This is the verified fund to help the family is murdered today at the Islamic Center of San Diego. You can verify it at their website. Just contributed. There will need to be a lot of healing for the survivors too. goodbricks.org/campaign/ics...

Me blocking someone

In 2025, HHS issued stop work order for federal research lab that studies Ebola virus and other deadly pathogens and fired its director. This lab was a world leader in accelerating development therapies and vaccines for Ebola and other viruses. 1/ www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

White supremacists murdered Muslims at a mosque in my neighborhood. Yet *another* act of Islamophobia and hate towards Middle Eastern people. When will our government do something about domestic terrorism in our country? @sarajacobs.house.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @governor.ca.gov

BREAKING: Police identify 17-year-old Cain Clark & 18-year-old Caleb Velasquez as the shooters who attacked the San Diego Islamic Center, killing 3, including security guard Amin Abdullah, a father of 8. Cain left a suicide note about "racial pride." White supremacy terror thriving in 2026 USA.

Please consider donating to support the family of Amin, the security guard at the Islamic Center who alerted teachers quickly of a shooter and died putting himself between the shooters and others. launchgood.com/Amin

Over a year ago, I spoke with @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social about Dreams on a Pillow for a piece that was killed before it could be published. I am honored that he was willing to take the time to speak with me again in spite of that and tell me about his beautiful homeland: kotaku.com/upcoming-ste...

MANGA'S FIRST CENTURY is an Eisner nominee!!!!! It's nominated in the Best Academic/Scholarly Work category alongside some other great books. Thank you so much to the nominating committee, and congratulations to all the nominees!! www.comic-con.org/awards/eisne...

Devastated by the horrific attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego. There is no place for anti-Muslim hate in America. We must confront this violence and protect the right to worship safely. My prayers are with the victims and their loved ones.

I say it all of the time because it's true: Islamophobia in the U.S. is absolutely one of the most tolerated forms of bigotry. It's everywhere, routine and rarely challenged. It's not surprising that teenagers who swim in this water from birth would also be Islamophobic.

This guy is such a fucking piece of shit. That mosque *did* hire their own armed security, and he was one of the 3 casualties aside from the shooters themselves. All the synagogues in the area also have armed security. These people are genuinely evil

This is BIG. These are the first charges relating to an incident that occurred during an enforcement operation.* The officers involved were accused of lying under oath about this shooting, as the Trump admin admitted. *the previous indictment involved an ICE agent who road raged while on duty.

Hold on to your butts.

Initial genomic characterization of the Bundibugyo virus outbreak in Eastern DRC with cases in Uganda. Join work between INRB in DRC and CPHL in Uganda plus many partners. virological.org/t/initial-ge...

Amazing speed from the teams in Uganda and the DRC - impressive! Three genomes released so far - a few quick takes: 1️⃣ New genomes ~equidistant from 2007 and 2012 outbreaks. 2️⃣ Represents new spillover from reservoir. 3️⃣ Limited diversity, so too early to speculate on timing. Great work ⭐!

Imam Taha of the ICSD has been my guest speaker several times. All I can do now is keep changing channels until we know what has happened. There’s no way I can concentrate on anything else right now.

Today I’m talking at GamesBeat Summit in LA, along with Jenova Chen, Jessica Murrey, and Dean Takahashi about the Ethical Games initiative (ethicalgames.org). I'm also happy to chat about your #UX strategy needs so don't hesitate to say hi if you're attending! #gamedev #ethics

I'll be driving up from San Diego to the Bay Area in mid-June and am hoping to meet up with people along the way as well as when I'm in the Bay! Let me know if you want to meet up! Especially if you want me to give a talk at your institution 😄

NEW: With the departure of FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and CDER Director Tracy Beth Høeg last week—which follow the exit of CBER Director Vinay Prasad last month—the list of Robert Kennedy Jr.’s anti-vax allies in high-ranking roles at HHS has shrunk considerably. Our report.

I don't think this is negotiable and people need to come out and say it this is maybe most corrupt action ever taken by a united states president, it is an egregious crime against this country, and nobody involved should walk away unscathed

This is the last full week of Save the Games 2026 early bird tickets, ending (hopefully!) at the end of the day on Monday, May 25! We're trying to get a rough count for events happening on July 29 and 30. I appreciate the many of you who have already purchased! www.museumofplay.org/save-the-gam...

Donald Trump is a convicted criminal. The Trump administration is a criminal organization. This a direct deal to pay off his criminal co-conspirators. The United States government has been taken over by a criminal gang.

1. What I found in Trump's new 113-page financial disclosure report. It doesn't look good.

Wtf is Bundibugyo virus & why should you care? 1. It’s a type of ebolavirus 2. This outbreak is very bad already & we don’t have any idea how big it is. It’s been going on for weeks or even months. 3. We’re about to enter the find out stage of #MAHA #FAFO. And the US has a lot to account for.

If you’ve ever worked inside a federal agency, or know someone who has, you already know this kind of purging weakens our country. HEIST documents how institutions are dismantled from the inside out. Watch the full documentary on YouTube. And visit the website at www.heistthedocumentary.film

Today @who.int declared a PHEIC—a public health emergency of international concern—for the Bundibugyo ebolavirus outbreak in DRC/Uganda without convening an Emergency Committee. That is unprecedented. The situation is catastrophic. Six experts explain why: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKag...

What is happening here as well, is that many career scientists at e.g., NIAID are transitioned to Schedule P/C, meaning that they can be terminated at will. The purge across our scientific and public health institutions continues, as congress is completely asleep at the steering wheel.

Woah, looks like the #RetroTINK5x just got a big new firmware update: retrorgb.com/retrotink-5x...

@who.int declared the #Ebola outbreak in DR Congo & Uganda a public health emergency of international concern after cases spread to Kampala and Kinshasa. The outbreak involves the rare Bundibugyo strain, for which there are no approved vaccines or treatments. tinyurl.com/fatdnbbr

Just in: Director-General of the WHO, having consulted the States Parties where the event is occurring, has determined that the Ebola disease caused by Bundibugyo virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda constitutes a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC).

What a tragedy. My family is waiting for a cure. I'd venture a guess that most families are, of one kind or another. Destroying our country's biomedical enterprise puts that brighter future out of reach. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Jay Bhattacharya and RFK Jr (and their other weirdo friends) are shit stains on America's health infrastructure

Late in the afternoon on Friday (yesterday), HHS/NIH did 2 things: 1) They RIFd more employees (despite the extreme staffing shortages). 2) They sent announcements to supervisors letting them know people in their chain of command will be moved to the career/policy “at will” status. 🧵1/3

New #Ebola outbreak in DRC involves Bundibugyo, a rare species for which there are no approved vaccines or antibody treatments. Transmission may have gone undetected for weeks in a remote mining region affected by conflict, weak infrastructure & heavy cross-border movement. 🎁🔗👇 tinyurl.com/2t4ux34h

i’m starting to plan for my 2027/2028 sabbatical and i’d love to meet up with different videogames or eco-media arts communities, pretty much anywhere in the world (other than the US for the time being). looking for suggestions for workshops, residencies, or university labs to visit!
