As students settle into their 2025/26 routines, the WFP is launching a series on chronic road-safety issues & possible solutions. I’ve kicked off this important public-interest project — I’ll admit I’m biased; my best friend was killed on her bike in 2020 — on A6 today. (1/X)

The guy who created the Choose Your Own Adventure books released an 11 page booklet on nine things he's learned in 90 years. edwardpackard.com/wp-content/u... I found it surprisingly sweet and worthy of contemplation. (Although I was slightly disappointed with the lack of branching paths.)

New Game: Blank Page Boogie-Woogie. A game-designing game for making quick and silly games with your friends. All you need to get started is a pen, some paper and some willing co-designers. illomens.itch.io/blank-page-b...

Wrapped up in a satisfying manner! A mind-bending murder mystery set in the 1920s with sci-fi elements. Recommended.

Oh boy, so many possibilities! Bob Dylan, 10,000 Maniacs, REM, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mae Moore, Leonard Cohen, Red Fisher, and K.D. Lang. For mom it would be the Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Mozart, Vivaldi, Simon and Garfunkel, Ennio Morricone, oh and for sure the soundtrack to the movie Cocktail. :)

Metaphors of violence/war in political discourse are lazy & don't reflect the collaboration required in a democracy. - "Fighting" for constituents - Campaign "war chests" and "war rooms" - Political "battles grounds" - "War on <Noun>" policies #Winnipeg: Tyler's opinon piece in worth the read! 👇

⭐ NXTWPN10 is out! ⭐ graebor.itch.io/nxtwpn10 This is a #godotengine remake of my first ever Ludum Dare entry, which was way back in 2013! I had a lot of fun re-creating and making some tweaks to this old idea to give it a bit of new life ✨ #gamedev #indiedev

HACK THE PLANET! Hackers was released 30 years ago. I was 18 years old, had just started Computer Engineering, went by the handle Way-K on IRC, and was in and out of trouble with the uni IT folks for what I called my "independent security research". Peak 90s movie for me. What a soundtrack!

I love this analytical take on video game categorization from Antoine Mayerowitz and Julie Belzanne: hushcrasher.substack.com/p/taxonomy-o... Instead of trying to vibe-intuit the definition of an "indie" game, the authors analyzed the data from the perspective of game size and credits length
