@srirachanikorn So glad that you’ve found it useful!

Some of the most unusual video games in the world, written by Slovak teenagers during Communism, are now available in English. It's a massive effort to reconstruct a little-known piece of video game history. https://t.co/3YTXuqjyYw

@tmmalaby @SeriousPlayUWM Unfortunately the Q&A portion isn't included here, but the full symposium should be available for viewing before too much longer!

[Thomas Malaby @tmmalaby]

Our @SeriousPlayUWM YouTube channel just posted the talk that @ludoscholar and I gave at the Communities of Play conference this April. https://t.co/Y36BUYdD4Q

Das war eine total interessante Recherche, hab da unter anderem mit Prof @tmmalaby gesprochen, der als Anthropologe Linden Labs begleitet hat als sie Second Life gemacht haben und da viel über ihre Ideologie, ihre Einflüsse und Ideale gelernt hat

[Thomas Malaby @tmmalaby]

Looking forward to this weekend's event! @ludoscholar and I will be presenting/streaming on Sunday about "The Digitally Natural"

The right to vote is precious, almost sacred. It is the most powerful nonviolent tool or instrument in a democratic society. We must use it.

@tedlieu @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris Ran for governor because she wanted to change Georgia for the better.

Got beaten back by vicious voter suppression.

Dusted herself off, organized and rallied an army to fight voter suppression.

Came back to change America forever.

Hail, hail, @staceyabrams!

In case you’re wondering why none of these Trump lawsuits are going to go anywhere:

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

Where we are:

Either 100s of local and state officials across a half-dozen states, numerous judges in those same states, and countless voters are all acting in concert to perpetuate a massive conspiracy that subjects most of them to potential felony charges; or

Trump is losing.

You know I diss CNN on a regular basis, but it needs to be said:

John King is a machine.

Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania just now: “You can’t file a lawsuit against math. You can file a lawsuit against a ham sandwich, it doesn’t mean it’s going to go anywhere.”

@kreissdaniel @sivavaid Yet another chapter in where the authority that used to be invested in civic institutions has gone (compare the rollout of the euro virtually two years in advance).
