“This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze. It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo,” she wrote. “Why? To end any confusion created by the court’s injunction. The President’s EO’s on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented.”

In saying this, however, Leavitt gave an opening for a large coalition of Democratic state attorneys general suing to permanently block the order to tell a federal judge that they needed a restraining order against the administration.

”In court just now, the states are introducing @PressSec tweet saying the funding freeze is still active as evidence that their lawsuit should continue," reported Politico’s Kyle Cheney. U.S. Chief District Judge John McConnell granted the states’ request, saying the “hugely ambiguous” withdrawal of the OMB memo is irrelevant "based on comments by the president’s press secretary.”

Emphasis mine

I really hope this goes somewhere…

Today, I’m playing the original devil may cry (ps2 via emulation, so smoothed and upscaled). I’m all in on retro/classics this month, as it reminds me of my mid-late teen years, and these enhanced games look pretty good actually.

It’s kinda short, and pretty good overall, but I really can’t recommend it. The controls are absolutely awful; static camera with frequent angle shifts, and character controls that require changing movement direction with every camera angle change, even while fighting, is just… very very bad coming from playing more modern stuff.

If it had a dynamic camera, even a poorly placed or inverted one, the game would be quite good. Instead it’s super frustrating.
