I actually really liked the Star Trek bridge crew game but the controls were too clunky for me to be able to use them fast enough to respond. I think it would make a really good game for the new VR systems though especially PSVR2

When you donā€™t look at Majima for a while you kind of forget how his tats are the absolute sickest thing in the entire history of humanity

Maybe if Iā€™m a sniveling coward when it matters most people will trust me to lead

I was starting to feel like all these civil service values I believe in were stodgy and corny but watching the administrative state get the wire torn out of it makes me feel like actually civil service values are powerful and subversive and important and cool

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

ā€œEvil man will retire in comfort and security he has worked his whole life to deny to others after ruining the entire foundation of any semblance of democracy in Americaā€ oh joy šŸ˜’

Dawg they Freedom Fried us, itā€™s so over

Absolutely fucking electrifying to see real leadership at this moment

Canā€™t believe 2025 just started and already we are almost a quarter of the way through it. Dust in the wind etc etc

I hate it when people say ā€œimportantlyā€ in a submission to me, I will decide whatā€™s important here thank you

I think about this a lot. At some point every one of us is going to be called on to do something that facilitates this project and it is our holiest and most righteous duty to refuse

There is a small chance that at some point in the future you will end up face-to-face with one of these incel Hitlerjugend ripping copper out of the walls of the federal government for Elon Musk, & whether itā€™s in a job interview or at a barbecue it is so so important you tell that prick to fuck off

I understand why these stories exist but itā€™s important to be clear that heā€™s not ā€œsavingā€ 16 billion, heā€™s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

I relate to David Lynch because I too fumbled the greatest love of my life for an absolutely stupid reason

Thought too much and hurt my own feelings ahahahahahelp šŸ« 

In Unusual Delay, Wallet Inspector Still Hasnā€™t Returned

I havenā€™t been watching Enterprise because I just hit season 3 and I canā€™t believe there are only four seasons, I donā€™t want it to be over so soon šŸ˜¢

Heā€™s a good boy he just wants to play

Thereā€™s a thick blanket of fog outside and I really want to go for a walk and pretend I am in some liminal fae realm but when I tried that yesterday I fell on my ass because it turns out itā€™s also icy

ā€œSometime soon, some big stuff will start to break in observable ways. It will be important to trace those failures back to decisions being made now. For example, firing 1,300 CDC officials [ā€¦] could become a disaster very quickly. In other cases, there will be no single moment of failure.ā€

it was bad when the worst poster on my favorite website bought that website and made it terrible but it has been worse having that person also buy my country that i live in

Pretty telling that the comparison here is ā€œsomeone scolding you via a video you saw on Facebook that you found annoyingā€ and ā€œcomplete disregard for legal protections and long standing peaceful cooperation between nationsā€. Itā€™s actually pretty accurate to how conservatives view the world

I just wonā€™t eat any food or get sick for the next few years

every day I think about the comms strategy of the korean opposition party in the wake of the coup and I get so burningly resentful that other countries have legislators who are awake

Ideally, don't do any of these things.

Jesus fucking Christ dude. Absolute nightmare shit

My toxic trait is that if it gets cold in my house I will just go get in bed and call it a day no matter what time it is

you don't have to call it the gulf of america. just don't do it. keep calling it the gulf of mexico. you don't have to do things just because your fascist government tells you to

I canā€™t talk about my job in much detail but I wanted to say I just finished up a big project that Iā€™m really proud of, the kind of work that makes me feel really proud to do what I do ā˜ŗļø
