May's data. More than April, less than the other months. Ausonia got a lot of table time, which I'm happy about. #bgstats #bgg #boardgames

Not much done in April, but one win with Unsettled. The table is clear now, so hopefully a more productive May. #bgstats #boardgames #bgg

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

It's a couple of days early, but I'm doing ok for my annual gaming goals, except for "first plays". I have a plan there, though. It's not a good plan, but it's a plan.

The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

The bigger question we should be asking is: Why are Trump officials using Signal for their communications instead of formal, traceable channels?

The answer seems clear — to avoid transparency.

JD Vance claimed on X that “Slava Ukraini” protesters followed him & shouted at his daughter.

Guess he didn’t realize it was caught on camera. No one yelled at his kid, and they didn’t follow them.

Vance & Musk need to quit using children as shields. The public isn’t backing down—we want answers.

I NEED GOOD, THOUGHTFUL LEADERS TO GET WAY BETTER AT USING THE INTERNET LIKE FIVE YEARS AGO

I just finished Hero of Ages and thought it was great. Now back to The Two Towers.

Mapped: The U.S. State that Each Country Trades With the Most This map identifies the biggest U.S. export markets by state, showing the top partner of each country by value of goods imported.

According to visualcapitalist.com, ~41% of Texas exports just got more expensive in Canada and Mexico, reducing sales as they find alternatives or reduce use... just like we will have to do.

Let me know if I did that wrong.

Pete is exactly right. Focus less on be shocked and outraged and more on finding positive ways to organize in your community to fight back.
