I know I’ve said this before, but it feels like the midterms are a real tipping point for this country. Publicly broadcasting executions via firing squad is just next level dystopian.

I don’t think people should be mocked for their appearance… BUT There is absolutely no way that this woman isn’t an extraterrestrial wearing human skin who has been sent to infiltrate the White House. 👽

I tried logging in to Luna today to check out the new Star Wars racer and couldn’t get it to work. lol (The logging in, not the streaming part)

I get the thinking here. If there’s a console shortage due to GTA they can say “Hey, you don’t even need a console to play!” BUT I still don’t know if that’s going to get enough people onboard with streaming.

I don’t know how many of my BlueSky peeps cross over into the “foodie” space, but I’m very excited for tonight’s Bobby’s Triple Threat because one of my favorite chefs Yia Vang is on tonight.

I’m a much more casual Vikings fan these days, but I’ve never felt more underwhelmed by a 4-0 start before. 😂 If we are going have any playoff chance we better get this QB thing sorted. (he did look BETTER yesterday though)

I need someone to explain to me all of these stupid ads I’m seeing of bros opening card packs on an app called RIPBRO!! or RIPDUDE!! Like… you got a pretend card out of a pretend pack. How is that card worth $1,000? What am I missing? 😶

We need fewer colons in console gaming, generally. Fewer colons - but more colonoscopies! If the launch of Galactic Racer has you thinking fondly of Star Wars Episode 1: Racer, it's time for a colonoscopy!! www.cancer.org/cancer/diagn...

Decided to redisplay all of my physical games and I’m bummed out that I no longer have any of my cartridge games. Maybe one day I’ll make a huge mistake and try to rebuy them.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

People like him see this as an act of strength, when everyone else sees it for what it is. An act of weakness and cowardice. It’s the language of small, insignificant men. I only see a small child who didn’t get enough love so he lashes out at others to make himself feel big. Truly pathetic.

Anyone who has lived through anything knows that this is the language of a coward. There is no strength or leadership in such words. This man—and all of the men like him, those in power or those who crave it so they can use it in equally pathetic ways—could not be less impressive or intimidating.

You know it’s kind of a bummer. I would absolutely buy more of these, but the blind box thing makes it not worth the risk. I don’t wanna pay $15 and get a duplicate. Or even worse… Aloy! 😂
