I think Arthur Morgan should be a character in every video game.

Not because he's the best character ever written but also because he deserves to have a nice time in Stardew Valley.

Far be it from me to criticize anything about Red Dead Redemption 2, but I don't know why I have to watch my horse shit so much.

A massive study of 50,000 households over 1,000 archaeological sites provides ample evidence that inequality is not a "natural" outgrowth of sophistication. Instead, it is a political choice. Which means, kids, that we don't have to choose it.

Overwhelmed with gratitude to the one and only @sezindevikoehler.bsky.social for citing my work so extensively in her book Much Ado About Keanu! I absolutely cannot wait to dive into this and so, so humbled to be a part of it.

Thank you and congratulations Sezín! ❤️#Academicsky #KeanuReeves

My presentation for the Popular Culture Association went great! I had a fabulous panel member and super engaged audience. I went from doubting I could do it and nearly canceling to killing it. ❤️

Schedule I is the single most addictive indie game I've played this side of Stardew Valley. It is also a one-man passion project, funneling years of work into the gameplay, atmosphere, and music to create a fully realized world that is easy to enter and hard to master.

Murderers you see every day:

Cops
Anti-vaxxers
People against trans healthcare

You should react to them the same way you would react to any serial killer: disgust and shunning.

"The fact that the Department of Homeland Security found it necessary to state that the arrests were “not related to student protests,” is deeply alarming. Why would this statement be necessary if the purpose of these arrests was not related directly to political intervention?"

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.

We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

I'm not lying when I say the season 7 premiere of Game Changers on #DropoutTV is the most insane (semi-ethical) hour of TV I've ever seen. I was gagged from start to finish and while trying to explain it to a friend they just replied, "That's legal?"
