Cyberpunk, Redux

I deliberately cleared my schedule yesterday so that I could play the new video game Cyberpunk 2077 all day.  I wound up playing pretty much all day today, too. The game was only released just yesterday, and I've already logged some 22.8 hours of game time.

I'm sure nothing newsworthy occurred while I was immersed in my virtual retreat. 

• "Supreme Court Rejects Texas Lawsuit To Overturn Georgia Election Results."  Fuck you, Texas,  You always were a headache and you always were a bore. And your football teams still suck.


• "FDA Approves Pfizer Vaccine for Emergency Use."  Yesterday, 2,923 Americans died from covid-19.  Let's no hurt our arms patting ourselves on the back for too little covid response too late.


• "Senate Overwhelmingly Approves Defense Bill Renaming Confederate Bases, Overriding Trump's Chances To Veto."  Hah, hah, "good people on both sides," indeed.


• "55% in New Fox News Poll Say US Is Worse Off That It Was 4 Years Ago." Somehow, as the Fox hosts will spin it, it's all Obama and Biden's fault.


• "Trump Is Desperate To Avoid Rape Accuser E. Jean Carroll in Court."


• "QAnon Supporting GOP Candidate From Louisiana Arrested for Child Pornography."  They always seemed obsessed with kiddie porn.

The world is an ugly, dystopian place.  I'm going back to my games.
