Fantastic punk show at Vera Project last night. Great sets from all three bands: Subhumans, 1876, and the Disorderlies. 1876 in particular brought the fire. They are a Native American band from Portland who call their music pow wow punk. I hadn’t seen them before but definitely will again.

Here’s hoping I wake up tomorrow to news of sex pest scumbag Andrew Cuomo’s humiliating defeat. Get it done, New Yorkers!

This is just reporting. This is what headlines in the New York Times and your local paper should look like every day. The New Yorker should be publishing stuff like this, only with an umlaut thrown in occasionally for some fucken reason.

It’s been raining all day here (because Seattle). I girded up for the weather and took my daily walk around 5 pm. Unsurprisingly, I did not see a single trick or treater.

I'd never read a Brandon Sanderson book before last week, but my friend Brian wanted to give the RPG a spin so I read the first book in the Stormlight Archive, the Way of Kings. We played the intro adventure this morning and it was interesting.

After enduring the dentist, I decided to treat myself to a khachapuri at Skalka. It’s been a year or two since I last stopped in. I typically get just cheese and gooey eggs but I tried the vegetable today and it was on point. Properly cooked eggplant for the win.

Star Blazers, as the series was called in America, was essential afternoon viewing for young Chris in the early 80s. When I was in Tokyo last year, I figured it'd be easy to find Yamato merch, but not so. Finally found a shop in Akihabara with two ship models from the 80s and scooped those up.
Leiji Matsumoto's Space Battleship Yamato, one of the most influential anime series ever, started 51 years ago today.
"In the year 2199, the space battleship Yamato embarks on a voyage to the planet Iscandar, to retrieve a device that will rejuvenate a war-ravaged Earth."

Last night I played Lion Rampant, a historical minis game from Osprey. It was touch and go for a while but my Normans pulled out a win. The new edition of the fantasy version, Dragon Rampant, comes out later this month.

The biggest bank in America is trying to steal thousands of our books. The richest man in the world destroyed one of our main marketing venues by turning it into a Nazi site. The rapist-in-chief is shitting on small businesses and wrecking the economy with stupid tariffs and fascism. Fuck the 1%.

This is what I was doing on this day in 1986. The show was at TT the Bear's Place in Cambridge, MA, where I saw many great shows in that era. Jerry’s Kids had been broken up when I got into punk, so I was psyched to see them. This was their first show after reforming and they killed.

Two time Republican president Dwight Eisenhower was such an anti-fascist that he was the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force that comprehensively defeated the Nazis in the West. You think he'd have stood for Nazi flags at Republican rallies or quislings like Stephen Miller? Please.

Rick and I took Battle of Hoth for a spin last night. It's Memoir '44 in spaaaaace, so if you've played that (or any Command & Colors game), you can jump right into the campaign. The biggest difference is that each side has its own command deck (in Memoir both players draw from the same deck).

The reader of this audio book pronounces courtyard courtyurd and it's really distracting. You wouldn't think courtyard would pop up all that often but one of the major locations is a big castle with many "courtyurds."
