#Substack openly platforms—and profits from—#Nazis. And not just nudge-nudge-wink-wink types of Nazis, but literal black-swastika “NatSoc” Nazis. And they recommend Nazi writers.

If you are still on Substack either as a reader or publisher, please seriously consider leaving the platform. It’s a Nazi bar. You don’t want to give them your money or your attention. I hear ghost dot org is a great, Nazi-free alternative.

“If this is not stopped right here, right now, I don't think anybody who is seriously looking at this problem can have much faith in how our republic is going to go in the future.”

Unfortunately for me, they played right next to it. Still, I think the 76 points for this was worth the swap—it also prevented them from playing off of this!

Now, #Crossplay lets you preview plays while your opponent is taking their turn. If I can make this next play, it’ll be for 96 points.

Just had the big brain play of my life in #Crossplay. My opponent played QUILL in the bottom-left one space above a triple word score. I don’t have an S. But I check the bag and sure enough, there’s one S left in the game.

I don’t know if my opponent has the S but I know my best chance is to get 7 tries to get it out of the bag. So I swap all of my tiles.

Jackpot.

Just pushed the button to launch a new Kickstarter for Iconfactory!

We want to make Ollie's Arcade entirely free and add at least one more game to it. (Really, I'd like to add a lot more games to it if we can raise the funds!)

I got a 3D printer and it’s great. You can print so many things—like parts and accessories for your 3D printer!

I spent a lot of time in the 90s working on Y2K. It wasn't a huge panic. It was just a slice out of everything else we spent auditing code. It wasn't "spend 80 hours a week fixing this." It was just boring. Incredibly boring. And we made it be ok by being bored and fixing stuff.

And the one thing I never thought would happen was that people would say it was never a problem. Oh good grief, it was a problem. All over. We just fixed it. Like we thought grownups should do when there's a problem.
