“What would be wrong if they said Biden won?” Grassley [R], the 92-year-old chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was heard loudly asking his aides in a Wednesday hearing.

[...]

Grassley’s remark caught on the mic undermines his public criticisms of Democrats for asking Trump’s nominees this question at all. He opened a hearing earlier this month by lambasting Democrats for having “relentlessly attacked” the president’s nominees with this question, and suggested their questions are “political theater” with no meaningful purpose behind them.

He’s also been giving cover to Trump’s nominees’ evasive answers by arguing it’s accurate when they say Biden was “certified” as president — which is true, except he knows this is how they’ve avoided answering the basic question of who won in 2020.

My app suddenly said "your account expires in two days". Weekend was around the corner and there is no way that I could receive one of their refill vouchers in time (I use this method for privacy). I reached out to them, asking them to add a few more days to my account so that all my devices don't get deleted when my account expires. I also emphasized, that they can of course subtract that amount of days from my next refill. I sent them my account number, encrypted with PGP, and within 12 hours, they replied: I added three more days. It's on the house. Have a good day! :)

That was really nice of them. :)

Much of the waste was sent to Turkey, followed by Malaysia, with Indonesia also a regular destination. Investigations have repeatedly linked the plastic recycling industry in these countries to environmental damage, illegal dumping and burning, and labour abuses.

This was the only single swan I saw all day, clearly putting on a display to try and and earn a partner. Wish I caught the rest of this with usable photos as it proceeded to run on the water for a fantastic display.

Lawmakers in Congress are moving quickly on the GUARD Act, an age-gating bill restricting minors’ access to a wide range of online tools, with a key vote expected this week. The proposal is framed as a response to alarming cases involving “AI companions” and vulnerable young users. But the text of the bill goes much further, and could require age gates even for search engines that use AI.

If enacted, the GUARD Act won’t just target a narrow category of risky chatbots. It would require companies to verify the age of every user — then block anyone under 18 from interacting with a huge range of online systems. It would block minors from everyday online tools, undermine parental guidance, and force adults to sacrifice their privacy. In the process, it would require services to implement speech-restricting and privacy-invasive age-verification systems for everyone—not just kids.

Under the GUARD Act’s broad definitions, a high school student could be barred from asking homework help tools questions about algebra problems. A teenager trying to return a product could be kicked out of a standard customer-service chat.

Drawing Hands is a lithograph by the Dutch artist M. C. Escher first printed in January 1948. It depicts a sheet of paper, out of which two hands rise, in the paradoxical act of drawing one another into existence. This is one of the most obvious examples of Escher's common use of paradox.

The Sean O'Brien in the title obviously refers to the ancestor of Chief Miles O'Brien, though funnily enough there actually is an american labour leader callen Sean O'Brien.

That was just a very large bet and they needed to hedge their large bets

Today’s game is Halo. It’s been a hot second since I played this I feel like. Some stuff happened and it was hard to get everyone together. I was finally able to tonight though.

I tried something a little different and had my friends pick the “main” screenshot. They picked the one above because it looks like some “looney toons shenanigans” and “the one slipped on a banana”.

I can kind of see it, I didn’t really think about it in the moment when I took it though. Honestly I kind of like it. I feel like the generic action shots really don’t encapsulate what this game has come to mean to me in the time I’ve spent with it. It feels like a little piece that ultimately doesn’t showcase how I feel about it.

Speaking of how I feel: Boarding Action. All my friends hate this map. I love it. I have fond memories of playing it in middle school in Custom Edition. We’d get a big LAN party going in Wood Shop class and just dick around (instead of, yknow, cutting wood or something). Maybe it’s nostalgia but I love this map. It’s great for that. I could honestly sit there and just watch it for a while and enjoy the time. CE really has that special aesthetic.

And finally, since I’m in a rush for time, and in direct contradiction with my earlier statement about action shots, I captured this one I really liked. We were playing infection and I somehow managed to keep up with 9 Melees in a row and not die. I got this cool shoot of me meeting my friend. I may not like action shots. But this gets a pass as a cool memorial.

Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is out in early access today, April 30th 2026.
