Fuck, and I cannot emphasize this enough, Greg Abbott

I'm dropping a 2 for 1

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers:

@grubb.wtf the Grubbsnax discussion around how to break into the industry. Would love to chat with you about how I fell into the industry and my advice for people wanting to break in.

The Vanity Fair photographer knew what he was doing. (I doubt I’m the first to notice this but it hasn’t graced my TL)

@thegameawards.com very awkward watching the show with my kid when Divinity's trailer comes on. Can yall label the show as mature audiences in the future?

@giantbomb.bsky.social @janochoa.bsky.social al @tolkoto.com has the mug breaking happened? Mike asked to be reminded after the subathon. Just want to make sure its on the radar so I don't pester.

@jerf.xyz new pinball pickup

@giantbomb.bsky.social did I miss @tolkoto.com break a mug for the $250 Kofi payment?

@tolkoto.com just a reminder since you asked for one. Breaking a mug video/on stream was requested.

@floppyadult.com @lotusloveslotus.bsky.social for the quote about the dogs eating the dog food. I agree its bad choice of words, but the context is probably that they were thinking in terms of "dogfooding" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_...

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

I just used my cars voice activated GPS and asked it to go to a place named Mario's. @jerf.xyz how did you infect my car with that pronunciation?

People don't understand that ending political violence means state sponsored as well. They are calling for the dismantling of entire government institutions.

Is denying people healthcare, kidnapping people from their jobs to be sent to detention camps, targeting minorities with legislation and hate speech campaigns not political violence?

At the risk of spending too much time on an exhausting Bluesky meta-discourse, I encourage people to actually read about Adeel Mangi's confirmation before chalking this up to People Online Who Are Reflexively Mean to Democrats. They fucked this up. Emil Bove is part of the price to pay for it.

What’s going on with my "tops" and, in some cases, "bottoms?”

Actually what Americans just saw today was a prominent Republican US Senator announce he is quitting because he knows this budget is going to hurt millions of people and he was repeatedly threatened by the president and his cult for telling the truth about it.

To counter this trend, please enjoy this picture of Petra on my lap being literally the best cat.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social need a fit check.

Just me screaming into the void that based on Mike Huckabee's text to Trump, Trump is considering using nuclear force in Iran.

@janochoa.bsky.social hey duder, do you still have all those Gameboy advanced games I sent that y'all did the show with?

@austinwalker.bsky.social hey buddy, do you have a reading list of your favorite books?

@grubb.wtf hey, just watched your update. I watched in real time as someone struggled with the same realities of life that I am struggling with. You do you! You're entitled to some down time due to the anxiety and depression and stress of all that has happened over the past few weeks or months.

@janochoa.bsky.social @grubb.wtf @jerf.xyz how can we best support the GB staff right now? Subscriber since 01/2014 that hasn't used the merch discount in years just to make sure y'all get a little extra.

There's a horse (tranquilizer addict) loose in a hospital

Wait...people really think Kendrick Lamar's performance was supposed to be patriotic? Please bring back liberal arts 😭😭😭

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

@alexnavarro.bsky.social @tolkoto.com @grubb.wtf I know it's been on the site, but Garfield lasagna world tour for Dan?

NYT Tomorrow: Trump is coming for trans people, immigrants, public employees, foreign aid, higher education, media, the environment, and science. We can’t save them all. Here’s why he’ll stop if we abandon trans people and foreigners. By David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel

The ovulation tracking app, "Ovia", now mandates you identify what state you live in. Delete immediately and warn anyone who might need to know.

@kenwhite.bsky.social this is gonna get a lot worse before it gets better huh?

Thank you The Onion for what you do. As always, "tu stultus es". theonion.com/heres-why-i-...

Got to experience the quiet beauty of Sequoia while I reset last weekend.

@austinwalker.bsky.social do you have a recommended podcast for political theory insight and in depth study? Ever thought about doing it yourself?

I finally did it Wordle 1,192 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

@darthbluesky.bsky.social this cat and dog pair need love.

Unimaginable...

How have we lost our capacity for understanding nuance? I can be outraged by Hamas' actions, and Israel's response without being a supporter of terrorists. Tiktok videos explaining how there was valid criticism from bin laden letter 20 years ago are not evidence of supporters of terrorism.
