Today on Tales from the Backlog, @troytlepower.bsky.social and I take to the seedy streets and alleyways of Santa Monica for a discussion about Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines! As always, no spoilers for a while- enjoy! LISTEN: talesfromthebacklog.fireside.fm/210 WATCH: youtu.be/GGjndGXg0Aw

hey guys, has anyone else noticed that everything is expensive as shit right now? on a totally unrelated note, has anyone noticed that everything seems bad right now? on another unrelated note, has anyone else noticed that their mental health ain't great right now?

Coming to Tales from the Backlog in April- long chats about video games, if you can believe it! With special guests: @traviscolenutt.bsky.social @troytlepower.bsky.social @nostalgiumpod.bsky.social @funandgamespod.bsky.social @jgalecki.bsky.social @characterissues.bsky.social Let's go!

Look I used to love Harry Potter growing up... Even have an Elder Wand from Universal Studios Orlando in a box somewhere collecting dust. But fuck JK Rowling and what she stands for 😁

mom suffered hemorrhagic shock after major internal bleeding and is now in sub-intensive care, but doctors are having a hard time treating the clot in her heart with the ongoing risk of internal bleeding. still no word on discharge. any shares appreciated ❤️ www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

Tim Sweeney’s net worth is 9.6 billion

Just gonna leave this here for no reason whatsoever www.ign.com/articles/tim...

*taps the "profit losses are the fault of executive leadership, who are conveniently never affected by profit loss" sign*

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

Yes. Yes yes yes.

I don't know what Mewgenics is and at this point I'm afraid to ask.

this woman has never been inside a library and would immediately defund and shut down all libraries if given the opportunity

This will only make sense to Oregonians, but Culver City is like if they made The Pearl District out of Lake Oswegos. The entire thing is $3 million houses and gyms that carry Kiehls products.

Vote to fund ICE or ICE will kill more people, says cross-wearing psychopath

Absolutely nothing else on those shelves have been touched. No book has been read, no trinket adjusted... except the one. Just the one.

If AG Bondi claims to care about Epstein survivors, why did she reveal their identities but redact the names of the rich pedophiles and sex abusers who hurt them? She must take accountability for this cover-up and finally deliver the justice these victims deserve.

LIEU: These two photos staring you in the face are evidence of a crime and more than enough evidence to predicate an investigation into former Prince Andrew. So why did you shut down this investigation? BONDI: I don't believe you asked Merrick Garland these questions LIEU: You are in charge

Snowflakes.

To put it another way: Jeff Bezos could easily ensure there are no staff cuts at The Washington Post for the next decade, and he'd still have more than $249B in net worth left over.

using the bullet-time buff adhd meds give me to stare at my blank canvas imagining everything i can draw

96 court orders... THIS YEAR

CNN airs compilation of federal agents acting with extreme aggression towards peaceful observers.

Maybe you should call your senator

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Bipartisan negotiators released a DHS funding bill that does not significantly reduce ICE and CBP’s funding nor rein in the agencies’ abuses of power. Make no mistake: Any Democrat who votes for this bill is complicit in Trump’s campaign of terror. Grow a spine and vote no.

While obviously Trump backing down is a good thing, there will be two frustrating immediate consequences: 1) he will be praised for doing so despite having caused so much unrest and disruption and 2) the lesson he will learn is treat allies shabbily and you get what you want

Whenever you see the wild swings in Trump admin policy, just know that although it may be terrible for your mental health and the stability of everyone, a lot of people in the admin are making bank through insider trading. *pauses* Okay, that’s worse.

Greg Bovino is very small.

hell yea.

Has the Justice Department explained, yet why they brought a puppy to a female 20 year convicted underage sex trafficker and rapist? Do they regularly bring a puppy to a prisoner? No? Why this one?

every time I read this, I get apocalyptically apoplectic about how clear it is. it is instant. it does not require explicit congressional action to invoke, it instead only requires that to remove. donald trump is not the current president right now, according to the constitution.

just saw this pop up elsewhere: The Minnesota Rebel Alliance logo. Well done, everybody. www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

"I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace."

So stand on the floor and publicly call them racists, daily. And then go on TV and call them racists, daily. They are no longer your “fellow senators” or “colleagues on the other side of the aisle.” They are bigots, misogynists, and racists who have a white nationalist agenda.

The most effective thing the EU could do right now is threaten a World Cup/Olympics boycott. Trump doesn't care if the cost of stuff goes up but he wants those to go on without a hitch.

The goal here is to do whatever it takes to force the MAGAs to back down before we get to a point of "the USA launches an imperialist war against the European Union." Achieving this may require temporarily inconveniencing us Americans. sorry!! tough shit!

When I first read The Hobbit, I became genuinely anxious about getting challenged to riddle duels. I still don’t like reading this scene. Not knowing the answers the narrator calls obvious stress me out, even though it’s been three decades and it hasn’t come up once. @rangedtouch.bsky.social

I don’t know how many people in the Twin Cities were clutching pearls about OMG TRANS KIDS IN SPORTS but I hope they get a chance to reflect on shit that really matters.

This is currently The Best Thing I've Watched All Year.

We are told there isnt enough money for healthcare. Yet Trump is using 30 Billion taxpayer dollars to put more ICE thugs on our streets

Minneapolis clown protester sings song to President Trump "You're an a*shole, you've been an a*shole all your life, and your friends all tell me you've got an a*shole for a wife. Your kids are a*sholes too...we'll fight you with courage, let our love shine in!" LIVE NOW ⬇️

This is illegal and she needs to be impeached immediately

This is unsalvagable.

No, President Trump. Illegally canceling $2 billion in funding to deal with the mental health, addiction and opioid crises will not Make America Healthy Again. It will lead to more illnesses, more overdoses and more deaths. This blatantly unconstitutional act must be rescinded.
