To think -- some of us spent all that time and effort in school studying science, history, and math. We thought deeply about ethics and society.
Now, our government and businesses are run by the kids who cheated on all the exams. Our law enforcement and defense are run by the kids who skipped class to drink behind the bleachers. And our health care and science policy are run by the people who ate the crayons.

The best outcome would have been for Chrome and Android to have been spunt out into non-profits, endowed with the cash Google has been paying Apple to avoid any more competition across apps/search/web.
It has not helped matters that neither the DOJ, nor most civil society orga, could see through private equity-adjacent market logic to understand the public interest in these software projects. Big own goals.

This list is a work in progress where I’m listed 50 games which have had a substantial impact on my life. This isn’t necessarily an endorsement of each of these games, but rather a project of personal reflection. I’ll flesh out this list over time, but…

I used to ask for help every Tuesday to provide food for my family for a week. I haven’t been able to do that recently because I’ve been trying to raise funds to move. I would be incredibly grateful for any support now to help provide food for my family.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support!

Couple of 2025 @robb + omg.lol St. Jude Relay fundraiser updates:
1. We’ve raised nearly $6,500 so far, which is incredible! Thank you to everyone who has given! 🥳
2. Over the weekend, three auctions will go live on https://bids.lol for three very awesome single-letter addresses. 👀
3. The general omg.lol lifetime upgrade offer is still live, but it will come to a close soon (probably within the next few days). If you wanted to upgrade your existing address to lifetime, you can still do it (for now)! https://home.omg.lol/addresses 🤩

A major catastrophe in Gaza City.
The occupation is now threatening to target the Mushtaha Tower, one of the largest towers in #Gaza, even though it is surrounded by hundreds of displaced people's tents, and it has been targeted repeatedly before.
All of this comes after the Israeli occupation's statement about beginning to expand its operation in Gaza City, with the first phase being the demolition of multi-story buildings.

“…the broader pattern is that companies are canceling or delaying their expansion plans. Spending on factory construction in the United States, a good indicator of the outlook for domestic manufacturing, declined in each of the first six months of Mr. Trump’s second term, ending a period of rapid growth under President Joe Biden.”

“This… is also a national story. If the administration proceeds as expected, Chicago will be the third major American city governed by members of Mr. Trump’s political opposition to be subjected this year to the presence of military force, after Los Angeles in June and Washington last month. Other blue cities and states may reasonably fear that they will be next. Mr. Trump is threatening to radicalize our nation’s politics in a way not seen in our lifetimes.”

“the SEALs have an uneven track record that for decades has largely been concealed by secrecy.
Elite Special Operations units are regularly assigned some of the most difficult and dangerous tasks. Over the years, the SEALs have had a number of major successes… that have built an almost superhuman public image.
But among some in the military who have worked with them, the SEALs have a reputation for devising overly bold and complex missions that go badly.“
yup
