We commissioned this over a year and a half ago when for some reason no game publication wanted to run it. Granted it took us forever to publish it but we'd like to do more of this. If you would are interested in seeing more writing on insert credit, both goofy and serious, give this a look/share!

Fallout Season 2 starts tomorrow. In true insert credit fashion, we had to find out the answer to the big question on everyone's mind: What level was Lucy by the end of season 1?

Thanks to the hard work of @iantothemax.bsky.social we now have the answer, just in time for her journey to New Vegas.
What is Lucy's level by the end of Fallout (TV)?
[Editor’s note: I commissioned this article from Ian Walker over a year ago upon learning he had pitched it to multiple outlets only to find nobody was buying. I then, due to various circumstances, sa...

Dass Deutschland die Aufnahmezusagen für 650 Afghan*innen in Pakistan zurücknimmt und sie ihrem Schicksal überlässt, nimmt mich wirklich mit. Eine „christliche“ Partei hat Grausamkeit zu ihrem Markenkern gemacht, ob aus Überzeugung oder aus Angst vor der AfD. Und der Koalitionspartner macht mit.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!
newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

Heading to Vienna tomorrow for the #IEEEVIS 2025 conference.

Time to get familiar with the city’s public transport network. 😅

I’ve marked the conference venue, the Austria Center Vienna, on the map.

A map which shows the public transport network as minimalistic black lines on a light background. The area is limited to a circle. The location of the Austria Center Vienna is marked with a dot in the Northeast of the map.

Vor einem Jahr erschien "Wut und Wertung. Warum wir über Geschmack streiten". Seitdem habe ich mit dem Buch viele schöne Erfahrungen gemacht. Ich denke/hoffe, das Thema ist nach wie vor aktuell.

Zum Anlass des Jubiläums verlose ich zwei signierte Exemplare.

Zum Mitmachen den Post teilen.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Just wanted to share this Google Scholar trick: I often have the problem that I want to find papers using certain computational methods, but specifically in my own field (for lit reviews).

You can do that by limiting the search to certain sources. My (imperfect) collection in the alt text.
"BERT" AND "multilingual" source:"Digital Journalism" OR source:"Digital Journalism" OR source:"International Journal of Press/Politics" OR source:"Journal of Communication" OR source:"New Media and Society" OR source:"Communication Methods and Measures" OR source:"Communication Research" OR source:"Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication" OR source:"Big Data and Society" OR source:"Political Communication" OR source:"Social Media and Society" OR source:"Computational Communication Research"

I have a couple of comments about the "free speech hero" narrative about Charlie Kirk.

First, was Charlie Kirk really notable for supporting the free speech of people he disagreed with? I haven't noticed that, though I could have missed it.

Hier eine Zusammenstellung, die die Gereiztheit von #Merz sehr gut veranschaulicht. Sehr dünnhäutig.

Hinweis: Es geht mir HIER nicht um die Inhalte, wirklich nur um ein Stimmungsbild. Ich werde noch ein paar Clips aus dem #Sommerinterview zu Sachthemen posten, die eine Einordnung verdienen.

I never posted this here, but I made a pretty big write-up over on Tumblr for anyone interested in learning #pixelart!
It's a guide on software, fundamentals, jargon and resources.

Since links are legal on Bsky I can share it: www.tumblr.com/tofupixel/75...
#tutorial

Hope someone finds it useful!
A screenshot of a tumblr post reading: "Title: So you want to learn pixel art? Subtitle: Part 1 of ??? - The Basics! Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic." Two images comparing artistic improvement, the left is of a rudimentary tree, and the right is of a statue in a wall recess surrounded by plants and dappled light. "My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art. This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!"

The "unitary executive theory" is a fancy name for a strategy used by authoritarians worldwide, rebranded for the US. It’s a legal blueprint for a power grab, and my new article explains how it turns the law itself into a tool for undermining democracy:
How to Dismantle a Democracy, Legally
The unitary executive theory is a masterclass in autocratic legalism.
