There's a pervasive apathy even among people I consider friends toward this behavior. They either: 1) don't believe Trump is corrupt; 2) figure everyone's equally corrupt (lol no); 3) or take a "So what? I got mine" attitude toward everything.

What are you listening to? Me? Oh, nothing much. Just the leaked Duke Nukem Forever OST from the 2008 version of the game. A little birdie sent this to me. Give it a listen! m.youtube.com/watch?v=gEdW...

I've had difficult feelings about Saudi investment in video games for years, but it's been hard to find the words. The situation at SGDQ 2026 spurred me to try. No offense to anyone that boycotts Saudi sports-washing, but I question the rhetoric of inconsistently swinging on everything in proximity.
