American. Citizens. Cannot. Be. Deported. I know we all want to be concise, but we simply cannot use the shorthand terms of the fascists when they describe wildly illegal & unconstitutional things. Extrajudicial renditions. Kidnappings. Wildly unconstitutional fascism. All right there as options.

Don't look away. Of all the weaselfuckery going on, the effort to undermine a legal right to due process is by far the most important.

This is HUGE NEWS!!! Valve has announced that they will include accessibility tags for games on Steam so disabled players can find games that are accessible! The tags are close to ESA's Accessibility Games Initiative, but not quite, and could be confusing down the road. youtu.be/-t0Vc20w0Vk

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

and to think all this is happening because you didn't compost your pizza boxes. j/k it's because the fossil fuel industry is led by the greediest and most destructive people in the world and it will continue until they are brought to justice.

I agree with Robert Reich here but, again, understanding how social & cognitive biases work is missing in the analysis. Human biases are why scapegoating and propaganda work so well. If we want to combat these efficiently, we need to account for human biases.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

Reminder: European Accessibility Act comes into force this summer. It covers text/voice chat in the same way as CVAA. And ecommerce, defined as any transactions through websites or mobile apps. If you have a game website or mobile game that sells to people in the EU, it must be fully accessible.

Good piece but I’m surprised that Timnit Gebru’s work isn’t mentioned here. She’s been warning about TESCREAL ideology (barely mentioned) for a while, with Emile P. Torres. It seems to me that unity is key if we want to push back efficiently…

Seems like the news that someone tried to burn down the home of a Jewish governor on Passover with his sleeping family inside has been metabolized a bit too easily, no? Am I crazy?

This is particularly sad because I don’t think the current administration gives a shit. In fact, it might even be a win for them, Hollywood being supposedly “woke”…

SCOOP: An unsigned agreement between the US DOGE Service (USDS) and the Department of Labor (DOL), obtained by WIRED, calls for the DOL to reimburse the USDS up to $1.3 million for work done by four DOGE affiliates, or “a slightly different number,” over an 18-month period.
