Damn dude, I thought I took my time with that one! (I finished it for the first time back in 2006). Although I did fire up and finish Majora's Mask earlier this year. What an amazing pair of games!

2015. An old guy with a soul patch taunts a man with Buddy Holly glasses, a beanie,and a flannel shirt. The old guy says "you lazy Millennials don't wanna work." He smugly leans in and says "all you wann do is avocado toast." The Millennial shakes his skinny fists like antennas toward heaven and says "I swear to God. When I'm in my thirties, I'm gonna be more charitable to young people." It's 2025. The Millennial, 10 years older, says to his friend wearing an Animal Collective shirt "yeah, every Zoomer I've ever met is a braindead piece of shit." She nods in agreement.

Opposing Andrew Cuomo is a non-negotiable for our membership. In light of today’s news that Jessica Ramos has endorsed Cuomo, our New York City CAP Council immediately voted to unendorse her on our ballots. @uawregion9a.bsky.social

English people will pronounce every French word by phonetically with the exception of grand prix and I think that's a missed opportunity.

It should be illegal to turn off comments on a song on YouTube. I need to know how this song is making other people feel right now!

I actually slept all right on that bed. Had to bring my own pillow, though. Also we had to let the window open for the cool air to come in.

I ordered one of those prepper books advertised online because I'm an easy sell but I also consider some of that stuff practical. So of course the first passage I read after flipping it open is about how seed oils are literally poison.

They Are Going to Take Everything If We Don't Stop Them The government is going to destroy unions if we don't fight now.

The worst thing the federal government has done to unions in my lifetime happened last night. The second worst thing was three weeks ago.

The labor movement will either protect ourselves right now or be smashed. That's all there is to it.

Trump and his oligarch cronies are injecting uncertainty into an already bumpy corporate-led EV transition. Now, will EV policy reversals and whirlwind tariffs cause more mass layoffs or another recession?

Join me and my UAWD EV Committee organizers for our analysis & to hear how we can fight back

Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check.

What I’m saying is we can go harder.

I didn't get that from what you wrote but it may be good to not boo random Canadians if that's how you feel.
