😐 yeah it's going to be a long four years

Cecile Richards dedicated her life to protecting and expanding women’s rights. She never wavered in her commitment to ensuring that women had access to the reproductive health care they needed, and her leadership at Planned Parenthood led to the inclusion of important healthcare provisions in the Affordable Care Act. Women of all ages knew they could count on Cecile, and Michelle and I will always be grateful for her advocacy. We send all our love to Kirk, Lily, Hannah, Daniel, and all those who loved and admired her.

It has been the honor of our lifetimes to serve you, the American people.

One more selfie for the road. We love you, America.

Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.

Our nation relies on dedicated, selfless public servants every day. They are the lifeblood of our democracy. Yet alarmingly, public servants have been subjected to ongoing threats and intimidation for faithfully discharging their duties. In certain cases, some have even been threatened with criminal prosecutions, including General Mark A. Milley, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, and the members and staff of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. These public servants have served our nation with honor and distinction and do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions. General Milley served our nation for more than 40 years, serving in multiple command and leadership posts and deploying to some of the most dangerous parts of the world to protect and defend democracy. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he guided our Armed Forces through complex global security threats and strengthened our existing alliances while forging new ones. For more than half a century, Dr. Fauci served our country. He saved countless lives by managing the government’s response to pressing health crises, including HIV/AIDS, as well as the Ebola and Zika viruses. During his tenure as my Chief Medical Advisor, he helped the country tackle a once-in-a-century pandemic. The United States is safer and healthier because of him. On January 6, 2021, American democracy was tested when a mob of insurrectionists attacked the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a fair and free election by force and violence. In light of the significance of that day, Congress established the bipartisan Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol to investigate and report upon the facts, circumstances, and causes of the insurrection. The Select Committee fulfilled this mission with integrity and a commitment to discovering the truth. Rather than accept accountability, those who perpetrated the January 6th attack have taken every opportunity to undermine and intimidate those who participated in the Select Committee in an attempt to rewrite history, erase the stain of January 6th for partisan gain, and seek revenge, including by threatening criminal prosecutions. I believe in the rule of law, and I am optimistic that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics. But these are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing. Baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families. Even when individuals have done nothing wrong—and in fact have done the right thing—and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage reputations and finances. That is why I am exercising my authority under the Constitution to pardon General Mark A. Milley, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the Members of Congress and staff who served on the Select Committee, and the U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee. The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense. Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.

He's not even sworn in yet and already I feel sick after hearing about all of these planned EOs.

Today, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on the fact that the journey of our democracy is difficult and ongoing – and the distance is short between peril and possibility. But we must keep it going. Our march toward a more perfect union continues.

The patch for Switch was released last night. It fixes the raccoon shop bug, divorce crash, rain randomization, and a few other things. Because of the randomization fix, there may be some one-time-only "retroactive" changes to things like raccoon requests or item appearance.

@Swag_K1RBY @amandavanhiel Switch tu, Brute?

So how are we gonna add more to this

The joycons... are drifting...?

How 'bout a Link Between Worlds sequel or a new Kirby/Yoshi craft-inspired game where the Joy-Cons are used like chalk and erasers to alter a level and progress? It would probably make creating levels in a Super Mario Maker game easier, too.

It'd be neat to use the #Switch2 Joy-Cons like one would use a knife to chop veggies in a cooking sim game; or for landscaping in a chill garden simulator; or to wipe a board of a drawing or word in a party game. Or maybe to control a toy or leash in a new Nintendogs + Cats game!

They should have called it the Switch Mew.

Stay tuned for a closer look at #NintendoSwitch2 in #NintendoDirect: Nintendo Switch 2 – 4.2.2025, airing on April 2nd. The broadcast time will be shared at a later date. ► ninten.do/6015U8rzh

Here's an update from Nintendo. Please take a look: ntdo.com/6018f9yhk

It’s been the privilege of my life to serve our nation for over 50 years. I’ve given my heart and soul to you, and I’ve been blessed a million times in return with the love and support of the American people. Join me as I deliver my farewell address. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

I am happy for the ceasefire and all that will hopefully come after it. Let's hope we can avoid more conflict, and that the orange asshat keeps the shit-stirring to only his diapers.

@XglitchygamesX @PiggybackGuides @NintendoAmerica Yeah I know, it was more directed at NoA (although their twitter handler probably isn't allowed to respond).

@Draug419 @PiggybackGuides @NintendoAmerica Although Piggyback did do TotK's guidebook, if its Master Works anything like Creating a Champion (BotW's Master Works) then Dark Horse will handle publishing and not Piggyback.
