from the main party candidates. If she poaches equally, she could win. If she poaches predominantly from one side, the other side wins.

I don't interpret the Senate Dems playing nice as a credible fear she can win, moreso that it's frustration that they're not consolidating in the face of a united opposition. But I don't think Chuck Schumer carries a whole lot of AZ votes. Maybe institutional donors withhold getting involved in that race, but AZ Dems aren't going to vote for her because of that.

Game comes out May 12, the release is sneaking up on us.

I assume the other entertainment unions will all be joining picket lines.

I think, the fact that the geebz streams are turning into a bit of a cohesive group with regulars and shared interests and jokes etc., but everyone just disperses between streams, *and* we're kind of set up already as a place focused on those shared interest - games, music, anime, etc. - I think it's a good fit! Buuuuut unfortunately I kind of happened to make the suggestion as he was rushing out the door and shutting it down for the night, so I think I could do a better job of actually getting people's attention next go-around. If folks do start to hop over, this thread can function as an HQ of sorts with the various topical folders open for use, and if a bunch of folks all come over and it makes sense, I can set up a separate sub-board.

keep up the good work team
