Instead of games and movies, I'm doing both.
1 Like = 1 character from the Fast and the Furious franchise and who I think their Final Fantasy equivalent is.

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?
2256.42%????
TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX POINT FORTY TWO PERCENT😩

Having visited Wikimedia's old offices when Humble had them in a bundle, the amount they do based off donations alone is nothing short of a miracle of global cooperation. But also I think it'd be hilarious if it backfires and they end up with record amount of donations as a result of him.
I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

Musk has denounced Wikipedia as "Wokepedia" on X and urged people not to donate to the platform.

Gonna have to explain to my mentee that working in games is meeting someone at an industry event then forgetting that you met them years earlier at another event and then remembering you had the same interaction back then because you forgot you met them at an even earlier event previously.

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

I've been a mentor for two weeks now to a mentee who arguably has more hard skills than I do so all my action items for them are weird soft skill building exercises like write down a list of ridiculous songs to do karaoke with or watch a shit ton of improv comedy.

Hit the point of the night where I was explaining to people on the train that the divide between elder millennials and younger millennials is dictated by whether or not you reached adulthood when the Spice Girls broke up or when One Direction did.
