Opinions are only my own!
Directing is, in part, the process of seeing your work transformed unexpectedly and positively by performance, and then reacting to that in a way that builds on what you find. If you’re not doing that, then you’re only giving orders to cater to your imagination, and that abandons much of directing.

now you can count to 10,000,000,000!

Yeah at age 4, maybe 5 if he's an older kid, this means "he can count to 100." Really good basis to decide the trajectory of your kid's life

Definitely B when I've seen it, with A as a positive side-effect.
The vibe I get is "actually when i think about it B is just fine for me. I like ( game without hyper-real UE5 raytraced graphics ) and ( game that is only 10 hours long ) so yeah, MORE OF THAT"

There are many forms of CEO attention-seeking that simultaneously self-glorify and self-victimize. I have witnessed several of them personally. However, I really have to hand it to Karp -- "ME!! You're going to burn ME alive as a human sacrifice!!" is a new twist

Apparently the CR is a separate thing and doesn't involve reconciliation with the house version, so I'm unclear where the dangerous language is at right now

Thanks for the update
November 11, 2025 at 3:31 AM
My bad, missed that aspect
November 11, 2025 at 3:29 AM
Yes that's correct, see second post in thread and linked post. Reconciliation has yet to occur
November 11, 2025 at 3:20 AM
Yup. It's extreme enough and a low enough "voter priority" in polling now that it might get left by the wayside, fingers crossed. Exec.branch mostly has been dragging it out as a wedge whenever they can claim the Dems are supporting mutilation or whatever

This might be bludgeoned into a wider anti-trans threat against large hospital systems and universities as well, or even insurers -- due to research funding.and maneuvers like the Hyde-boosting executive order.

But note also: it is time to act, not time to panic about this. bsky.app/profile/kate...

Nah it's pretty much the same thing
