Warrior Nun on Netflix. Decent if a bit underwhelming effects wise.

The unbearable oppression of mild inconvenience.

A recent poll indicates a pretty unified Dem electorate this time around. Sanders primary voters support Biden 87-4, and Warren voters support Biden 96-0 over Trump. In 2016, 12% of Sanders primary voters voted for Trump over Clinton.

ICU hospitalizations reportedly lag positive test results by up to 3 weeks, so the uptick seems correlative here. I'd expect to see an uptick in deaths no later than mid-July, this being the previous pattern. If you are correct, any uptick might be subdued or reduced.

The wealth taxes proposed generally don't kick in until you get to wealth levels that are pretty "tangible"(e.g., over 50 million dollars).

Spoiled for tragic event but ironic name

Noteworthy that subgenres and sub-sub-genres mean that something completely covered by a 3 point skill in one genre might expand to 300 points of options and special abilities in a sub-sub-genre. That is one way to keep everyone from buying Combat Driving to 20 or less. Give them lots of options that make it clear they won't have comprehensive mastery of all things automotive and driving related any time soon.

I'm a firm advocate for applying The Chicago Way to situations like this. If Russia pays the Taliban to kill our troops, we pay the Kurds and other rebels to collect Russian heads, attached or otherwise.

The tough part is boxing it up and waiting for UPS to pick up the bad universe and the interminable wait for the replacement universe.

The impetus for this was actually the problematic portrayal of orcs and drow. The latter especially. A dark skinned race that's inherently evil? As I understand it, many non playable races such as demons may remain "evil". So I'll never get to play my noble Balor-din. Dang it.

I can't really see the alignment system as currently constituted surviving this. Perhaps some alternative Outlook/Philosophy system?

TOO SOON

The most disturbing thing is that this was only picked up via random accidental recording and we have no idea how many cops say stuff like this as a matter of routine. But it's obviously non-zero and not necessarily a rare or uncommon sentiment. Things need to change.
