Cozy Stickerville just overtook Star Wars Rebellion as my highest rated game on BoardGameGeek (8.439 vs 8.421)! There's only 200 ratings so far, so it's overall rank is lower (for now).
Thanks to everyone who played and rated it. I never expected it to be this hot.

Creative people: think of your favorite book, game, or song. Someone in the world HATES it with a burning passion. Does this make you love it less? No. If anything you love it more.

People can have different political opinions about immigration policy. Political differences are fine, healthy for a democracy.
But if you’re okay with this, that’s not a political opinion. That is a moral failing.

And what awaits these clients in Texas? Unspeakably cruel and inhumane treatment.
1. Rotten food. I had a client explain she had to make a half-pint of milk and an apple last every day because the other meals consisted of spoiled or rotten food. One client wasn’t fed for >36 hours.

Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it.
The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after.
I’ve had a front row seat.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

America is broken. Disappearing citizens. Children in concentration camps. A pedophile white supremacist running the country. I’m so angry, and that’s just 3 of the 100 terrible things going on. Yet none of these things are the top news story in America. Our media has failed us.

Hot take, but no one should be using ChatGPT and any AI products in general.
OpenAI president Greg Brockman and his wife donated $25 million to MAGA Inc in 2025.
