Excited to announce that Joseph C Osborn at Pomona College and I just received an NEH grant to work on improvements to our GISST system to cite and analyze program and gameplay states! @csuci @pomonacollege

want steel to build a particle detector? you have to source low-background steel—manufactured before contamination from mid-20th century nuclear testing. want to build a text or image generator AI? you’ll have to source low-background training data—collected before 2022.

One of the great frauds in recent memory was perpetrated by the San Francisco Chronicle, which told voters that Brooke Jenkins was "progressive." Here is Sean Hannity, one of many on the far right praising Jenkins for returning the War on Drugs to SF.

I love grant reviews. 1) Good. 2) Good. 3) I couldn't follow this and have no idea what you are talking about or why you are doing it.

Understand that today's EPA ruling is the culmination of decades of careful and patient work by big business using dark money. It is the logical end point of the Powell memo newyorker.com/news/daily-com…

We are working on updating the GISST system, which allowed for citation and retrieval of in-browser emulated programs. I'm tweeting to see if anyone knows researchers working with historical business applications that might be interested in experimenting.

We are organizing a case study approach, and have games / design software pretty well covered. Hoping for links to people studying historical business / research software.
New research group site almost done. Fun to dive into mild web dev again for a little bit.
Is there any history of web development? Like, the progress of new acronyms / frameworks is unrelenting and the fundamental goal has always been the same? Anyway, I know what a JAM stack is now.

My student is running an evaluation study of a tool to scan historical Unity Projects. We are still looking for replies by Friday, May 13th, if you work with Unity in any capacity and have ~10 minutes. Link: forms.gle/UHbZTidTLpQHsDng7

Anyone have good source of "I need to communicate the viability of a games minor to admin" statistics? I think big numbers by dollar signs is usually a form of accepted communication.

Great to see democrats and republicans in the senate working together
Replying to @CraigCaplan
6-87: Senate rejected Sanders (I-VT) motion to instruct their negotiators with the House that semiconductor manufacturing companies receiving federal aid in the science and tech research funding bill don't block their employees from unionizing and outsource their jobs.

We are still looking for feedback on the Unity Scanner tool. It can analyze Unity projects and act as a file viewer for them. My student is looking for a few responses for their thesis. If you have a few minutes, watching the video and reacting would help: forms.gle/UJTRGcmxdQ5Y4P5A8
