In 2018, I decided to lose weight. In that next year, I lost 110lbs and learned a lot. Over the next three years (thanks to COVID and job losses) I gained most of it back.
I’m less than a month back into doing it again. Here’s how: https://t.co/uz06ofGaxt
@jammywho21 @sorkinese Also remember that at this point, Charlie is still dating Zoey (I believe... I think this was S2). So doubly-so, this is Bartlet accepting their relationship, in all that entails.
Layers of subtext there. One of the reasons why I love it so much.
@jammywho21 @sorkinese "Charlie, my father gave this to me, and his father gave it to him, and now I'm giving it to you."
You're right, it's implied that Fathers hand it down to Sons. It's not supposed to be excluding his daughters, but bringing Charlie into the family ... as a son.
@sorkinese @twoodfin "You knew. It's -17- people." That was Toby, quietly, pointing out the thing everyone else missed. He saw the flaw in the plan. Perfect showcase of his strategic mind.
@sorkinese Bartlet giving the Paul Revere knife to Charlie gets me every damn time. I don't think it's even the gift, but the setup, and what it meant. Beautiful writing.
But mine is, "... and in this house, when the President stands, nobody sits." When he narrowed his eyes ... chills.
@TheJamesBJones "Don't build your house on rented land."
Rolling your own is the way to go; I say this as a former community manager who built out our message boards.
Or, you know, don't. Community always finds a way. 'But if you don't control it, you don't control it.' - Yogi Berra, probably.
@BidenCerno @sjvanterpool@ZoeSchiffer You don't know how I'm thinking about it; you only know what I posted.
And what you said doesn't make what I posted less true. Yes, maybe this could be an opportunity for those who pass the test. It's still a loyalty test and a shitty thing to do to PEOPLE.
@TheJamesBJones They already have Discord, Reddit, etc. Why would having one less platform make any community manager angry? If anything, it's less public and easier to control.
This is @profgalloway at his best. Straightforward, fearless candor splashed with industry, tech and life wisdom. Highly recommend, he nails it in two minutes.
@dbloodworth2 I don't know why anyone thinks Mastadon would be a suitable substitute. Decentralization kind of kills it. If you're going to do that, just go to Discord?
There's something in God of War Ragnarok which is the most special to me. I got to pitch it and the team made it into everything I could have hoped.
I had hoped to wait for some time to talk about it but want to share it now, just in case.
It's the Ballad of Jari and Somr.
