I have always hated how the Baby Yoshi voice from Yoshi’s Story moved in and became Yoshi. It felt like it closed down a more interesting vocal experiment (from SMW2: Yoshi’s Island). I wish they would retire the baby voice and start over, tbh

The man who watches Trump all day, every day Aaron Rupar spends up to 80 hours a week following the US president, from meandering speeches to impromptu press conferences. He says it’s ‘pretty bleak’

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

Amazon reportedly failed to create any new jobs at its HQ2 in Virginia last year, despite millions of state tax incentives.

The company has cut 30,000 jobs since last October — while saving $4 billion in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

Trickle-down economics is a hoax.

Listen, academia and the games industry are completely on fire. Life is too short to write the safe, boring, iterative twenty page journal article. Write something stupid and exciting in a zine or a four pager and come hang out with us to chat about games.

Screenshot of an X post by Omar Jimenez (@OmarJim…, 7h) stating that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison says he doesn’t have the names of the agents who shot Alex Pretti, adding: “I’ve been a lawyer for 36 years. I’ve never seen anything like this before.” Below is a CNN video thumbnail showing a split screen: on the left, an older man in a black cap and glasses labeled “Brown | Business Owner,” and on the right, Keith Ellison in a suit. A CNN “LIVE” bug appears in the corner.

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

I’m thankful for Trump

Without him I have never paid more attention to politics as I have in the last 10 years

I’ve never appreciated the rights I have as a US citizen

I’ve never thought our government would turn against it’s citizens

I was naive as to how stupid 30% of the population is

This is not about immigration enforcement. It’s about suppression of freedom and ethnic cleansing.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Trump has transformed the justice system into a Putin-style autocratic protection racket. The wealthy are not audited or investigated, if convicted they are pardoned. Political opponents are targeted. Unidentified masked agents grab people off the street, and protesters are shot.
