Voted! Stood in line in South Carolina (there was a line!!!) for about an hour. Worth it every time. Can’t wait to vote again in the Fall for @drannieandrews.com Dr Jermaine Johnson! One of the best ways to fight back against fascism is to vote! @scdemocrats.bsky.social @protruthsc.bsky.social

Bangarang! I set one up for my kids last year to be an educational box from the 90s, before AI ruined facts.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16? 2002 was an emo kid’s delight. But if I had to pick just one, it’s this one:

I love the Dragon sprites in the game, with Dracette being my favorite so far.

Dracette enemy from Great Greed. It is a Dragon with cool features like a large tail and horns.

I finally sat down and beat Titanfall 2’s campaign mode over the last few days. What a fun gameplay experience. Shades of Turok, Bioshock Infinite and time travel! Just a super short and super fun game. In this season of life, short bursts of games are about all I can afford. Check it out sometime!

An Xbox One physical copy of Titanfall 2 is displayed in front of several other random video games. The cover has a giant mech robot on it, and a futuristic soldier alongside it.

Earthion is a masterpiece. It’s everything I love in a shmup. Fast paced, fun patterns, good bosses and a flawless soundtrack. Play it!

If it isn’t coming from @50501movement.bsky.social or @indivisible.org don’t trust it. I’ve seen this bullshit floating around on TikTok the last day or so. It is riddled with spelling and formatting errors and it is not from an official source. Stay vigilant. #MediaLiteracy @50501-sc.bsky.social

It’s #RandomGameSaturday! Today I am playing one of my favorite modern hack n slashes, Dust: An Elysian Tail. Truly beautiful game with an awesome soundtrack and fluid and smooth controls. Reminds me a lot of Dragons Crown or some of the other 2010s Vanillaware games like Odin Sphere. Check it out!

A copy of Dust: An Elysian Tail for Nintendo Switch. The cover features a colorful orange and white fox with green eyes in front of a beautiful backdrop of mountains and trees with blue sky and white clouds.

Might not be getting a Switch 2 for quite some time, but that won’t stop me from playing Kirby Air Ride on my Retroid Pocket 5!

I’m really enjoying the Shantae Advance game! Excellent job WayForward. LRG may have fumbled the bag when it comes to the whole recycled chip controversy for this game(the purple cart I have is really cool), but the game itself is really good. I’m playing it (the ROM) on my Anbernic GBA clone.

Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution! on GBA. A screenshot of Shantae, a half genie with purple hair and a bright red outfit on is shown. The caption in the game screen reads “Guardian Genie Shantae, at your service!”

Bulk Slash might be the best Sega Saturn game. The music, the game play, the characters and the sprite work is everything I love about Japanese video games in the 90s.

Feeling so empowered and proud and grateful and excited after attending my local #HandsOff protest. I made some new friends and reconnected with some old ones! @scdemocrats.bsky.social Let’s keep this momentum going!

#RandomGameSaturday — The amount of time I spent playing this game is lost to yesteryear. So many good memories of couch co-op with siblings, neighbors and family. Without TMNT 2/The Arcade Game, I don’t think I’d have ever really enjoyed beat em ups. I still play it a few times a year. Cowabunga!

I voted this morning in an at-large city council election in my town. Never ever take for granted to right to vote in all elections, because democracy is driven by participation. She must win. Especially considering the other guy’s badge of honor is interning for Lindsey fucking Graham. Hell no.

Organization is resistance. Clean space, clean mind. #Woodworking has become a sacred hobby. I’ve only been practicing Woodworking for one year. It’s the most rewarding hobby I’ve ever had.

A palm router is positioned on a sheet of half inch plywood in the bottom right corner. There are grooves and dados on the sheet of plywood, with a sanded pine color.

A set of plywood dividers and some shelves

Sheet good scraps that are displayed on a mobile lumber cart.

Built a record storage shelf yesterday. $30 in materials mixed with some leftover scraps. I got to use the router table, chisel set, circular saw, chop saw and jigsaw. Sanded it all down and I’ll paint it a matte black later on. #Woodworking #DIY

It’s about putting the pressure on those interns. With enough calls, the stress bubbles up to the elected officials. Don’t give up when so much is on the line, and control what you can control. 🙂 It takes all of us!

SINCE THE ELECTION, THERE'S BEEN A
3900% INCREASE IN CALLS TO CONGRESS
The Senate phone system alone is receiving 1,600 calls per minute - it usually gets around 40.

@GOODGOODGOODCO
So often, being an engaged citizen stops at voting - but it's important to hold elected officials accountable all year round, whether you voted for them or not.
Contacting your elected officials is one of the key tools citizens have for impacting change - and it's a tool that's often under-utilized.
Even if you think your elected representative won't change their mind, it's still important that they hear from you.
It's very good news that significantly more people are using the power they have as citizens to make their voice heard about issues they care about.

Make the calls today people. Lives are on the line. Use @5calls.org to help you make these calls to your Senators.
