And considering the not unlikely chance Donald ends up kicking the bucket in the near future. There are other things and Trump cronies Dems are better off focusing their energy on
If we impeach Donald Trump in 2027 he is not going to get removed because you will not get a dozen Republican senators to agree to do so, you just won't. And when that fails to happen people will not credit us for trying, they will scream at us for doing nothing but a strongly worded letter. Period.
Cant't help but find it funny how people are screaming that we are now in the age of 1984 even as many MSM news networks are seeing their ratings crash and burn likely as a consequence of trying to kiss Trump's ass for the past 10 years.
Scoop: Fox News will finish October with its worst ratings in years, an ominous sign for Republicans ahead of the midterms. Compared to last October, Fox News is DOWN 27% in total viewers and 32% in the 25-54 demo. MS NOW and CNN are up. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/fox-news-r...
A lot of Donald Trump's secret sauce imo wasn't so much his racism but rather his decades of marinating in the American pop culture sphere. A lot of people literally thought they would learn the secret to getting rich easy if they hitched their wagons to him only to find out they got played.
Honestly based on how they reacted to Trump's 2024 win, the reason why they don't want to eject Trump is because they're DESPERATE to believe his popularity is because of his bigotry and not inspite of it. They want to believe everyone is as bigoted as they are

The Super Nintendo: Music Sounds Like It’s Being Run Through A Milk Carton
The closest competitor to Peter Lore for most parodied/referenced actor in animation would probably be Jimmy Durante and this video is just barely scratching the surface. www.youtube.com/watch?v=drwh...
We have been inundated with imitations of Peter Lorre's dulcet voice from a young age through Boo Berry, Looney and Tiny Tunes, Aladdin, etc.
Feels like the perfect time to share @jparish.bsky.social's excellent retrospective on the Neo Geo Pocket www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIHG...
10月28日はネオジオポケットの発売日でしたか。28年前 僕はカラーは買ったけど白黒は買わなかったんです。確か割と早い段階でカラー版が発表されたから白黒のは別にいっかなーみたいになっちゃったんですよね。でもスティックの操作感が格ゲーにピッタリで未だ携帯機の中でも最高なのでは!?
Harris does make a point that even if Dems sweep both chambers, impeachment is a pretty steep hill to climb unless you manage to convince enough Republicans to defect but of course, I expect that important detail will be completely lost on the terminally online leftists
Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea. I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there. I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…
Consumers having the right to know if the game they are buying might end up being a piece of vibe code slop is apparently a hard concept to grasp for Tim Sweeny

Replying to @adamjschwarz.bsky.social
Netanyahu's Likud being the largest party is irrelevant. It's all about blocs. Based on exit polls, Netanyahu will not be able to form a coalition. Parties in Eisenkot's block are very unlikely to prop up a Netanyahu govt. Eisenkot bloc govt propped up by Arab parties is most possible outcome.
My own read from what I am seeing is that even if Netanyahu isn't completely dead from this, he is still essentially heavily kneecapped now especially with the gains from the Arab parties
What you need to know about Israeli election 👇 - Majority of Israelis voted for non-Netanyahu govt parties - Not knockout blow to Netanyahu but very hard to remain PM - Massive drop in Netanyahu block. Fall of 68 to 50-55 - Record Arab turnout Likely outcome Eisenkot govt backed by Arab parties
A game so bad it actually broke SomeCallMeJohnny
'Mortal Kombat: Special Forces' released on this day in 2000. With John Tobias and several other key players leaving Midway during production of this Mortal Kombat spin-off; the remaining team was left to rush this ill-fated 3D beat 'em up to completion.
"All told, both games would've likely flown under the radar as "passable" genre titles, if not for their odd connection to the Zelda franchise." Until the early 2000s and the dawn of YouTube where they would develop their reputation alongside Hotel Mario for being Grade A YouTube Poop cannon fodder
For gameplay pain points: Poor collision detection, unclear background elements, and clumsy control mapping are the major culprits. All told, both games would've likely flown under the radar as "passable" genre titles, if not for their odd connection to the Zelda franchise.

Who else immediately heard Caddicarus in their head when they saw Cheesy on PS1 being mentioned?
'Cheesy' released on this day in 1996. An oddball 2.5D platformer for the PS1 (originally intended for the Atari Jaguar), starring a stressed-out mouse with a gun for an arm. Released to negative reviews, mostly honing in on its poor controls and pesky perspective issues.
Hes seeing the numbers coming in and likely realizes he's basically fucked
Netanyahu is sounding utterly desperate today. He's posting non-stop about high Arab voting turnout to create hysteria and fear. He also released a video statement claiming "They are trying to steal the election from us!" Arab Israelis make up 21% of the Israeli electorate.
My Indie World predictions A bunch of cozy games Pikuniku 2 BallxPit update MOUSE PI For Hire DLC news Vampire Crawlers Maybe a Switch 2 update for Monster Train 2 At least one major indie title getting a Switch/Switch 2 port
Nintendo - Indie World Showcase announced for tomorrow, Oct 28 at 7 AM PT. Approximately 15 minutes long
Reminder that you can't really hack a voting machine since they are not connected to the internet contrary to popular belief. What is likely happening is that low quality or poorly calibrated touch screens are misregistering people's selections which is why many places don't use this type of machine
❌ NO: This video does not show an electronic voting machine intentionally switching a person’s ballot choice as part of a voter fraud scheme to rig the #midterm elections. ✔️ Misleading claims about voting machines changing votes have circulated since at least 2008. 🔗 go.newslit.org/ElectionFals...
Guy is basically just screwing himself even more considering Donald made it pretty clear he aint saving his ass this time
Lot of folks (self included) expressing despair that despite aggressive prosecuting fascists ("doing everything right") Brazil was still going to get Bolsonaro-ed and the fact this guy gtfo-ed as quickly as he did should be a big signal for the AOC DOJ to go *hard* in 2029.

Yeah not surprised to hear that people are bricking their Switch 2 systems from this especially considering it was brute force via vibe code. Seriously people, jailbreaking your Switch 2 right now just isn't worth it unless you don't mind potentially getting stuck with a 500+ dollar paperweight.
It's also worth noting that the current method to rip the data is incredibly risky and has shown to brick some consoles already, since it's the hack equivalent of sledgehammering a window to barge into a house. It being developed by AI sucks, but it goes beyond the usual ethics about AI usage.
For the best really especially knowing Nintendo is likely gonna be dropping the nuke hammer big time on the people responsible for the Switch 2 jailbreak exploit.
Just a heads up; lots of discussion online regarding Switch 2 reverse engineering. Data is cropping up, and models are being converted - however, we won't be accepting contributions for Switch 2 titles at this time. This may be disappointing to some, but it's self preservation.
What makes the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown sketch on Robot Chicken funny is how it manages to stay true to the Peanuts universe while recontextualizing the characters into a horror setting in a way that makes sense www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuaZ...

Someone made a Blender plugin that makes Blender look/behave exactly like Maya, and holy cow it really does look/behave exactly like Maya. This is awesome for people like me who have like 15+ years of Maya baked into muscle memory. 5hyuns.github.io/maya-workflo...
Flavio is learning the hard way that Donald does not care for anyone other than himself and will happily throw you to the wolves the moment you have worn out your usefulness to him
BREAKING WaPo: Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.

Not only is Video Game Esoterica (@videogameesoterica.bsky.social) so asleep at the wheel that he's peddling ports with malware in them now, but when called out on that he decides to try and play Internet Tough Guy... then backpedals into "haha you mad 😂" shit. Truly a blight on retro gaming.
The Super Mario Galaxy PC port (Nebula, not AstroCore) has gotten a bunch of updates and is now ready to talk about! Because why not more Mario youtu.be/WG1TfYQu7vs #gaming #gamingnews #retrogames

Really need to get around to finishing season 13 of MST3K
Watched the new MST3K. It's good! Right around Deadly Bees or Gorgo in quality. Not in my top 10, but extremely solid! My biggest worry going in was that it would just be a Rifftrax except with Shadowrama, but it's not that at all. It really feels like Sci-Fi era MST3K, and that's what's important.

Trumps reelection in 2024 didn't stop the collapse of the global far right movement but perhaps ended up accelerating it
I felt strongly already in 2024, in a way that I could not fully rationally articulate even to myself, that the global far-right tide which had begun in 2015-2016 was far closer to its end than its beginning. In 2026, I believe we have definitive proof of its ebb. Slow, uneven, but clear.
