If you are over 40, applied for a job using the Workday app in the last couple years, and believe their AI filtering might have illegally discriminated against you... You might want to join this potentially groundbreaking class action!

Worried I'll never make it in the Nerd Reich because I'm physically incapable of saying "anomalously bullish" with a straight face
Here's Karp again in their Q2 2025 call. Again, I read a TON of these as a financial editor and fact-checker. The self-aggrandizing, the resentment, the victimhood, the vindictiveness -- executives just don't talk like this on earnings calls!

Great piece from @jojolab.bsky.social - i really liked the insights on thinking about how to design experiments across species capturing latent variables. Fun and interesting read!
My perspective in @thetransmitter.bsky.social on why emotion research feels stuck and how we might move forward—by focusing on how the brain uses internal brain models to shape emotional processing across species. www.thetransmitter.org/emotion/why-...
Why emotion research is stuck—and how to move it forward
Studying how organisms infer indirect threats and understand changing contexts can establish a common framework that bridges species and levels of analysis.

I think this sums up what I've been trying to do in all my writing about games over the last 20 years. Games are not just a commodity, they're cultural artifacts with cultural value. They reflect our culture no less than books and film, and in many cases lead our culture.
But compared to the other screen industries, they don't have access to "cultural" funding. With one exception - Wales - all the other funding for games comes via the "economic" path that requires growth. Games MUST sell, not merely be "needed" the way books or films are. 6/9

I can't thank @midnight-runner.bsky.social enough for snagging this screenshot. This is a DISGUSTING post, and it's so important for it to see the light of day.
The Alt National Park Service is ruthless. They have no regard for Alex Pretti's life. To them, he's just content.

Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.
A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

The altnps account is the 13th most followed account on Bluesky and has more followers than every single news outlet other than the NYT, NPR and Meidas Touch on here. They actively spread misinformation and exploit gullible old people for cash. Accounts this unethical do not deserve to exist.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.
When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL
I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.
The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

Senate Democrats say they won't vote for ICE funding without reforms. Good.
Now, we must negotiate hard.
At least five demands must be non-negotiable before the bill comes to the House:

I will vote NO on the funding bill for Trump’s ICE.
They are killing Americans.
Detaining children.
Trampling our freedoms.
We are losing our humanity.
This is a defining moment for our nation. A moment for moral courage. We must stand together and say no.
