Has it been a month since I played this game? Yes. Do I remember how to play it? Unlikely. What could possibly go wrong? I’ll be live at 7 PM ET, come hang out. Twitch.tv/ellisthe12th

Actor, writer, comedian, variety streamer, constantly frazzled. I mostly like my games cozy and low-stakes or weird and narrative heavy, but occasionally I wanna hit my head against an Elden Ring boss...

I'm SO GLAD I stopped into this stream (It's still live, btw). 🤣 Follow Sam, but be advised he was once asked to leave a Cracker Barrel...in case that's a deal-breaker.

In my experience with cats, this is the beginning of a negotiation. Once he’s sitting ON the keyboard, you have lost that negotiation.

I think a big part of the “male loneliness epidemic” is that a lot of the straight men I know mistake self-loathing as a substitute for humility. There’s a world of difference between being a man who recognizes his flaws but still feels worthy of love and being a knock-off Rick Sanchez.

We have hit the point where all the kids who took their ball and went home as soon as they were losing have taken over a political party, and they claim to be the “tough and manly” party. We truly are beyond satire or parody at this point.

People are so desperate for a Democratic candidate with a platform beyond “I’m not a Republican” that they’re willing to overlook a lot of red flags on a personal/background level.
