Reema Dodin, a girl (now woman) I was friends with in elementary school/junior high/high school, is now deputy director of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs. She is the highest ranking Palestinian-American women ever to work in the executive branch, and assisted Dick Durbin on the Senate floor for years.

“For years, my person on the Senate floor has been this woman. This amazing woman. I am grateful for her service to the Senate, her service to the people of Illinois and to our nation,” the Democratic senator said. “I know that she’ll be a tremendous asset to President Biden, and to the nation. In these divided times it’s rare to find a public servant like Reema, whose excellence and integrity is so widely admired on both sides of the aisle. No one understands better than Reema how this Senate works,” Durbin added.

I am so, so happy for her.

Trump lawyer Giuliani faces $1.3 billion lawsuit over 'big lie' election fraud claims

hahahahaha I hate this P.O.S and considering he made 20K a day making those bogus fraud claims and inciting the Capital Riot I hope they get it. Yes I know its unlikely but I do find it funny.

I would say that the trailer might've shown a bit too much of the action, but beyond that mild critique, holy mothertrucking crap.

Waking up to a beautiful, calm morning after a night of heavy rain. It's been cloudy the past few days where I live and I love it.

Caught a glimpse of a Red-breasted Nuthatch at my birdfeeder and managed to find it again hopping about the trees. Gosh it's been, what, 7-8 years now since I've seen one? I was beginning to think they had left my local ecosystem entirely. I checked on Audubon's website afterwards and it turns out their year-round/winter range has shifted a bit since my busted old field guide, so it looks like they're only winter guests now. Still I'm happy to know they're out there, looking forward to spying them again in the future.

Nice! I have those in my area, too, but I don't see them often. Or at least don't recognize them when I do; they're kind of nondescript from a distance, and I probably mistake them for their smaller brown-headed cousins, which I see all the time. Last time I had bird feeders active they made pretty regular appearances, but it's been about two years since I took the old feeders down. I'll have to get new ones up soon, I miss them.

Ooh, never seen those, range doesn't extend far enough. It's easier for me to tell the Red-breasted apart from other birds because the only species with similar mannerisms is the White-breasted Nuthatch, which is almost twice the size. Definitely put them back up if you can, I stopped refilling mine consistently for a few months and yeah, life got a lot less vibrant. Probably need to replace my wooden feeder though, the birds are starting to crack seeds and peck for insects in the gap between the roof boards.

I've been trying to make thumbnails for Death Battle for.. about a good month now after i learned about Google Drawings. I'm not too proud of most of them, but this one? Perfect renders, plus nice background= something great! Plus the fact it's a match i really love: Anti-Spiral (Tegen Toppa Gurren Lagaan) vs. Anti-Monitor! (DC Comics)

Beat Demon's Souls on the PS5! That was one hell of a ride. Easily one of the most challenging games I've ever completed, definitely between this and Dead Space 2 on Zealot difficulty; unless you want to talk old school, then Castlevania or Super Mario Bros 3 on NES might take the cake. It was the perfect game for me, one that challenged me to improve without frustrating me so much that I just threw my controller down and quit. I want to go back and give Dark Souls another shot now. Previously, I haven't been a fan of the Souls games, but I enjoyed Demon's Souls so much that it's made me open to giving them a second chance. Might start with Bloodborne, since that's the only other one I own. Hopefully, I'm "gud" enough now...

Bloodborne or Dark Souls is a good place to start post Demon Souls! I think though that since Dark Souls is more technically similar to demon it'll be easier starting that out. I hate to tell you this, but Demon souls is generally considered the easiest.

I'm thinking of downloading Dark Souls Remastered but I'm hesitant to spend $40 right now. Maybe when I get my next paycheck...

Interestingly, my friend who first got me to try Dark Souls a few years back thinks the difficulty order is: Dark Souls 3 > Bloodborne > Demon's Souls > Dark Souls > Dark Souls 2 > Sekiro. But most other people I've talked to seem to think Bloodborne is the hardest. Have you played that one through?

Went on a walk with my family through the snow-drenched neighborhood last night. It was just what I needed to end the day.

I met a kid I’d acquainted in Germany when I had a vacation there 4 years ago. Turned out he moved to Australia in 2018. We met at a cafe, and at first we didn’t take notice but then we recognised each other. It was a joyous time.

Got my shipping email from BBTS, my order is waiting for carrier pickup.

Oh, and the dentist didn't find any cavities, that's cool too.
