  • The only focused Democratic message for the past 8+ years has been, “We need to stop Trump,” which I agree with, but without Trump, I can’t think of a single, unified message. That’s not enough to get the general population fired up and excited to vote for Dems. One thing that made Obama so popular was he had specific goals and gave people hope.

    Trump, in the meantime, has been feeding people all sorts of promises and hopes and dreams. They’re all terrible and full of shit, but that is a more powerful message than just, “We need to stop Harris.”




  • If you haven’t played it, “Stardew Valley” is, like, ruin-your-life good. And I think part of what makes it so faith assuring and life uplifting is that it was made by one dude who has continuously (for YEARS) released huge, free updates for the game. He’s awesome. It feels good supporting him and recommending such a great game to people. :-)












  • He engages with his fan base a lot. So yeah, there are lots of jokes and things like that. It’s fun to get involved with everything, but you don’t need to in order to just enjoy his books.

    By the way, most people suggest starting with the Mistborn series. “The Final Empire” is the first book, and it’s really fun. A good introduction to Sanderson. They’re still big books, but not quite the commitment of “The Way of Kings,” which is the first Stormlight book. Whatever you start with, I hope you enjoy it!!
