A better idea is to do to the Democratic Party what the Tea Party and MAGA did to the Republicans.

Primary out corporate candidates and push for progressive ones at every level. President, congressional rep, school board trustee, dog-catcher: it doesn't matter.

The problem progressive voters have is that they don't show up, and the especially don't show up during off years, in primaries and in down-ballot races. The polticial right, by comparison, has been getting people in place on small races for years.

Sanders did more for progressivism by enthusing Democratic members to vote in primaries and down-ballot races than Stein or any third party has ever done, and we're seeing results. It needs to continue.

If you thought Viagra and Ozempic had a market, just wait...

This will be huge amongst the wealthy.

Jesus Christ, if that's real, the WaPo editorial board needs a slap upside the head.

Stop. Rationalizing. Trump.

What I am really unsure about is if there's even a market for Halo anymore.

I'd like to think that a plot-heavy, dialogue-heavy game has a place in the modern era, at least after God of War and Ragnarök, but I don't know if that's what the kids want, and I really don't think the industry wants it because it's expensive and the ROI is low compared to PvP extraction shooters, which are cheaper to make an easier to monetize.

I want to play a story through, and I want to care about the story and the characters and the dialogue. I cut my FPS teeth playing Marathon (Bungie's predecessaor to Halo) and never got into the shallow-plotted shooters that id Software was pushing at the time, but I think the market has largely passed me by.

This focus on the engine and the focus on company structure does not give me hope.

Yup, Ron Jr.

He’s actually very progressive, especially given his upbringing.

Anyone have that gif of Rupert Murdoch with a plate of cookies?

Found it...

Sorry, the double-negative threw me for a loop.

The Boomers fought in world wars?

In utero, maybe.

You could start taxing them. Especially the rich ones.

You know that's an option, right?

Oh, if only that were true.
