Game two on Thursday was 1862 Brothers at War. It went right down to the second last turn. Cool system.

As I'm on the road attending Bottoscon on this week's Live Cardboard date, I'm instead putting up the full video of the interview I did with Terry Simo for the podcast. This also has Terry's screenshares from when he's describing the games he's working on

Nothing like having Canadian newspapers owned by American rightwing hedge funds.

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Agent Lairmore is done with his testimony. Prosecution asked further about the condiments and he said there was mustard on his uniform and an onion hanging on his radio antenna. Don’t think defense was going for a pun when she called him a “seasoned officer,” but you never know…

Is there anyone on earth more obsessed with “manliness” than Jesse Watters?
It’s been over 2 weeks since AOC said Stephen Miller was weak and puny. Fox is still talking about it.
