I’m going to start engaging more so people don’t think I’m a bot.

@Timcast I was impressed with professor Jiang at first but I’m starting to think that he’s probably a CCP tool to plant division and confusion amongst the western intellectual class.

Trump wants to keep the US as the global hegemon and keep the world under the petrodollar But a new world order is emerging One that will cede power to several large nations.

First look at Timothée Chalamet in ‘DUNE: PART THREE’

I think C.S Lewis’ Ransom trilogy would make for a really good Prog Rock album. Someone should work on this right away! #progrock

Everyone wants to win until they realize how many losses it takes. Lock in.

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).

when people tell you who they are, believe them. don’t try to save them or wish them into the person you want them to be.

@MarioNawfal @kann_news This kinda feels like an Avengers assemble moment

@MarioNawfal @nayibbukele do it.

I might know someone who can fix this...

@MarioNawfal How long are the Mexican people gonna put up with this??

🇲🇽 Vehicles torched and thick smoke across parts of Mexico after the CJNG cartel retaliated with roadblocks and coordinated attacks. This comes right after reports that their leader, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes (‘El Mencho’), was taken out in a federal operation. Jalisco is burning, clashes in Tapalpa, cars set on fire in Guadalajara. How can a country with so much economic potential, wonderful people, and a country that thrives on tourism allow itself to have these problems? I don't understand...

@Nero @JohnDoyle need to summon the doy boi for this one.

TRUMP TRUE BELIEVERS: tell me why he’s wrong

yes #warcraft

@fasc1nate @chapmanabridged has a great video on the topic. youtu.be/v7Yl9P9zcQY?si…

@AntiLeftMemes Someone hasn’t read the Gulag Archipelago.

@dcexaminer @GOP @NewMexicoGOP how could this have happened??

New Mexico‘s November 2026 election ballot will feature no Republicans after the state disqualified several Republican candidates for failing to meet ballot requirements. trib.al/PdNpQje

@J_WASH34 @TheoryWiseOS And the purpose of the “bud light” reference was to highlight the fact that there exists a mechanism by which consumers can sway a company and its products. I’m not interested in the politics

@TheoryWiseOS @melidon830 i think they're referring to this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud_Light… so better off just ignoring them if they're going to call it "the bud light treatment" rather than just voting with your wallet or w/e

The “Disneyfication” of Warcraft is a red herring. Disney has nothing to do with it. Reality is, Overwatch is the last successful IP blizzard had, and WoW at the time, was dying. So they transposed the successful aesthetic to a failing IP. This didn’t make for better art, obviously, but the conversation right now is ruined.

@J_WASH34 @TheoryWiseOS You can call it whatever you want but nothing is going to change if people just keep giving blizzard their money in exchange for the slop wow is today. If a reference like “bud light treatment” offends you, you’re probably a member of their current target audience. Have fun👋

@MrGMYT x.com/theorywiseos/s…

The Disneyfication of World of Warcraft is getting out of hand

@icyveins The only way they’ll learn.

Metzen says he wishes they hadn't called it "Warcraft"… and the community is already losing it. 👉 icy-veins.com/wow/news/metze… #warcraft
