Yesterday I had to delete my "men should embrace therapy/psychiatry instead of lashing out with rage" tweet because it suddenly became a lightning rod for hundreds of men's rights activist guys flooding my mentions calling me a faggot and a pussy, which, uh, was my whole point. Couple notes on that. Some of these dudes had hundreds of thousands of tweets. Like, 250K tweets. That means they're ok with getting stuff off their chests pretty frequently, meaning they'd probably be great at therapy?

Here is the team behind Cyberpunk telling you they knew their game was a broken mess on consoles but they shipped it anyway - without showing it to anyone - because they wanted your money at launch. Now you’re supposed to spend 2 hours on customer service asking for a refund. I’m enjoying this game for the most part - crashes, bugs, and all - and I’ve played 10 hours on a PC + 20 on a PS5. The latter has hard crashed on me 10 times, is riddled with glitches, pop-in, and freezes. This whole console launch feels completely gross, shady, & inexcusable.

HERE IS THE STORY of the most embarrassed I’ve ever been on an airplane. This only happened a few days ago and I’m still cringing at my own stupidity. It's also pretty funny, so I'm sharing it with you all.

So here goes.

THREAD! I’ve been a father for 8 months. It’s great! I really love it. I fly often for work but my wife and I wanted to wait awhile before we took our daughter on a cross country flight to meet our extended families because babies on airplanes aren’t easy for anybody.
