The wait is nothing, though I guess the definition of "active development", publicly confirmed development etc... To my knowledge HL3 has been in some form of development since, HL2, but to my knowledge there's only been "leaks" rather than any official confirmation, and the joke teaser as valve goes to game event after game event without making announcements.

Pay no attention to Laura Ingram, we purposely trained her wrong... as a joke
Kind of the constant history of socialism. It's almost the same as the arguement against being LGBT.
See being LGBT is bad, I can prove it, look at the suicide rates of LGBT people?
Isn't that because you are bullying them?
Yeah, but I wouldn't bully them if they were straight, so that proves being LGBT is bad for your health!
I can give that on Isreal, she takes anti-semitism without the caveat of "except the ones that are in power commiting a genocide". The release the epstein files, and protect healthcare, is either she's actually concerned about helping people or punishing bad guys... or she's just pissed off with something in her party and is playing a contrarian to get something she wants (which yeah, I'd lean more towards the second, but general bigotry doesn't quite explain those 2).
Guessing middle class is... college students with rich AF parents that pay to fly them home... and people really well set, but not quite in the private jet level.
Saves us the trouble of needing to primary an incumbant moderate. Give us a good democratic socialist.
I mean it's a trippple doom for her. She's a woman, she's half way shedding maga siding with dem's on the epstein files, and on protecting healthcare, and she has a history of being outright crazy in multiple directions.
In short, I don't think her recent forays into sanity are going to erase the stain the R party has on it now, nor erase her claims of weather controlling machines and space lasers to earn any support from the left.
Then to court maga... obviously they'd need to be less sexist, and she'd need to seem more... on trumps side.
I think AOC's comment is probably right, she got snubbed for senate seat by trump... and now she's pissed and wanting to break that glass ceiling.
Bigger thing here "testing nuclear weapons on an equal basis"...
equal basis to what? nobodys fucking testing them because digital simulations are pretty damn accurate, and nukes are so powerful no matter where we drop it, it's going to wreck the hell out of the wildlife and usually some group of poor people.
Unless he's just talking about launching empty ICBM's like north korea does etc...
Only the media made the mistake of thinking that was negative in his mind.
So hilarious and so apt... I will absolutely laugh at the idea of, well what's effectively been a socialist utopia for the vast majority of contexts in it, and the show that broke the interracial kiss barrier. (on top of inter species/galaxy ones... but obviously far more shocking at the time that a white guy kissed a black woman, than a white guy sleeping with a bunch of green aliens.
Yeah there's a lot of benefits to multiverse with regards to sci-fi and fantasy. Most obvious is allowing multiple writers to work on the same series yet take it in multiple directions and not need to be perfectly synced or needing to care about contradictions.
Also allowing a 3rd author to basically do a best of taking elements from both incompatible universes (either via universal travel, or just make a different universe where things happened in a way to allow the events/characters they wanted from both other plots), and lastly a "what if things went wrong". IE the common plot point of the characters getting to see a universe where, they did things differently or didn't exist, and allow them to compare their world with that world. Which admitted is a fantasy we all have in our own rights, both on small level (What if I didn't break up with my first crush) or global level ("what if japan didn't bomb the US in WW2").
Even better part of your statement... it checks out theologically. The bible actually specifically says that Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light. and it specifically predicts the antichrist specifically will convince people that he is holy, and people who think they are doing god's work will follow him.
