So, the US government's editorial comms strategy is using things we care about, like Pokémon and popstars, to ragebait us into spreading mass deportation propaganda.

My 5-year-old named it Razor Mouth.

Yes, I saw the news. I chose to ignore them. I played GBA games instead and recommend you do so, too.

Im so annoyed that even Gamestop has been driven to raising the prices of their Pokemon TCG cards. I remember when a booster bundle was only $24.99🥲🥲

I'm running a half marathon today, and it's entirely possible that I will finish with a time that's double my PR.
So take this as your reminder that everyone's invited!

I beat Metroid Dread tonight and unlocked Hard Mode.
I think I'm more likely to replay Fusion than replay Dread, but maybe one day.

Wish me luck.
This isn't a video about windows. It's about gentrification, the housing crisis, anti-homeless benches, toxic yuri, Canatics, using type immunities as a narrative device, the best story we ever got and a Pokémon game made with care for fans.
