I remember when supporting the Washington Post felt patriotic. But their editorial supporting the complete destruction of the historic East Wing is just the latest sign that their ownership prefers sucking up to those in power versus standing up for what is right. Goodbye.

So far today I've read headline articles about how spraying Roundup on crops, and burning tires to make cement, are fine and good. Pardon me, but I'm not buying it.

I sent a Quack-O-Gram and you can too! Show your support for science by sending your Congressional representatives a ducking message about the importance of strong leaders in our science agencies.

Thank you for your work in government, I'm sorry you are getting dragged by these clowns. They seem to want to make working for government so risky that no one will want to do it.

How many billions of people have gotten an mRNA-based COVID vaccine? This is madness.

Windows Sandbox is sure handy when I'm judging game jam games or messing around with other Windows executables that seem a little sketch. Highly recommended! learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...

It has been the honor of my life to serve as Commissioner of BLS alongside the many dedicated civil servants tasked with measuring a vast and dynamic economy. It is vital and important work and I thank them for their service to this nation.

Thank you Sho Sato and @igda.org Japan for organizing the Kyoto Serious Games Summit! I was sad to need to attend remotely but enjoyed the opportunity to hear more about Japanese serious games. May there be many more future events!
