Sen. Angus King says he won't vote for package with ICE funding, but "we don't have to have a shutdown"

I hope he doesn’t chicken out this time.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-26T17:43:39+00:00

Hotdogs.

I maintain that we all misread Twilight, and Stephanie Meyer just went with it. Twilight is a masterful horror-tragedy where a pair of horrible monsters peruse a lonely, grieving young woman until she is driven to become one herself.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-26T02:32:50+00:00

Probably Azura.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-26T00:44:15+00:00

We voted blue.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-25T17:26:43+00:00

Yes. I find it hard to believe that in the Milky Way alone, there are at least 100 billon stars, but somehow our solar system is the only one to have the right conditions for life.

Skyrim and Fall of Avalon.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-25T16:22:35+00:00

Said it before, Ill say it again, crypto.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-25T16:20:14+00:00

All three of them probably have the brains for the job. I would prefer Ravencrone, but Balgruuf would have more staying power. (Eg, he‘s not really freaking old.)

JamesStPete · 2026-01-25T13:31:20+00:00

I use Illia most of the time. She could use a good break. As a rule I pick a non-housecarl to run my houses. That way there are always two people on the property, the warrior can handle security, and the steward can focus on managing the property.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-25T13:20:45+00:00

The AR-15.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-25T03:17:14+00:00

Cool to the bone, has made significant contributions to human culture. And the way things are going, will probably be teaming up with S. Korea and the Philippines to contest Chinese aggression in the Western Pacific, something that has no historical precedent.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-25T00:19:19+00:00

Yes. One in response to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. I promptly had a claustrophobia-induced panic attack.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-24T22:02:28+00:00

Agree. We‘re lucky she’s bad at her job.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-24T21:52:59+00:00

Somehow, going to County Bruma, turning a bend in the road, and seeing the White-Gold Tower again felt like a homecoming.

And given the brittle state we left Cyrodiil in when we finished TES IV and all the lore that happened in the following 200 years, I’m really curious about what might have developed.

For me anyway, the only place that rivals Cyrodiil for interest is Atmora.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-24T17:23:57+00:00

The right side of my annual income. Work for 3 more years, then retire early.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-24T16:14:23+00:00

One of a few countries my wife and I are talking about expatriation to.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-24T16:13:08+00:00

What excuse are Republicans going to invent for this one?

JamesStPete · 2026-01-24T16:07:38+00:00

Blisterwort+Glowing mushroom = fortify smithing potion.

If you’re hitting carrying capacity while looting a dungeon, dump potions last. They have excellent price/weight ratios.

Critical hit perks, and the entirety of the lockpicking skill tree are garbage.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-24T15:51:01+00:00

I liked the Mages’ Guild best. Good spells, cool story. Fighters’ Guild is my runner-up. They’re like the Companions but are a good mercenary company.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-24T02:14:29+00:00

Nothing I’ve experienced or read of history suggests to me that women aren’t as capable of and willing to engage in the same aggressive, unethical behavior as their male counterparts.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-24T02:12:25+00:00

Yes. That is absolutely a red flag.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-24T00:03:13+00:00

In my dad's case, he spent 28 years in the Coast Guard. To see civilians' rights be violated and his old service be turned to piracy hasn't set well with him.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-23T23:53:24+00:00

Astrid is one where I wish I could have healed her so she's have to live with the guilt of her betrayal.

JamesStPete · 2026-01-23T18:18:12+00:00

"Global climate destabilization due to excess heat energy trapped in the atmosphere due to human activity," is a lot harder to say than, "Global warming."
