I mean this with all earnestness that this is one of the most beautiful things I've seen this year; the little person that thrashed in your head when you heard The Money Store escaped and made a video: youtu.be/hikfX0FdCBk?t=…

This new paper really upends conventional narratives about international development. Basically, poor countries are developing rich countries, not the other way around. I'll highlight the key points in the thread below: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Yes this a thousand times this: “Feminism has never, for five minutes, been about lock step.” nytimes.com/2020/05/18/opi…

3.7 million people are going to lose food stamps if the USDA finalizes its other two proposed changes to SNAP. An obscenity

@SpyPartyFans And you chose the player that's adapted the least over their whole career to show in the example?!

We've updated player pages so you can now filter not just by season, but either before or after a given season. Similar functionality will be included in the next major Game Finder upgrade.

There's still time to join season five of the SpyParty Competitive League! Don't be shy, they've got divisions for all skill levels. Throw your rifle in the ring: spypartyfans.com/signups.php

@SpyPartyFans Sweet! This would look better with a google doc preview though...

What was Mario’s original name? #PAX2018

@chrisabowyer The nose part, specifically

My candle just lied right to my face.

@SpyPartyFans Man, I don't even know what this one is referencing but I *feel* like I should be groaning.

@SpyPartyFans Started watching last night's VOD intending to skip around, but then got so engrossed I made several jokes in the chat before I remembered it was a recording.

If you didn't catch the Gold Finals cast live, you'll definitely want to check out the VOD: twitch.tv/videos/2908831…

I keep coming back to this liking it more. Fantastic example of an audio/visual album that has two fairly distinct identities; I've watched the video and then listened to the audio alone and for both I come away with something that makes me glad I'm alive for this. Sincere!

@LtHummus Also the game is so good at being compelling & difficult that so far I've tried to 100% as I progress, which leads to a wildly varied difficulty curve...but I kind of like it. Which I think means my ideal difficulty curve isn't as smooth as I thought it was.

@LtHummus I'm shocked at what a good mechanic clinging to walls/climbing turned out to be. It goes against a lot of what I assumed to be necessary for tough platformers.

@chrisabowyer @KrazyCaley My problem is that either direction can be swallowed by the other: if "true happiness" is adherence to duty, then utilitarianism demands duty based ethics.

@chrisabowyer @KrazyCaley @AlexanderBlum0 He may be referencing categorical imperative, which doesn't cling to happiness calculation (even if incidentally it does maximize happiness). Agree with idea that happiness maximizing is so common that usually discussions are "what is actual happiness" or "how do we maximize it".
