@aliettedebodard.com Heya Aliette, do you use Obsidian, Notion, or something like that? If so, can I pick your brain?

It's okay for the abyss to stare back, but does it have to wink?

That's just unseemly.

Everyone concerned about data loss right now should learn about the End of Term Web Archive, which I believe has been working on preserving federal websites for the past 8 months. The dataset you fear has been lost may well be here

Just an incredible project. Thank you to everyone involved
How to Access the EOT Web Archives

Visit web.archive.org
Scroll to 🔎Collection Search section
Select "End Of Term (US Gov 2024)" from the menu
Type in your query term and click search

Or download bulk WARC files from eotarchive.org/data/

In gamedev, we joke about how we shouldn't care so much because "we ain't curing cancer" so chill, right?

But you know what? These last few weeks reminded me that the Arts, esp accessible Art like videogames is incredibly important because games have a big place in sculpting cultural norms.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

I am old enough to remember how the country lost its mind when Bill Clinton removed low level employees in the White House Travel Office.

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order:

"It does nothing"

"It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach"

Will not comply.

It’s not the most important thing the CDC does, but their page for the social vulnerability index is already down. A while back I created an R package to create the SVI locally, and it’s available on GitHub.
