In this context, I highly recommend reading @panievsky.bsky.social ‘s research on how liberal Israeli journalists’ professional norms were weaponized against them and came to serve populism.

I didn’t play bloodborne really so I can’t say. But yes, until you figure out the new scaling system it’s rough and the bosses are way more aggressive. Very common that you can’t summon at the start of a fight without at least taking one punish. I’m using way more tools this time.

I wrote a book on the 19th century Supreme Court and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad Roger Taney who infamously wrote in Dred Scott v Sanford that enslaved & free Black people had "no rights which the white man was bound to respect." I agree with Bouie that Roberts is comparably bad.
