Watched season 2 episode 10 of Twin Peaks and am in the middle of 11 and I feel like this has lasted ten hours. Every single subplot I am begging for the sweet release of death. If I have to watch another Nadine in high school scene or anything with James I might just cry.

Okay, so a lot of quote-tweets and responses to this unambiguously good thing are of the breed of "Wow, EVEN WRESTLING FANS are against ICE now!" and "Even the world's dumbest fans figured it out!!"

The most exciting thing about that direct was an implication-through-release-date that we're likely going to see FFVIIR 3 at Summer Games Fest.

It gets you 20 likes from people who will turn on you the second a black person appears in your games and earns you tons of skepticism from everyone else. Not a good trade!
