The Trump family has pocketed more than $4,000,000,000 from their crypto schemes—using the office of the President to line their own pockets.

That’s why I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act—we need to stop this grift in its tracks.

"... where, anytime, and interact with crafts and characters all over each of fifty planets, for as long as I wanted After rescuing my allotment of pods I can survey the world, taking out remaining enemies, playing with different viewpoints and examining structures. Each level is a different type of rescue mission requiring a completely new strategy than the last. Some moons are totally hostile while others require intense exploration and passive gameplay. I played for 3 hours to complete the first eight moons, then suprisingly met a boss on the ninth. At that point (I'm used to 16 bit games) I figured it was over. But I was wrong. Eight more appeared that required massive study to conquer. Then, after another twelve hours of engulfing gameplay, I reached the end once again, fought two huge gunships and figured, for sure, that was it. Again, I was wrong. Eight more planets appeared that I am still, two days later, studying."

It occurs to me that many people don't know about the GameFan coffee incident.

In 1993, GameFan published a manic 6-page review of the game Cybermorph that was written while tripping on LSD that somebody put in the office coffee pot

The review declared that Cybermorph was the first "real" game

Republicans want fewer people voting – especially Black and Brown voters. Trump and MAGA can’t win in 2026 on policies, so they’ll have to interfere with elections. We must protect the right to vote.

Yeah, man, definitely keep attacking Bad Bunny, that'll shore up the GOP's cratering numbers with young Hispanic voters.

And that is why it is so difficult for me—despite the fact there were many things I needed to deconstruct from—to reconcile my upbringing with my parents’ embrace of MAGA evangelicalism, culture wars, and Christian nationalism. Nothing grieves my heart and tests the limits of my faith more. (10/10)

I was taught not to judge others. I was taught love, grace, forgiveness, mercy, compassion, and empathy. I was taught that you need to know not only what you believe, but why you believe it, so you don’t fall for false idols and bad theology. So… I did that! (9/10)

Don’t get me wrong, I was taught really excellent Christian ideas by my parents, whom I love dearly to this day. I was taught about the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount. I was taught about the golden rule and the greatest commandments. (8/10)

I reconstructed to a solid point of thinking, “I am not what most Christians in the US think of as a ‘Christian,’ but that’s a good thing.” I still consider myself a follower of Christ and his teachings to the best of my ability. (7/10)

I deconstructed from conscious eternal torment and penal substitutionary atonement theologies and reconstructed to universal reconciliation on my good days or total apathy on my worst days. (6/10)

I deconstructed from theologies that oppress and reconstructed to theologies that bring Good News to the oppressed. (5/10)

I deconstructed from vapid “praise and worship” lyrics and reconstructed to music that is rich with theological meaning.

I deconstructed from theologies of personal salvation and reconstructed to theologies of liberation and communal salvation. (4/10)

I deconstructed from evangelicalism and the Charismatic movement and reconstructed to more mainline schools of religious thought.

I deconstructed from biblical literalism and reconstructed to a place where I actually take scripture seriously and contextually. (3/10)

In college, I deconstructed and reconstructed before people really talked about “deconstruction” as such. I deconstructed from evangelicalism before the term “exvangelical” was even coined—and I still don’t really identify with that movement. (2/10)

I have been immersed in US American Christian culture all of my life. I “got saved” at the church camp where my father served as Camp Evangelist throughout my entire tenure as volunteer, camper, counselor, and volunteer again. (1/10)

An off-duty ICE agent was just confronted in Minneapolis after people noticed a Nazi SS lightning bolt tattoo on his neck.

If you’re proud enough to ink it on your neck, why are you running when people notice?

The nations of the world should boycott the World Cup games scheduled in the US for 2026 and only play games in Canada and Mexico in protest of Trump's invasion of Venezuela and threats to attack and annex Greenland and Colombia. This will deprive Trump of the world stage he wants.

I played and loved this game. 😭 Is there no way to emulate it somehow?

Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally.

Just like it’s still the department of defense

🚨🚨 Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) says that a future DOJ could criminally prosecute Attorney General Pam Bondi and others in the administration for breaking the law in regards to the Epstein Files Transparency Act

I missed out on so much by not having any kids of my own… but hey, these stepdaughters of mine are making up for it:

*knockknockknock*

Me: “Not right now. I’m going to the bathroom.”

6-year-old: “Are you almost done?”

Me: “Yes.”

6-year-old: “Are you poopin’?”

Me: *sigh* “Yes. Go on, now.”

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

Giggity!

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

MY 4-YEAR OLD: *calmly, while coloring a picture of the Grinch* If baby grinches die, we can eat them. If they’re clean. That’s ok

We now have a bipartisan majority of members of Congress demanding a vote to extend ACA tax credits and keep health care affordable for all Americans.

Speaker Johnson, bring this legislation to the House Floor immediately or step out of the way.

Happy birthday (and welcome to the 38 Club) to a game that blew my young mind.

The dorks who insist AI is inevitable, especially in the games industry, deeply underestimate how much I’ll just shrug and play retro games for the rest of my life.

Like the PS1 & PS2 libraries alone are enough for multiple lifetimes.

Fuck you, make me.

Exhausted today. Spent my lunch hour going home and taking a nap.

you will not believe who just appeared in the Epstein files

Happy Anniversary to Final Fantasy X! 🎂🥳🎉

Today in North America, it launched on the PlayStation 2 and changed RPGs forever. Spira. Blitzball. The Zanarkand intro. Tidus laughing through the pain. Yuna's quiet strength. A story that still hits hard.
