About two years ago, I started my most ambitious video project yet: a video about the history, community, and future of the Overwatch Workshop. I failed at making that video three times since then. The only thing that ever got made was a sappy, sentimental montage of my fondest memories. Here it is

Thank You, Overwatch Workshop

It is gutting to feel I'd see greater success if I didn't care who I worked for, gave up on my morals, and embraced the latest harmful fad. Grifting has long been a thing, but at present it seems there aren't any consequences beyond one's own conscience and that it is the optimal way to make a buck.

BREAKING: Judge Angel Kelly blocks Interior Sec. Doug Burgum's “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History” Order as "a dangerous precedent of censorship and sanitization" and orders DOI to "restore and reinstall" removed materials "forthwith." ORDER: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER ON PLAINTIFES' MOTION FOR 5 U.S.C. § 705 STAY OR, IN THE ALTERNATIVE, PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
ANGEL KELLEY, D.J.

In 1872, Congress established Yellowstone National Park as the world's first national park, setting in motion the principle that natural wonders, historical sites, and cultural memory
belong to and serve the public. With over 433 park sites across the United States today, the
National Park system hosts millions of visitors each year seeking to enjoy the parks' iconic
views, monuments to our Nation's history, and memorials recognizing the sacrifice of many.
Beyond the scenic grandeur, the National Park system also serves as a cornerstone of public
learning, providing rich and informative signs, exhibits, and interpretive waysides on topics ranging from civil rights to environmentalism. From the echoes of abolition in John Brown's
Fort in Harpers Ferry, to the genesis of the modern LGBTQ+ civil rights movement at the
Stonewall National Monument, to the retreating ice of Glacier National Park in Alaska, the
National Parks preserve the multifaceted and multi-layered history of our Nation, including the good, the bad, and the ugly. Often referred to as "America's largest classroom," National Parks
serve in that spirit by telling the stories both of those who write history and those who go
unheard. The beauty of history is the unvarnished storytelling of a time gone by and the delivery
of undeniable truths. The Government's stewardship of these park sites thus carries a responsibility to present history in full rather than in favored fragments.

Unfortunately, the Government has disregarded these principles. Under the guise of
promoting American dignity, this Administration seeks to share a limited history by ordering the
removal of all signs, displays, and interpretive exhibits at National Parks that do not align with
its preferred narrative, thereby telling half-truths. In recent months, the Government has torn
down exhibits in Philadelphia's Independence National Historical Park memorializing the legacy
1 162 Cong. Rec. H7207 (daily ed. Dec. 6, 2016).

of people enslaved by the country's first President; removed signage detailing climate threats at
Fort Sumter in South Carolina, one of the most environmentally endangered sites in the country;
and wiped away descriptions of history and science at countless National Parks across the United
States. Not only does this undermine the integrity of the National Parks; it sets a dangerous
precedent of censorship and sanitization. The National Park Service Organic Act, the National
Park Service Centennial Act, and the National Parks Omnibus Management Act, as well as the
Administrative Procedure Act do not authorize such arbitrary and capricious action. The Court
thus GRANTS Plaintiffs' Motion for a Stay Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 705.

Because Defendants deemed it important to strip the parks of these undeniable truths in anticipation of the 250th Anniversary of our great Nation, it is equally important that our shared history be honestly told and fully restored by the 250th Anniversary to properly honor the remarkable achievements of the United States. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED:
Plaintiffs' Motion to Stay Under 5 U.S.C. § 705 is GRANTED forthwith.
2. Defendants are ENJOINED from taking any further action to implement Section
5 of Secretary's Order 3431, "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History," at park sites
managed by the NPS pending further litigation in this matter.
3. Defendants are ORDERED to take all necessary steps forthwith to restore and reinstall all interpretive materials at park sites managed by the NPS that, pursuant to the Secretary's Order, have been altered, removed, or damaged in the process of such removal since
May 20, 2025, to be completed within twenty-one (21) calendar days of this Order. Defendants are further ENJOINED from making any further alterations to interpretive materials at NPS
park sites pursuant to the Secretary's Order.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

This is so, so well-articulated.

People call this friction "grunt work." Schwartz uses exactly that phrase, and he's right that LLMs can remove it. What he doesn't say, because he already has decades of hard-won intuition and doesn't need the grunt work anymore, is that for someone who doesn't yet have that intuition, the grunt work is the work. The boring parts and the important parts are tangled together in a way that you can't separate in advance. You don't know which afternoon of debugging was the one that taught you something fundamental about your data until three years later, when you're working on a completely different problem and the insight surfaces. Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn.

The rescission quite literally states the purpose is “to ensure alignment with the Administration’s priorities.” No priorities should outweigh principles of integrity and transparency. A portion of the now-rescinded notice can be found below.

Excerpt from NOT-OD-24-178 which reads as follows:

Scientific integrity aims to make sure that science is conducted, managed, communicated, and used in ways that preserve its accuracy and objectivity and protect it from suppression, manipulation, and inappropriate influence. In support of our mission, NIH has always sought to incorporate robust scientific integrity principles and practices throughout every level of its scientific enterprise.
In fostering scientific integrity, NIH aims to ensure that (1) scientific findings are objective, credible, and readily available to the public, and (2) the development and implementation of policies and programs is transparent, accountable, and evidence-based. NIH has numerous policies and procedures to ensure the Nation's investment in biomedical research is scientifically robust and rigorous and that our workforce maintains the highest standards of integrity. In supporting the NIH mission, all NIH researchers and staff are expected to:
• Foster an organizational culture of scientific integrity,
• Protect the integrity of the research process,
• Communicate science with integrity, and
• Safeguard scientific integrity.
