Frank and I covered a lot in this, from his Midway work on Psi-Ops, to LittleJS, 13KB games and AI. The big lesson is to make projects smaller, share along the way, and finish them. Thanks again Frank for your insights & indie perspective! #gamedev #indiedev #sizecoding

Measles was wiped out in the U.S. 25 years ago and now we’re already past 1,000 cases in February because vaccination rates dropped below the safety line. This is what happens when public health gets gutted and people stop trusting basic science.

Two of them were convicted drug traffickers. But hey, they were former NFL players so they shouldn’t have to endure those kinds of things on their records. As usual, follow the money.
