I love watching my partner play X4, even though he's still pretty sure I'm just pretending to out of love.
My boyfriend showing me how his Stellaris playthrough is going assuming I’m not interested (but actually I’m very interested because I love him)
A common thread in interviews of people I admire: when they were young, they felt like they were "born too late" and missed the golden era of their field For example, this came up in an interview with @ID_AA_Carmack. I nearly laughed out loud when I heard him say this, because…

In April, Pastor Jason Graber said parents of trans kids should be “shot in the head.” In June I spent three weeks attending this church in person. I found sexism, antisemitism, violence, and ignorance in worrying proximity to mainstream conservatism. youtu.be/W2I-59uDtIk

Caelan does amazing work, I highly highly recommend their channel and Twitter!

@YouTubeCreators @YouTube @TeamYouTube My channel is being unfairly targeted by a disgruntled individual (Lawson Bates) who does not like my commentary. Bates is inappropriately using copyright strikes to try and take down my channel. 3 strikes in 6 days! Please help and boost!
Increasingly convinced the root cause of most strife and drama at most startups is founders with zero managerial experience. Some of the anecdotes these CEOs post on Twitter are utterly baffling, and gives the impression they haven’t even sorted out the most basic of HR.
