Getting Yelled at By Dumbasses https://www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/getting-yelled-at-by-dumbasses
Text Shot: What I do know is that there is no need to look upon the dull, vindictive, racist monsters running our government as a new or inexplicable sort of villain. I see in them a much more familiar identity: internet commenters.

I loved these games and every word of this is true:

Sierra made the games of my childhood. Are they still fun to play? https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/05/sierra-made-the-games-of-my-childhood-are-they-still-fun-to-play/
Text Shot: Replaying Space Quest II, encountering the half-remembered jokes and visual designs, brought back these memories. The novelist Thomas Wolfe knew that you can't go home again, and it was probably inevitable that the game would feel dated to me now. But playing it again did take me back to that time before the Internet, when not even hint lines, insta-death, and EGA graphics could dampen the wonder of the new worlds computers were capable of showing us.

“The concluding moves” sounds ominously familiar

Americans have tuned out Gaza at the worst possible moment https://www.vox.com/world-politics/412513/israel-gaza-offensive-gideons-chariots-trump
Text Shot: This, however, is the worst possible time to look away. What Israel is promising is not yet another round of fighting, but a criminal escalation of a morally abhorrent war.

Trump’s top negotiator accused of breaking protocol in talks with Putin
https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/360685701/trumps-top-negotiator-accused-breaking-protocol-talks-putin
Text Shot: A video of Witkoff’s visit to the Kremlin on April 25 showed Putin greeting him with open arms. He did not appear to be accompanied by advisers who usually support US officials at negotiations. When a woman joined Witkoff on his side of the table, he pointed at her and said: “Interpreter? From the embassy? OK.”

Trump’s Revenge on Public Health https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2025/04/trump-hiv-public-health-revenge/682410/
Text Shot: Some four decades into the fight against AIDS, “we were actually talking about eliminating HIV globally,” Mofenson told me. Now, though, decades’ worth of progress seem to have “just disappeared overnight.” That includes the work the public-health establishment has done to collaborate with affected communities. “It has taken us decades to be able to build the trust,” El-Sadr told me. “Now it’s like we are rolling back the years.”

Killing USAID is truly one of the worst own goals in modern history.

Experts warned USAID's gutting would give China room to replace the US. Now, it's happening. https://www.businessinsider.com/china-replace-usaid-shutdown-humanitarian-aid-funding-development-assistance-2025-3
Text Shot: China has long focused on infrastructure and construction projects in other countries. Beijing could also look to other sectors that China already leads, like agriculture and public health. That could boost the country's bottom line and its publicity efforts, said Jeremy Chan, a senior analyst on the China and Northeast Asia team at the risk consultancy Eurasia Group.
