Alex Jones broke character for a minute to tell Kanye West a story about his grandfather, who helped liberate a Nazi death camp at the end of WW2. Jones is, for once, being serious.
Kanye responds, "Yeah but Nazis are kind of cool."

Still marveling at how the media & Congress treated Zuck and Jack like bank robbers over running social apps while today they treat SBF like a cute kid who got confused by big numbers.

Some of my friends are discussing why Harrison Ford is still playing Indiana Jones but honestly, having an 80-year-old professor not retire is like the most accurate part of the franchise

still it does seem most likely that humanity will end due to a combination of (1) rapidly improving AI plus (2) people baiting it to make a good Twitter joke.

From @TheAthleticFC: Cho Gue-sung had to turn his phone off because he was getting too many marriage proposals. At the start of the #FIFAWorldCup he had around 20,000 Instagram followers. At the time of writing, he has 1.6 million. nyti.ms/3Vpr8sI

All games should have a Main Menu item called "Relearn Controls" and it's just a 2 min tutorial. If you haven't played the game in over 2 months, it also asks you if you want to play the Relearn Controls tutorial before you start.
Will try to add this to our next game.

There shouldn’t be a presidential primary at all, but if there has to be it should be a national primary on the first Tuesday in January and if it can’t be that then California should go first followed by Texas, Florida, New York, etc to wrap it up as soon as possible.

Ideally you should just let me pick the nominee. Failing that select at random seven people who voted D in the midterms and let them talk it out over one weekend and pick someone.
The goal should be to minimize the time and money spent on the process by any means necessary.
