Hey gamedevs! GDC has opened up their call for submissions for core concepts (summits are later). I'm on the advisory board for design so really want to encourage people to submit. Give us some cool talk proposals!

I dunno, it seems relevant that last month Clooney begged the White House to not sanction his wife over her participation in the ICC case against Israel. But that would soften the criticism and place it into context, which editor Kathleen Kingsbury simply does not consider part of her ethical duty.

Seven times between 1801 and 1869 Congress changed the size of the court, going from a low of five justices in 1801 to a high of ten in 1863. In most of those cases, as in 1801 and 1863, the size went up and down in order to fix an imbalance or overreach by the Supreme Court. My latest

During Trump's entire time in office there were no editorials from NYT demanding he resign, after everything he did. They only write such editorials if they think they can draw blood. They didn't want to look stupid, so didn't bother. It's not about doing the right thing. It's only about THEM.

Lots of progress today. Built a stand for the helmets, a macgyverd spray paint with hanging hooks. Got another coat of bondo acetone on the pauldrons and was able to get the faceplates in their first coat of primer filler. They will probably get another coat then wet sanding.
