We've had the idea for a sort of "big picture" style of episode since the literal beginning in 2019, and have talked around it for years, so it's nice to finally be ready to do it AND start with our guy!

I'm just gonna bookmark this for future reference when Dem pundits complain about how the party has trouble communicating its message to voters. The reason you keep running into trouble with your branding isn't campus radicals. The reason is that your opponents purchased all the media outlets.

Without the trans joke, this is sincerely good advice that I would impart to young men. You don’t have to go crazy, but if you’re afraid to cook or afraid to sing or make art because it’s “gay” or ”girly” then you are a sad and unappealing person.

Half of the reason that people become interested in movies in the first place is sex and dating and everything connected with eroticism on the screen. I felt that not to deal with all of that in its most naked form was to shirk part of what's involved in being a critic. (2001)

this is, unfortunately, exactly how it works. Safety is often boring, mundane, trivial things like observation of boundaries and monitoring the world around you. What people prefer (especially men) is tidy, clean instances of heroically swinging in and punching out a bad guy.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

My reading of BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA as a 9-year-old is a core memory for me. Havent revisited that book since 4th grade but it sits in me. Also probably a part of why my favorite love song, “If We Were Vampires,” is as much about the inevitability of death as appreciating the time we have.

in a week that saw microsoft give activision the reins to halo and bungie pivot back to destiny, one thing has become abundantly clear: the people in charge do not have a long-term, overriding plan. they’re just reacting. the result, when times are bad, is chaos

"Things are still very chaotic," a current id Software employee who was granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly told Aftermath. "While there has been an attempt to communicate to the studios, it is still entirely in bullshit corporate speak. I still don't believe they have a clear vision for the future. The only concrete thing they have communicated is they want higher profits, and they want it now. Aggressive goals are being set that would have been unrealistic even before the layoffs. ... To say the workers within Xbox have a dim view of the future is putting it mildly. We keep thinking morale can't sink lower but the obvious incompetence of Xbox management somehow keeps driving it down worse."
This mirrors shifts in strategy that have come to dominate the still-new Sharma era, including others outlined Tuesday. Rare is joining Activision, Turn 10 and Playground are fusing, and—most gallingly, considering their history—Obsidian is being folded into Bethesda to work on Fallout instead of its own original series. As with the previous round of layoffs, details betray Microsoft's haphazard approach: A Halo developer got promoted and laid off in the same week. Gears of War: E-Day's story director is out of a job days after celebrating that the game had gone gold. Hellblade developer Ninja Theory, now without a buyer after a brief glimmer of hope, is once again on the chopping block.
All of this betrays a simplistic mindset that does not accurately reflect the reality of game development: People are disposable, studios are interchangeable, and series can be traded like sports teams. Nothing matters more than franchises and their money-printing prowess. Unless, evidently, you are Hideo Kojima, in which case Microsoft suddenly has money to burn.
