I don't think anyone who's salivating at the prospect of mass political violence or civil war has the foggiest idea of how bad these things are in real life. It's beyond their memory and their imagination.

I just completed a certificate in wargaming from MORS! I learned a lot about professional & recreational game design this past week; I'm struck by how many spicy opportunities there are for analyzing wargames through an embodied cognition/economics lens. 10/10 recommend.

We've had the Long Parliament, the Rump Parliament, and even an Useless Parliament. But if this parliament goes down in history, it will be as the Death Parliament. My write-up of this afternoon for UnHerd. unherd.com/newsroom/ass...

I can't describe the rage I felt this morning at seeing the words "feed me" sprayed on the National Holocaust Museum back home... The spike in violent antisemitism across Canada this past year has been absolutely shocking; I thought we were better than this.
