When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

Why do historians go to archives? Hasn’t everything already been digitized?

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

look there’s at least 4 “better” games on this grid but in 2019 playing Kingdom Hearts 3 was a religious experience
Quote this with what you would have said your game of the year was at the end of 2019, and what you would say your favourite game of 2019 is now, if it differs

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

I did work on God of War: Ragnarok, which I also did not write for or compose on, but instead constructed the boat, sled and walking stories start/resume system that no one mentions because it’s so unbuggy and works so well that it works like everyone expects it should. It was a nightmare to make
4 million listeners apparently!
Also sharing the programme with the music from Legend of Zelda and God of War was quite a thing!
Congrats to @caraellison.bsky.social, @kylewbanks.com and @choiby.bsky.social too for your interviews and featured music!

“individual employees asked to change behavior in response to catastrophic mistakes made by their high-level leadership over the past 3-7 years” really feels like the overarching story of the current times
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
