The Biden/Harris team is going after those Gen Z votes with a visitable campaign headquarters, in the form of an Animal Crossing: New Horizons island (you might remember they also offer in-game digital yard signs). I'm not Gen Z but I play the game and was curious to what I was going to find on Biden's island. So, I played tourist by using its Dream Code DA-7286-5710-7478. Well, I'm glad I did. The attention to details is impressive. There are poll booths, a White House, merch, and, well, let me show you. Selfie opps were a-plenty:
Off I go…I ran into virtual Joe Biden soon after landing. Getting him in a shot was difficult, as he was being pretty elusive.I did manage to get a moment with the digital candidate and he exclaimed "No malarkey!" (I didn't get the reference.)Strolling around the island, I found a rose garden styled to look like the U.S. flag. Neat.I also found the "White House" with its own rose garden. ACNH players will note that it's cleverly constructed with panels and the Museum. And, you can't actually get over there. It's gated off.I then went to the building that houses Biden's HQ. As I mentioned, the attention to detail is impressive. I've built a lot of spaces in ACNH and I know this took some real effort to create.See how surprised I am?— Text "AC" to 30330 for a something fun —The upstairs room was divided in two: one side for Biden and the other for Kamala (note her sneaker collection).One room had a DJ stand and digital Biden/Harris merch (which is available out HQ and online).I picked up a Kamala Hoodie.There was another surprise downstairs. That's where they placed "Joe's Train Town." (I didn't get that reference either.)Before heading back to my isle of Wishbone, I stopped by for a balloon-selfie at the polling place. IWillVote.com
Fox "News" and the like chalked up Joe Biden's press conference whispers on Thursday as "creepy" and "bizarre." Although it was definitely an unusual way for a US president to deliver a press conference, I prefer the Daily Show's alternative description: a feel-good, spine-tingling ASMR trigger. ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, is a nonscientific… READ THE REST
President Joe Biden touched on a lot of topics in his speech to Congress last night, but there was one word he kept circling back to: "jobs." In fact, he said the word 43 times, according to APNews. And of course, Late Show host Stephen Colbert zeroed in on this (3:57) with a hilarious montage… READ THE REST
When asked today about Texas' and Mississippi's illogical decision to lift the mask mandates, President Biden told reporters that it was a "big mistake." Emphasizing that we need to follow science in order to beat Covid-19 (by wearing masks, washing hands, social distancing, and getting vaccinated!), Biden said he expects everyone to be vaccinated by… READ THE REST
Staying home for birthdays, date nights, or just a regular Thursday used to be boring, but by tweaking your surroundings, just a little bit, you'd be surprised at how different your space can feel, even if it's just your good old living room. If you want to create an ambiance that you'll always remember, these… READ THE REST
Whether you work from home, are a gamer, or simply own a smart gadget or two, finding enough outlets to plug everything into feels a lot like hunting for the world's hottest toy at Christmas time. In other words, it's a little chaotic, to say the least. And while traditional power strips are an obvious… READ THE REST
iPhones, AirPods, Apple Watches, oh my! Okay, that may not be what Dorothy said in The Wizard of Oz, but if she lived in today's world, she very well may. While all these Apple gadgets have become a part of our daily lives, necessary for many of our routines and tasks, caring for them and… READ THE REST
