I just quickly need to vent,

Here’s how Trump’s cutting of DEI is effecting my family… due to his ridiculous vendetta, my mother’s work hours have been severely cut to 3 days in March; for the entire month.

She is in a special diverse group of the DEI because she is a parent/provider of a offspring with a disability (me).

She technically also falls under and she should be protected under the ADA but, with Trump’s bullying tactics to continue to go after the ADA and all the Disabled Americans/their families… 🤷

If it wasn’t clear, Fuck Trump, Fuck the GOP, Fuck the Dems & the Supreme Court for FAILING us Americans who were counting on someone to have the knowledge and willpower to stand up to a bully! And finally fuck the US Healthcare System for continuing to prioritize money/finances over their employees and patients!

Already Eyeing the Exit? Wes Moore’s National Dreams Leave Maryland in the Rearview

Wes Moore swept into office on a wave of inspiration, charisma, and lofty rhetoric. Maryland voters were promised a new era of leadership—one rooted in service, opportunity, and inclusion. But barely a year and a half into his governorship, it’s starting to look like Moore’s heart—and perhaps his campaign team—are already somewhere else. While the state grapples with deepening problems—soaring…

Peter Principle?

… people in a hierarchy tend to rise to “a level of respective incompetence”: employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another. Wikipedia

@ my international friends and followers: I'm sorry. We tried. We really, really tried.

I kinda hope Braius gets an origin comic or a short story or something, cause I think the implications of what we know about him are really fascinating.

He's a religious refugee from the Kryn Dynasty. Maybe there's a whole sect of Kryn Platinum Dragon worshipers with their own religious rites and traditions, which could perhaps clash interestingly with Platinum Dragon worshipers in the Empire. Braius mentions the Empire's xenophobia when he's talking to Jester about what happened to him and his family- it's easy to imagine factions in the church had varying feelings on taking in refugees in the first place, and how that might have contributed to him gaining his job at a young age and then losing it and everything over a fairly minor fuck up.

This is pure speculation in that I don't actually think anything in the campaign implies specifically this (I don't think anything contradicts it either, so), but imagine Braius got promoted to head of security at a very young age as a gesture of goodwill towards a refugee population that maybe feels a bit mistreated. A gesture that's kind of empty, because they maybe specifically chose a very young man who would be easy to keep under church leadership's thumb and not actually have the confidence or experience to leverage any power granted by his station to any great effect on behalf of the other refugees. And when a very minor fuckup happens, people within that leadership who didn't ever want refugees there take the opportunity to blow it out of the water and get rid of a few undesirables.

I think the choice to make Braius a religious refugee explicitly subject to xenophobia in the land his family fled to is so fucking interesting for shit that's almost certainly not gonna get explored in any depth in game. It really ads a lot of color and texture to the God Debates if you let it percolate in your brain a little bit.

I just think he's neat. :]

Why is the anime so weird, it's not even the same series dude?? It's like,

Anime:

GOKU: I have a great idea to bring peace to the universe, and my leadership and compassion alone will unite us all. I have No Flaws and am A True Relatable Everyman :)

VEGETA: NO! I AM THE BEST AND I WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS UNTIL I AM RECOGNIZED AS SUCH!!!!

Manga:

GOKU: Vegeta what's cornmeal made of? I know it's what the corn eats, but what's it made of? VEGETA: Hey Kakarot let's play the quiet game until one of us dies.

OP-ED: The Vanishing Surplus — How Wes Moore Let Maryland’s Budget Fall Off a Cliff

Not long ago, Maryland’s finances were the envy of the region. Former Governor Larry Hogan, despite fierce opposition from a Democratic-controlled legislature, managed to keep the state’s fiscal house in order—holding the line on taxes, building a surplus, and maintaining Maryland’s AAA bond rating. His administration’s approach was simple: balance the books, spend wisely, and resist the urge to…

Ah, corporate work. Where you’re emailed a 20-page explanation of a new initiative that somehow fails to actually get to the explanation part.
