Can confirm I'll be on the pod tomorrow! And I'm also continuing my episode review series over on Tumblr! My review of the first episode of Digimon Beatbreak is here: firstagent.tumblr.com/post/7966108...

My kid watched this earlier in the year and seemed to really enjoy it. Plus Alex Brightman's in it, which will never steer you wrong.

Not going to get Digimon Story Time Stranger right away (don't trust it on my current hardware), but I did play the demo last night. Plays good, looks great, and it's everything I expect in a Digimon game, but good lord that's the most disorienting way to throw you into the story and the mechanics.

I need to make dinner but I also need to see the Cubs close this game out. A little starvation is worth it if they can actually win this series, right?

🚨👀 Interesting choice from the #NFL to pick #BadBunny as Super Bowl halftime performer. He has been pretty critical of the Trump regime’s immigration policies. The far right will loser their minds over this www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

My nine year old is predicting the Super Bowl halftime act will either be Sabrina Carpenter or Jason from the Friday the 13th movies. Just registering the guess in case one of those two ends up being right. #NFL

Today's act of resistance: getting a COVID booster without a prescription. Pretty sure this puts me on a list somewhere.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Officially an old nerd dad now. Took my kid to a convention cosplay contest and he recognized and got excited for a character I'd never heard of. I'm expecting my AARP card and complimentary Gunpla kit to arrive soon.

I watched the Nintendo Direct live and still mistook this for a Hard Drive parody.

Spending as little bandwidth as I can on the *other* shooting, but reading about this one brings up interesting points that nobody's going to talk about. Not about the "extreme network;" everyone can deal with that when it's confirmed it's what everyone expects. But this school saved lives...

You don't really process to whay degree the Bears suck until you're relying on them in fantasy on Monday night.

shit like this cannot be ignored and is everyone's problem. there is real evil and danger happening and you will start seeing friends and family disappear if people dont step up. this is not just some guy talking shit. do your research outinstl.com/republican-c...

Finally played my first in-person game of Blood on the Clocktower tonight at Matsuricon! And I was a Minion too, which everyone knows is the most fun.

This is a new one for me: heading to Matsuricon in Columbus for the weekend to work the @animemilwaukee.org table! This'll be my fourth con of the year, which is wild since I had to miss two of my usual shows.

Just me and one other player at game night tonight. Game 1: I pull out a game, I teach it... she crushes me. Game 2: She pulls out a game, she teaches it... I crush her. Everything's in balance. Good night.

Heads up from the inside that a lot of HP ink and toner cartridges will have price increases Monday! Restock now if you're low.

Everyone's asking how we can oppose "efforts to fight crime" in places where crime is an issue. The answer is simple: THESE EFFORTS DON'T WORK.

Gonna be having a talk with my panels team about this. Why would you even want AI in your panel? You're getting a captive audience listening to you talk about your weird obsession; the best ones inject panelist personalities! Why let a shady data center share the spotlight?

Challenge: post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hellhole it is. My ticket out of there two years ago, a comfortable train back to the Baltimore airport, just to say I rode the Acela. DC was amazing.

Been writing a lot of EarthBound stuff lately so this is fun to see!

Took my kid to his first Cubs game. It tied for fastest game of the season, but it was a W! Plus the Sandberg tribute was nice.

Time to be Wicked!

If the right is upset that Superman is an immigrant, wait 'til they find out he's solar-powered.

Sharing for Chie and Ness and Chrono... yeah, that's why.

I can finally say it: my husband was laid off from Crunchyroll recently. What was once a dream job for him was turned into a nightmare when they were bought by Sony and all the hire ups were replaced by AI tech bros who actively tell their employees not to watch anime and hate their fans.

Well here's a little bit of good news.

David Hogg is cooking lately

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

Fuck the polls. Don't fucking rank Cuomo. That's it. That's the assignment. You don't even have to _like_ Mamdani, just don't rank the sex pest who is endorsed and funded by nazis & the ultra-rich, only wants this to run for pres later, and WHO DOESN'T EVEN FUCKING GO HERE!

The NYT's anti-trans fear mongering was cited in a Supreme Court briefing that stripped away the rights of trans kids. They need to be fully blacklisted by queer people and their allies. Don't work for them. Don't use them for book press. Don't speak with them for stories. They made their bed.

Great turnout for a Pride event in a rural Wisconsin city of 5,000! Love the drag show in the old-school park pavilion.

Why did Amtrak run into a pickle with outdated cars on its line through Wisconsin? Spoiler: It's Scott Walker, of course. www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

My newest feat of multitasking is taking a meeting for anime convention planning while simultaneously typing up the official minutes for a school board meeting.

Spent most of this convention hanging out with Overwatch actors, but it's time to unwind with a nice history lesson.

Attending an Iowa Cubs game while I'm here. So wild being at a Triple A game when you play OOTP. So many guys here I've cut or traded in my sim.

Off to work Des Moines Con! I'll let you know later if this 5-hour solo drive is a peaceful break from reality or utter torture. Been a long time since I've driven through Iowa. Anyway, I'll be working one of the guest tables.

Really happy we happened to start watching the new Doctor Who season on May 24. Happy Anniversary to us!

I thought America had problems but I never realized that Trump truly destroyed it until I saw people willingly choosing to be British

Everybody wants to find the top down solution, but it's having local influence that changes things. Maybe try changing the minds of people who don't listen to podcasts.

Important milestone for me and @marcfbr.bsky.social.

Completely cool and all that my eight-year-old son is showing an interest in K-Pop, but baffled that he would start the conversation asking if I spoke Korean. From the way he tries to sing, neither does he.

Starting a thread of random things the Facebook algorithm assumes I'm interested in on any given day, and if I'm even remotely interested in said thing.

This weekend we'll be attending my kid's baseball practice and TWO soccer games on warm sunny days without the aid of shade, sunscreen, or melanin. Welcome to Jackass!

Look, since the new Pope is from Chicago, there’s really only one question that needs to be asked Is he gonna unleash the dragon?

MLB is running a sale on their TV package and I splurged since the Cubs are actually fun to watch this year! So now I can watch them anytime as long as they're not playing Milwaukee. Because that makes sense, right!

I've been in the convention game long enough and interacted with enough voice actors that it's not that big a thing. But it still throws me when I comment on one voice actor's post and a *different* voice actor likes it.

Now that it's May, I went out on a limb and took the plastic off the windows and put away the space heater. So if we get a snowstorm next week, you can put that on me.

OMG I FIGURED IT OUT UNLIKABLE? SOCIOPATHIC? PETULANT? WHINY? STEPHEN MILLER IS GROWN-UP CAILLOU
