Games and geopolitics are my jam Former: Blaseball
We should totally take all the safety’s off. What could go wrong
Is this bad? This seems bad...
Can’t wait to see how this improves upon an already amazing game
The countdown is on! 13 days until we launch Brass: Pittsburgh. 🚂 What are you most excited for?

The inhuman dreams of the tech elite. No one told these people that space is pretty deadly to life?
Can’t wait to tell my students about this
A while back, I wanted to try to grow some food on my roof. I’m really happy with my garden
BREAKING: A source tells me that the Trump administration has shut down public access to every single National Climate Assessment, the Congressionally-mandated quadrennial report assessing how climate change is affecting the U.S. This is what you get when you try to access them online
I agree with Altman that policy makers need to become more nimble. No policies or total permissive policies are not the answer here. Quick adaption of policy to handle a rapidly developing technology is paramount

It took a liberal-Left alliance to defeat Cuomo. Big props to Lander for being a man of principle who refused to punch Left At the same time, Zohran smartly rejected a widespread leftist tendency to treat liberals and liberalism only as ideological competitors to be fought
Diplomacy in a social media world. Declaring victory is more important than a sustained effort to resolve conflict
Oh so it turns out solving a middle eastern conflict isn't as simple as doing a flyover, dropping a couple payloads, and calling it done? Damn, who could have guessed
I think a reframe is justified: the media likes making money. Trump and war make them money
the media likes trump, likes war, and so crafts their coverage to try to help trump (who they like) start a war (a thing they like). easy to see in their coverage today where a token, pre-annoucned and de-escalatory strike by iran that hit no targets was covered like it was pearl harbor
More like because he’s a weak and insecure simpleton who folds like a house of cards
Let's be clear: Trump is thinking of entering a war against Iran without Congressional authorization or legal basis because his birthday parade was a dud and he thinks the war will produce arousing pictures for him to look at on Fox News.
I'm here for the dreams. Mamdani has dreams of a better place. We need more dreams and fewer criminals and sex offenders, and less corruption
I like Mamdani as a person but wouldn’t rank him first for the same reasons the Times lists. Lander for sure. But the idea that the monstrous guy who has ALREADY SPECTACULARLY FAILED poses a greater risk than the guy who hasn’t done much and dreams big is a sign of a deeply corrupted politics.
There are nearly 100,000 people at the rally in Philadelphia. #NoKings
From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!
This is very much the truth. It's already disrupting things
Engineers, once the crowned royals of tech, are now nervously watching AI vibe its way into their jobs—with vibes, vibes only.
Is this the constitutional crisis that will matter?
BREAKING: Gov. Newsom is asking for a restraining order on Trump/Hegseth's use of the military in Los Angeles, saying they are preparing to go on immigration raids with ICE. He wants a ruling within two hours. "They must be stopped immediately." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
