you could not waterboard this out of me. “we didn’t understand why people use steam”
I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

You can have story. Or you can have data.
Story is choices. Data is no choices, just more stuff, but presented with no weight, value or sense. Just more.
We are watching the tyranny of the takeover of story - of choice, of taste, of craft, of meaning - by the data people.
Horrible.

With the awful news from the last couple hours, this post from the political optimism subreddit helped to break through a bit of the despair fog. Repubs know this is political suicide, ICE's support is crumbling despite the budget increase, and there's a myriad of ways to fight back. Keep strong.
