The ICE thing is going to be such a nightmare even if it's ever shut down. Thousands of americans have spent years terrorizing, black bagging, or straight up killing whoever fits the criteria that day but now too many people call them monsters, they have been betrayed by the very country they served

i find it interesting how much tcg players hate resellers for ruining their hobby instead of companies for selling a product for which gambling and market speculation is the inevitable outcome

#FantasticFour releases on digital September 23

There are so, so many cool people contributing to this new book and I'm trying to not just spam everyone's feed... so instead I guess I'm just going to be doing regular info drops for a month like Smash Dojo or something.

the epistemic breakdown of factual reality in this political media environment has been so harmful when facts genuinely favor the left, the right will simply deny the facts or call the messenger biased, without any refutation reality will always be biased against a movement detached from reality

As everyone knows, I'm a journalist at heart. As such, I feel it's important to set the record straight. Over the years I've said some things, and after yesterday, it's clear that I was wrong, and those statements were, in fact, false. Tim's peepee do work. Thank you.

How petty am I? A month ago someone was an asshole and asked what I'd do about it. I promptly looked up their address, learned they're in an HOA, contacted a neighbor with a nice yard, and offered to Venmo $5 each time they reported that person for an HOA violation. $25 dollars well spent already.

Now that I have this, I feel I can talk fairly conclusively about the games difficulty. The boss fights are hard, but they're not too hard. The platforming is hard, but not too hard. I think the issue lies with combining moderate difficulty platform prior to high difficulty bosses.
