"Those who have drank the AI Kool-Aid don't understand that all this brainstorming and iteration *is* making the game, it’s a crucial everyday part of game development (and human interaction) and is not a problem to be solved.”

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence.

Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

RFK Jr. forces out Peter Marks, FDA’s top vaccine scientist Marks, an architect of Operation Warp Speed for coronavirus vaccines, warned that a measles outbreak shows how confidence in science is being “undermined.”

This is beyond reckless. With measles cases spreading across TX and the U.S., we need scientists at the table, not folks pushing conspiracy theories. RFK Jr. is playing games with people’s lives.

This week, my Somerville constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.

Vivian Wilson on Being Elon Musk’s Estranged Daughter, Going Viral, and Protecting Trans Youth Elon Musk’s estranged daughter is coming into her own.

Vivian Wilson (@thevivllainous.bsky.social) is extremely online. Unlike her father Elon Musk, she’s really good at it. “Most of [the right] have the charisma of a soaking bathrobe. I mean, it's not my fault that most of them don't know how to be funny. It's not that hard.”

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

The theater kid to game developer pipeline is a thing that should be studied.

Because it is SO GOOD, @nilahmagruder.com! In my past life producing museum programs, I loved sharing this book with families. It’s even featured in the only museum blog post I wrote that still survives on the website: www.pem.org/blog/from-th...

Illustrated cover for the picture book HOW TO FIND A FOX by Nilah Magruder. A Black girl with a backpack and holding a camera peers around, on the lookout for something, while a fox hangs upside down, watching her just above her range of vision.

I got my latest royalty statement and somehow, beyond all reason, people are still buying HOW TO FIND A FOX nearly TEN YEARS!!! after publication.

The best way to keep a book in print is by winning an award, and FOX didn't win anything, so thank you for keeping it alive through sheer force of will.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

AltYello is a grifter and not a part of Altgov. Here he is soliciting money as though he were an actual scientist.

Reminder:
If you see this link in a post from alt(anyone), they are NOT #AltGov.
We do not ever ask you, the people we serve, for money.

After this week, I want House Democrats to do something like this.

This Hannah Arendt quote feels appropriate right now

"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."

ICE complaining about ACLU’s “Know Your Rights” education means it’s working. Everyone in the USA has due process rights. Keep sharing those ACLU red cards which list Constitutional rights. ICE: get a warrant. A REAL warrant signed by a judge

How Hitler Dismantled a Democracy in 53 Days He used the constitution to shatter the constitution.

It’s a playbook and we are running out of time.

This may be the last annual report of its kind for a while, I do expect that US Climate Science will be silenced.

Over the next decade, The United States could lose significantly more in damages and economic losses due to climate change than the profits generated by the oil and gas industry.
