Hey nerds: looking up to someone who turns out to be shitty and manipulative isn't a reflection on you. You also were manipulated.
What is a refelection on you is continuing to look up to - and defend - people who you know know are shitty and manipulative.

and I are overjoyed, excited, already exhausted...and we really hope it's a while before he learns to wield that axe.
Sorry if a civil rights battle, a global pandemic, a climate catastrophe, a historic job loss, and threats to ignore election results have "radicalized" me.
Do you go online?
Are you a creator, a director, an artist, a writer, a filmmaker, a comedian, a thinker, a doer?
Do you play games, watch movies, binge shows, tweet friends, share pics, stalk celebs, read news?

It's a brutal day for my friends, former colleagues, and for the state of digital media.
Thank you to the hundreds of producers, writers, animators, on-camera talent, and editors who made years worth of incredible, wildly popular entertainment.
And Funhaus.
If you grew out quarantine facial hair and didn't shave it in the style of HRH Charles I, King of England, Scotland, and Ireland, can you even be considered a model Cavalier?
I'm SO excited to announce I'm joining the team at
@Smosh
! I'm lucky to get to work with some of the most talented, creative minds in digital media, and I can't wait to get started.
As bad as things may get, never forget that we live in a time where I just watched a massive rocket perform a flawless takeoff on the way to drop off a car on Mars, boosters perfectly returning and landing upright, on my phone, in line for pizza.
What a world.

This holiday season we’re going to have twice as much to celebrate!

If you're planning on joining/returning to a gym as your New Year's resolution, start now!
The gym is EMPTY and you can figure out your routine at your own pace without any pressure!
Then, when it gets packed on Jan 1, you glide through the crowd with the confidence of a Rubin.
I'm feeling very video games, and very thirsty. Anyone know about a video games event with drinking I could attend tomorrow?
Maybe some sort of "Live Stream"?
Working at Inside Gaming is one of the highlights of my while life, and I'm so happy for the guys and gals who get to make it again.
I won't be there on this journey but my ghost will always haunt them behind the camera, threatening with one word...

We had such a great time at our baby shower yesterday. We are lucky to have such amazing, supportive friends.
Special thanks to
@adamkovic
for the heartfelt message.
At a bar next to a first date:
Boy: "What's your drink?
Girl: "Whiskey & Sprite. Yours?"
B: "Is that even a cocktail?! Hahaha, kidding. I USED to drink whiskey but my friends don't let me any more. Long story. Too much Fireball."
G: "Fireball? That's not even whiskey."

Hanukkah isn't a major holiday for us Jews. We just celebrate a miracle light that burned long time - it was still there
After all the attacks on synagogues here and abroad it's more important than ever to celebrate the miracle that we're still here
Happy Hanukkah ❤️ the Rubins
What a surprise, some people didn't like me pointing out that SpaceX, an amazing American company, was founded by an African immigrant.
My point isn't anti-American. My point is that what makes America - and our ideas and our companies - great is people from around the world.
Just saying that no one is sending hopes and prayers for the millions of us who stayed in our houses, wore masks, didn't go to in-person events; maybe lost jobs, only got $1,200, had to juggle childcare, and actually sacrificed for the greater good.
Whoops I accidentally put a beer in the freezer for 20 minutes
Whoops I opened it and it's icy cold
Whoops I drank it all
Whoops there's another beer in the freezer
Last night for my birthday I got...
Book recommendations from Alex
A Polish cartoon from Elyse
Life advice from Brett
An offer for personal training from James
A surprise dinner with my friends from Dana
...and a hangover this morning that was absolutely worth it.
