I respected Team Cherry’s time for seven (?) years while they developed Silksong. It does not feel like they returned the favor.

This month I’m diving into the GOAT — Casablanca — and what might be the most important omission in movie history.

I believe the missing moment is the whole point of the film.

I filed paperwork to official terminate my candidacy for US Congress.

Obviously not an ideal outcome, but I have no regrets. I’m proud of what my volunteers and I accomplished, what we learned and the community we built.

My sincere thanks to everyone who supported me and the campaign.

Why doesn’t my representative get a say in whether or not we take military action against another country?

What’s the ironclad rationale here?
