I swear this isnt an @ at anyone in particular, but it’s super disorienting to see people’s feeds switch between Minneapolis and, like, their problems with modern film budgets.

Maduro was a brutal repressive dictator who destroyed Venezuela. Trump did not have congressional or UN approval to engage in unilateral regime change. Trump's actions were illegal. All of those things can be true at the same time. Don't let them make this about Maduro.

Even Blue Prince's "true ending" leaves some questions unanswered.
Does it ever end? Blue Prince’s spiral is a monument to curiosity · Thinky Games
