If you're a fan of long running franchises - Halo, Tomb Raider, Mario, Pokémon, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Harvest Moon, Sonic AND MORE - why not try out one of the originals and fundraise for charity??

Please signal boost, it's for a good cause! 🙏

Hey folks - I'm working with an MS (multiple sclerosis) charity to find streamers to support fundraising in November. It's retro gaming themed, so if you're interested in more info - or you know someone who would be amazing - please chuck me a reply 💚

I have a soft spot for it when I saw it with Peter Scolari. Even so, it's one of those things where I didn't hallucinate that it exists.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

I think Vance is a hateful little troll who wasn't shoved into lockers enough in his life. But at least I have vague confidence he wouldn't hit the button for the nukes because a hallucination told him to.

Oh thank fuck. One of my doctors said if he's not on any plan I can find for next year he'll just charge me a nominal fee per visit. That's going to be such a huge help if it comes to that.

Lemme tell you, since Jared Leto is in this thing I am LIVING for the shade of every reviewer who goes "The great thing about this movie is the soundtrack."

‘TRON: ARES’ isn’t without its flaws, but it pushes the franchise into an exciting new frontier with an industrial edge thanks to Nine Inch Nails’ propulsive score.

Saw a review that said something like "Cool visuals and the NIN soundtrack is amazing" and I had to tip my hat to that level of shade.

I grew up going to Zabar's. So many of my childhood memories center around the best lox in NYC (which is saying something). With Saul Zabar's passing today, the Upper West Side has lost a legend who turned his parent's humble store into a culinary institution.
