The game's development is being led by ‘Fallout: New Vegas’ director Josh Sawyer.

🚨🚨 Here's the world's richest man, Elon Musk, calling Nicholas Kristof "an utter piece of shit and a liar."
Look at what Kristof actually asked him first.
Just a simple question: we were saving a life every ten seconds, we cut it off with no time for anyone to adjust, so children died who didn't need to - and isn't it bad when children die unnecessarily?
There is no answer to that question that leaves you looking human. "No, it isn't bad" is monstrous. "Yes, and I did it anyway" is a confession. Every honest door was shut. So Musk didn't reach for an argument. There isn't one. He reached for "piece of shit."
A man proud of his work defends it. A man who calls his critic a liar, with not one fact to offer, isn't proud; he's cornered.
Let me be clear about what this is and isn't.
This isn't an argument against America First. I'm not saying America must fund the world. I'm not saying cutting waste is wrong, or that foreign aid is sacred, or that a government can't decide its own priorities. I grant all of it. Waste is real. Cutting it is legitimate. None of that is in dispute here.
This was never about whether to cut. It's about how.
There is a version of this that a serious person could have done. Review the programs. Find the waste and cut it. Wind down what doesn't work. Keep the eight-year-old on her HIV medication through the transition. Hand off to other funders with time to adjust. That's cutting. It's slow, and careful, and afraid of getting it wrong - because the person doing it understands they are holding millions of lives in their hands.
That is the weight of a decision like this. Anyone who grasps what USAID did - an agency a Lancet study credits with preventing more than 90 million deaths - moves carefully, because the cost of moving carelessly is measured in human lives. Most of us, handed that, would feel the burden of it. We'd agonise. We'd run the scenarios, weigh the harm, look for the version that cut the waste without losing the child.
Is there any sign Musk felt one ounce of that weight?
He got a chainsaw. He put on the cap and the dark glasses and walked on stage like a rock star, vamping for the cameras. He posted about the parties he skipped to do it. He handed the job to a team with no expertise in aid, no evidence of waste presented, and let them hack the whole thing into a wood chipper over a weekend.
And now that the dead have names - Yamah Freeman, who died in childbirth when the diesel for the ambulances stopped; Achol Deng, eight, whose HIV medicine ran out; the children Kristof went to the villages and heard their parents' stories first hand - his answer is that the reporter is a liar.
Here is the part that should reach even those who cheered the cut. America First means protecting Americans. During an Ebola outbreak, as the agency was gutted, his appointees stopped the screening of US-bound air passengers - the people flying onward into American airports. That didn't put America first. It left the front door open during an outbreak. You could have voted for every dollar of it and still see that this was not what you were promised.
Because there is a difference between "we shouldn't be the world's charity" and "it's fine that children died." The first is a position millions of decent people hold in good faith. The second is where the chainsaw took them. Most people who voted for the first did not vote for the second.
I'm not going to reach for a clinical word. I don't need one, and neither do you. Watch what Elon does when the exits are shut, and call it whatever you think it is.
But I'll say this much, and I'll flag it as a moral judgment and not a legal one: to hold in your hands an agency that kept 90 million people alive, and to end it with a chainsaw and a grin and no visible weight at all - that belongs, morally, in the company of the great crimes. Not because a court would say so. Because a conscience would.
Why can't the man who cut the aid own the decision?
Why cry that Kristof is a liar if the work was righteous?
Where is Mr. Chainsaw now, when the names of the dead arrive?
Not a single Democrat or self-proclaimed moderate should vote to confirm anybody to the Supreme Court over the next two years. And if you have a problem with that, blame Mitch McConnell.
@BradS44w@AnaKasparian@Israel2252 Fuck you and your "hateful rhetoric" nonsense. God you pussies are such insufferable cowards. Thousands of children murdered and you're here tone policing someone literally calling out one of the murderers. Fuck! Calling genocide a 'controversy'. Fuck you

Dead internet theory has taken over
Every day on here it’s just the same recycled shit, same interaction bait posts with the same quote tweets that have blown up a million times
Comment sections full of bots reposting the top reply over and over. This app is fried
Shinohara truly understands the source material and the direction shows it, conveying a lot through expressions alone like this scene. the contrast between Emilia's shock, Subaru's oblivious innocence not processing the danger yet, and Julius’s aggression is truly my fav thing.
Hello @NintendoAmerica , I am confused and frightened. This video has made me unlikely to purchase one of your products ever again.

I have waited years for someone to challenge this nonsense phrase on mainstream media. An indictment of the liberal PEP media that it took Tucker Carlson to do it. And he undeniably did it well.
