Can't believe Activision, Bungie and Wordle, the three great gaming publishers, all just exited.

Why does ‘bioethics’ only attract people who should not be allowed anywhere near living creatures let alone given authority to pronounce on how best to handle anything alive or sentient https://t.co/DR0NHrruyb

I love finding New Yorker cartoons so dated that the joke is lost entirely and the cartoons become just descriptions of people doing normal things.

Good thread on Russia, Ukraine & the mistakes progressives make in analysing the situation.
Terrell Jermaine Starr @Russian_Starr
I have some thoughts about how progressives should understand what is happening in Ukraine.I am concerned progressives are comparing U.S. intervention in Iraq to Russia and the two are very different scenarios. I say this as a progressive and expert of this region.

The moral of every story about something dumb happening at a school board somewhere is that school boards are a bad idea and the mayor or county executive should appoint an administrator to run the school system.

No more elaborate exemptions
No more "X% above mandated BMR reqs"
No more haggling over the definition of what "teacher housing" is
As @CSElmendorf said: "Time’s up. Strip it from the charter and be done with it." - progressive whining be damned

We had this weird political thing where some public health people decided that boosters were a way of hoarding vaccines and depriving poor countries. And the political Right couldn't push back on that because they were in full antivax mode.
Adam W Gaffney @awgaffney
The US Covid vaccination campaign has been a failure. While some may point to unique right-wing anti-vaxx politicization, that does not explain it fully. Health systems factors are almost certainly a major factor — how else can we explain massive underperformance on boosters? https://t.co/XTZoNM4SlD
