It doesn't help that thanks to a combination of right-wing propaganda and media complicity most people don't actually know what "defund the police" means

I love how 1.5% of players beat the final boss of the third act of Heretic but didn't bother to go through the exit Maybe they couldn't find the button that operates the stairs In all seriousness though why would you put two progression achievements a minute apart

Screenshot from Steam of the Achievements list from the remaster of Heretic. It shows that 9.6% of players got the achievement for killing D'Sparil (the final boss of Episode 3) but only 8.1% got the achievement for finishing the episode. The only thing you have to do after killing him is find the button to activate the stairs (or use the wings that you can find) to get up on a platform that has the teleporter.

His logic is that the left-side (which in his estimation is 3 to 5 people out of 29) HAS to reach rightward in order to get a majority. Of course, this is all predicated on what I believe to be a false assumption; that most voters are right-wing.

He's claiming that the vast majority of people (unclear if he means all Americans or likely Dem voters) are on the "right-wing" side of things. He's just expressing it in a weird way. He's saying if there were 29 voters, 9 of them are on the far-right, 8 are slightly less right-wing, etc.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: Plaintiffs: No. Possible some children might be in that situation, but everything we could find on short notice is children not in this situation. Judge: Mr. Ensign you saying that *all* these children have parents who are requesting their return to Guatemala? DOJ: That's what I've been told Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: Judge: During recess, I read provision you cited and then the complaint. Every one of 10 named plaintiffs says they are *afraid* of being sent back to Guatemala. (Reads aloud from declarations.) Doesn't line up with what govt is saying. This is why we have courts.

FHP also arrested a man at a crosswalk near Pulse in Orlando last night. The bizarre story of the arrest is related below by Fox35 Orlando. This is so pitifully embarrassing for the state. via www.fox35orlando.com/news/man-arr...

According to an official arrest report from the FHP, Suarez drove up to the site and parked near the Dunkin Donuts before getting out of his vehicle. Suarez then walked up to a bucket of chalk and began using the chalk to color the bottom of his shoe, according to officials. Suarez then began to walk across the crosswalk, creating chalked shoe marks across the area. FHP says Suarez was then arrested on charges, including damaging property and criminal mischief. The trooper that made the arrest said Suarez knew he could not chalk the sidewalk with his hands, which is why he used his shoe. Suarez was been booked into the Orange County Jail and had his first appearance on Saturday morning.

also, I'm not a fashion person, but it's been my experience with all sorts of products that the more they cost, the longer they last (though obviously there's a point of diminishing returns). A $200 pair of shoes lasts far longer than a $50 pair. Being cheap often costs you in the long run.
