BREAKING: Sen. Ed Markey calls for Trump's impeachment.

The entire world needs to forever hold Elon Musk and the DOGE douches accountable for their actions in causing all of this.

I began doing this last May with a public collection of articles, videos, podcasts and websites on game history: felipepepe.medium.com/my-little-ga... It's also useful if content dies, so that you have the URLs to easily find them on Internet Archive (I also backed them locally, just in case...)

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

This currently has, uh, 10 views after nearly a day, so, if you’ve got some spare time and want to check out the show, today would be a good day. (The audio version of the show does just fine, but the video version is very up and down.)

Kit is showing me the FF7 PC mod collection she's downloaded and got all installed, and wow. Redone chibi-ish models and full voice acting with a community cast. And just the right mix of pixel chunkiness for the UI overhaul. Cosmo Memory, Echo-S, NiNo Models, and others.

California next pls 👀👉👈

Minnesota has just become the first state to ban prediction markets. Gov. Tim Walz has signed a bill that makes operating or advertising prediction markets a felony. This sets a major precedent for those seeking to regulate or ban Polymarket, Kalshi, and other sites.

Excellent reporting by Farnaz Fassihi and others @nytimespr.bsky.social and whoa so much material for a Persian Monty Python Netflix series for trump and bibi to install Ahmadinejad as the next leader of free Iran www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

I had the unbelievable pleasure of naming and translating Vivi and Grandpa's Memories for the Sky. Final Fantasy IX means so much to me and being trusted to lay a single brick in its foundation along with the great folks at SQEX Books is a true career highlight.

Revamped the teaching materials site. Light/dark mode switch at the top. More consistent, compact presentation of all the materials. + Icons and such! www.langmead-lab.org/teaching.html

What search engines do folks recommend (not Bing)? I know of DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, and Kagi, but I haven't used them much, so don't know their pros/cons (especially if Kagi is worth the subscription cost)

I'm curious about this photo from yesterday's neo-Nazi attack. The story is that the shooter stole his mom's car, so why does the gas can have the SS logo on it? Does it belong to her? I'm guessing he didn't buy the sticker and stick it on the gas can just for this www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Looks like the Prasad/Hoeg memo was finally released... "No child deaths were directly linked to COVID-19 vaccines, according to the FDA’s long-awaited analysis of adverse events."

Hey, hey! There's a strong chance I'll be at @vangamegarden.bsky.social in mid-June, and I'd love to meet up with Vancouver/BC-based game devs, writers, etc. So, let me know if you'll also be there!

"Africa CDC’s position is clear: generalised travel restrictions and border closures are not the solution to outbreaks. Such measures can create fear, damage economies, discourage transparency, complicate humanitarian and health operations, and divert movement toward informal and unmonitored routes"

Looking to find out more about genomic epidemiology and Hantavirus/ANDV? I'll be chairing a excellent panel of experts tomorrow (alongside some great opening speakers) - stop by and hear what they have to say!

Our hearts break with each new emerging detail from the deadly, hate-fueled shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego.

As a Lifetime Plex Pass owner, Jellyfin is way better IMO. I switched a few weeks ago: open source, great clients on all platforms I want to use, better audiobook support, book support (which can integrate with Calibre), better track details/selection, etc. jellyfin.org

"Both methods yield broadly consistent results, suggesting that as of 17 May 2026, approximately 400 to 800 cases of BVD may have occurred in the Democratic Republic of the Congo". Seems about right, if a tad conservative. Hopefully genomics will help. www.imperial.ac.uk/mrc-global-i...

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.
