Took a break from FF16 to play Viewfinder which was absolutely amazing and has similar wow moments as Portal. Now playing Planet of Lana which reminds me of Inside a lot.

Not sure how I feel about this.

Finished Making Money by Terry Pratchett recently. Another fantastic book. I keep increasing the gap between Discworld novels so I can have books to read for a while longer. The day I read the final book in the series will hit hard. By far my favorite author of fiction.

Went from an iPhone 11 to a 14 Pro. Quite the upgrade. Didn’t think I’d like the 120Hz refresh this much. Not to mention the massive camera improvements.

WTF. A couple of my retweets from 2018 are back after I deleted all my tweets last year.
Twitter’s latest trick as of today is “resurfacing deleted Tweets and retweets” - so, uh, watch out everyone.

Watched Renfield last time. Over the top gore (for comedic effect), a great Nic Cage portrayal of Dracula, and an hour and a half. Need more movies that aren’t 3 hour long blockbusters.

I also think people don’t realize what kind of mental health problems someone would go through if they too had no place to live, no support system, food was erratic, good sleep was non existent. Many could not keep up if they lost just one of those things.

The solution to hunger is food.
The solution to homelessness is housing.
The solution to poverty is money.
The solution to the mental health crisis is universal mental healthcare.
All of these issues are linked but the solutions are direct and effective when applied universally.

I cannot even begin to state how much of a profound failure of leadership we have seen in the last 24h re: Jordan Neely.
Virtually every one of us is closer to being in Neely’s shoes than we think. How could any leader struggle to condemn violence? Being poor or sick is not a license to be killed

Over the past 24 hours, neither the governor nor the mayor have at all condemned the killing of a homeless man on the subway.
