Board games bring me joy, and joy is a protest.
It’s about the memories more than the mechanisms.

I’ve definitely been guilty of buying way too many games at conventions. Interesting video for sure.

“God told me to quit my job.”

Okay but did God also mention loving your neighbors, welcoming immigrants, showing compassion, helping the poor…?? Any of that?

Just a reminder: if you blame victims and support bullies and face consequences such as losing employment due to sharing that opinion, you are NOT a victim yourself.

To quote the philosopher Ice-T: “Congratulations. You played yourself.”

Imagine what it would be like to have an opposition party you actually believed in. I know eventually everything gets corrupted and one day we'd feel bad about the new guys, too. But this feeling that *nobody* is on our side is just crushing.

I wish I could play more games in person but I love having BGA available when that isn’t an option.

If you or your business are on X/Twitter still, this is what you are supporting.
Grok is producing ~6,700 sexually suggestive or nudified images per hour

• Twitter (X) is now the top deepfaking site in the world

• Women who speak out become targets by users

Shane Steichen is 2-10 vs the Texans and Jags.

The Colts have just two postseason appearances with one postseason win in Ballard’s nine seasons as GM.

Why will next season be any different?
Head coach Shane Steichen and GM Chris Ballard will return in 2026, per the Colts.

Woke up with a game idea in my head. Wrote it out in my Notes app.

Tomorrow I’ll make a rough version to test. Hopefully there is something to it.

I predict it will either be a decent game or, more likely, something that only seems like it will work while I’m half asleep at the moment.
