I vividly remember purchasing Final Fantasy 3 in the early 90 for $69.95. It was the first video game I purchased with my own money and it was like a years worth of allowance.

Also Lower Decks is incredible. A Star Trek show that makes fun of itself and the franchise but is still narratively driven and… entertaining.

Diplomatic immunity is a legal fiction. On whose authority does he have diplomatic immunity? It’s not some magical construct, it describes the pressure that can be exacted by the diplomat’s country were that diplomat to be detained or run afoul of some law in the host country. It’s not like there is some central overarching authority handing out Diplomatic Immunity cards. It’s based upon ad-hoc agreements between nations. South Africa can do as they please. They will have to face any potential consequences from either Russia for enforcing the ICC arrest warrant, or from the ICC for not enforcing the warrant.

The ICC doesn’t have nukes. All that said, hard to give the launch order when you are dead so lets hope for misadventure.
