Imagine having to ban - among many more. smh...

I'm here for the sobering accounts only. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/b...

The irony of course is that the comment, "We didn't murder Sociology. Sociology committed Suicide" is actually a sociological perspective. smfh....

Thinking about this quote on physical perception, interesting: "Getting a detailed description of the truth is too expensive in time and energy. It is also not usually relevant, since utility, not truth, is what perception needs to report." - we are built physiologically to seek out cheap copies.

We better start thinking about COVID again (for those who stopped).

Should be interesting. Back in Korea, 3rd time this year.

Jeff Kaplan talks for 5 hours about #Overwatch :/ I honestly don't get dudes who berate their gfs about watching tiktoks for hours, but then go off on a Joe Rogan session that lasts half the day.

Bsky keeps getting better. Honestly, it's place away from the madness.

Pretty sure the Kool-Aid man stayed in this hotel room once

for my folks

So if Kamala Harris had been elected do you think the United States would be in a war with Iran? Just asking...

Cats love “What if I stepped on you?”

It was confusing enough when Tyson decided to get the tattoo (a Maori inspired version of the tā moko). This is straight up sickening.

South Korean short-track speed skating is giving me an escape away from the hellscape we are in. So looking forward to this. #Olympics2026

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

TWL: Epstein was actually preemptively banned from #Xbox Live in 2013.

Had the tremendous pleasure of hearing from @kimtallbear.bsky.social discuss the different forms, threats of self-indigenization last night at UHM. The panel talk was some of the most intellectually satisfying, nuanced, and raw expositions on identity (esp. from our Kanaka folks).

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

RIP Johannes Fabian (1937-2026).

For my fellow American academics/researchers, etc: those who have international (EU) speaking engagements plans for this year, how are you planning to preface your talks - feeling it necessary to have an apology script ready to go. #AcademicSky

Once again, islands are getting all the right, and now wrong attention in the world. Sigh...

Doing some end-of-year cleaning and happened upon my first #Digra (Scotland) games conference swag back in 2015. 10 years ago...where has the time gone.

Yes.

Amazing what you get in clearance sales

Is there a way to reclaim the word "generative." I swear, it's as if people only happened upon the term from 2024-2025.

Dwanye "The Rock" Johnson speaks about now actively pushing himself into a entirely new roles. I had no idea that meant turning into Michel Foucault

When your esports stadium doubles as an ICE recruitment center. I have my week 2 lesson plans for my esports & society course all laid out. omfg. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I will never get over the fact that #Derrida taught at UC Irvine. Like, did he also stop by Wholesome Choice grocery store on the way back home from campus?

Off to Singapore next week for my first time for a talk on digital games/esports infrastructures. Is there any good food there? Hmu if you have any good recommendations. Ty!

I'm trying to rightfully put into context the recent trends of violence against infrastructures (whether autonomous transport systems, such as Waymo, or international aid regimes/USAID), and I'm having a hard time feeling sorry for the cars.

Dear god, I didn't realize how South Korean politics would end up being so therapeutic to watch. The competency and normality is so jarring. #LeeJaeMyung #SouthKorea

Foucault had a cat called Insanity (of course), Huxley had Limbo, Sartre had Néant, Derrida had Logos. Our cat's name is 은총 (Eunchong)

Excited to discuss: #Disability & Tech (videogames): 40th Pacific Rim International Conference on Disability Tuesday, April 15 - Wednesday, April 16, 2024, HST Honolulu, Hawaiʻi [in-person with virtual options] hashtag#PacRim2025. Contact: lnkd.in/gxZ6hUd6

My printer software seems to have been programmed by #Reviewer2 😆 #AcademicSky #AcademicChatter

In case Elon wants to learn how to do heart gestures correctly without throwing a Nazi salute.

Officially done with grading. Time to chill.

Thank you for the sharing thus far. #AcademicSky this may be of interest:)

This is a #Yonsei flex we needed. #HanKang at the Yonsei gates being recognized for her #NobelPrize in literature.
