Here's the thing, it'd actually be incredibly easy to "privatize" social security, just not in the way President Musk wants to do it. A self directed retirement account with guaranteed government contribution and limits on what assets could be bought is a viable alternative to the current mess.

Today I'm playing piano for a funeral for a 32 year old. He died of tuberculosis. But in a much more real sense, he died of being poor. He couldn't afford to go to the hospital so he died at home, alone.

My favorite recent example of devs taking real artistic risk is 1000xRESIST, a game which presents you the sentence "Hekki ALLMO blue to red/Mask and bunker shield our head" without explanation or apology. What a brilliant game.

The weird hill I will die on is that FUN's first album, Aim and Ignite, is actually quite good, and the only reason they're remembered as one of the most annoying bands of the early 2010s is because of Some Nights (the song not the album, the rest of the album is mostly fine too).

I am utterly convinced that our parents didn't sit on the floor with us enough as kids. Just....sitting on the floor and handling our emotions together. It's so much better than any other way I've found of dealing with hard emotions, and it's SO EASY.

#cavesofqud is a good video game. That's the extent of the video game discourse I want to engage in right now. Also, Caves of Qud is a great fucking video game.
