HE SAID SON WHEN
YOU GROW UP

A KILLER OF CIVILIANS

HE SAID WILL YOU

There should be a dog show where they don’t have to be purebred or meet any breed or behavior standards, and everyone just admires how cute they are, then everyone gets a prize cause they’re all perfect.

If you have trouble threading your needle, try turning it around. 🪡🧵

No. And if you're entertained by 8 year olds brawling, that says a lot.

The New York Times issued a damning analysis of the video and witness statements of the murder of 37-year-old mother of three Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday. The sadistic agents refused to render aid and even drew guns on a doctor preventing him from helping.

It dawned on me earlier, that when I buy a game, I'm buying the results of (many) someone's creativity. Why the heck would I want someone to bypass so much of the creativity when that's the thing I want and am paying money for?

Man I kinda feel bad for the E33 team. Imagine creating your first game from scratch, winning the most awards of any game at the event ever, and people are just furious about it online.

Criticize the event itself, sure, but those devs did nothing wrong to deserve that hate. They made a good game
