Alright Bears, let’s see how badly this goes this time in DC.

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown. “We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

Really hate celebrity usage in adverts. It’s like “hey I’m famous person! Buy this thing because it’s a good deal!” Like shut up. You’re famous and rich. As if you have any idea what you’re shilling and just want an easy paycheck. (Not that I blame them for that but still)

Imagining Jack Frost, Pikachu, and Agumon having a conversation

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes. Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

We also had these big books delivered every so often that had phone numbers listed in them for personals and for business phones. The yellow and white pages we'd call them. You youngins today don't realize how good ya have it with your memory in your phones and your internets and your hoola hoops

Honestly, it needs to go further than this. We need to confront the fact that democracy and wealth hoarding cannot coexist. Allowing people to amass the resources of a small state/country allows them to act as such, which is inimical to a shared society of “one person, one vote.”

But that’s exactly what I wanted GameFreak!!!!

My biggest worry about Z-A is that even Gen 4 had SOME good points/nostalgia to bring up in its side game that made me feel all warm and tingly. Watching someone play through X/Y for the first time before Z-A makes me realize Gen 6 has basically nothing I'm particularly happy or nostalgic for.

I feel like I post about this every year, but one of my favorite lessons in my Civics class, is when I use @jon.gvg.io and @gvg.io's Waddle Dee Knows video to teach the kids about media literacy. #teachersky #educationsky

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

As early as two years ago I thought Arnold Scwarenwgger was a “good” Republican. he’s campaigning to get Californians to vote no on Prop 50 so fascism can continue unchecked. fuck him and fuck every “good” conserv who tried to pretend they were Libertarians who would never abide fascism

Oh, hearing the One Punch Man season 3 start wasn't great... this series really can't catch a break in the anime department can it?

And 100%ed the Trails in the Sky demo. Quite good! I think I might actually pick up the full game.

Credits rolled on Expedition 33, and different endings achieved. This game is phenomenal, and absolutely my GOTY. It's a beautiful experience that's constantly incredible engaging. And it's definitely made it onto my list of favorites. Absolutely see myself trying to beat all the extra content too.

Oh, Pokemon Center charged for my Legends Z-A copy. Nice, hopefully it gets here soon/release day of then.

Amazon would literally put surge pricing on guillotines.

Cubs lose in a terrible game all around. Should be ashamed for how they played tonight. No heart and no hustle.

And cubs definitely gonna lose now. Bah. Waste of a good season.

Bah. Cubs can’t buy a hit when it matters. Looking bad.

If this reminds you of an extremely famous book you might have read in high school… yes.

This is like Looney Tunes levels of criminal corruption

everyone would agree that if you believe in what is right, it doesn't matter if it's controversial. i would go a step further and say: you should not even concede to the *idea* that what you believe is controversial. trans rights is only controversial if you act like it's controversial.

Damn what a good MHA episode today.

Boy I hate laugh tracks. Its like you have zero confidence in your ability to actually be funny you have to telegraph for people to force laugh at your so called jokes to pretend to be funny. It makes no sense to use them in tv honestly.

Insert Cell "you'd thought you'd never see me again" meme here.

Metaphor ReFantazio released one year ago! One of the best RPGs ever developed by Atlus.

Did you know that my artist @kevinfagaragan.bsky.social actually takes commissions??? He could use some assistance with impromptu bills, and maybe I'm biased, but I think his art's super good and expressive. Check his stuff out! ko-fi.com/kevinfagaragan

Had the most surprising gift in the post today. I’m touched and honoured. Thanks so much for having me all those years ago, @oddworldinc.bsky.social - if you ever want me again for anything, I’ve got your back ❤️

People who think the idea of "give me ideas" is something genuinely creative people want have literally never experienced the absolute EUPHORIA of a brainstorming breakthrough, either solo or with a human collaborator. They don't understand what is happening when artists create, on a basic level.

Omega is a rough Dungeon Master.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

Oh, the Minecraft event in Crossworlds kind of is annoying. The Minecraft stage is a permanent choice and everyone keeps choosing it so we get it over and over. Yeesh.

Well at least the cubs made it a series and didn’t blow it tonight. Game Saturday!

Honestly, the headline "Neo-Hitler Demands Peace Prize Or Else" actually feels too realistic right now.

New meme format

That was certainly a way to end the game Phillies. Oof.

Playing the OG Silent Hill 2 for the first time! www.twitch.tv/fonzman

Everyone who studies research methods just had an aneurysm

put this in Crossworlds

Oh, seems Oshi No Ko's anime is moving to Crunchyroll. Yeah, Hidive is sadly dead at this juncture. Shame because we really need the competition. Also too bad Oshi's ending is so appallingly bad that I can't be bothered to care about future anime stuff.

Finished the Perzel farm quest and got a bunch more sidequests to do. This demo is pretty meaty, which I appreciate.

Oh....Trails in the sky has monsters in a box that are just way too high level for you to defeat at that point in the game. Bad design. I've died multiple times and had to 'retry with lowered enemy strength." Just too many numbers in there. Really should've made that easier....

If I didn't already have them on my Switch I might get these, but I can't justify double dipping even if IX is one of my favorite RPG's of all time....

Hey everybody! It’s LEIF ERIKSON DAY! Hinga dinga durgen!

Reminder this is all happening because Republicans refuse to let you have affordable health care.

Cubs actually got a win against the Brewers, how about that? At least they didn't get swept.
