Just watched a single movie.

In other news a NY Lawmaker wants to make it a crime to call the police on a person of color who isn't actually doing anything illegal and charge the caller with a hate crime.

Isn't harassment already a crime?

I believe that a lot of laws are passed to try to outlaw people being ASSHOLES. It won't work.

This Pocket news feature thing on Firefox is really quite good. It just shows a lot of content that i want to read.

Apparently one of the players lost and started shooting. It's pretty brutal.

I kind of want to comment about McCain... but it would be rather harsh, and I don't know that peeps want to see/hear it. >.>

Politics are pretty much banned.

Linking a news article is one thing.

[tirendir]

Yeah.. and the term "politics" is often so poorly defined that an aweful lot of things are dumped under that umbrella, whether actually political or not, so I suppose I'll just refrain.

Yeah, it's popular though. League of Legends is also a bad game and so is Fortnite.

I know OF those two, but don't know them. Madden I know from decades ago, but haven't heard of anyone playing it in forever. Had no idea it had any kind of following.

@scottalanmiller It is the most popular sports game of all time. Yearly releases for 25 years.
