The Democratic Party's formula for the last 50 years has been "Let's be friendly with extreme wealth and maybe we can also get modest policy wins sometimes." The last 10 years and this year in particular should be conclusive proof of how badly this has failed. But we're stuck with it anyway

It's incredible how streamers are still so dismissive of the Chinese game market. I get that it was the cool thing to dunk on Chinese video games for a decade, but it just reeks of casual racism now.
There's some really great studios putting out wild stuff these days.

Fun fact
You can think something in a piece of media is bad or poorly handled, but still have it resonate with you. You can also dislike something but admit to the merit it holds. Objective quality has no dictation over one’s interest in things, and what matters most is simply doing what you love.

Every time I’m preparing for a performance. Internally I feel like the shy kid stepping up to the mic for the first time. Sometime I even wonder what’s going to come out or will it?.

I was talking to my friend about injustice the other day. He made the point that sometimes people intentionally go out of their way to not understand or remain ignorant. I’m realizing some Americans want to be ignorant of US foreign policy. Many don’t care about anyone but themselves.

Making an adult decision and going to go to the gym instead of festering in my room. It's far too wet to go for a walk, but i also need to get moving or my sunday scaries will take over, so just some light cardio on the treadmill.
