Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson on the November 2026 midterm elections:
“If we were to lose the midterms, these Democrats will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They’ll go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, friends, half of you in this room will be targeted.”
@milmilksss Basically, the BIG complaint about DA2 was how small it is, so the devs were directed to make sure DAI felt big from the start, so the Hinterlands can literally fit all of DA2’s maps inside it three times over, so people were *obsessively* exploring it and that’s been its legacy.
@jayy_kay@OrevaZSN Because in English, we give the name “dragon” to anything that vaguely aligns with “big lizard with magic powers.” Many cultures have big scary lizards that kill and eat people and thus incorporate them into their mythologies. Carl Jung called, he wants his crackpot theories back

@queam3 Oh, interesting. I don’t think I have any animation mods for DAO. For me, Awakening won’t load after adding Velanna to my party, so maybe it’s a mod that is doing something similar that I wasn’t aware of.
@SatyrOnMars I’ve wondered the same thing. Either the algo has picked up that gay men engage with those kinds of posts more often, or the right-wing chat groups think they’ve done all the damage they need to for trans people that they can try moving back to gay people to shore up for 2028.
