Now how can I ever hope to take this seriously when there isn't a 4,000-word preamble talking about how great you are and not-so-subtly saying that anyone who disagrees with you is being an internet bully?
Like, this just... makes its point... and ends!

The sigh I sighed when I realized that I knew who that was after the third comma.

"But Republicans promised a vote to extend the ACA subsidies!"
That vote will fail. Democrats know this. But rather than keep fighting, *enough* Senate Democrats (it won't be all, and they'll be strategic about who it is) will bend the knee because at their core, above all else, they are useless.

Well, I mean, I DO enjoy Liverpool (the city)… and they’re not Sunderland [insert me spitting on the ground]…
…I’ll give ‘em a shot - but not against The Reds. Liverpool vs. Nottingham just… feels like pistol-whipping a toddler, honestly.

Also, this is in absolutely no way the most important part of her video but when @charalanahzard.bsky.social mentioned “Newcastle United” I might have audibly shouted “MOTHERFUCK” at my phone.
So.
I guess I’m in the market for a new Premier League team to throw in with. I’m open to suggestions.

This thread about how The Game Awards basically used young devs, almost exclusively from marginalized communities, as little more than PR fodder before sticking 'em in a corner and saying 'just be glad you're here' really emphasizes my last point.
The "Future Class" stuff is just shameful, y'all.

I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since
pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.
The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.
