It’s @mattaukamp.bsky.social and I, your official pod gobs.
you have to get him out of office and you have to do it today
even if it gets blocked you force an impeachment vote right now
how else can you live with yourself if he follows through with this and you didn’t do everything you could to stop it
The President just threatened genocide.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law.
Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.
wait wut
I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".
Thinking about this post for some reason.
Hey folks, how about a short thread of upcoming games I'm looking forward to?
1. Mina the Hollower
The new game from Shovel Knight developers Yacht Club, I've been eagerly anticipating this one, it looks so good! Love that there's a few games lately that have that Gameboy colour vibe going on.
one of the finest posts of all time
A screenshot of two comics panels depicting two men walking in the park at night. The text reads: [As the young werewolf begins a transformation unlike any she's undergone before... the only male members of the New Mutants -- Roberto DaCosta and Sam Guthrie -- approach the mansion.] Roberto: "A great game, was it not, Sam? Twenty-Seven innings, nearly a record!" Sam: "Would'a been nicer... if they'd been in contention." Roberto: "You could always root for the Mets." Sam: "Ain't the same, Bobby. Joe DiMaggio was like my Gran'pa's hero an' Mickey Mantle, my Dad's. Ah feel obliged t' carry on the tradition."
Comics panels depicting an entirely black silhouetted man picking up a tree trunk and a boulder, tossing the boulder up in the air and whacking it with the tree trunk with super strength. The text reads: Roberto: "Do you think they'd hire me? I could be their long-ball slugger supreme!" [A thought shifts Roberto to his super-strong identity as Sunspot, and...] Roberto: Babe Ruth -- eat your heart out! [KCHOW]
Happy Opening Day! Here are some panels from New Mutants #21, which I just covered as a guest on the Mutant Menace pod with @fatreber.bsky.social & @mattaukamp.bsky.social.
We also talked X-Men Evolution, cultural fetishization, baseball, gay stuff & more. Check it out! zencastr.com/z/cuWWiSTU
A sticker from ohmygollyembroidery on Etsy that says Trans Lives Are More Important Than Harry Potter.
A photo of Steve Purcell's wedding cake, featuring Sam and Max, the cartoon murderous furry detectives, standing in as the bride and groom
Learning that Steve Purcell himself gave the big ole ok to shippers and confirmed Sam and Max are a canonically gay married couple feels like I learned a universal cartoon truth of the world
I’m at ICE HQ
If ICE in the airports does materialize this should be yet another sign to journalists to stop using terms like "immigration enforcement" or "immigration crackdown" with regard to ICE. They are merely Trump's paramilitary force to be used as he pleases.

oh good i was worried it was white supremacy and capitalism
There’s also a new podcast episode up of Save Your Game! @mattaukamp.bsky.social and I talk about the NEW Paranormasight by Square Enix and I talk about my new favorite thing. zencastr.com/z/6ZOCljEy
I think youll enjoy it. The story and characters are hella engaging from the top, the acting it top-tier, and the combat - while turn based - is 2 parts precision parry to 1 part build-crafting thats complex enough to feel like solving a puzzle.
Pro Trump, Pro Netanyahu fanatics Larry and David Ellison will most likely now control Paramount, CBS, CNN, HBO, Warner Bros, and TikTok

The people on twitter have been hearing me scream about this for years but never forget that Max Landis is QUITE LITERALLY A SERIAL RAPIST. HE HAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED AN ALARMING NUMBER OF WOMEN, WAY more than ever contributed to the number of articles exposing him for it
I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
Where do we donate to the brown hoodie kid?
end qualified immunity and make cops carry personal liability insurance
incredible how white men are given the benefit of the doubt when anything coming from marginalized groups are treated with utmost suspicion and distorted beyond recognition
Okay, I'm not very far in, but I've got a suspicion... Is the first episode of Pluribus the only good episode of Pluribus?
This isn’t a setback. This is deliberately thwarting the research and development of safe and effective medicine.
