Sara Nelson losing by 16 points is pretty fantastic. Ann Davison losing by 25 is even better.

A new poll shows us significantly ahead of the incumbent. But among likely voters? A dead heat. Now is the time to make sure everyone in your life gets their ballot in! Join us on Sunday for a march to the ballot box with Congressman Jamaal Bowman. Details in bio!

New from 404 Media: Google removed an ICE-spotting app too. Called Red Dot, an immigration support group on the ground in Chicago told me it was using it. Google now removed, just like Apple did with ICEBlock after DOJ pressure. Google calls ICE vulnerable group

Google Calls ICE Agents a Vulnerable Group, Removes ICE-Spotting App ‘Red Dot’
The move comes as Apple removed ICEBlock after direct pressure from U.S. Department of Justice officials and signals a broader crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

an image in the format of a neon Genesis evangelion episode title card. It says “ladies and gentlemen this is mambo number five” with “number” misspelled with a second N in place of the M. Below it are the names of the girls from the Lou Bega song “Mambo No. 5” in katakana (Angela, Pamela, Sandra, Rita, Monica, Erica, Tina, Mary, and Jessica)

a picture of a white, freshly 3d printed 3dbenchy, still on its build plate. it is clearly under-extruded; the higher up you go on the print, the more material is missing. the chimney is missing entirely, and you can see a string of filament in front of the benchy, presumably what was supposed to be the chimney.

Wow we’re having “games are art” discourse again! Just gonna leave this here.

From my dissertation:
2.1 Lenses, Not Boxes I wondered whether this section was necessary, but games discourse seems to repeatedly find itself adrift in questions of whether _ counts as a _. We have seen the question repeatedly: Do games count as art? Do games without goals count as games? Is The Sims a game? Are hypertexts interactive fiction? Are Twine pieces literature? In fairness to the researchers cited here, all of whom I respect immensely, many of these sources pose or imply the question rhetorically. Still, the necessity of such a framing frustrates me. "Is _ a _?" is, in my opinion, a fruitless question. The question can never be answered to anyone's satisfaction, and it often serves as either a provocation to espouse politics or as a cover to institute gatekeeping. Its agenda is usually opaque to onlookers and bewildering to those trying to advance the field from across disciplines. We should be thinking in lenses, not boxes. It is always more interesting to ask "If we think of _ through the lens of _, what do we learn?" We know it is more interesting to ask "What do we learn by considering Tom Stoppard through the lens of poststructuralism?" than to ask "Is Stoppard's work poststructuralist?" And while some works may be more or less fruitful when examined through different lenses, sometimes the most unlikely pairings of lenses and objects are the most rewarding. Certainly any of the questions above would be much better served by reframing them in this way.
