I’m reminded of the quote that is attributed to Shigeru Miyamoto - “A delayed game is eventually good, but a bad game is bad forever.”

It’s worse than than that.

All of that is certainly a consideration, but there isn’t demographic data to support preferences for one race vs. another, preference for political affiliation, desire to have children, etc.

Honestly, I find myself wondering why the hell we’re still fighting over straight cis men (arguably the most unimpressive of our species) in the year 2023

I imagine the DOJ was probably curious about the provenance of the cat - if Mushu is a show-grade Ragdoll with appropriate paperwork, then $2,000 is probably a low-end estimate of it’s value.

As a native Hoosier and graduate of IU, these people are why I left my home state for good. Deeply ignorant, unrepentant, and unserious. They’ll drag every state they run back into the dark ages and complain when they become uncompetitive and fall further and further behind the rest of the country.

So I’m one of those spends-two-days-on-the-lawn Hall H guys. Did it in 2020, did it again in 2022 (where I ran my own line group), and I’ll do it again for as long as I have people to do it with.

Schumer is 72, Grassley should also have retired years ago, McConnell is 80 and suffering health issues, Durbin is 78, and Byrd and Thurmond should have retired (or been retired) a decade or more before they actually did.

I guarantee that someone at Twitter wrote some garbage code like “if handle=”@ElonMusk”; force.distribute all” to make everyone look at Elon’s tweets whether they want to or not.

I have Paramount+ for Star Trek and Halo. That’s really all I need.

It’s one thing when your competition is She-Hulk on Disney+.

I work professionally in risk management, and I am constantly amazed at the scratch-off level fraud people get away with. This isn’t particularly clever or “Wow, look how these enterprising n’er-do-wells got one over on a Big Bank!” story - it’s a bunch of idiots in over their head, got caught, and are going to get…

So in my day job, I’m a consultant. I help big companies, companies much bigger than Twitter, solve problems. More often than not, I’m called in when these companies have seemingly tried everything and nothing is working.

The pilot for Glee was a darkly funny and somewhat subversive take on midwest high school show choir.

My family has been collecting Star Trek ornaments (the OG sci-fi ornaments!) since the early 90s. After I finally bought a place, my mom sent me all of them, and I keep adding to the collection. Because we’re Jewish, a Christmas display isn’t really appropriate, so I hang a garland of blue and white lights, set up my…

As usual, conservatives have decided that the correct response to a minor and temporary inconvenience (occasionally learning a new name, new set of pronouns, or maybe sharing a bathroom with someone that makes them feel uncomfortable) requires a violent, over the top solution.

I advise some of the largest companies in the world, the majority of whom are Name Brands, on risk management. I regularly meet with their C-level executives, and provide them insight on how to tackle emerging threats and improve their risk management programs.

I think Godzilla (2014) and Pacific Rim got it right - kaiju are forces of nature. Fighting one is like fighting a hurricane. The best you can do is batten down the hatches and hope it doesn’t hit you.

Look, I can understand folks not understanding where the MCU was going pre-July and SDCC. It was a bit scattershot and there weren’t a lot of indications where it was going.

When it comes to identifying and removing objectionable or false content, it’s important to remember this about social media companies: it’s not that they can’t, it’s that they’re choosing not to.
