My best lady played Breath of The Wild for the first time and she had some objections to how Link eats 🤣

While at @FTC, I've focused on enforcing the law without fear or favor & using all our tools to promote fair, honest, competitive markets.
Grateful to my senior team & the staff who delivered so many wins for Americans.
A summary of what we accomplished:
ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov…
Having to write a thread like this and getting hate raided over your actions in a video game is blowing my mind with how stupid it is.
To those trying to character assassinate me online for a bad pull in Diremaul WoW Hardcore. This is Hardcore WoW and a lot is on the line when you step foot into a dungeon. Here is a light breakdown of the last 24 hours.
Our party went the wrong way and overpulled multiple packs with a boss. The shotcaller made the call to run then went back on that call. During the run out another pack was pulled as we had opted to skip it previously which is never a good thing. Communication was completely broken throughout this and it was our second time failing the dungeon. Everyone played poorly and two people ultimately lost their characters for it.
Each person in this group made mistakes including myself. I have never once said I was perfect in my play nor that I was a god gamer. I'm just an ex-Blizzard employee that has played mage for a long time.
To pin that on a single person is absurd at best and if you're calling for death and cancellation over it you're too invested in this content in a very unhealthy way. If you're a creator engaging in this kind of behavior then eventually your content wave will end but the relationships you've sullied will be permanent. Hope it was worth it for you.
To those trying to defend me. Don't worry about it. This too shall pass. Do not attack anyone else on my behalf. I've always hated that kind of behavior. I have no intention of stopping making things or not doing stuff as I already have been.
Those who were banned will stay so. I've never liked that kind of knee-jerk reaction behavior in our community before and I will not be changing that now.
For those that don't understand why they will stay banned. We had a ten hour long hate-raid over it live on Twitch. We had to ban nearly 4,000 accounts across all platforms and our moderators received death threats regularly throughout it all. People called for me to be killed both in-game and out of game. They tried to get me banned from Twitch, the guild, and WoW. They tried to make disparaging comments about our ferret rescue or that we somehow hurt animals. They tried to spread rumors saying I was convicted of felonies and many other things.
The internet hate machine will not defeat me or the community that supports me. See you in WoW Hardcore tomorrow.

One billionaire couple owns almost all the water in California.
In 1994, the Resnicks secretly seized control of California’s public water supply.
Now their companies use 150 billion gallons every year while working class people suffer under drought conditions.

Sorry for tweeting so much, but Twitter throttles out-bound links, so I'm trying this again.
SoCal animal shelters are overwhelmed with people dropping off injured animals they can't take with them as they flee. Many are in need of volunteers, money, and foster homes 🧵

The @FTC previously ordered Epic Games to pay $245 million for tricking players into making unwanted purchases & letting kids rack up unauthorized charges.
We are now sending the first round of refunds totaling more than $72 million to those harmed.

Seems like it should be a bigger story that landlords, food conglomerates, and now hotels have all been caught conspiring to jack up prices.

Last year, Walz also approved the nation's broadest right-to-repair law, allowing independent shops and owners of phones, laptops, and other electronic devices to more easily repair products without relying on corporations like Apple and Google.
