Fuck Israel and fuck the Globe and Mail.
I believe the NDP elected a Jewish leader, didn't they? 😂

64% say this is about avoiding accountability. 53% of his own PC voters say their MPPs should vote against it.
Will Doug Ford listen to Ontarians and release his phone records? ReleaseDougsTexts.ca

Here's my conversation with Jeff Kaplan, a legendary Blizzard game designer of World of Warcraft and Overwatch, which are two of the biggest, most influential games ever made. Jeff is one of the most genuine & awesome human beings I've ever met: kind, thoughtful, hilarious, and still & forever a gamer through and through.
This was a truly fun & inspiring conversation. We talk about it all: the lows, the highs, the memes, the details of the game design process, and the new game he's been secretely working on: The Legend of California. I got a chance to play the game with Jeff, and it's incredibly beautiful (and fun). You can wishlist it on Steam now. I can't wait to play it with all of you!
Conversation is here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).

@Byron We both loved the band Metric. There’s a lyric, “who would you rather be, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones?” He asked which I’d choose. I said Beatles he said Rolling Stones. He then explained the meaning of the song. I just realized he chose the Beatles after all :/
