I do think it’s super important right now and in the foreseeable future to really value moments of joy and to be intentional about making as many of them as you can

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Remember when parts of Europe finally cracked down on loot boxes in games, but like, years after publishers phased them out and developed other (worse) means to rinse us for money?

For example; how many people know what a Dutch angle is and why it's used? What is the equivalent knowledge for games and why is it not as well know?
If we want players to intelligently engage with games, we do need to help them learn about the craft.

Powerful men can outmaneuver accusations with strategic retaliation — while women risk everything by speaking out. Men can lean into being perceived as "controversial," "difficult," "annoying," or "unstable," while the same labels are career-ending for women.

Why won’t the media use the word misogyny?
Misogyny is at the core of these smear campaigns targeting women, yet news coverage consistently avoids naming it.
