loving how many games have come out in the past handful of years abt labor violations and attitudes towards lower class working people, but i don't love being reminded that the average fan seems to think it's just a general throwaway concept to amp up the tension rather than direct commentary and the central point of many of them =_=💢

Also, it's unsurprising to me how Mephiles offered Shadow a chance by his side not once but twice--you fight SO many of Mephiles and Iblis' underlings in Crisis City & Flame Core, he was probably watching from the sidelines with headgears turning. Because he despises Shadow, but not enough to disrespect him because damn can he kick ass.

What is a Blast Freezer?

You can enjoy your favourite butter chicken at its best quality because restaurants use blast freezers to maintain it.

So, how exactly does this freezer preserve food items? It rapidly reduces the temperature of perishable foods such as chicken, poultry, and fish, which in turn slows down their metabolic processes and increases their shelf life.

Blast Freezer for Chicken and Poultry

Most big food brands serve a wide range of meat items. This may include chicken, fish, poultry and other food products. It is essential to protect these foods from bacterial contamination and maintain their optimal quality.

This is where the blast freezer comes into the picture! It can inhibit bacterial growth and preserve nutritional value by rapidly lowering the temperature of those meat products. 

It helps maintain the texture and taste of chicken, poultry, and other stored food items.

Consequently, it increases shelf life of food and reduces spoilage, which contributes to cost savings for food businesses.

How this Freezer Works

A blast freezer consists of primary components such as evaporators, fans, temperature sensors, and control systems. 

While evaporators rapidly make the interiors cold by removing heat from the freezer, the high-velocity fans do the job of spreading the cool air evenly. The sensors monitor the freezing levels and the control system takes care of temperature and airflow.

By maintaining temperatures extremely low, blast freezers ensure optimum texture, flavour, and longevity for frozen poultry products.

Features of a Blast Freezer:

Designed to handle extreme cold, with temperatures dropping as low as -80°C

Built using high-grade stainless steel, both inside and out, for durability and a sleek finish

Insulated with polyurethane foam and equipped with a hot gas defrost system to maintain performance

Fitted with a powerful, efficient fan to ensure consistent and reliable cooling throughout

Continuing Ninjargon translations, now on DR S1E2

The painting to the left of Arin:

Ninja never quit

I was actually expecting this to be the same as the "Control Time Control everything" reference thing in the flashback, but I guess not.

The sails:

Sail

It is mirrored (I'm guessing because of the sail it's on), but it literally just says "Sail". Which is different from the sails on the set, which translate to "Wind".

The flags at the back:

Fortune

It's also mirrored, but since it's read vertically rather than horizontally, it's not quite so bad. This translation is also different than the one on the set, which just says "Ninja".

Honestly, I prefer the show translation for it. Both because 1) fortune/destiny somewhat seem to just be on the ninja's side (heavy on the somewhat. At least they generally win their battles). And 2) fortune is going to send that Bounty down pretty fucking quick because it's a hater

Now here's what I thought I was looking at earlier

Painting to the left of Lloyd:

ontrol time control everything

The thing, that plus Rapton's figure, made everyone think at least one of the Time Twins are returning.

Though I'm not sure if the first "C" is actually missing, or if we just can't see it due to the angle of the camera.

There was a lot less Ninjargon this episode, mostly due to the fact that it was mainly just in the Monastery, on the Bounty, or in the Land of Three Mountains, which of course won't have any Ninjargon.

I drew some Orovoro faces, I'm not fully satisfied with them just yet. Figuring out coloring them right will be important because the species emote using chromatophores. These pictures are already wrong because I've decided to not have them use facial expressions at all.

Black: Aggression-Hostile

Red: Aggression-Social

Orange: Annoyance

Yellow: Fear, Stress-Immediate

Green: Happiness-Satisfaction

Blue: Happiness-Excitement/Arousal

Purple: Laughter Equivalent

Brown: Stress-Ongoing, Illness, Exhaustion

Gray/Tan: Tiredness, Boredom

Pastels: Severe Intoxication

White: Seizure/Medical Shock

They usually turn a blotchy mix of green, gray, and tan when they are asleep. Red and Black are different because Red means aggressive as in "competitive/dominant" and Black means aggressive as in "might commit a murder".

Green, Tan, and Gray are their usual colors, while other colors typically don't appear for more than a few minutes at a time. These chromatophores have different expanded/contracted defaults. When an Orovoro suffers from a seizure or goes into medical shock, it causes all of their chromatophores to contract and turn their skin a semitransparent, milky white color. An Orovoro can contract all of its chromatophores deliberately, but this is usually only done while undergoing medical checks to help their doctor examine their veins and organs.

Orovoro can control their colors deliberately in much the same way that a human can ontrol their facial expressions. Some being better at it than others.

MEET MY PARTY!

PJO OCs Edition

Part 2

> Millicent "Millie"

Godly parent: Bacchus

Pronouns: she/her

Age: 17

Fatal flaw: Impertinent

Weapon: just her sarcasm

Powers: general magic, manipulation of the Mist. Special ontrol over plants with sweet fruits (grapes, strawberries, apples, cherry...)

Personality: kind of a meanie, mocking and sarcastic. Surprinsingly persuasive and good at bossing around. But, at the bottom of her heart, she really cares for her friends and "sisters" of Eea. She's just too shy and proud to let people know that.

Millie was trained by Lupa and, eventually, got into Camp Jupiter like the average roman demigod. She heard stories from previous pretors, Reyna... And how before New Rome she was living at Circe's.

The idea of learning magic was more appealing than the military training. So one day, she decided to steal a small boat and sail searching for the sorcerer's island. The journey wasn't easy, but she managed to arrive alive.

Circe accepted Millie as her apprenditice due to her high potential in the magic field. She was the only student under her wing, along with Leandro a son of Hekate that arrived shortly after.

Millie and Lea shared most of their lessons, activities and spaces. But not gladly. When they weren't shouting or taunting eachother they seemed to form a really good team (even tho the gigantic academical rivalry between them). They had a similar relationship pf two siblings that grew up together, but you'll never hear it from their mouths.

Eventually they had to leave the island, as a trial. During that time, Millie searched for her mortal mother, hoping to make up for the lost time. Unfortunately, when Lupa took Millicent as a kid her mother reported her dead. She was glad that Millie was missing and used this oportunity to start her new life somewhere else with a new husband and new family. She was very clear when she said that didn't want Millie back. That was enough to make her go back to Eea, with no intention to ever return to the "mortal world". Millie would spend the rest of her days next to Circe.

At present, she is no more the sorcerer's student, even if Millie still considers herself one. In academic terms she has already "graduated". Now she spends her days helping Circe with any tasks, taking care of the island and, sometimes, teaches magic to the new students. Without any doubt, Millie is now the priviliged Circe's right hand. She's totally in love with Eea, and will do ANYTHING to keep the island and her "sisters" safe.

Extra

Not long before their graduation, Leandro and Millie took part in a ritual very well known among witches and sorcerers for being the only one with which someone can summorn the familiar that will acompanny them for the rest of their lifes. The ingredients are hard to find and the only way to do it is with another witch. But something went wrong.

Lea's familiar energy absorbed Millie's, "eating it". So she was left without any familiar at the end of the ritual. This is completely a shame for her. At the end of all, what kind of respectable witch doesn't have a magic familiar?

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

February 13, 2025

Heather Cox Richardson

Feb 14, 2025

Four years ago today, on February 13, 2021, Senate Republicans acquitted former president Donald Trump of incitement of insurrection in his second impeachment trial. Although 57 senators, including 7 Republicans, voted to convict Trump for launching the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, that vote did not reach the threshold of 67 votes—two thirds of the Senate—necessary to convict a president in an impeachment trial.

After the trial, Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) explained his refusal to convict by saying he did not believe the Senate could convict an ex-president, although McConnell had been instrumental in delaying the impeachment trial until Trump was out of office, perhaps out of concern about dividing the Republican Party between pro-Trump MAGAs and his own establishment wing. McConnell acquitted Trump but, after the vote, blamed Trump alone for the events of January 6, calling his behavior “unconscionable” but adding: “We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation. And former Presidents are not immune from being held accountable by either one.”

Four years later, Trump is back in the White House, and today McConnell provided the only Republican vote against confirming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to become the secretary of health and human services, just as yesterday he provided the only Republican vote against the confirmation of Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence.

Of Kennedy’s confirmation, Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) said to his colleagues: “It’s truly astounding that the Senate stands on the brink of confirming Mr. Kennedy to lead America’s public health agencies. And if the Senate weren’t gripped in this soon-to-be infamous period of total capitulation, I don’t think this nominee would have made it as far as a hearing…. If I’d told you a couple of years ago, ‘There’s a guy who’s been nominated to run public health nationwide. His job will be to protect American families from death and disease. He’s going to run the whole public health system: Medicare, Medicaid, the C[enters] for D[isease] C[ontrol and Prevention], the N[ational] I[nstitutes of] H[ealth]—all of it. He’ll decide how we protect the country from infectious disease, he’ll set the rules for every hospital in the country, he’ll decide what healthcare and medicines get covered by Medicare, he’ll manage our response in the event of a pandemic.’ And then I told you,… ‘Well,... there are a few concerns about this nominee. First of all, zero relevant experience. He’s a trial lawyer, a politician from a famous family. No medical or scientific background, he’s never run a hospital or a health system or anything like that. Second of all… he’s said some pretty wild stuff about public health, over and over and over again, like: he proposed that Covid-19 might be ‘ethnically targeted’ to spare Jews. Ethnically targeted to spare Jews. He said Lyme disease was a military bioweapon. For years he’s been persuading American families against routine childhood immunizations. He’s compared the work of the CDC to ‘Nazi death camps.’... If a couple of years ago I told you all that, and I told you that the Senate was about to put America’s health in this man’s hands, you’d probably tell me the Senate has lost its mind.”

All the Senate Republicans but McConnell voted to confirm Kennedy.

But while Senate Republicans are enabling the Trump administration, a significant revolt against it took place today in New York City and Washington, D.C., when at least six prosecutors resigned in protest after Emil Bove III, the acting deputy attorney general of the Department of Justice, ordered them to dismiss corruption charges against New York City mayor Eric Adams.

In September 2024, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York indicted Adams on five counts of wire fraud, campaign finance offenses, and bribery. According to then–U.S. attorney Damian Williams, “Adams abused his position as this City’s highest elected official…to take bribes and solicit illegal campaign contributions. By allegedly taking improper and illegal benefits from foreign nationals—including to allow a Manhattan skyscraper to open without a fire inspection—Adams put the interests of his benefactors, including a foreign official, above those of his constituents.”

But on February 10, 2025, Bove directed acting interim U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York Danielle Sassoon, who was elevated by the Trump administration just last month, to dismiss the charges against Adams. That same day, Adams told top New York City officials to stay out of the way of immigration enforcement and to refrain from criticizing President Trump.

Yesterday, February 12, Sassoon wrote an 8-page letter of protest to Attorney General Pam Bondi about the order to drop charges against Adams, but to keep open the possibility of future prosecution. She noted that “the evidence against Adams…proves beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed federal crimes” and suggested that Bove and the Trump administration proposed “dismissing the charges against Adams in return for his assistance in enforcing the federal immigration laws.” “[T]he rule of law depends upon the evenhanded administration of justice,” Sassoon wrote, and the “legal judgments of the Department of Justice must be impartial and insulated from political influence.”

“But Adams has argued in substance—and Mr. Bove appears prepared to concede—that Adams should receive leniency for federal crimes solely because he occupies an important public position and can use that position to assist in the Administration's policy priorities.” Sassoon called Adams’s offer of help to the Trump administration “an improper offer of immigration enforcement assistance in exchange for the dismissal of his case.” She recounted a meeting on January 31 with Bove, Adams’s lawyers, and members of her office, in which Adams’s lawyers repeatedly offered an exchange, “indicating that Adams would be in a position to assist with the Department’s enforcement priorities only if the indictment were dismissed.” Bove ordered the confiscation of notes of the meeting taken by a member of Sassoon’s team.

“Because the law does not support a dismissal, and because I am confident that Adams has committed the crimes with which he is charged,” Sassoon wrote, “I cannot agree to seek a dismissal.” She continued: “I remain baffled by the rushed and superficial process by which this decision was reached, in seeming collaboration with Adams’s counsel….” But if Attorney General Bondi was unwilling to meet or reconsider the dismissal, Sassoon wrote, she was “prepared to offer my resignation.”

Today, in a defensive 8-page letter, Bove attacked Sassoon and accepted her resignation, claiming she was “pursuing a politically motivated prosecution,” and dismissed her suggestion “that you retain discretion to interpret the Constitution in a manner inconsistent with the politics of a democratically elected President and a Senate-confirmed Attorney General.”

Bove transferred the Adams case to the Public Integrity Section (PIN) in the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. Rather than dismiss the case, the chief of the Public Integrity Section and the senior career official in the Criminal Division, as well as three of the deputy chiefs at PIN, also resigned. A fourth was giving birth, but Ryan J. Reilly of NBC News reported that she was expected to resign when she was able.

Today, Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro sued the Trump administration to guarantee the release of more than $3 billion allocated to Pennsylvania’s state agencies. Shapiro noted that multiple federal judges have ordered administration officials to release the funding they have impounded, but that funding has not been restored. The lawsuit details the programs funded with federal money, including repairing abandoned mining lands and contaminated waterways, plugging abandoned oil and gas wells, upgrading energy efficiency for up to 28,000 low-income households to lower utility bills, and so on.

The lawsuit reiterates that “unilaterally suspending funds…violates the U.S. Constitution,” which gives Congress alone the power to write the laws that appropriate funding.

Also today, U.S. District Judge Amir Ali ordered the Trump administration to disburse the foreign aid it has impounded. As Lindsay Whitehurst and Ellen Knickmeyer of the Associated Press note, the judge rejected the administration's argument that it impounded funds to review each program. He said officials “have not offered any explanation for why a blanket suspension of all congressionally appropriated foreign aid, which set off a shockwave and upended reliance interests for thousands of agreements with businesses, nonprofits, and organizations around the country, was a rational precursor to reviewing programs.”

Edith Clark, 29 (USA 1971)

New York had just legalized abortion when Edith Clark traveled out of state from her home in Newark, New Jersey to Sparkill, New York. She went to the office of abortionist Robert Livingston on June 24, 1971 for a completely legal suction curettage abortion at approximately 9 weeks.

Shortly after Edith was anesthetized with an IV combination of fentanyl, Innovar and atropine, her blood pressure became undetectable. Resuscitation efforts failed. She went into cardio-respiratory arrest and died. Her death was thought to be due to an abnormal reaction to Innovar. However, before Edith’s death, the state had further loosened its abortion regulations to allow abortions outside of hospitals. This posed a greater risk to the client, and it’s possible that the resources and on-site emergency care of a hospital might have saved her.

Edith was the first recorded maternal death by legal abortion in Rockwell County after New York’s early legalization of abortion. She would not be the last.
