Good to know. Glad I live in a state whose local government values public health.

When on an interview, one is practically guaranteed to be asked to “tell me about yourself”…so I thought I’d start a new series focused on exactly that. #jobsearch #tellmeaboutyourself #edtech

Part of what makes @blueprincegame.bsky.social so special is that each and every room is a brilliant exercise in environmental storytelling. How can #teachers use this to their advantage? Full episode @ youtube.com/ENGAGEshow #blueprince #gamebasedlearning #projectbasedlearning

PSA for anyone else playing #Silksong: DON'T read the patch notes! Neither @teamcherry.bsky.social nor sites like @polygon.com, @ign.com, @destructoid.bsky.social etc. used spoiler tags or put up any spoiler warnings, so if you don't want anything spoiled, don't read any of it.

So yes…in case there somehow was any doubt, let’s squash it right now: #Silksong is indeed excellent.

Join us as we step foot into the mysterious manor atop Mt. Holly & discover how the indie roguelite puzzler sensation @blueprincegame.bsky.social can open doors to #PBL opportunities in art, design, and humanities. Full episode: youtu.be/HA1152Jve2o?... #education #playmatters #teacherlife

[TV SPOILERS] —— Incredible how @gamechangershow.bsky.social actually gave Jacob Wysocki that $100K prize, according to the behind the scenes posted on @dropout.tv today. I can only imagine as Jacob is such a generous person that he shared much of that with his friends and co-stars.

...it's been a sad week...but it's Friday, damn it! youtu.be/9h5LQsawLpo?...

Still sad over the loss of Ozzy. Can’t believe this was filmed shortly after 9/11… youtu.be/WhssDkNkeZ8?...

Not only has Trump undoubtedly had a hand in forcing Colbert off the air, but Republicans in Congress have now stripped funding from NPR & CBS. youtube.com/shorts/Gxa_a... This is seriously scary to see.

Every single celebrity who has ever benefited from the Colbert bump should be taking a stand for Colbert and The Late Show staff today.

The implications of Trump effectively forcing cancellation of The Late Show on CBS are enormous. This. Is. Not. Normal. #nokings

Haven't seen any of the social videos yet here or on Instagram. Are they not showing up until the episode is over? @gamechangershow.bsky.social

So... this @gamechangershow.bsky.social isn't live, is it?

Haven’t been on BlueSky in quite a while but thought I’d shout out @dropout.tv in the hopes that they’ll bring on Nathan Barnatt for more than just a cameo role in the upcoming season of Make Some Noise.

@dropkickmurphys.com music video for “Who’ll Stand With Us” pairs well with @governor.ca.gov’s important speech this evening. youtu.be/5BRHuiRyVEE?...

Faith leaders and a crowd are gathered at the Federal Building right now. Video taken by a 50501 organizer on the ground. @50501movement.bsky.social

I could easily see “Crowd Control” on @dropout.tv’s stellar Game Changer being its own show - for at least a one-off season, anyway. It’s an interesting concept to tee up interesting talking points via T-shirt for comedians to experiment with in a funny yet empathetic manner.

Revisiting #MegaMan remixes tonight and found this 8 bit version of Wily 1 from Mega Man 11 that adds some clever harmonies. youtu.be/H5XiQAq5MP4?... Can’t believe we’re approaching *seven years* since that game came out! What gives, @capcomusa.com / #Capcom?

@dianeravitch.bsky.social Apparently the Gates Foundation is now planning to wind down its operations. Can't help but notice how articles celebrating their philanthropic work avoid mentioning K-12 education. I'm sure that's no coincidence. apnews.com/article/bill...

🐣 ANNOUNCEMENT 🐣 PAPERKLAY HAVE A RELEASE DATE!!! My 3D Platformer where you rotate and unfold a paper and cardboard world is launching on May 27th! Featuring the Banjo Kazooie composer on the title track! I’m SO excited for this! Share to help <3 store.steampowered.com/app/1350720/...

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

Ended up staying up way too late tonight playing @blueprincegame.bsky.social b/c I found an extremely rare room that featured puzzles I felt like I had to solve on the spot or risk not seeing that room again for ages…& then it led to more puzzles. Love this game, but I wish you could save mid-run.

Tariffs are a tool and when applied strategically, can be extremely useful. President Trump’s blanket tariffs are going to cause pain and we often hear people say “it’s short-term pain,” working class Americans can’t afford any more pain. Period. #CuomoTownHall

Meanwhile, as #CuomoTownHall was happening, the Senate failed to pass *bipartisan* legislation that would have curbed Trump’s ability to enact tariffs on a whim. #Democrats actually could have passed this…but @whitehouse.senate.gov was on a plane when the vote was cast. apnews.com/article/trum...

It’s absolutely laughable how #CuomoTownHall asks Republicans appearing tonight whether they’re in favor of taxing billionaires to make them pay their fair share - which @sanders.senate.gov has advocated doing for decades - and acting like the GOP would possibly lead that charge. Seriously?

Throes of the Watchmaker — a free DLC for Sea of Stars — is coming to all platforms on May 20th, 2025! 🎪 Catch a glimpse of the wacky post-game adventure in this brand-new trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgFi...

Dear @davidhogg.bsky.social & @democrats.org: Please stop sending incessant emails to me every day asking for more donations. #Seriously. STOP.

Assuming @thebandcake.bsky.social is an official account, it’s great to see CAKE endorse @subradioband.bsky.social ‘s relevant political parody of “The Distance” here:

Palette cleanser time: The Internet has failed me again in failing to bring this superb #ska cover of "Armored Armadillo" from #MegaManX to my attention sooner. Someone needs to bring The Holophonics to @magfest.org !

A vital watch.

Van Hollen: And it's also important that people understand this case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

In case anyone doubted whether we’re in a constitutional crisis, the official White House Twitter account just made it blatant and official (and in the most tactless way possible). This is not AI-generated or Photoshop. See for yourself at x.com/WhiteHouse/s... Trump is now openly defying SCOTUS.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Tonight, I received an email re: #HandsOff from @moveon.org. The email notes how the GOP has the House by a slim majority & how they want to flip 2 seats…and I’m sitting here wondering: where were they when @nationalgroundgame.bsky.social tried to win the special elections in FL?

@cbsnews.com is also reporting this. www.cbsnews.com/amp/baltimor...

Historians — Is this crisis unprecedented in US History?

Trump said again he’s open to sending U.S. citizens to a Salvadoran prison. There is no constitutional basis for this—such an act would be a direct violation of the Constitution.

Finished Thank Goodness You're Here today, and...well, it's good to play a video game that revolves around comedy as there are so few of those...but I wouldn't say it had me busting a gut. There are some bits worth a chuckle, but it's not the funniest video game I've ever played.

While I greatly appreciate BlueSky as an alternative to that other site I used to use for professional networking and insightful conversations about game-based learning & game design, there sure is a need for better balance against doomscrolling here. Hope this helps. youtu.be/McOtbbyU8Qs?...

When the term “media literacy” gets thrown around, people often think first of raw mechanical tech skills like coding, or they think of research skills & assessing reliability of information…but design & systems thinking are also integral. Prime example: @pearlmania500.bsky.social on tariffs.

…yikes. Thank goodness for this judge striking down this transparent nonsense.

A vital read. I was under the impression from other posts that the House simply passed the bill in its complete form (for lack of better phrase) and that it was already on its way to the Senate. Thank you @bbkogan.bsky.social for sharing this.

Certainly curious about @blueprincegame.bsky.social. Wish it was playable on Switch or macOS. Perhaps in the future?

These are excellent questions that everyone including parents & students must ask. As someone that once served as a director of ed tech & innovation, I can speak to how school budgets have already been slashed to ribbons. Many can’t afford to employ internal ed tech leaders despite clear need.

I *really* want @nintendolife.com to be right about this. #Nintendo & Koei Tecmo, if your next trailer for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment does reveal that exploration *will* be possible via playing as #Zelda herself, THAT would get me excited for #Switch2. youtu.be/ofUD4r3i9co?...

Sanders: If Musk can do this to federal employees, some of whom are in unions, some of whom have worked for years, what do you think he's going to be doing when artificial intelligence and robotics comes for your job?

Been hearing about Blue Prince all day today. Sounds sort of like a single player Betrayal at House on the Hill to me. Has anyone here played it? www.destructoid.com/gamers-have-...
