Just saw someone seriously trying to argue that Ed Sheeran gets a pass because people in the audience just wanted to hear music, not political opinions. Have a day off. If they wanted to hear music they wouldn't have been at an Ed Sheeran show.

"Can I play the latest game in the series without playing the others?" is so corny. "Oooh new shiny me wanty." No. You will play all 18 previous titles in the series or you won't play the new one at all. Don't try and have unearned fun. Not on my watch.

I know there's a lot of armchair quarterbacking in a lot of fields and it's often right to dismiss it. But I firmly believe if you picked pretty much anyone - me, you, one of my cats, anyone - and put them in charge of PlayStation we could do a better job.

I'm really into this new console war. It used to be PlayStation and Xbox trying to kill each other. Boring. Everyone could see where it was going. This one is way better as they compete to see which can be the shittest. Xbox has a real chance now. Excited to see where it goes.

One thing I hate is when in a movie or whatever someone has to sacrifice some blood for some reason, and they slash their palm. They always do the palm. Why would you choose the palm? Why not the back of your hand? Seems wildly unnecessary and I judge any character that does it harshly.
