I love the idea of personal AI agent who can help me handle my life a la what Meta says Muse does.
But I will never pay a for-profit corporation that will datamine my private life and sell it off to offset the cost of my assistant.
Not gonna sell soul to make my life easier.
Can confirm, thanks to #DOGE gutting our agency.
Grants are being restored, yet we are still waiting for every last one of our positions to be reinstated. #NEH
NEW: "It’s been hell."
"I’m dead inside."

What is going on with D.C.'s job market? Contributor Abi Newhouse investigated:
NEWS --> Dems are planning novel ways to wield power of the purse against Trump's corrupt prosecutions of critics like Ilhan Omar if they win House. Reps Pramila Jayapal and Jamie Raskin tell me a range of aggressive tactics will be deployed.

If we can solve our disagreements within the bounds of liberal democratic governance, then you're my ally in the fight against authoritarianism both in America and overseas.
One of my biggest frustrations I have with Part II of FE:FW has got to be how they keep replacing items I'd manually chosen for my inventory with Antitoxins. Being poisoned is actually good in this game! It gives you an opportunity to grind support points by healing every turn instead of curing it!
I don't get the take that Michael Clayton was "vastly underrated" when it was nominated for 7 Oscars (1 of which it won), received consistently positive reviews, and made multiple critics' "Best Of" lists when it released in 2007:
I think I watched it shortly after it released on DVD, & honestly don't really remember much of it… I *do*, however, remember reading the reviews at the time, & no one underrated it. I should probably go back & revisit it now that I'm older; I was probably too young to really "get it" at the time…

New tonight regarding bishops meeting with Trump in Oval: USCCB spokesman says: “This was not something that the USCCB organized. It is not affiliated with the Conference. I have no further information.” New report suggests Heritage Foundation (author of Project 2025) organized today’s meeting.
Turns out the Pentkehydra *is* actually killable; proper Blaze management for Anatolia + Ennea Fire EX from the Royal Sword + proper mage targeting practices did the trick for me!

While I get why Anatolia's Paralogue wasn't available on Cai's route or Theodora's route, I do still kinda wish I could've had a chance to fight the Pentkehydra with Cai's Blaze Arts, and/or the battalion abilities available to Theodora's units...
