See what can be done with a little bit of political will and some imagination?
I have no idea if this can or will work, but I think it's absolutely the thing to try.

@bgstatsapp.bsky.social Maybe the Board Game Stats app already has, but is there any statistics that I can learn about my board game collection? For example, count of games with worker placement, or nett worth of collection, or nett game time of collection based off 1 play of each game.

Twiggy Forrest says 'net zero' is a "f---ing con".
He wants Fortescue to reach what he calls “real zero” by 2040 – where fossil fuels are no longer used because there are better alternatives.
“I believe net zero is a f---ing con,” he says. “Real zero is serious. Just stop burning fossil fuel.”’

I did my first bit of volunteering last Saturday for the Greens 💚 in the lead up to the WA Election. Everybody I met there was lovely and respectful. It was a great experience that restored my faith in people. If you are in Western Australia, don't forget to vote by this Saturday 8/03 😊

Dutton's property investments... A reminder, on this property he made $3,675,000. But because you get a 50% discount on capital gains, he only had to pay tax on $1,837,500.
That tax discount each year costs around $22bn - of which $18bn goes to the richest 10%

Joined over 500 folks in Palo Alto (including Joan Baez!) and over a hundred in Sunnyvale to protest Musk and Trump's illegal dismantling of our government.
Keep calling, keep protesting, keep the pressure on.

All set up to try my first 18XX game, with Shikoku 1889. I'm feeling particularly nerdy playing a game with actual spreadsheets 😅 I can't wait! 😄
