I'm losing my mind. How does Trump pardoning Adams make the prosecutors job easier? They don't have to obtain leave of the court (which they would easily get if it's an agreed dismissal?) that's zero effort.

It's also still troubling that nobody is allowed to suggest (read: question) the president

I fail to see how this rebuts the damning footnote about advocation for quid pro quo at all.

It doesnt address the quid pro quo at all, and the reason he didn't want notes is because... they may leak? Am I supposed to think this is a standard assumption and not just a pretext for hiding the crime?

However big Sassoon's resignation is, I think Emil Bove's letter accepting it is a way bigger deal.

"You have lost sight of your oath... By suggesting that you retain discretion to interpret the constitution in a manner inconsistent with the policies of a democratically elected president"

This was my girlfriend's top songs this year lol

The attempts to be "fair" to the trump administration are already happening and are already swinging way too far.

One of the games I picked up at the Con flea market was Anachrony! Finally got a chance to try it out and I get why it's so highly rated. The theme is great, the time travel mechanic is fun, there's a lot of variation. It's a top tier worker placement game.

Wonderful news, but I still want that ethics report.

We'll see who the next pick is. Kenneth Chesebro?

Man so much of conservative/libertarian critique is just the inability to fathom interesting questions and relationships. Just old men furrowing their brow at possible topics and saying "no, it can't be!"

Another game I got to play at #kublacon was Kanban EV!

A fantastic board game I think. Vital lacerda makes some of the best heavy euro-style games, I love them all.

This one is about designing, prototyping, and upgrading cars. Just make sure Sandra is happy!

I assume jokes about the death of people aren't allowed on Bluesky.

Picture and link to a terrible article is unrelated.

In addition to being awesome and playing tons of board games with me, my partner makes jewelry!

Next game I played at #kublacon was hegemony!

Immensely fun game about class warfare, which is both hilarious and too real. Each player has a different set of goals, from working class trying to increase prosperity via healthcare to the capitalists trying to... Make infinite money

Next board game I played at the Con was Weather Machine.

Huge game about stopping extreme weather by researching and experimenting in a steampunk lab. I love vital lacerda games, but this one might be below kanban and on Mars for me. Still liked it a lot!

Just got back from KublaCon this last weekend, and got to try out a bunch of games! I'll be posting thoughts on them here.

First one was a small one called "the crew" while my group waited for the last person to get there.

@davflamerock.bsky.social it's always nice seeing developers of my favorite games (SWU has been a blast!) also have the best politics.
