Rian Johnson's The Westing Game

In a 2pp game it’s often a very good strategy. The last time I played at 6pp I played as Saturn Systems and the whole rest of the table united to burn all Jovian cards until the last generation.

The best submissions I could have made here are about @blanksslate.bsky.social relatives so it’s his decision to post those or not

GIRL (gn) IF IT WAS WORTHWHILE I WOULD HAVE KEPT IT UP

Just deleted some posts because I participated in a meme that @jduffyrice.bsky.social immediately stepped in to win. It’s done now.

YOOOOOOOOO

We got to a million by that fall iirc

This is much funnier when you realize I haven’t logged into Facebook since I got married ~6 years ago.

Barely-working actor; self-made toy manufacturing entrepreneur.

It occurs to me that I might be biographically hyperattuned to noticing the difference between class and SES.

You know what’s great? Seeing a friend do their thing and realizing they’re just so intellectually ready for this moment.

This is a @zackbeauchamp.bsky.social praise tweet.

As a novel yes. For this hyperspecific audience naw.

Justice Dept., Under Pressure From Trump, Fails to Build Autopen Case Against Biden

"...Mr. Trump has become increasingly erratic in his desire to use the criminal justice system to punish his political adversaries for behavior that comes nowhere close to being criminal." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/u...

Yeah I agree, especially for Prof. Moynihan

I thought I couldn’t be more excited and then I saw the words “antifa fantasy” on a review and NOPE I AM MORE EXCITED NOW

The truly amazing thing about depression sleep is that you wake up thinking about the opportunity cost of sleeping

As someone who’s played enough to be desensitized to Callisto Penal Mines: salute

I used to be like you. Building a city as a standard project is your BEST FRIEND. Stop letting the belief that standard projects are inefficient get in the way of the fact that there aren’t enough city cards.

In fairness, when I play this as a 4-player game (and even sometimes as a 2-player at home) I often lose because I am the doofus who insists on terraforming Mars rather than collecting victory points some other more efficient way

The moment, 11 generations into Terraforming Mars, when you realize you have only put one tile on the actual planet you are supposed to be actually terraforming

Considered that. Wanted to make sure the temporal dimension wasn’t lost but I think you might be right that that’s better.

Tired: forever war
Wired: foreverandeverywhere war

Yep! Stories that can be written in this way aren’t uncommon. They are bad stories not in reporting but in conception. They are almost always stories that are written because they are assigned by editors.

I bet they thought the world was ending in the past too but it hasn’t yet so we may as well keep going

14 measles cases reported at El Paso ICE tent camp The latest outbreak comes after a spate of COVID-19 and tuberculosis cases were reported at Camp East Montana, which holds more than 3,000 immigrants.

1) Realize folks are on #Texas votes! But @repescobar.bsky.social confirmed 14 measles cases at El Paso ICE camp - an outbreak for the highly infectious disease, per the CDC. In addition to 3K people at camp, 'hundreds of El Pasoans employed there'

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

Should be “they are, too”, derp

This strikes me as squarely a non problem. If someone you’ll never meet again thinks you’re an asshole because you’re an American, you’ll NEVER MEET THEM AGAIN who cares. If it’s someone you’re building a relationship with, guess what? They do, too! They’re incentivized to discard lazy assumptions!

Ooooh this is a very interesting take. Question: do you think transphobia also fits this script?
