Social media was a huge, huge fucking mistake.
People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

As Shawn McCreesh and Tyler Pager report, House Republican holdouts were apparently swayed to support President Trump’s tax and spending bill by signed merch and photographs with the president.

At this time of day on July 2, I’m drawn to think of the several thousand US troops spread out in an ever thinning line along Culp’s Hill, on the US right. All afternoon, units have been pulled from this position to bolster the left flank - Little Round Top, the Wheatfield, and Cemetery Ridge

Late-stage capitalism comes for everyone. Just gross.
It's batshit insane to me that Turn 10, a studio that's LITERALLY never shipped anything less than a GREAT game (Metacritic receipts attached) – is being reduced to, perhaps, a support studio with these cuts. What an absolutely brutal business gaming is.

I’ll take under-the-radar efficiency.
The nation's fifth most populous county, San Diego, just chose its political future today—and appears to have chosen to have a Democratic local government—and it's crickets everywhere. Quite the eye-popping example of the NY/East-Coast-bias of how elections get covered.

Rolled credits on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
It’s a flawed masterpiece of a work of art and I bawled through the last 15 minutes of gameplay and cutscenes.

Got nothing to add to the expert commentary on SCOTUS. But: it’s one more iteration of a common phenomenon of this time: people with immense power seeming to live in a different reality over those they rule.

Played Commander with my daughter tonight. During her independent time today, she went though her loose Final Fantasy Magic cards and created her own Commander deck for the first time. She had some good instincts and knew all the parameters. #mtg
