Probably the most Weekend at Bernies ass administration you ever seen.

Trump is very obviously living in a world that has almost nothing to do with reality that is actively curated by his viziers.

Eric Swallwell (D-CA) says it’s coming to an end and House Republicans are privately breaking, that a “jailbreak” is brewing the moment the Epstein files hit the floor, and that Trump’s aura of fear is finally cracking.

In case you missed it Microsoft was just forced to cancel plans for a data center because of public pushback

The Switch 2 Pro Controller was the best selling video game accessory in the US for August.

With Switch, I almost exclusively used the Pro Controller.

With Switch 2, it's the same thing. It's a fantastic controller and maybe my favorite ever from Nintendo.

Before anyone asks about Mario Kart World, it literally says so at the top note that sales from bundles are not counted. Impressed that Madden and Howard's Legacy are so high up despite being game key cards

These people really don't have the chops to create a 1000 year Trump Reich. They are basically doing and saying whatever shit they think will make them look cool on TV

i do think it’s telling that this large chunks of this admin exist solely to create content for a social media app that doesn’t even clock into the top five most used

ae @aelkus.bsky.social · 9h

If you look at the sheer insanity of what government officials and agencies openly post on XShitter, it becomes abundantly obvious how much the press is complicit. If Dems did even a fraction of this poasting it would be saturated in news coverage.

My main thoughts on that Stephen Miller gaffe over Plenary Authority on CNN

CNN edited it out but its too late since the OG clip is all over the internet by now

Miller becoming the new front man for Emperor Donald is not going to end well for him likely.

Its actually kinda surprising when you think about it how nobody really has thought of bringing back kids programming blocks under the angle of being a vehicle for streaming platforms to promote their content and a cheaper alternative for non-subscribers

More Perfect Union @moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 6h

Microsoft has withdrawn its proposal for a data center in a Milwaukee suburbs after community pushback.

After opposition from area residents and elected officials the 244 acre Caledonia project will not proceed.

Microsoft drops Caledonia data center after facing opposition. Company looking for new site

Outcry from residents and elected officials caused Microsoft to drop the Caledonia plan. But the company is seeking an alternative site.

Also forcing everyone into urban areas and cities could easily backfire on the GOP considering how a lot of their voter suppression and gerrymandering tactics have revolved around propping up rural regions at the expense of urban sectors.

Considering how Trump's brain is clearly mush at this point, I am generally convinced that

A. He is too stuck in his delusions to realize what's going on

B. This administration stupidly thought killing USAID and global trade with China would somehow make the woke Thanos out of existence.

Schnorkles O'Bork @schnorkles.bsky.social · 7h

Relatedly, and importantly, this administration also appears laser focused on destroying rural areas. I can't think its anything but intentional at this point. (Even if Trump maybe wouldn't want to do it.)

What's likely breaking Miller's brain is the fact that they aren't getting the images of rioting in the streets they were likely hoping for.

Also, as Greg notes, the court of public opinion is clearly not on Miller's side here. His entire theory rests on the assumption that low info voters will just accept their friends and neighbors getting grabbed off the streets for no reason

Nintendeen: IS NINTENDO SWITCH 2 A FAILURE?

wolfgabe.bsky.social @wolfgabe.bsky.social · 7h

Exactly this. Remember, Trump is generally a coward who often folds at the first sign of serious pushback. It's smart of Pritzker to call his bluff here.

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 8h

Way to call Trump’s bluff, Gov. Pritzker.

The president threatening to have Chicago’s mayor and Illinois’ governor arrested is serious and bad, not least since it’s because they’re following the law instead of helping Trump break it.

But his capacity is limited. He’s hoping the bluster is enough.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 8h

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

I think it would be more accurate to call Digimon Fox Kids answer to Pokemon since from what I understand the move to get the Digimon Adventure dub was almost entirely out of panic over Kids WB! getting the exclusive airing rights to the Pokémon anime

The Late Jess Matthews 🏳️‍⚧️ @jessmatthewsproductions.com · Sep 2

Digimon was Fox Kids’ Spongebob - a flagship show that the network used to really anchor the network.

They didn’t really have a show like that before. Not even Power Rangers (though in fairness the lineup around PR was much, *much* stronger)

"Spooky" Marc Quill / WON/F4W / QB1 Publishing @marcquill.bsky.social · Sep 2

Digimon and some really good-to-great Power Rangers seasons really carried the block in the latter days.

wolfgabe.bsky.social @wolfgabe.bsky.social · 15h

I am not shy of admitting that the late 90s/early 2000s Fox Kids logo is usually the one I associate with the most with Fox Kids since that was the era I mainly grew up with my most remembered shows being PR Lightspeed Rescue/Time Force and Digimon.
