"Run the government like a business!" flies in the face of the way people who run businesses run business, they have no fucking idea what they're doing and when it collapses under their stupidity they demand a couple million as a reward for leaving and go start another one.

Here's a screenwriting truism that explains a lot of soft Trump support to me: It's really hard to dislodge an audience's first impression of a character. People have him in their head as '80s business guy or The Apprentice boss, and nobody -- including himself! -- has been able to undo that.

Something you'll notice in finance coverage of Tesla right now is analysts, who are ostensibly in place to give their audience accurate assessments of financial risk, are absolutely going out of their way to either downplay or ignore Musk's role in the stock's losses since January. Weird, huh?

At a certain point we have to think about streamers and influencers as small business owners who are precariously dependent on a small number of suppliers (Twitch, TikTok, Instagram, etc.) and the effect that has on amplifying Small Business Brain.

Trump has talked shit about the Bush-Cheney-McCain wing of the GOP for nearly a decade now and it doesn’t seem to have hurt him. But say something slightly critical of weak ass Democrats and you’re undermining an entire movement. Ok.

The critical thing to understand is that it is absolutely commercial viable and profitable to fund mid-sized studios making reasonably budgeted games that grow in profit year over year. The issue is that Money People see that as a failure because their bar of success is $500m/yr and runs itself

These are old screencaps from a Twitter account that no longer exists (but I think might be @schneidremarks.bsky.social?), but remains relevant (doubly so in nerd communities). One of the surreal things about being trans is experiencing this shift in-person.

I think this is a useful point but I'd disagree with the premise that it's necessarily "out of whack" for a 15% decrease in supply to lead to a 250% price increase. That's exactly what you'd expect for a product with very inelastic demand and no substitutes, similar dynamics with oil in the 1970s.

We are basically at full employment (thanks, Joe Biden & Kamala Harris). But so Republicans can target the specific people they don’t like, and shovel money into private pockets, we have to pretend otherwise.

By not defending the AP publicly and strenuously the WHCA showed they were unwilling to act as an organization on basically the main purpose they were formed. These are the consequences of that choice.

Been under the weather for nearly a week, but the audio for the Chain of Memories video has been laid out. I'm editing the visuals for the parts that weren't done for the short version, and whatever I have finished by tomorrow will be up for patrons on Thursday with the regular update post.

Amazing lack of self-awareness from Clarence Thomas, who takes a dig at Oklahoma's attorney general for appointing a "personal friend and campaign donor" to review Glossip's case. I guess he has realized that friendships and money can influence personal judgment? www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Obviously don't love where we are societally, but glad to see what games press has been saying for a while covered in the mainstream press. What GamerGate influence quite literally cannot be understated.

Here’s the thing about this. Evangelicals are the largest percentage of homeschoolers in this country BY FAR. And Evangelicals also DEEPLY believe in spanking and hitting their children as a disciplinary measure. So following those threads you can see wanting to repeal this makes complete sense

A huge part of what’s happening right is that CEOs and the ultra wealthy are mad we’re no longer buying the meritocracy myth behind wealth accumulation and hoarding—and the loss of social/cultural respect that’s gone with that.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...
