@CptJohnBananas @gasliight @borderlands4HQ Can't search for a good Frangible anymore, because it's been removed from the game. Taken out of players' inventories, if posts on Reddit are accurate.

[Bruce Arrick @figmentPez]

@borderlands4HQ Until @DuvalMagic or @Borderlands says otherwise, I'm assuming it's a bug in the game. To me it seems like Frangible is supposed to be a weapon prefix, but it somehow spawning without a base weapon to modify.

[Bruce Arrick @figmentPez]

@DuvalMagic @Borderlands Can you clarify if "Frangible" is meant to be a legendary gun in it's own right? People are getting it as a drop, but it appears broken. Some people are saying that this is intentional, while others say it's only supposed to be a prefix. Which is it?

@hotashis Don't use flaxseed. The trend of using it is based on pseudo-science. It makes a hard seasoning, but also one that is prone to flaking. You're much better off using another oil. Canola, avocado, peanut, whatever your cooking oil of choice is.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on ABC: "This discussion about Haitians eating dogs, it's just not helpful. And again, these people are here legally. They're here legally, and they want to work, and they are, in fact, working. And when you talk to the employers, what the employers tell you is, we don't know what we would do without them. … This discussion just has to stop. We need to focus on moving forward and not dogs and cats be eaten. It's just ridiculous."

You already have Moms For Liberty on the record being explicitly happy that Trump lied about "sex change operations in schools" because it "gets people talking about this issue."

They're openly embracing lying, not even pretending its true, openly admitting they're lying.

This is another piece of evidence of how societal and economic burden of COVID, flu and other infections can be substantially reduced ❤️‍🩹💰😊. We must reject the narrative of these as an inevitable part of life. Let's clean the air, like we once learned to clean the water 💪.

Air purifiers in Finnish daycare reduced children's illnesses by 18% in a carefully controlled study. This implies huge potential for better public health and cost savings from sick leaves, with a simple intervention against airborne infections.

@pcgamer How about testing a better controller, instead? Microsoft's controller is stuck in the past with a set of buttons from over two decades ago. Want a better couch gaming experience? Support a wide variety of controllers with different inputs, like Steam Input does.

The Trumpist attack on 17-year old Gus Walz says it all: Too often, Trumpism isn’t just a political disorder. It’s a human disorder.

Of course this doesn’t apply to all or most Trump voters.

But it would be nice if more Trump voters criticized those who do revel in the cruelty.

[Transvangelical @transvangelical]

"What happened to you?"

We are the children of the parents who bully Walz' kid.

@NickPiers Superhero _series_ have time for non-villain heroing. Ms. Marvel saves a boy from falling. The Arrowverse heroes save people from accidents and disasters. Invincible features a sub-plot of Atom Eve trying to use her powers to build an inner-city playground.

[Bruce Arrick @figmentPez]

@NickPiers Arguably Guardians of the Galaxy 3 did contain a scene of heroes saving people from a natural disaster. The mid-credits scene could be interpreted as saving people from a stampede of animals (though it's not really clear if this horde is beasts or criminals.)

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

1. In an interview with ABC News, JD Vance claimed that Tim Walz signed a bill allowing the state to kidnap a child and "change their gender."

A fact check shows this is false.

Subscribe to support my journalism. Lets dig into the claim, and how it started.

Trump blames his confused, slur-filled disaster of an interview with Elon Musk on “the complexity of modern day equipment”

Sen. Bernie Sanders says Trump's lies about AI-generated crowds at Vice President Harris' Michigan rally are "laying the groundwork for rejecting the election results if he loses."

"If you can convince your supporters that thousands of people who attended a televised rally do not exist, it will not be hard to convince them that the election returns in Pennsylvania, Michigan and elsewhere are 'fake' and 'fraudulent.'"

[Bruce Arrick @figmentPez]

@PatriciaWightm7 @arenella1 A freeze with an explanation is still a freeze. The man was presented with an emergency happening in front of him, and he just locked up. If he were at all competent he would have noted why he was pausing, especially with Walz recently getting good press for doing the same thing.
