McAuliffe talking to supporters before he votes. “Donald Trump wants to use this election to get up off the mat and run in 2024.” Campaign has planted YOUNGKIN = TRUMP signs around the site. Image
Youngkin at a “Parents for Youngkin” rally at a Culpeper restaurants. “When Virginia parents make a statement in this election, it will be heard in every school board across the country.” Image
Youngkin says that McAuliffe called Biden to get the DOJ to announce that it was investigating harassment of school board members. The DOJ move has angered conservatives but the link to McAuliffe is bogus vpm.org/news/articles/…
Youngkin mentions the Ford decision to build EVs in TN and KY, which has cut against McAuliffe’s message that business wouldn’t come to Virginia under a right-wing governor. “They flew right over Virginia because they’re scared we’re going to get rid of right to work.”

The idea that the DOJ is going after "moms protesting Critical Race Theory," as JD Vance puts it, is based on a DOJ memo that doesn't mention CRT. Feels like there's been a politically convenient conflation between CRT protests and anti-max/vax protests. justice.gov/ag/page/file/1…
Obviously everybody should be skeptical when the DOJ says "we're going to investigate this," but like, check back in a month and see who's gotten a visit from the feds.
Keep in mind, conservatives are reacting to what they see as an overly permissive law enforcement response to left-wing protests, most recently the bird-dogging of Sinema etc. The feds aren't rounding up those protesters - but they're not rounding up anti-CRT parents, either.

Gmail's spam filter is very good, and obscures how much junk is still flying at us all the time. You ever check your spam folder? Mine averages one piece of junk mail per minute, not counting the stuff that sneaks through to main account by imitating some insurance quote.
It's an interesting problem - it's like society just agreed to sweep stuff under a bed or rug instead of every dealing with it. We just take for granted that scammers will bombard us with emails and calls constantly and we can maybe find a button that conceals it.
Good @Jon_Christian story about this from 2017. There was a time when a spammer could be identified and put on trial and now we just say "ah, dang" as the crap piles up. theoutline.com/post/2498/spam…

Had a fun Tuesday night.
My strategy...

1) Take Ako's Sugar, hit him with firecracker and chasing slash - then with flame vent and Living Force. Half his HP, gone. Bait him into two more flame vent/living force slashes.

2) Avoid everything in round 2, jump on him when he dives and start whacking.
I kept getting greedy during round 2 and he'd terror-scream me to death. It's about patience, unless you have enough emblems left to use the spear to yank his parasite out. (I didn't.)

Getting Clint-pilled on my commute today. Dwight Yoakam just delivered this exposition: “You remember that I had a son?” Image
More dialogue from this film that was made:

“Usually, when a woman laughs like that, a man’s fly is open.”

“That’s the one thing that’s not on the table.”
There’s a scene where Clint evades detection by police by hiding behind two boxes for a little while. It’s like Metal Gear: Arthritis.

Because you demanded it, an update: Got to his third phase three times last night (after never getting there), but got too frantic and got owned by lightning.

Recognizing his "tell" when he's doing a move you can counter was the way out of my rut.
Definitely evolved from "this is impossible" to "oh, I know how to win if I don't panic" yesterday, so thanks for the replies - that helped!
Like a lot of amateur From Software players, I find the Dragonrot thing pretty annoying, but I'll just let it build up and cure it when I finally win.

hiring Lionel Hutz and suing over this
I was trying to replace this backpack, which I really liked - good for work commute, good for a one-night or two-night work trip. I'd take advice on a replacement... rei.com/product/105921…
Anyway, I didn't pay $50 to mail the thing because I thought the "guarantee" was "we won't repair your good bag but can give you a shittier one."
