There's the 1-px side subpixel font named Millitext and a 3px-wide subpixel font that passes as type, but sticking with full pixels makes legibility tough at tiny sizes. Jason Kottke's Silkscreen is exemplary at 4×5. Making a gruesome 3×3 font is a kind of ritual for pixel...
I discovered arcades when I was about 7 or 8 years old and got to enjoy the late '80s renaissance, such as it was, driven by spectacular new hardware and more thoughtful game design. My local haunts were in Worthing, England—the New Amusements on the pier (latest and...
Florida sent workers in the night to paint over the Pride stripes of the memorial crosswalk outside the Pulse gay nightclub, where 49 revelers were murdered in a 2016 mass shooting. The Trump adminstration has demanded the removal of all such LGBTQ+ symbolism by local...

What if California stopped sending its tax money to Washington? What if Massachusetts refused to let federal agents use state databases? What if blue states with the biggest economies just said 'no' to a federal government they don't trust? These aren't hypothetical...
Congratulations MAGA, you've successfully bullied an honor student into giving up on her dreams. As reported in WFAE, Allison Bustillo-Chinchilla — nursing student, scholarship recipient, and apparently grave threat to national security — has chosen 'voluntary' removal...
A Washington grand jury has tossed out the felony-assault case against Sean Dunn — the 37-year-old ex-Justice Department paralegal who threw a sandwich at a federal officer on August 10 — delivering a rare public setback to the Trump administration's military takeover of ...
