Sadly these are the organized thoughts.

I probably post about politics too much but my shitposts are incredible.
Making it legal to tell people not to do crimes is a slippery slope to making it not legal to do crimes which could set a dangerous precedent. Imagine a world where the people in government that broke the law went to jail. That’s the world if Kamala won. Terrifying.

I think people should start specifying what they mean by AI bubble. I think a late 90s industry crash is possible, maybe even likely but people are getting gassed up enough to think we’re going to be driving the deserts killing for water when Nvidia actually drops GPU prices again.

One of those things like jumping through the woman in Sherlock Jr. where even when you know how it was done your brain just goes “magic. wizards.”
People say mean things about France in general and Michel Gondry in particular but in my esteemed opinion it was all worth it for the "Let Forever Be" video: youtu.be/s5FyfQDO5g0?...

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

It’s wild that Hollywood will greenlight “what if we did a 200 million dollar live action he-man that’s also just guardians of the galaxy” like it ain’t a thing but “we just bring back the muppet show” is like “…I dunno let’s maybe test the waters and be conservative here.”

Here is a thing:

There were several years when I was one of VERY few journalists seriously covering harassment and abuse issues in comics (and by extension sometimes video games). During that time, I became the Person People Told Things To.

I love the idea that there's a desperate interstellar alliance on the far side of the galaxy that started Eve because it desperately needed better Army Logistics Officers.
Like I think those of us that put in serious Wing Commander hours could in fact form a space navy.

We’ll find some people that played Eve for operations.

I never did play Homeworld but those folks can do strategy.

I feel like my training in the classics of Shogun Total War make me an officer tho.

big bill shakes is goated. sorry but i will never entertain the argument that he’s overrated. to write something like this and have it ring with such tremendous clarity four centuries later would be incredible if he pulled it off once but he did it dozens of times

Incredibly fucked up way to talk about her muppet show appearance, horse.
YES Sabrina Carpenter was buttfisting a goon. But that doesn’t mean you have to be mean.

I’m sure it helps that it was around the same time I totally transitioned out of my last freelance writing gigs but shutting that thing down and nuking the careers of everybody involved from orbit was when I was like “oh so journalism‘s like FUCKED fucked.”

And now the 37 step process of making an overwatch expansion while not being able to say "Overwatch 2 is an expansion pack you have to buy to keep playing the live service game" is finally complete. Excited for the announcement of Overwatch: Omega in 2027 to do it all again.
