The founders were confident that when America was faced with a power hungry wannabe king abusing the powers of the Presidency that Congress would quickly act to impeach him. They were so confident in this that they left few other guardrails. We're now paying the price for their shortsightedness.

Oh hey, I'm proud to contribute to worker-owned and independent new site Skybox! This is my essay about having a stroke, losing the ability to write or walk or play video games, and digging myself out of that depressive hole using video games. It's maybe the most vulnerable writing I've ever done.

The Trump administration announced it is ending Temporary Protective Status for people from Afghanistan who sought safety in the U.S. This cruel action puts thousands of people at risk of being deported to the very country where they fled persecution.

Giant Bomb lives! Fandom has sold the site to us and it is now fully independent and employee-owned. We'll see you all on Tuesday for the Giant Bombcast. For more info right now, head over to www.giantbomb.com/join

Maturing is admitting to yourself that Wendy's has actually been the best, most consistent national fast food chain cheeseburger all these years. The clown just confused you by giving you toys as a child.

If passed, the SAVE Act would make it significantly harder for millions of eligible citizens to vote. The House has already passed it — tell your Senator now to reject this bill and defend our democracy.

Okay. Took a week off from kicking this round because the health from hell caught up with me and, frankly, also it stresses me out. Turns out, a month and a half of this when you’re already broken is not good! Who knew? www.gofundme.com/f/rob-and-fa...

The Trump administration deported two families, including three U.S. citizen children, after cutting them off from their lawyers and disregarding one of the child's need for cancer medication. This is inhumane and illegal.

SO happy with Old Skies’s success so far, but early momentum is very important, so leave a review on Steam if you can. The higher that review count goes, the more people see the game. Sorry to e-beg but in the absence of a marketing budget this is all I got! store.steampowered.com/app/1346360/...

There are going to be a shitload of people with blood on their hands at the end of all of this, but few seem so eager to be directly responsible for ending human life than noted eugenicist and roadkill dining aficionado Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

President Trump doesn't have the authority to ship people to a foreign prison without notice or due process.

It doesn’t get talked about all that much anymore but I think it’s probably hard to overstate the impact Oblivion had on the early days of the Xbox 360. I’d guess that its success also really changed things for Bethesda as a company, too.

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.

Book bans deny us our right to learn about our identities and read about different perspectives.

Sending immigrants to Guantánamo and cutting them off from any contact with the outside world opens a new shameful chapter in the history of this infamous prison. We're demanding answers from the Trump administration.

You ever think to yourself that it might be cool to get a 1,000 piece puzzle of a covered bridge and assemble it on a lazy weekend afternoon? Oh yeah, me neither. Definitely.🫤

Wanna see what we've been up to? We've got three games we've been developing and I wanted to give our community an update :) youtu.be/ZxUeJNTALws

Canada and Mexico just handed Donnie an NES controller that isn't even hooked up and told him he was playing. And he completely bought it. Great example for other world leaders on how to deal with the Toddler-In-Chief.🤣

The Video Game History Foundation Library is now in early access. For free. For everyone. Wherever you are. Read more: gamehistory.org/vghf-library...

Conservatives just figuring out in 2025 that Ben & Jerry's was left leaning is WILD. This reminds me of when they finally figured out what machine Rage Against the Machine was raging against.🤣

Started playing Indiana Jones. Seems like a very good action/adventure game... thing. I hope it lasts about 6-8 hours.

OUR HADES BLU-RAY IS OUT NOW! Hades: Developing Hell - The Complete Series is now available thanks to our friends at @supergiantgames.bsky.social. It's our first ever physical edition so we're really excited to have it out there. GRAB ONE WHILE STOCKS LAST: supergiant.games/developinghell

The morning poop just isn't the same in this post-Tiktok world.

Went to see the touring version of Hamilton with my wife (it was her Christmas present) and it was very well done. In high school I was the lead lighting tech on all our productions. I think there's a version of me somewhere in the multiverse sitting behind a lighting board pushing faders around.

If you're of a certain age you may have fond memories of Newsies. My wife showed it to me on our podcast. Did it hold up? www.buzzsprout.com/1472239/epis...

It's a shame that Tetris Forever is missing so many of these other extremely important -tris games. I mean I assume Alexey made this one too

Another year of podcasting with my beautiful and powerful wife on You Show Me Yours! plnk.to/YSMY

2024: The US made widget costs $1.50. The Chinese made widget costs $1.00. 2025: The US made widget costs $1.50. The Chinese made widget, with a 60% tarrif, now costs $1.60. See how no matter how you do that math it's an increase in the price of widgets?🤔

Nice to see a lot of old friends making the journey over here from that other platform. Welcome friends.

Another year and another MAGFest hotel lottery L. I was like 2456 in line out of 10k and still got nothing. Still not 100% sure I'm going, need to see if any of the old crew is interested. Guess I've got a 2 week refund window so i better get on it.
