Just a random reminder that a lot of you are fucking rad and as hard and dark as these times are, you continue to at least survive, if not thrive, amid the darkness. And you deserve to acknowledge that.

Not really interested in hearing anyone with the Los Angeles Dodgers talking next week about how important Jackie Robinson was when they all smiled and posed today with a white supremacist trying extra hard to re-segregate society.

Nintendo Switch 2 presentation was overall solid

Pros: establishing a clear identity and future for the system and brand with 4 quadrant appeal. Adding huge titles like Street Fighter 6 and Madden is a very impactful get. That might be the best part of the entire program for me

Street Fighter 6 on the Switch is huge

I just didn’t feel any connection to God after many years and decided that was that

I prayed every night and I felt nothing. Nobody heard me. I went to church every Sunday and saw (what I thought) everyone around me fully living their faith. I felt everyone else but me got it
Church dropouts, why did you stop going to church?

Millennials. Stop the H*rry P*tter obsessions. The books were rubbish and problematic, the films were awful, and less said about the author the better. Read something at least half decent and worth the time.
