This is good stuff!

Wow, look at her projects--ports for Baldur's Gate II, Heroes of M&M IV, LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth, Command & Conquer 3--all huge games for me. Not to mention Bard's Tale I and III and a ton of others. Great game after great game after great game.

Why can't my interest in politics and my interest in nerddom collide in NICE ways??

"former gamer"? Sounds like you need to download a few new games!

Agree.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Just downloaded a copy--putting it in a class syllabus I am aiming to teach next year.

I haven't read the article yet, but I will say that the framing of "Trump is doing what the CCP does" is, I think, a good one for appealing to conservatives and independents who simply dismiss other arguments out of hand.

Aaaaand following. This is very cool!

Well put.

Are there any groups that are already well-situated to do this?

San Diego bishop tells Trump to treat migrants more ‘Christ-like’ after observing court hearings San Diego's immigration court has seen masked ICE agents detain migrants and refugees after leaving mandatory court hearings.

Accompanying migrants to court, Bishop Pham of San Diego, a refugee himself, tells Trump to treat migrants “more justly, kindly and Christ-like…They are human beings. We live on a land where the majority of us were immigrants at one time or another.” www.courthousenews.com/san-diego-bi...

Just read and enjoyed. Insightful!

I loved my keychain! See you in The Growers!

Reading this thread reminded me of Sarah Palin's convention speech where she said something to the effect of 'Barack Obama was a community organizer . . . whatever that means'. Because the logistical work of organizing is always less interesting--and thus less valued--than its ultimate effects.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
