AOC: “The mistake that I made, you know, from all the movies that we see growing up about heroes & villains — is that I thought that fascist takeover attempts were going to be architected by evil geniuses — I was not expecting how unearned, nepotistic, mediocre, & just dumb the architects would be”

We elected you to Congress to be a check on executive power, not a spectator. You swore an oath to defend the Constitution, not to protect a man who threatens democracy, threatens war, and threatens the future. Stop hiding behind voters. Stop punting responsibility. DO YOUR JOBS.👇

Really appreciate the literal timeline cleanse that is Artemis II perfect landing. 💜 loved watching it live with my kiddos. Humans aren’t perfect, but we have our proud moments.

GAMA members: You should have an email from GAMA offering the opportunity to comment on GAMA's dues structure. Please consider taking time to comment on the fact that individual creators should NOT pay the same membership fee as a large publisher. (That's the current structure. $300 each.)

I feel like a schizophrenic. “Dang. I hope my mad king doesn’t follow through with his threat to commit a genocide he posted on social media. Can’t wait for Pokémon Champions to drop tonight!”

Downtown. 2nd Ave. If you accidentally left your gun and your sword downtown, cops found it.

I'm glad the US pilot is safe but the sheer discrepancy shown by most Americans of all political stripes between the value of the life a soldier who *literally signed up for this shit* and the value of the lives of thousands of civilians who didn't is indefensible under any coherent moral code

This timeline is corrupted in the weirdest ways

Americans: We just want health care Republicans: How about another Middle East war?

ALERT: Mattel has been pushing game designers to submit pitches using their My Mattel Ideas portal, even if designers are in discussions with Mattel people directly. The portal forces you to commit to a royalty cap of 1.5% plus a 10% deduction to net sales - effectively 1.35%.

PSA: if you have a modern fridge that sadly doesn’t hold magnets, I have two words for you: ‘static clings’ Can’t believe it’s taking me 8 years and 2 kids to realize the potential

BREAKING: The Pennsylvania House just passed @repkenyatta.com's bill to codify marriage equality into law in PA — and they did it with broad bipartisan support. Here in Pennsylvania, we believe in your freedom to marry who you love. Today, the House has stepped up to protect that right.

In my darkest moments, I fear that this is how democracy dies. Not with a secret conspiracy conducted in the middle of the night. But with a brazen confession made public in the light of day. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...

Incumbent German electricity suppliers said in 1993 that renewables could not provide more than 4% of electricity in the long run. In 2025, renewables provided 55.9% of Germany's electricity — 14 times the predicted ceiling.

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

Just a reminder that The Bonsai Diary print-and-play is 50% off to celebrate its Origins Award nomination. That's a whopping $2.50 off! (And if you truly can't afford it, there are still 27 free community copies available of the ashcan/prototype) stickydoodler.itch.io/the-bonsai-d...

#MoneyMonday Hitting a milestone that requires you to register for collecting and remitting U.S. sales tax is both exciting ("I'm a real business!") and intimidating ("I'm now obligated to file timely regular reports") there's one bonus perk you might not realize immediately-

They called him “Sleepy Joe” because you could sleep at night when he was President.

One more post about "Roll for Learning"! Here's a 'book talk' that Play Story Press organized with me, @docfarber.bsky.social and Will about this playable volume composed of 51 educational micro TTRPGs. Find it below, and watch for the moment where we momentarily lost Drew and kept going anyway!

I’ve been following the journey of this game for a while and I’m so excited it’s finally launching! A real time, roll and write sounds like it shouldn’t work, but it does and it’s so good! www.kickstarter.com/projects/urb...

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

Trump does not have the authority to start a war in Iran. And yet, he’s moving in the direction of committing ground troops. If Republicans in Congress do not want to serve their constituents or their constitutional duty, they should just resign.

I don't know, but I guess it bothers me some that the President of the United States posted on social media that it is his great honor to be killing people. 🤷‍♂️

I say this with every ounce of patriotism, love, and righteousness in my being: F*ck Lindsay Graham and f*ck this congress.

It's #MoneyMonday. Today I've started my budget recap of #GAMAExpo2026. More orders are trickling in so I won't have a full snapshot of profit for another week or so, but I do know I'm in the black. 🎉 And that's despite having a $300 piece of equipment stolen from our booth during the show 😕
