Continuing to play Polychroma's narrative adventure game Until Then until my eyes bleed and I love it so, so much. ❤️
The expressiveness of the #pixelart is really special. The writing is genuinely great and punchy. The narrative-driving minigames are so charming.
Can't wait to keep playing.

Russia-Ukraine peace talks are a farce.
The latest attempt in Turkey failed for the same predictable reason.
Russia pretends it is interested in peace, to pretend that Russia's war isn't Russia's fault.
The US pretends that Russia is interested in peace, to pretend that Trump is a neutral peacemaker.
And Ukraine pretends that the US under Trump is pursuing a real, lasting settlement, trying to show (yet again) that Russia, not Ukraine, is the obstacle to peace.

Grüne und BSW kritisieren Israels Vorgehen
Grüne und BSW haben das militärische Vorgehen Israels im Gazastreifen mit deutlichen Worten kritisiert. Die anhaltende Blockade von Hilfslieferungen in den Gazastreifen sowie die erneute Ausweitung der Kampfhandlungen seien "inakzeptabel", sagte Grünen-Parteichefin Franziska Brantner.

personally I want a choice. Often I do chose to go though website to avoid long line. So having the option perfect solution for me.
However I can't stand when the only option is to download some stupid, barely working, 2 out of 5 stars app that is full of spyware and requires access to camera, location, contacts and your first-born child.
The managers who comes with these app ideas should be publicly shamed.
House Republicans are pressing forward with a plan to cut billions from SNAP—a critical nutrition program—by forcing states to shoulder more of the cost.
The move threatens benefits for roughly 42 million low-income Americans in both red AND blue states.

I boosted a message saying: "SupremeCourt just blocked Trump from using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan immigrants without due process for now. A 7-2 decision. #ClarenceThomas and #SamuelAlito #dissent."
It is interesting to me that the two most corrupt Supreme Court Justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, were the only ones to dissent. #ethics #politics

I doubt Kid Rock has anything to fear except he now has to pay real wages to keep his bar open. (I’ve been there - nice place. Impressive show.)
This is what I am saying: Republicans say they want a secure border, but also want to employ undocumented and underpaid workers. This little show will pass as soon as these donors make some calls.
