Packing to leave #PAXEast right now reminded me:
Con drop is real.
It’s okay to not be okay.
You are not alone.
Please take care of your post-convention mental & physical health.
Don’t know what it is?
Here’s a great piece by @Halflingspy:

At the end of each year, #PAXUnplugged is a gift. Experiencing the crowds, interviewing game designers, and of course, playing lots of games.

Im going to scream about this for the rest of my life
Democrats were so committed to existing rules and group-pleasing that most of our signature work took 2-4 years to get started and will now be ribbon cut by Trump.
The narrative that Trump saved the economy and manufacturing will now live on for a generation.
This rise in US manufacturing construction spend via @JosephPolitano is absolutely mindblowing
So many CHIPS & IRA-fueled factories are about to start opening in January you're not gonna believe it

Sometimes, you play a game that hooks you even after you beat it. For our writer James, that game is Tunic and his quest to complete translating its manual. Our review of Tunic by @FinjiCo, and talking about the mechanic that makes it so special.

NEW: We're running a "Last 50 Days" campaign pressuring President Biden to cancel student debt for older Americans—folks in their 60s+ and 70s+ who are running out of time.
These borrowers shouldn't die with student loans.
@JoeBiden must take action before Trump takes office.

Hard to think of a better/more fitting outcome
ALT The Onion has successfully acquired Infowars. The satirical news outlet purchased Alex Jones' right-wing conspiracy empire at a court-ordered auction, the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting announced Thursday. "The dissolution of Alex Jones’ assets and the death of Infowars is the justice we have long awaited and fought for," said Robbie Parker, whose daughter was killed in the 2012 school shooting.

It’s going to take time to sort through what happened Tuesday. But I've read a lot of takes the past few days (some good, many bad), and I've had a lot of people ask how I won one of the toughest districts in the country by over 13%.
Here are some thoughts: 🧵

Low key, China is going to invade Taiwan in a year or two and the world will be chipless. He's still out here quietly saving the world and no one cares

MAGA,
As of today:
- Inflation 2.1%
- Unemployment is 4%
- GDP is 3%
- Manufacturing is booming, and only getting better.
The economic boom you're about to credit to Trump was brought to you by Joe Biden. And when it crashes, that will 100% be on Trump.

The biggest lesson of 2024, IMO:
Campaigns ads don't matter (studies agree), but the media space does.
The right has content mills churning out braindead slop. They're popular. They work.
Dems should plough their massive warchests into progressive & liberal media.
