I'll be reporting plenty on Overwatch 2 in the future, but for now: Maintaining a live service game is hard enough without building a totally new game on top, which is hard enough without constant company crises, which is hard enough without massive attrition. Worth some empathy

Let’s be clear, this ban is dangerous and directly violates a woman's constitutional right to choose. We must stop it.
As president, I will codify Roe into federal law and ensure this choice remains between a woman and her doctor. thestate.com/news/politics-g…

I say this without exaggeration: this will get kids killed
Quite the shock tactic for fundraising: Michigan congressional candidate (state Sen. Tom Barrett) sends text messages that open with this language:
"your child's gender reassignment surgery has been booked"

How do you open?

This is creepy af, friends. Please share with blizzpeeps and other affected people you know. I'm doing so here and elsewhere.
Googling the number that called me shows it belongs to one Nicki Egan. Her Twitter appears to be @nweisenseeegan - definitely a journalist, and one who's written about Cosby before. Despite what she said to me, doesn't seem like a law firm.
Be really careful, peeps.

My cast list for any new Lord Of The Rings is also the cast list of Ted Lasso, a thread.
Let's start with an easy one: Aragorn. No fucking second breakfasts for any fucking hobbits or any other fucking muppets with this Aragorn.

There are 8/21 week bear crosses all over the place in high multiple/growth Tech, that is always the exit signal for even the long-term owners (have to respect what market is telling you)

when your most senior employees resign en masse that means your business decisions are good and the more of them that resign the better your decisions are

It took less than a week for this tweet to age as badly as everything else the NRA has ever done.

ICYMI: A Colorado judge gave law-abiding gun owners something to celebrate.
In an @NRAILA-supported case, he ruled that the city of Boulder’s ban on commonly-owned rifles (AR-15s) and 10+ round mags was preempted by state law and STRUCK THEM DOWN. nraila.org/articles/20210315…
