Clipse’s Let God Sort ‘Em Out is an instant classic

& that in 2025, a Clipse song, The Birds Don’t Sing, made me cry is wild & good

very grateful to have a job I enjoy, in the industry I’ve always wanted to matter in, with people I enjoy working with, and where even the most minute details fascinate me because they’re about things I would go out of my way to analyze as a teen until now

The duality of I have very little to complain about these days / how do I best support the people in my life to find their own version of that

about to do the following after watching Mamdani the past few weeks (as someone who doesn’t live in NYC):
- run through a wall
- volunteer somewhere
- visit, spend time at a park, eat a hot dog, and learn about community efforts in NYC

New York City make the forward thinking man your mayor!!
Last night, @bradlander.bsky.social and I exposed Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace on the debate stage.

With early voting starting tomorrow, we're cross-endorsing to defeat the ex-Gov. and win a city everyone can afford. Rank Brad #2!

I am not mad because spending time in this Chase Sapphire Lounge is nice, but I have had my upcoming flight:
1. Delayed 3 hours
2. Flight gets un-delayed multiple times to make it back to its original time
3. Then, it gets re-delayed multiple times, makes it back to its original 3 hour delay

Getting a job in games media seemed almost unattainable when I broke in back in 2005. In the years since, it’s become almost impossible and ultimately inadvisable. I can’t imagine trying to break in today.

Independent is pretty much the only option now. Support your favorite creators directly.

Giant Bomb, and The HotSpot + On The Spot before it, had the vision for podcasts, personality-based content, and livestreams before the YouTube versions of those even took off

What it was until this point will hold such a dear place in my heart. It is one of the core reasons I am working in games
