What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Help needed for a name for a possible 2025 game...
Which do you prefer?
1. Clay It Again!
2. Ready, Steady, Sculpt!
Just a straight up 1/2 answer is great, but if you want to say anything else you're welcome to.
Thanks in advance!

There are just no words for how bad Southampton are this season. It always seemed highly likely they'd be relegated given how awful their defensive record was last season, but this is truly woeful.
If Martin stays I think they'll hit the lowest ever points tally.

I had a dream last night that United went 1-0 down to City and then Amad got 2 right at the death and we won it 2-1
Now, I'm not saying that this was defintely a premonition but, this was almost certainly a premonition

One final ask as we close our 1st year in business - if you're looking for an Xmas game or a super fun little present, would you consider our games at Party Snail?
They're super fun (check the reviews!), easily portable and colourfully designed.
You'll love it - and I'll appreciate it!

Can anyone recommend a decent football pub near Marylebone Station? Ideally somewhere I could grab a table with a friend and chat whilst watching the game...

Can highly recommend Dave’s “Jungle Hustle” game, and looking forward to playing this new game over Christmas too.
Really great family games from an up and coming new business 👍

I'm running a charity fundraiser in December... Low effort for them - but I'd love more charities to partner with!
Long story short - £5 from every £13 game sold to your supporters goes to your charity...
They get Xmas pressies, charity gets £

Just any fyi, if you want to help a mutual get their news, message, or just a cute thing out into the bluesky, reshare them. Hearting them doesn't do this because there is no algorithm here. Get into the habit of reposting to boost others.

Our new game, Ninja Hamster Apocalypse Disco, pre-launches to our mailing list only next Tuesday (woohoo!) before general release the week after.
It's been a rollercoaster, but finishing off promo bits (draft snippet below) and I genuinely couldn't feel more excited about it.
Roll on Tuesday!

OK - question for you... Who are your favourite companies right now, that people mostly won't have heard of?
People doing things brilliantly, or ethically, or with a story? Companies that deserve more love.
