Haha fair enough. Sea stories have always walked that fine line between fiction and nonfiction, but obviously please do not incriminate yourself.

Back Marceline up if (when) the BGG trolls come out!

CGE made a mistake, and they can listen to trans leaders like Marceline about how to make it right. But until they do, #BlacklistCGE

Having read the post, I am SO CURIOUS to read a post about your time with the wooden WWII commune boat.

Read this now, read Moby Dick next, then book a trip to Mystic. You’ll regret none of it (except maybe that middle watch section of the book).

Beetroot RELISH is a revelation! I love making pickled beets but you can only have pickled beets so many times. Going the relish or even chutney route sounds amazing

Call Me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the board gamey part of the world.

If you've read my "Rulebooks for Radicals" zine, you'll note some similarities (beyond just the use of Impact Label font) and some differences -- this talk was crucial in working through the ideas that became the backbone of that piece. gregisonthego.itch.io/rulebooks-fo...

I took a first-year seminar that was structured around food cultures, taught by this incredible German prof who was one of the main organizers of Philly Slow Food. We ate & drank SO MUCH good stuff as part of that class, and I credit it at least in part with my decision to go into specialty coffee.

Most experts acknowledge that a takeover by artificial intelligence is coming for the video game industry within the next five years, and executives have already started preparing to restructure their companies in anticipation.
After all, it was one of the first sectors to deploy A.I. programming in the 1980s, with the four ghosts who chase Pac-Man each responding differently to the player's real-time movements.

If you're in Central PA and missed the first session, I'm running another one! Come play the political matrix game that my students and I designed and fill out a survey.

This one is on a weeknight evening to accommodate more schedules. I will once again have snacks!
