It's here! We wanted to make a fun scrolling interface for DOOM levels, and call it DOOMSCROLLER. doomscroll.cx is now live! @johnromero.bsky.social

doomscroll.cxDoomScroll — Browse, Preview, and Play Thousands of User-Made Doom WADsEndlessly scroll through decades of user-made Doom maps. Preview and play WADs instantly in your browser.

Every year another Doom birthday rolls by and reminds me of the same thing: I never actually launched the project I started five years ago with @textfiles.com Today, I finally fix that.

I get such weird whiplash from reading about straightforward fascism like this online, then interacting with colleagues in real life who seem so wilfully ignorant to all of it and are looking forward to attending an American conference next week or doing a fellowship in the US.

To put this into context, the judicial warrant for the search at the Hyundai plant named just four people. Relying on that warrant, ICE detained nearly 500 people. DHS admitted that included U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and people lawfully here on visas.

It helps to hear individual stories rather than DOGE apparatchiks referring to abstract “money saving cuts”. Thousands of small tragedies like this – check out the thread – really feel for the guy and his team. I hope many affected academics are able to relocate to more forward thinking countries

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University & academic career... 1/🧵

Flu is doing an absolute number on the NHS. Friends, you know I’m quite an understated non-sensationalist person but hospitals are truly in an awful state. Normal activity is being cancelled just to try to get on top of things. I’m really sorry to all who are not getting the service they deserve.
