Midwestern MAWG, so of course it’s really important that I have a platform to spout-off my opinions on whatever.

Man… these people are going to be super-pissed when they learn about Historiography!

(Also, check out Frank’s NES video. It’s fascinating, even if you’re not into video games at all.)
That's how I feel too. In my case I'm fascinated by how people seem offended that history can continue to be reexamined, there are commenters who seem mad because they already saw someone else talk about this and they are NOT interested in letting anyone else have a say.

After the Trump Administration put it at risk, we fought hard to restore this critical funding for the AmeriCorps program, and we're glad to see these funds going out the door to support service projects in communities across our state.

Here’s a great retrospective on Deerhunter, one of my favorite bands, and honestly the last band I think I‘ve truly “gotten into” during their contemporary run:

Right now, thousands of smartass adult children are sitting around a kitchen table, drinking coffee, and bickering over which pregnancy their mother took the most Tylenol during. I think that’s beautiful.

Johnson is just straight-up doing ads for the Democratic Party.

I’ll throw it out there that an Analogue Pocket is one, cheaper, two, better, and three, doesn’t loudly signal that you support war crimes every time you take it out.
I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
This is unlike anything we've seen before in all our years of handheld reviewing!

🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world.

Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!

Ringo’s favorite band? DePEST Mode! I can’t believe it took me this long to think of that.
December 7, 2025 at 3:26 PM
I watched the Depeche Mode “101” documentary for the first time in… probably 20 years tonight.

There’s an old joke that the worst thing about your favorite band is their other fans, and boy does this flick exemplify that.

The first iPod I owned, the cheap shuffle one that was shaped like a stick of gum, had a habit of starting every playlist with this track. I will always associate beginning my morning jogs in college with it. Give it a listen.

There are only two industrial acts worth paying attention to anymore. Foetus is one of them, and a new track drops tonight: youtu.be/KB03vkWFq0M?...

It’s no longer online, but my all-time favorite Onion headline will always be ”All Else Fails,” which was probably around 2004/05.
What is the quintessential Onion headline? The strong contender that just randomly popped in my mind is "Hank Williams Jr. Honored by Institute For Football Preparedness"
