This story first dropped months ago but it's a phenomenal read.

Children clung to life in Sudan by the slenderest of threads, supported by community soup kitchens. Then the USAID funding cuts came, and their mothers watched them starve to death one by one. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

The effects of Covid in pregnancy are devastating and preventable by vaccination; now we have strong data from Penn Medicine that vaccines protect children and adolescents from long Covid

We have a cool feature on Steam for studios and publishers to show off their games, and build up followers over time. Big update to that feature: we just made it way easier to link games and show off your company to players. More at steamcommunity.com/groups/steam...

Today we shared the 2024 Year In Review, a summary of all the cool new tools and features we added to Steam last year. (plus some interesting data points about how the platform is growing). store.steampowered.com/news/group/4...

I loved the whole thing, but especially this part. Thank you to March of 2022, shout out to stepping away from a project so that you can return to it with gusto later. And thank you @localthunk.bsky.social .

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.

Next Fest wrap-up: bravo to the 50 most-played demos in this most recent fest. store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfes... So many cool games here 👍

yes, yes it is

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Big news from us: steamcommunity.com/groups/steam... "2,843 games from 1,160 different developers and publishers were featured in Daily Deals. These games came from developers in 68 different countries around the world."

This action is a direct hit to our economy, because NOAA’s specialized workforce provides products and services that support more than a third of the nation’s GDP. (3/3)

People want things to work and they want to be safe. Talk about the direct consequences of things like cutting FAA staff for airline safety. It would be helpful for pilots, flight attendant and crew unions to be doing this publicly and also privately through lobbying

Focus on the very unpopular aspects of the cuts. You can't go to national parks if there are no park rangers and it's unsafe to go there. National parks are very popular!
