2016 still sucked. But for me it sucked in “god this is stupid, I’m so glad it’s temporary” kind of way. It felt like a temporary accident and we learned from our mistakes.

2026 sucks in a “oh fuck, this is how the rest of my life is going to be” kind of way. Everyone knew exactly who Trump was and what he wanted to do; he was still the first choice for most Americans, and now it feels like it will never get better.

Most: Easily Dota 2. -$5 spent (I sold stuff I got for free), 2000+ hours played

The least: Probably a 20 way tie for games I bought on sale on Steam

It was probably the Equal Time Rule which basically means if a broad cast station gives free airtime to one candidate they have to give equal free time to their opponents. The Trump administration has been trying to argue that any negative coverage of Trump is tantamount to free campaign coverage for any Democratic candidates.

Another alternative to a database that will let you practice SQL is duckdb.

I use it frequently at work with python and parquet files which are type safe, compact, and very performant. I use Python with Positron as my IDE (I’m a data scientist) and it has a built in parquet viewer that makes the data exploration a little less abstract.
