we are our own worst enemy sometimes
So anyway, I don't want to beat a dead horse but this all goes back to "if you see someone saying 'this is not who we are' and it is clear that they are on your side in this moment, it's probably not the best strategy to start lecturing them about America's past horrors right now"
Pretty simple.

Years ago, I taught an NYU Game Center course on games media. It explained how everything works, from the history of the form to the ethics, the reviews to the reporting.
In 2025, I created a 5-part video version. You can now buy the entire video set for $25.

Cooking blogs are becoming increasingly unusable, especially on mobile. Sites constantly reload, the "Jump to Recipe" button is sporadic, the number of ads is insane, and the constant "cozy chat" and "hey moms!" is really off-putting. Oh for the days when every blog wasn't intended to be a JOB.

I’ve been watching a lot of Taskmaster over the past few days and am on Season 7. Everyone is delightful EXCEPT.
James Acaster is a jerk. I don’t care if it’s a “gag” or a “persona for the show”, it’s not fun watching someone be an asshole just to be an asshole.

Here is an interesting adjective quirk that you probably aren’t even aware you are doing.
