Folks pretend that these two things can't be simultaneously true: Trump is a worse all up person/politician AND that the Dems would have been equally as bad on this issue, and made that, as you said, abundantly clear. The lesser of two evils is still evil, etc., etc. Genocide is still genocide.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

I’m speaking very generally here but I think a lot of video game enjoyers would benefit from “I wonder what purpose it servers for the writers to make this choice” rather than “I didn’t like this so it just sucks and they should change it”

"We're having trouble filling this role."
In 2024, after like 18,000 game devs have been laid off in the last year, and you're having trouble FILLING a role?
No you're not. You're having trouble with 1. paying people what they are worth. 2. Not forcing them to move thousands of miles.
That's it.

Talking with the veterans and if there is one thing that being in gamedev for a long time has taught me it’s that being called ‘difficult’ is what happens when you need resources and information to do your job and they don’t want to give it to you

Half a million people in London right now. Jewish activists in New York last night. Polls in both countries overwhelmingly support a ceasefire in Gaza. Cannot imagine this level of support even five years ago. Whatever happens, the Palestinians are no longer alone.
