"If this thing goes sideways and we both end up there, meet me at the bar. I'm buying." "And if I'm up there in that bar and you're not, I'll be looking down. You'll never be alone." There will never be another Mass Effect. No other series has left a mark on my soul as deep as it had.

I first played it around the time I came out. Amazing and wonderful RPGs have come out since then. Games that affected me emotionally as well. But nothing can compare to how ME hit me at that very particular moment in my life. It doesn't come as a shock but man does it sting.

Global diesel prices will skyrocket and the glut of diesel domestically would just sit in storage at export terminals, disconnected from the domestic market. Retaliation bans from countries like Canada will cut diesel feedstock leading to higher domestic prices.

Emmer: "You pick 'affordability' because you can pick out the trees you want to focus on. 'We're gonna focus on gas prices' ... The price of eggs is down to pre-pandemic amounts, so why don't we talk about that? 'Oh no, we're gonna talk about beef, because beef is higher.'"

โ€œThe Navy is considering a major redesign of its new aircraft carriers to better match President Trumpโ€™s preferred aesthetic for the warships โ€ฆ Trumpโ€™s preference, current and former officials said, is for the new aircraft carriers to look more like those that were in service during World War II.โ€

So whose Perry Johnson. I first heard of him earlier this year. He, or I guess his PAC, ran ads everywhere saying how Trumpy he was yada yada. He never got traction in the polls, well outside a few questionable ones. Then, as 8/4 drew close, boom Perry Johnson signs everywhere.

Either he's got some big donor astroturfing for him or he's burning a lot of money. This is the guy who ran against Trump early in the 2024 primary and now is running against James as the more Trumpy alternative...at a time when Donald Trump has never been more unpopular esp. in Michigan.

Oh yeah, Mike Duggan. We intially had a three-way contest with a democrat, republican, and independent (who leans democrat). Duggan was the latter. He was mayor of Detroit. Guess he was well-liked but lost any chance of support when he tried to do the centrist "can't we get along" act.

So those who don't know this fun year in MI we're having. Gov. Whitmer, the Dems incumbent, is term-limited so the seat is open. Our Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is running. I'm voting for her and she's in a pretty good position since Mike Duggan dropped out.

Clown shit lol Honestly, the whole GOP side of the governor race is a joke. Republican party in Michigan is laughably corrupt and incompetent and don't want to give them any good advice So, sure GOP, nominate Johnson. I need a good laugh. michiganadvance.com/2026/04/22/t...

Is there a national government that detests the people of its capital more than the US?

"The Park Service, in a separate document, similarly said that people should โ€˜wear an n95 mask when outdoorsโ€™ and โ€˜remain indoors as much as possible during and after the show.โ€™โ€ The guidance is to remain indoors ... during the fireworks. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

โœŠ๐ŸพToday is Juneteenth!โœŠ๐Ÿพ Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 when Union troops finally enforced the Emancipation Proclamation in Galveston, Texas. It was TWO YEARS AFTER slaves were supposedly โ€œfree,โ€ and marks the true effective end to cartel slavery of Black people in the US. #juneteenth
