Welcome to Bluesky: Weird Al is on here but you sometimes don’t immediately get told that. That’s most of the important information.

This was SO much fun! The new course is beautiful, fun, and funny. Only got to see the normal version, because playing with seven allows for lots more downtime. But that is a MASSIVE feature, not a bug. Great time hanging out with friends, both old and new. And we found all the lost balls!

7-player game of @walkaboutminigolf.bsky.social tonight with friends from the @boardgameblitz.bsky.social discord! Getting to socialize without having to leave the house is the bessssst. @quaidrayn.bsky.social @nyobari.net @unclegramps.bsky.social

🚨EXCLUSIVE: I asked Sen. Tina Smith if Donald Trump is to blame for the cruelty infecting America. She absolutely torched him: “Trump makes us think people are ASSHOLES. They’re not. HE IS.” A sitting U.S. Senator just called Trump an asshole. Mic. Freaking. Drop. 🎤

Am I crazy or a genius? You decide.

I’m going live at 3:00 Eastern with @protospielo.bsky.social to help give away some prizes to live viewers in celebration of their most recent event! We’ll chat with up and coming designers about their latest projects. Join me, Heather, and @crystaldax.bsky.social for the fun! twitch.tv/protospielo

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim! Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

And I’ll do it again.

It is becoming unbelievably difficult to stay both informed and sane

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote. We're calling on the Senate to reject this legislation.

BREAKING: The country of Norway just entered a bill to give transgender Americans asylum in the country of Norway… LGBTQ+ STRONG! 🌈✨

If you're in congress and you aren't publicly in favor of banning the trading of individual stocks by people in congress, get your head out of your fucking ass.

Please take a tiny break from doomscrolling and enjoy a video of my little “Helly-copter”. Then, take a deep breath and do some self-care for yourself.

Yesterday reminded me of how nice a man Max Caulfield is. I wouldn’t say I “know him well”, but I spent some time with him last weekend-a LITTLE more time thirty years ago-and he’s sincerely embraced your celebration of his character. You should know he enjoys Rex Manning Day, and appreciates you.

Damn the man! Save the empire! @ethanembry.bsky.social Happy Rex Manning Day!

Oh hey that’s me in the pink shirt at the very end of the video! #VegasStrong #HandsOff #FDT

These are the same people that were willing to let their grandparents die so they could eat at Arby's again without a mask

We just want to remind you: You’re not alone. We’re all in this together, and we’ll get through it together. We’ve seen so many people sharing their feelings of anxiety and stress—please take a moment for yourself. Your well-being matters. Sending you hugs—you are amazing, and we love you all! 💚

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Wait this is so funny. This guy is mad that I limited replies on my post. Because he wanted to be able to criticize me. And now he’s even more mad that I….replied to his post and criticized him. LMAOOOO John you can’t have it both ways! 😂😂😂😂

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s *obsession* with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Heyoooo! #StarTrek #StarTrekTNG #STData

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME Congress didn’t pass a law requiring NIH-funded trials to include women until 1993. Drug trials with government funding only started including women in the NINETIES And that’s only drug trials! And not ones with private funding! Health research FAMOUSLY excludes women.

REMINDER: Join me in 45 minutes (3:00 PM Eastern) for some great discussion with up and coming designers, and some stupid games about weird numbers for prizes! twitch.com/protospielo

I’ve once again researched some weird numbers, and you can guess them for prizes this Sunday! Plus, @crystaldax.bsky.social will be there, and we’ll be talking to some up and coming designers!

In today’s episode we talk about our goals from 2024 and if we succeeded! We also talk about Bomb Busters from @pegasusspiele.bsky.social and Gussy Gorillas from @bitewinggames.bsky.social Listen now on your podcast players, YouTube, or our site! www.boardgameblitz.com/posts/402/ep...

You can get his first tshirt design on our @boardgameblitz.bsky.social TeePublic merch store (on sale now!) It’s one of our most popular designs 😂 www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/6932...

If you've enjoyed Cryptmaster, please consider sharing the news. Despite an IGF award, a 95% Steam rating and a free demo, the game has gone mostly unnoticed by both press and players. It's not just a typing game and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it!

This is something I could easily google, but instead I’m going to muse about it here. Does Olive Garden have some kind of exclusivity deal with Andes Mints? They must, right? Because those things are awesome and I feel like more restaurants would have them if they could.

Wore my #PizzaJohn shirt to #DopamemeLasVegas today. Fun place! Love all the fun experiential stuff that pops up at #Area15. @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social @hankgreen.bsky.social @superplastic.bsky.social

If you missed my stream last week, part 1 of my LOK Digital playthrough is on YouTube now! It’s based on the puzzle book LOK and is like a word search but with words that give you abilities. It’s really neat! I got a key from @draknek.bsky.social @icedropgames.bsky.social @letibus.bsky.social

Happy Birthday to me! 🎉

My 40th birthday is on Tuesday. Please tell me your favorite life hack as your gift to me!

Do you have any idea how badly you have to fuck up a website to get a band that relies on social media to sell tickets to our little shows and stuff to nuke an account where we had 160k followers

Congratulations on everyone who worked on Lower Decks episode 9 this season, it's superb

Man the thing about Ko-Fi and Patreon and stuff is like, for the price of a gacha pull per month, you can be part of the reason why someone you believe in gets to pursue what they actually want to do. Through the power of many you can help ppl you like chase their dreams for a gacha pull per month.

I had a history teacher who in 1986 told us that the Berlin wall will sadly not fall in our lifetime. I think about this all the time when idiots insist that some circumstances cannot be changed

Do you want some joy in your life? Watch #StarTrekProdigy on Netflix and #StarTrekLowerDecks on Paramount.

Time to BOLDLY GO rewatch #StarTrekProdigy on Netflix! 🖖✨🚀

Today’s the last episode before our holiday break! We talk about puzzle games (Adrift and the Exit advent calendar) and the deduction trick taking game Stich für Stich, and then have a chat with high schooler Sara Beth about her idea to design a board game! www.boardgameblitz.com/posts/399/ep...

People say that Bluesky is Twitter for the left, but the replies to this make it clear that Bluesky is Twitter for Star Trek nerds.

My proof that BlueSky is like “old twitter” is that I have a weirdly large amount of pro-wrestling posts in my feed from people I’ve never interacted with. I feel like @beardedrogue.bsky.social is somehow responsible.😅 Shoutout to wrestling fans—your thing isn’t my thing, but I love your passion!

I had someone recommend that I restart my X account, which had ~100k followers, to “gain even more reach.” Nope. I deleted the account altogether, and am not going back. The site is unsafe, doesn’t respect its community, and doesn’t meet any reasonable professional standards. Staying here.
