Yesterday, I took some “me” time playing a solitaire game series I own most of – and the newer the game in the series, the more bells and whistles. Every hand you play, you earn three things – stars, gems, and coins. You can use the coind for buying power-ups, like extra “undo” use per hand, or more cards, or more coins, or wild cards. With the gems you can buy bits and pieces of a scene, which when you hye played all the hands in that scene, you have a potential wallpaper f you wish to use it. The stars are one of many ways you ca earn “trophies’ which are just for bragging rights. There are also obstacles, like chained cards, cards tied with silk ribbons, cards covered with plant growth, and more. The farther you get into each game, the more potential obstacles – and the newer the game, the more possible obstacles you can encounter. So there is more strategy involved than just one hand at a time. Each game has 200 hands (not counting extra variants such as classic solitaires or “Mah Jong” boards) , and each scene requires about 40 hands to “build.” It can really take my mind off just about anything, and yesterday, I needed some of that. In fact, I apparently needed it so much I forgot to hit “Publish.” Sorry to be so late.
I maybe should mention that in my cartoon, “We” means us. Everyone here tried. And feel free to share it widely anywhere It might do some good.
From The Intercept. What makes this violence – and all violence based on arrogance so peculiarly disgusting is the fact that the pond scum committing the violence (probably “just following orders” but having way too much fun doing it) are so many orders of magnitude lesser human being than those who they are looking down on and violating that it’s nor really possible to put it into words, and least of all words they might understand. “Pond scum” doesn’t really even come close. And I cannot wrap my head around what to call the individuals from whom these degenerates are getting their deranged orders.
Wonkette did a roundup of ICE horrors in general. I confess to not being able to finish reading it. If you can manage it, it’s fairly comprehensive.
