at last, my years of being a social media real estate speculator paid off and I have a bunch of new follows. Here's an introduction of all the stuff I do, apologies to everyone who already knows me.

The Democrats helped shut down the government and showed you can exercise some real power in the minority. Then they gave it away for nothing rather than extracting concessions.
Americans who demand nothing of their elected leaders are some of the most pathetic people in the country.

Can’t do anything in power. Can’t do anything out of power. Weirdly they’re the only party that never has any power or voice, regardless of the situation
I love you all and am holding your hand as I say this:
Dems wield zero hard power levers
Dems wield zero hard power levers
it's kind of crazy that there's even any question that democrats are going to do anything about this

video game AI discourse will soon have the additional gas of "this is why the six year old playstation 5 inexplicably costs more now" on top of everything else
It’s going to be real wild watching video game hardware become functionally unaffordable over the next year.
ASUS will be increasing prices on various products from January 5, including the ROG Ally, to 'absorb increasing costs across the industry'

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.

When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?
