Sharice Davids could be the first Native American woman in Congress
In an interview with 50 States of Blue, Kansas candidate Sharice Davids said that overcoming “firsts” such as being the first Native American woman in Congress “depends on us creating more opportunities.”
Sharice Davids is running to be the first Native American woman to hold congressional office. As the Democratic candidate for Kansas’s 3rd District, she’s up against a career politician who is funded by the NRA and other corporate interests.

Share Tweet Submit Pin
What do you think of when you hear the name Eugene Mirman?
The stand-up comic has a host of specials/albums, but has also found mainstream success by voicing Gene Belcher on Fox’s Bob’s Burgers and Cecil Tunt on FX’s Archer. He’s also the guy behind The Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival which ran for ten years, as well as characters on Flight of the Conchords TV series, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and even the main (non-masked) character on Delocated.

How An Evil Artificial Intelligence And A Team Of Nerds Make Impossible Booze In LA’s Spookiest Distillery
Sponsored
In 2013, Wynn Sanders was working with a few friends at a small distillery in Northern California. Sanders, the sort of lab scientist that central casting would send you if you asked for a “lab scientist type”, was trying to crack the code of how to age liquor without some of the fundamental requirements of that process. The distillery he and his friends had opened for under $75,000 (which is not enough to open a distillery unless you are making some serious DIY short-cuts) was not ...

'I can't stand broken systems': Game dev Elizabeth Sampat on being a 'Loudmouth'
Things aren’t getting better. That’s not an optimistic thought to share, but the state of the games industry (which is reflective of the politics of the world at large) is in a brutal, regressive limbo right now. Sentiments like “It Gets Better,” no matter their original context, seem to be dead-end placations of dealing with what progress is currently up against. There’s a real need for firebrands with both the determination and intelligence required to shake things up. Not for the pure sake...

Interview: David Arnold (Hot Fuzz)
The number of film soundtracking heroes you can maintain under Danny Elfman is very limited. The folks that work across multiple forms and functions top out around 20 big names — at least when it comes to active, modern, hero types. Within that, only a few apply across the board as top flight. Da...

Interview: Garry Schyman
Garry Schyman is one of gaming’s all-time great composers.
The man behind the music throughout the entire Bioshock series is also the guy who, moreso than many others in game music, has overseen the soundscapes of franchises from start to finish. After getting a start in games, perhaps too early, Schyman departed this work until the technology could accommodate his scope. Since then, it’s been a barrage of awards and BAFTA nominations, along with an escalating series of high profile projects....
