Just finished DA: Veilguard for the first time, after playing it when it first came out and taking a huge break midway through, and despite a few criticisms I fully respect the third act twist. Truly makes me wonder what the perfect version without all the development woes would have looked like.

I got offered a LOT of money to host an official HP podcast and turned it down immediately. I’m assuming since I am not a podcaster that they have an extremely long list of people who have also said no to this. Dunno what‘s going on with the actors but the comics are holding the line lol
Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.

Rich people who threaten to leave a place if you tax them more never leave because other places would also tax them and anywhere that doesn’t tax you is somewhere you wouldn’t want to live because they don’t have revenue to do anything to make it livable. Anyone willing to deal with that already has

Listen, we can ENJOY the infighting and/or good things a terrible person says.

But that bitch said, with her whole damn chest, that JEWISH SPACE LASERS caused the fires in California.

So, no, we do not give her a pass or welcome her. We just eat our popcorn for now.

If you’re ok with vouchers being used for ski trips or piano lessons but not ok with SNAP benefits being used for pizza or cupcakes, it’s not the use of public money you have a problem with.

It’s that you think wealthy people deserve perks and poor people deserve to be poor.

Let's just lay it out. Epstein was a glorified pimp who used and sold the services of children to the wealthy, the elite, and the powerful. His clients will destroy anything and everything to stay hidden. They will even starve poor people. They have no bottom and no conscience.

3 things happening at once:

1. They are learning the ACA coverage they enjoyed was always OBAMACARE. The very insurance they voted to end.

2. They are learning they, rural whites, are the demographic MOST RELIANT on government aid.

3. They are learning it’s the GOP’s fault for the shutdown.

Zohran Mamdani is the bright future of the Democratic Party — brimming with excellent ideas about what working families need.

I was delighted to chat with him earlier today.

If you're a New Yorker, don't forget to cast your vote for him by Tuesday, Nov. 4.
