americans would be terrified if we knew what a "litre" was
ok i've slept on it and decided i was cooking here
there is a child-like naivety to the way business leaders approach sociopolitical problems that would be really sweet if it wasn't coming from the leader of a company with 30,000 employees and 3 billion dollars in revenue
It's about addictive game design (yess!!) And predatory monetization (fuck yessss!!)
Okay so we have a problem that needs to be solved in days for the global economy not to seize up. What if we gathered the largest tanker truck fleet in the world and sent them all barreling toward a tiny Omani fishing village that’s suddenly the biggest commercial port in the world?

Would Past Me approve of where I am? I'm listening to Paul Simon, Mark Knopfler and James Taylor and playing Slay the Spire and I'm excited about an upcoming Civilization 4 thing. Past Me would be fucking STOKED.
them winning this award is IMO a very important statement, especially on stage at GDC
Nothing is yours. It is to use. It is to share. If you will not share it, you cannot use it.
This is the best encapsulation I have seen of what it means to be trans right now.

Yes it is good to signal virtue. No that is not the height of allyship. Yes you are an asshole for scolding about how you're a great ally to people who are the sole arbiters of quality allyship that think you are being a bad ally, so you should try listening next time.
dialectics.
i cannot believe we are into year 2 of the groyper regime, the camps are open and the state is revoking id's, and we are still getting "oppressed minorities are kinda rude on the internet :/" hand-wringing
yeah we're a little tense right now, believe it or not. fucking shut the fuck up about it
Chess!
I think there is something to explore that many nations at the WBC have come showing what they love about their country (dancing, celebration, tradition) to represent the people while the American team has shown up representing and only celebrating the military
don't worry, the U.S. is fully capable of removing mines from the Strait of Hormuz, we didn't just decommission out last mine- sweepers in the area and replace them with Littoral Combat Ships (the worst boats in the fleet by wide agreement) with untested mine interdiction upgrades
ECONOMY: SHAMBLES
OIL: $300 PER BARREL

Sweeping Beam this is not. And that's not a high bar.
This is outstanding journalism
the last gasp of broadcast tv being the Sheldon Cooper Extended Universe is somehow extremely on point in some way I am too exasperated to enumerate at this time
conservative evangelicalism is the direct theological offspring of slaveholder christianity and it contains all of its pathologies, part infinity

Bahrain at Ma'ameer oil facility
Oman fuel tanks at Salalah port
US base at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait
They show no signs of slowing down, they're escalating.

I am looking forward to Strixhaven.
if transitioning didn’t change your sex they wouldn’t be trying to ban it
