I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this
I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

🎲 What keeps us coming back to a game? (Hint: it’s not just fun.) In this episode of Experience Points, I break down what player engagement really means — and how it applies to learning, design, and more. 🎧 youtu.be/x_z9J6RO45s?... #gamedev #gamesforlearning #seriousgames

I have never really enjoyed extraction shooters. Division 2's Dark Zone got the closest but still meh.
I have been playing #ArenaBreakoutInfinite and I think it makes the genre just the right amount of accessible while keeping the realism and looting deep enough for more hardcore players.

The more I watch Andor, the more I am impressed not just by the acting, writing and production design but how...humble it is.
It allows so many characters to play key roles. Diego Luna knocks it out of the park but the show doesn't feel carried by him. Its both about him and not about him.

vacuuming is now called roomscrolling
I put away my phone for the day and instead of doomscrolling, I cleaned my room. Much better use of time!

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.
The A.I.-Profits Drought and the Lessons of History
Like the steam engine, electricity, and computers, generative artificial intelligence could take longer than expected to transform the economy.

Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984.
The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.

A Brazilian trans woman, in the US legally under asylum, has been taken and disappeared by ICE.
Alice Correia Barbosa was in a car that was suddenly surrounded by unmarked vehicles and was "disappeared" by “agents” did not cite a reason.
Nothing creepy and mysogynistic about this at all.

Mamdani's fun idea for a scavenger hunt throughout NYC, using the subway or public transit, has succeeded beyond measure. They've run out of cards! And look how many young people are here.
Follow the #ZcavengerHunt hashtag for more live updates as the hunt progresses. Everyone's happy & having fun.

I just cannot imagine Cuomo or Adams getting this many people, especially people 40 and under, on a beautiful summer Sunday afternoon to do a scavenger hunts accessible by public transit

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

I've said it often, but libraries are, without hyperbole, one of the greatest things humans have ever done. Like ever.
