This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

never thought i would be subscribing to a vg mag in my 40s - much less independently owned - but here we are!

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

❤️

Republicans are about to strip 13.7 million Americans of healthcare so does anyone know where I can find some nonstop coverage about the previous president being old??

Now he’s paying criminals in addition to pardoning them.

It’s still hard for me to believe that after so many years of deranged posts like this, we’ve still never had a serious national conversation about this man’s mental health.

Thou shalt focus on the current president's throbbing insanity and dementia. The previous president is no longer president and so it no longer matters.

i just spent almost an hour in a single fight with a boss in #expedition33. not multiple tries. not multiple fights. one fight. finally defeating it came with dark souls levels of serotonin.

man… imagine if the other star wars shows were allowed to cook for 12 44-minute episodes a season like #andor was. i still enjoyed the other shows, but andor is at such a different level it’s not even funny.

NEWS: U.S. and China agree to a 90-day pause on new tariffs after shipping to U.S. ports plummeted. Tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut from 145% to 30%. Tariffs on U.S. imports will be cut from 125% to 10%. If tariffs should result in massive job growth and make the U.S. rich, why lower them?

ART OF THE FOLD........

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

I don’t know man, what could it possibly be?

it turns out @expedition33.bsky.social is just as good as everyone is saying it is, as denoted by a post at 1:30 AM. the FRPG genre is off to a great start!

“The president will blaspheme god by using artificial intelligence to generate an image of himself as Pope,” is something a wild-eyed prophet shouted through a megaphone in Times Square in the 1990s, but nobody listened, nobody heard the warning

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

just saw thunderbolts and… i think marvel is back???

i almost have a 900 day streak with @duolingoverde.bsky.social , but i’ve now deleted the app and cancelled my yearly family plan membership thanks to their terrible focus on AI over people. such a shame, as i enjoyed the daily learning. guess i’ll have to find an app that isn’t run by a shithead

Oh.

i am so mad that #andor only has two seasons.

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

yo bungie’s #Marathon is fun as hell. i never thought i would actually want to keep playing an extraction game but here i am having to tear myself away for bed!

Feel sorry for kids being born today. The world is a cruel place and all the good usernames have been taken already.

man, playing #Oblivion after experiencing the groundbreaking melee combat in #Avowed is really tough. still fun tho!

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

i finally got to see @ronfunches.bsky.social at the improv in hollywood tonight, and he was SO GOOD!!!

it’s just a good as it looks

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Blue Prince is out. Play Blue Prince. Don't use a guide or I'll kill you. 40 hours in now. Hit an incredible chain reaction of revelations last night. Very much in danger of ruining my life to live in the pretend puzzle house forever.

#BluePrince is not a game for everyone, but hot damn is it a game for me. it’s basically the Betrayal at the House on the Hill board game meets Myst meets a “rogue-light”. very cool concept and i know im just scratching the surface after several hours.

i can not overstate how much @dropout.tv is worth the subscription price for Game Changer alone.
