Silver linings: Better balance, safer life

I often ride my bike down a steep hill called Foremaster Ridge before accessing biking trails along the Virgin River. Usually, I’m in a controlled descent, pumping my brakes frequently. But it was raining lightly a few weeks ago and I was in a hurry. I let off the brakes so I could get to the bike trail sooner.

Big mistake. At the bottom of the hill, there’s a slight lip before getting onto the…

The politics of beagles

In 1954, Time magazine published a short article about the University of Utah using beagles in research to determine the dangers of radioactive material over a lifetime.

At a kennel dubbed “Beagleville,” 450 dogs had been injected with graduated amounts of radioactive material, including plutonium and radium. “These elements accumulate in the bones and bombard tender cells with damaging alpha…

Trump, the Wages of MAGA Sin, and the Dream of Flipping Texas Blue

Only moments after Ken Paxton clinched the GOP nomination in the Texas Senate race on Tuesday, he quickly signaled his intention to run a lofty, issue-focused campaign. By way of characterizing Democratic opponent James Talarico as woke, as a leftist, and—perhaps worst of all in Texas—as a vegan, Paxton derided his foe as “James Talafreako,” “tofu Talarico,” and “six-gender Jimmy.”

This drew…

Ashley St. Clair is on an apology tour. The trans community owes her nothing

Ashley St. Clair spent years helping feed one of the ugliest political and cultural movements in modern American life. She built influence inside a media ecosystem that turned transgender people into content, into outrage bait, into algorithmic chum for clicks, engagement, applause, punchlines, money, and power. She wrote a children’s book mocking trans identity. She publicly aligned herself…

The AI that cracked Apple Silicon is only the beginning

A security research team just used Claude Mythos to identify the first known exploit in Apple’s M5 chip. They needed physical access to the device to use it, the vulnerability has since been patched, and I don’t think it should be seen as a huge threat. But it is a stark warning that in this AI age, attackers can find and exploit system vulnerabilities at a dangerously fast rate.

While widely…

#373: Serious hat

Hello! Hit Points has been a bit quiet of late; my humble apologies for that. I am finally emerging, bedraggled and frayed, from the busiest few weeks of all my years in game consulting. There has simply been no time for newsletters. There has been very little time for anything, to be honest, apart from hammering my way through a bunch of unfinished games and writing several thousand largely…

Winning Blind Cruel Inept Nationalism, Also Cultism

Hoo boy. The stupid and evil, somehow accelerating, burn. America's so-called leader, the "Worst That Has Ever Drawn Breath," manifests ever more cognitive dissonance on steroids. Absurd, addled, vindictive, looming above "a circus of death and chaos," he commits war crimes, guts voting rights, plots devastation, abases decency, murders mercy, yet whines about mean jokes. But as America…

Opinion: A bruising conspiracy

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday targeted President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump again, suggesting that the president’s hands are bruised “from Melania swatting them away.”

While there is plenty of fodder for comedy in the political world these days, can we please stop with the jokes about the president’s hands? I ask on behalf of the Silent Generation, and every baby boomer who…
