Haven't needed to clean up in years. Think I did alright. Got an event this weekend.

πŸ’ž Doki Dreamers Γ— HOLOSTARS English -TEMPUS- 🍫 Did you notice each of the boys has this cute cookie emblem on their outfits? With this enamel pin you can matchβ€” perfect for your bag, jacket, or con lanyard!

I don't know why this game got dinged when it launched, it's great. Doubly so on a big sale.

Me counting down the days until @offkaiexpo.com

Seems likely that two people with their lawful open-carry guns saw another person with their lawful open-carry gun and needlessly escalated to the thing for which people guns thereby killing a bystander, after which the police arrested the non-aggressor. Perhaps open-carry is not such a good thing.

After ruling the NIH grant terminations illegal, Judge Young ended the hearing with an eye-opening speech. β€œThis represents racial discrimination, and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That's what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. And I do so.”

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

πŸ’ž Doki Dreamers Γ— HOLOSTARS English -TEMPUS- 🍫 Collect and trade chekis of your oshis! These high quality cards are printed on a lovely shimmer paper, and will look adorable on your desk or in a card holder. Also looks great next to our full-size print!

Maybe I'm just getting done with Final Fantasy XIV. The formula is just too stuck in its ways.

In April, I made the rarest of pilgrimages: to Tokyo, and the top of a skyscraper, to meet Hideo Kojima. I went with one question: why still make games? At 61, he has made them for almost forty years. But he has seen his end. My latest for GQ: www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/hide...

So we may have been working on something. πŸ’žπŸ«πŸͺ✨

The stars are looking a little sweeter… πŸ’žπŸ«πŸͺ✨ Revealing June 10, 2025.

Pretty hype for what we're about to drop. 🍫πŸͺ✨

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

"it's not peaceful for people to be on the highway" -LA Mayor Karen Bass right now. This is what I mean when I say the word "peaceful" as applied to protesters is about prescribing placidity, not nonviolence. Calmly marching on a freeway is pretty inarguably nonviolent. " Peaceful" you can debate

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Blippo+ is a LIVE ACTION FMV CABLE TV SIMULATOR All painstakingly made with vintage analog broadcast equipment and an intergenerational cast of over 100 actors, comedians, performers, and artists BROADCASTING NOW WEEKLY on Playdate as part of Season 2 Coming IN COLOR to PC and Switch this fall πŸ‘

After the "oh boy a Persona 4 remake" shine wore off, the trailer doesn't sit great with me. The color grading is *completely* wrong. P4 had this really grounded look and the remake is oversaturated and cartoonish. So much of that original game was about the vibe of Inaba and that's lost.

Los Angeles: if you get tear gas or see other people who have been and someone calling themselves a medic tries to use milk to wash their eyes out SLAP THAT MILK JUG OUT THEIR FUCKING HAND. MILK DOES NOT WASH OUT TEAR GAS. Just use bottled water please.

Baby's first snickerdoodles

Setting up a Switch 2, needed something to scratch off a Mario Kart code, didn't have a coin or key handy. But sometimes your modular laptop comes in handy in ways you never expected. (I used the code already) @frame.work

What a day for Sabrina Carpenter to drop a song titled "Manchild"

I'm sure this crash out will end up being terrible for everyone but in the moment it is extremely funny

Concentration camp prisoners signaling for help. In the United States. In 2025.

OH MY FUCKING GOOOODDDDDDDDD MATSUNO YOU ARE THE ETERNAL GOAT

A remake of Final Fantasy Tactics is a delightful thing for them to announce on my birthday (pretend this is announced tomorrow instead of today)

Literally just wear an N95-class mask and you'll probably be fine. Since you probably won't, consider that this one is nicknamed "razor blade throat".

I've been playing too much Fantasy Life i and enjoying every moment of it. Level-5 managed to build on what I loved from the original and deliver a gigantic RPG here. My 10/10 review for @rpgsite.net: www.rpgsite.net/review/17595...
