Katy Tur out here blaming The Washington Post's un-subscribers on the absolute failure of that paper's leadership. Shame on her! People vote with their money! They don't need to fund things they dislike!

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

I think crunch in the games industry represents a failure of management and a violation of the social contract, particularly when applied "in advance" as opposed to in response to some emergency. That said, my feelings on it are complex. We crunched a LOT on System Shock 1 & 2 and Age of Myth.

The thing about the Boston Massacre— the fruits of arbitrary power— was not that the colonists were universally in the right. Things were thrown at the soldiers. But, the presence of a standing army escalated conditions. The use of force that night was not proportional. Citizens died needlessly.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

CHOTINER: So you're attending a No Kings protest today. ME: That's right. CHOTINER: But according to Steam, you've played over 450 hours of Crusader Kings 3. ME: Okay, well- Now hold on. That's sort of unfair. CHOTINER: Oh? ME: Sometimes I play as a duke or a count. CHOTINER: I see.

Today I showed the designers that you can name cells in spreadsheets and use the names in formulas (i.e. "=PLAYER_LEVEL" instead of "=C12"). You can then use the Name Manager to track or rename them. I thought this was common knowledge, but I guess not, so sharing that tidbit here.

Cancelled my Disney+ subscription. Which sucks on a bunch of different levels! I hadn't even gotten around to watching Andor yet! It's easy enough to resubscribe if they stop being fascists, which I hope they do. But right now this seems like the easiest way to send a message.

This is step one in how we lose free and fair elections. It’s not that Trump will “cancel” the midterms. It’s just everyone has to vote in person, and urban downtowns will be filled with ICE checkpoints and intimidating National Guard troops to “double check” that only citizens vote.
