    Really great video game channel with unique content. He played all the same games I did growing up so it’s really nostalgic for me as well.

    The “unremarkable and odd places” series makes me feel some kinda way. And check out the huge back catalogue of his glitch show Eggbusters.








  • The legislative branch of the US government is bicameral, which means it is composed of two houses. One being the House of Representatives, and the other being the Senate. The House of Representatives is composed of 435 Representatives, divided proportionally based on the population of the states, while the Senate is composed of 100 members, with two from each state. The theory behind this bicameral legislature is that the House of Representatives represents the people, while the Senate represents the states.

    The Senate and House together make up the legislative branch. They work together to enact legislation, and they also hold checks and balances over the other two branches (executive and judicial).

    Each of the houses has more specific duties as well. The Senate has power to confirm presidential appointments, to approve or reject treaties, and to convict or exonerate impeachment cases brought by the House.

    It is possible that your friend’s father is a state senator, which means he would represent the interests of one portion of his state to that state’s government. These people are often referred to as “senator” in common speech as well.
