The PlayStation 5 Pro doesn't feel like the console of the future; it feels like a vestige of a rapidly disappearing past. This week's announcement just showcased the futility of the video game graphics arms race.

🚨BREAKING: Genetics firm 23andMe confirms user data theft in a credential stuffing attack.
The hackers released 1 million lines of data targeting Ashkenazi Jews.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
More context: the company’s servers were not breached. The attackers logged in to user accounts that had simple or reused passwords, and leveraged the “DNA relatives” feature to gain more information. “The information does not appear to include actual, raw genetic data.”

Some folks assume that #qualitative research is always inductive & grounded—that magically, after repeated readings, the “themes emerge.”
As such, they drag their feet in reviewing literature & wait until the end before wading into focused analysis. The result?

Some homework set by Lucas of @spritesoflife at the end of his @MultiPlayN talk on conservation in Pokémon.
Why not give it a go with your favourite GeoMon! If it’s a fossil Mon, why did it go extinct? Does it have living relatives that are in a sticky situation? Let us know!

Absolutely amazing @MultiPlayN talk from @spritesoflife’s Lucas! The animations went above and beyond and the science was very thought provoking!
Thank you to everyone who enjoyed Lucas and his Pokémon Conservation talk at @MultiPlayN and their Pokélab series. It was a lot of fun and we hope to do it again soon #Pokemon

Really interesting talk from @jamie_woodcock earlier on what quantitative data can tell us and how it can be used. Check out one of his projects on mapping and documenting collective movements at gameworkersolidarity.com
