1 My condolences and prayers to you and your family.  

2 Oh no. My sympathies.

3 Not your mom, was it? I'm so sorry.

4 I'm sorry for your loss, man.

5 So sorry to hear this. Praying.

Going forward, the schedule is as follows: 

Sunday: Final Fantasy 14

Monday: Final Fantasy 14

Tuesday:

Wednesday:

Thursday: Disgaea: Hour of Darkness

                 Project Zomboid (collaboration with other streamers) 

Friday: Genshin Impact

             (Plus Occasional collaborations) 

Saturday: Usually nothing but there will be Occasional Special Events/ Movie Nights

There may be one or two additional games added in the next month, and I'm planning to resume science streams, however those are necessarily going to use guerilla scheduling. 

The streams start time may change going forward. If so they will be getting earlier rather than later, lengthening the streams. 

1 One hearsay is that if one was listening to Tucker not that frequently, it could become obvious that Tucker simply went mad at some point.

I've joked that his FBI handlers are just that desperate to discredit the releases of the congressional videos.

The thing about commenting on politics, or commenting on commenting?  Recent times have been hard on everyone's mental health, and trying to stay in the business seems to have been especially maddening.

Okay, so I have been trolling/commenting on political blogs for maybe as much as fifteen years (According To Hoyt under another handle), or perhaps even twenty or so.  But, it was not income, so I could quit for a while if the situation got too confusing.  I have absolutely needed those breaks.

Maybe I was never /that/ sane, but I definitely have had some worse periods, where I actually later appreciated the opportunity I took to be silent. 

Honest, true, sane, and will not get the speaker punished.  Achieving one does not automatically achieve others. 

I can be honest and also closely approximating true.

I can be honest and also closely approximating sane. 

I am not trying to run a viable business of pushing out words.

David French is, and seems to have picked dishonesty. 

I don't really know anything about Tucker Carlson.  I tend to think that the search for a human to champion right, when no one closer is championing right, is a weakness of personal philosophy, and personal conviction.  IE, instead of pretending that bad people are good, if alone in the world, remain resolute that the world can go frustrate themselves.

Putin is basically similar to HRC. 

I'm not sure if the Putin fanboys I have seen online are mostly paid Russian assets, or go along to get along American nominal Christians in the visible Christian church, who were never really brought into the true Christian church by the Holy Spirit.  It is fundamentally absurd to suppose Putin as a champion of Christendom.  Whatever the merits of Orthodoxy, Putin has tried to lead Muslims against Christians. 

For me, the big moral qualm is funding for defense programs.

I like funding for defense programs.

There's the pragmatic trade off that letting the Democrats steal a lot, and take credit for good things done by others, is undermining the long term political support for defense programs. 

If a Biden can be allowed fraudulently into office, no future defense spending questions can remain entirely isolated from the question of the returns from that spending being destroyed by a further future Biden cognate.  I can like Ukraine a lot, like fighting the Russians, like lots of the spending for Ukraine, and still understand that fighting the Ukraine funding in congress now makes confidence available for longer term defense spending in the future. 

(Expecting anything from congress now except theater is short term ism.  I know the service community is committed to lobbying for continued funding.  It is still short termism, and not having any officers speaking on the record about this congress's basic ability to deliver anything good is prudent but maybe undermines positioning for having strategic vision.)

1 daijoubu?

2 Oh. It must be a reference to Voyager "getting mad". You rascal, almost gave me a heart attack!

3 Reminds me of he picture Kukuruyo did of Opportunity as an anime robot girl shutting down. Very sad.

4 I started to post but was to overwhelmed by exhaustion and processing current events. 
I feel much better now.  

1 A great example of how weak vthots' sauce is, I'm sorry to say.

1 I understand they are heavy on percussion and the vocals are simple and repetitive--mostly things like "Nice Grouping!" or "Whoa!"

2 As Freud said, "Sometimes a Sig-Sauer is just a Sig-Sauer."

In other news, I have been visually contemplating everything I've eaten the last few days.

1 Glad for you!

1 I hope she recovers fully.

1 English language vtubers can sit in that burning gasoline for all I care.

1 I just asked 'If we leave the borders open, won't that allow Russian Spetsnaz troops into the US?'

The question rises since the Dems and Austrian Republicans have now given us the false choice of either leaving the border completely open or Ukraine will lose.

2 Most likely, Spetsnaz and PRC cognates have been here for years. That biology professor in (IIRC) Philadelphia who was murdered in 2020 looked to me like it was probably a PRC operation. I could simply be wildly paranoid on that point. That said, southern border has been a security disaster for decades. The known knowns have been concerning for a while. IE, civil war, failed nation, and a bunch of criminal states. Known unknowns include the question of how many of our nominal politicians are cartel employees. Legislature could easily still screw us, but there are even a few signs of optimism there. Mainly, it seems like the Republican 'leadership' does not understand what they can deliver, and the Democrats are ignorant of that.
