Aaron Diehl
The biggest hurdle that our communities have is cynicism - saying it's a done deal, who cares; there's no point to voting. If we can get somebody to care, it's a huge victory for the movement and the causes we're trying to advance.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Chuck Klosterman
We're growing into an entertainment medium as opposed to 'We make games. We make Mario jump.' We no longer have to focus so hard on the technical hurdles and can ask, as a player, why am I doing this? Why am I making these choices? Games that don't have that strong foundation stumble.

No difficulty can discourage, no obstacle dismay, no trouble dishearten the man who has acquired the art of being alive.

In February 1991, I was rushed to the hospital in Los Angeles to have my feet amputated. Three years earlier, I had broken the national 100 meters hurdles record while a student at UCLA and was a favourite for the event at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
It's a challenge between me and the hurdle, and the hurdle has always won.

'Somebody That I Used to Know,' like a lot of the record, was a bit of a struggle to finish.

There were constant hurdles.
