now that IGF voting is winding down I can say that there are not one but TWO really impressive, really good deduction games coming out in the near future. generally a very big moment for the genre but some of the work being done is extremely impressive

One game is Funeral for the Sun, which has the genius premise of Roottrees-esque genealogy deduction but with a Latin American, magical realist setting. But it's more than just a single clever idea; I think the time I spent with it only scratched the surface. store.steampowered.com/app/4088360/...

Right. Vought and Bhattacharya tried to gut NIH in 2025 via stopping spending (Fed Reg bans) and rescission. That failed. Now in 2026, they’re still using bureaucracy inside the agency to try to slow spending. But they need a new way to get the leftover money (meant for science!) out of NIH. 1/

Now that we’re on the cusp of an anti-cancer mRNA vaccine, it’s worth remembering all the right-wing fear-mongering about the tech. Like NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya going on Steve Bannon’s podcast the day after an anti-vaxxer shot up the CDC to say the mRNA platform was “no longer viable.”

When people talk about a "weaponized DOJ" this is what it looks like: An elderly public servant having to plead out to charges that wouldn't "likely" lead to conviction but could lead to bankruptcy. JFC, we have seen the enemy and they are us. Hoping the kids burn us down... 🤦🏻‍♀️

Part of the point here is that these people's conception of the ideal academic - undeniably smart, but hates woke - isn't easy to find, so they have to make him up or come up with a contrived historical example where the reality was actually much more restrictive and political than peak wokeness.

Let’s unpack this post by NIH and CDC Director and self-made victim Jay Bhattacharya. 1. This was not misreporting. This is what RFK Jr. said in his interview. 2. Free speech was not “suspended”. If it had been no one would know who Bhattacharya is.
Screenshot of Bhattacharya’s Twitter post that says This misreporting by @politico gets to the heart of the covid response disaster. If governments had not suspended free speech, and the media not abetted devastating takedowns of scientists for the crime of contradicting government scientists, so much harm could have been avoided.

Dear Director Bhattacharya:

During the recent National Academy of Medicine workshop, you explained your decision to withhold the CDC report on COVID vaccine effectiveness by saying it was a poor study decision. Your Fireside Chat companion (also an economist) rapidly agreed.

Fred Trump died in 1999 at age 93. He had, Trump said, a “heart that couldn’t be stopped” with almost no health conditions to speak of throughout his long life. “He had one problem,” Trump said. “At a certain age, about 86, 87, he started getting, what do they call it?” He pointed to his forehead and looked to his press secretary for the word that escaped him.

Offering the survivors of a missile strike no quarter and then ordering a second strike to finish them off puts Hegseth in deep, deep water. He gave an illegal order. This is either murder or a war crime. It doesn't matter what your title is, Secretary of Defense, or Fox Talk Show Host. It's murder.

Starting my Monday morning with an email to Director Bhattacharya... 1/6
Dear Director Bhattacharya:

 

I have an important question for you:

 

Do you hope to be taken seriously by the scientific community as someone who is making good faith efforts to understand issues with a scientific component who critically examines any data used as evidence in scientific arguments?

 

I ask because it is not at all obvious from many of your public comments including your recent opinion piece published with the NIH Deputy Director “Time to trash our pandemic playbook — making people healthy again may be the best medicine”.
