My biggest hater take is probably that I find Fortnite to be absolutely dystopian. It's giving me feelings of dread and despair to see all these intellectual properties™ come together in a franchise slurry.

We don't talk about the number of timepieces I own
This is especially humiliating because I will continue to have ADHD.
I am a guy who will be constantly late despite having a special interest in objects that tell time.

Treasure Planet 2 (unproduced): The Centurion, art by Emil Mitev
It's all the more unfortunate that Treasure Planet didn't find its audience, as it was conceived as the beginning of a saga. A sequel was already in pre-production before being canceled a few days after the film's disastrous release.

Pssst, hey! Yes you. The one suffering through an awful holiday just because: "well, they're my family, what else am I going to do, etc."
You can just not go. You can walk away. You don't have to endure people who don't respect you. You can find your people and build your own family and future.

Just like UBI & Medicare for All would be much better uses of taxpayer dollars.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.
