This is the game that made me wanna make games when I grew up.
Happy 33rd birthday to (the North American release of) The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past!
One of the best Super NES games, it's also my favourite Zelda game, and the "Light World" side of Hyrule is the first map I ever made for VGMaps.com, over 23 years ago.

Just a reminder: Congress could reverse these insane tariffs TODAY.
Republicans are just choosing not to.
Every Republican in Congress who refuses to do something is endorsing Trump's tax hike on YOU.

Since we’re getting GameCube games for Switch Online, I would like to kindly request Eternal Darkness so I can traumatize myself again.

Hey Seattle area folks, there was another Measles case identified in King County. For elder millennials like myself, you probably only got one MMR vaccination as a kid (when you needed 2). Consider getting a booster. Did mine on Monday, side effects were I’m a sleepy baby.

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion
Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion
Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on.
It's reverse Robin Hood.

Thousands of investors in Trump’s crypto scheme lost $2 billion in just weeks while the Trump Organization racked up $100 million in trading fees.
Just so happens that the CFPB, which Trump is trying to kill, recently announced new regulations for the crypto industry.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

Trump and Elon are trying to dismantle USAID, an international relief and development agency that has saved millions of lives and helps cement America’s place as a world leader.
USAID’s work is so important — let’s talk about what this agency actually does. 🧵
