US companies sacrificing *everything good* to wildly chase after a speculative AI golden goose that lacks a clear addressable market (much less...point?) seems like a very bad idea to me—but they all seem to be doing it. Bizarre.

This should not be tolerated. No matter what party you are affiliated with, this statement should be unilaterally opposed. (As should the talk about Greenland, Canada, Mexico—but for some reason that is not happening.)

If the last year has shown us anything, it is that the temperature will not be turned down. It will spread. Speaking out has not stopped our neighbors, friends, and US citizens from being dragged from cars or businesses, and worse. We must do all we can to oppose these unconstitutional actions.

It feels overwhelming, frustrating, and depressing to watch the news, or even to *look* at social media timelines sometimes. But we must keep hope, kindness, and empathy in our hearts as what we desire most—and that those who would keep that down are wrong.

Sounds about right. Wasn't playing as much on Switch til Switch 2 came out. Still waiting for Hori to come out with some Split Pad Pros for the 2, cuz... Joy-Con 2s aren't that comfortable for me. 😢 #GiantHandProblems

I had so much fun talking with Sean—someone I've been listening to since I stumbled on the If We Ran Nintendo podcast many years ago. 💕
This moment has stuck with me since it happened weeks ago and today the podcast published on Patreon. I am so grateful to @superpac.bsky.social for saying this.
I have been doing better since doing these episodes of We The GamerCast and it’s thanks to some genuine conversations with great people.
