The President of the United States appears to have begun a journey toward deciding that federal thugs murdering innocent people does not make the great TV he assumed it would. I wish we did not live in a world in which this counts as encouraging news, but it does.

Former MLB OF Kole Calhoun speaks out. “What this administration is doing is blatantly racist…I’ve been silent because that is easy. I don’t care what side you’re on or who you voted for, this is wrong… Wake up! Speak out!”

It became cool to hate on this game for a while (as it generally does for all things that get popular). But by this point it’s clear: Animal Crossing New Horizons is nothing short of a phenomenon.
Here's a fun fact, courtesy of Circana's Retail Tracking Service.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons was the #1 selling physical video game for the week ending Jan 17th in both units and dollars in the US. The 3.0 content update released during the week.
That's up from #27 in dollars the prior week.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."
Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us
Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.

the failure of Dem opposition still comes from the party being without shared beliefs such that the only message they can agree on is affordability.
the party as a whole won’t condemn cops. they won’t call for a wealth tax. they won’t call for expansive labor rights. they’re lost but hate the left.

Jungle Beat is a great example of a “You Had to be there” game. It’s a fine platformer on its own; but the bongos give the game such a great visceral vibe. Truly elevates the experience.

I will be sworn in on a stack of Nintendo Power magazines.
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

That 4th and 1 call is a showcase for why people hate Kalen Deboer at Alabama.
All that stupid motion and trickery when you need to gain one yard, which they failed to do.

Read to story the kids who desegregated department store lunch counters in Nashville Tennessee and see if you’re still scared into submission.
History is full of people who dug their heels in and fought. Fear is natural; inaction is a choice.

Honestly? Living in Alabama.
When you live between Selma and Birmingham and Tuscaloosa, it is fairly impossible to fall into the "this is the worst it has ever been and it can't get better" pit.
It was way worse for people here, in living memory, and they didn't shrug & give up. So I can't either.

The regime is weak. That doesn't mean it's not dangerous. But it means it's beatable, and we're beating it.
Trump 0-3 on indicting Tish James and just had his ass handed to him by Indiana Republican legislators he threatened and bullied. Also new low in AP poll at 36% approval.

On the hardware side, PS5 saw the most extensive discounting. So, it got a big sales lift.
Wouldn't take much more away from the week than that, tbh.

Spotify Wrapped is usually a fun way to reflect on what you’ve listened to over the year and share your tastes with friends.
But it hits different when it’s paired with propaganda for Trump’s deportation machine.
