This is a few years old, so if you’re into game design, you might have seen it already. But it’s such a simple, perfect explanation of the challenges and efforts that go into game design.

The bestest and funniest summary of the Trump-Biden-Ukraine controversy I’ve seen. Trump is like teflon, nothing sticks. I don’t have high hopes for actual impeachment, but military-aid-for-digging-up-dirt-on-Biden is as simple as it gets. Everyone, even the GOP, should understand that this is corruption for personal gain. Drumpf!

Now, here’s another, more serious, take on the Ukraine situation. By a law professor who literally wrote the book on impeachment.

And the latest news is really damning. At least from a legal perspective.

Continuing with US politics. Warren would be a great president. I’m just not sure that the US voting populace (with warts and all) is ready for a rational, smart woman who “has a plan for that!” On the other hand, if Sanders is out of the race (?), Warren should have a really good chance of getting the democratic nomination.

If it wasn’t so important for the world, I’d bunker up with popcorn and enjoy the show.

Last comment (for now) on US politics. Here’s the right move to counter Trump’s swaggering: ridicule him. I wonder if Warren can stoop this low without coming across as mean. After all, we shouldn’t make fun of the mentally impaired.

On to something completely else. This is another (small) proof-point of the ongoing AI revolution. A great, free resource if you ever need a face for mockups or marketing materials.

Many important takes on climate change in a recent issue, and planting trees is definitely one of the efforts that most people (not least politicians) could easily understand. The world should rally around this and just make it happen. What can you do? Well, for example, donate to the International Tree Foundation. I just did.

Founder of kids gaming powerhouse Toca Boca, Björn Jeffery, has written a great piece on how to think about screen time. It’s something that certainly every parent has struggled with at times. Björn’s essay should be mandatory reading, at least if you have non-adult kids, or ever voiced an opinion on modern-day child-rearing. (I’m looking at you, yes you! ;)
