Not quite what you describe, but Strategy by @ldfreedman.bsky.social approaches it, without the RPGs. I bought it expecting his insights into military strategy, but it treats a much wider range of "strategic" interactions, including the Civil Rights Movement. Thought-provoking and entertaining.

After Epstein sent an image, which cannot be seen in the record, LajčÑk replies: "Why don't you invite me for these games? I would take the 'MI' girl".

"Who wouldn't," Epstein texts back. "You can have them both, I am not possessive. And their sisters."

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.

It is 2020. R’s subscribe to the Qanon conspiracy theory as a worst-case scenario of elite corruption and domination.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

I've seen videos of the indiscriminate use of tear gas on a large crowd that was clearly peaceful and filled with Portlanders of all ages, and well off the macadam facility. We banned tear gas for a reason. I join Councilor Green in calling for enforcement of our laws.

It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

the civil rights movement did not win by awakening the secret virtue of Southern whites by appealing to their better nature. it won by producing a demonstration of their brutality Northerners could not ignore

many people are going to be tempted to say this proves the weakness of peaceful protest. this is incorrect because it assumes this happening is a failure of peaceful protest rather than the mechanism by which it succeeds

one of the key motions of protest is that it places the adversary in zugzwang: either they abide the protest, and look weak, or attack the protest, and look cruel

Five-year-old deported to Honduras despite being US citizen is latest child victim of Trump crackdown Mother whose visa application was pending says she will send girl back to US soon accompanied by another relative

A judge ordered that 5 year old Liam Ramos be released from ICE custody.

I hope they let him out.

I hope they give him his back pack and bunny hat.

But let’s not forget they sent a 5 year old girl to Honduras without due process.

She’s a US citizen and they disappeared her.

Most of Epstein’s victims were either too frightened to come forward, or silenced through legal threats. Oh, and here’s a senior British politician giving Epstein tips on how to silence them

If he does this, and isn't impeached and removed, it's a Rubicon moment where we are no longer a republic. Sorry, I don't care how much Republicans like his policies or fear his wrath, you can't just let a president cut checks to himself from the Treasury.

If I actually wanted to spend my time partying with young women, it would be trivial for me to do so without the help of a creepy loser like Epstein and I would still have 99% of my mind available to think about other things.

"I can be a pedophile all on my own" is not the flex he thinks it is.
