Metroid Prime 4: Beyond implies the existence of Metroid Prime 2: Bed and Metroid Prime 3: Bath.
Spending my flight home writing Democratic leadership begging them to back up the incredible people of my state. We urgently need strong opposition to this, but we’re currently doing it alone. Now is the moment, and any Democrat unable to rise to the occasion needs to move aside for someone who is.

It’s so difficult to accurately articulate the anger I feel towards these outside forces that have come into my community and what they’re doing to my incredible state and its amazing people, as well as the rage I feel towards Democratic leadership for providing those people next to no backup.

Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

The thing ICE and the Trump Administration failed to understand before they invaded us is that not only do we fiercely love our immigrant neighbors, but we also fiercely love the Twin Cities. We aren’t about to lay down and let a bunch of masked losers take that away. These are our fucking cities.

I got an Uber in LA at 1:30 am last night, and the driver immediately asked where I was from. When I said Minnesota, he started railing on the state, saying the ICE attacks are necessary. He chose the wrong person to pull that shit on, and I had a full 30-minute ride to demonstrate that to him.

I can safely say I never saw this coming, but evidently it’s going down now 🤷🏻♂️

A reminder that the Trump Administration has frozen citizenship oath ceremonies for three months now, originally using the government shutdown as an excuse, effectively eliminating the already scant pathways to citizenship. Those who passed their citizenship interview in October have been in limbo.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

Until just recently, every time I heard “Jacob Elordi,” I thought it was a high-end fashion designer.

I’ve lived in Maryland, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Texas, but Minnesota is probably my favorite place I’ve ever lived. Aside from the obvious political reasons, I’ll never understand the right’s insistence that it’s some horrible, unruly state. I’m proud to have called MN home for the last 11 years.

I think Miller's ethnic cleansing plan has a fatal flaw: he thought we would welcome ICE as heroes, and we (citizens) wouldn't be willing to risk it all for our immigrant neighbors. Bc he's a sociopathic weasel who can't wrap his brain around how decent people think and move. And we're moving.
Stephen Miller and Tr*mp's plan to do a fascism in the US has a fatal flaw.

Oof. Not unexpected, but still a gut-punch. I've been saying I'm worried about Ubisoft for a couple of years now, and this feels like dam finally breaking. I don't know that these moves will turn the company around, but this is huge news from what was once one of the powerhouse publishers.
BREAKING: Ubisoft is canceling the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake and 5 other games (4 unannounced, 1 mobile). The company says it is also delaying 7 games (including an unannounced project believed to be a Black Flag remake) as part of a larger restructuring.

Being an American in 2026 is nearly synonymous with a persistent feeling of helplessness and embarrassment. That’s why I want to do something. As announced on last week’s episode of All Things Nintendo, I’ll be donating 100% of my Patreon earnings for January to the ACLU.

I just realized I don't even know what a notification from a website looks like because I've never said "Allow" to a website when it asks if it can send me notifications. What if they're really beautiful? 🥺
