A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Superman (2025) Give me a hero that saves people over one that saves the world any day of the week

My β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Superman on Letterboxd boxd.it/aAVt6Z

What if a good person had power? This feels like the first superhero movie in a while that loves what superheroes are instead of trying to make supers compatible with a modern world or audience.

Eddington is fundamentally about the fraying of shared reality, which is actualized by fans of Eddington and detractors of Eddington having seen two completely different movies

@rascal.news just got the email that my zine is shipped! Would love if y'all wrote something about gaming co-ops, I've wanted to open a game store for forever and recently thought that a co-op would be an amazing way to do it. I can't find anything about co-op game stores, if they exist.

Flip 7 | Play Details | BoardGameGeek

Finally won Flip 7 yesterday, I didn't believe the cover's claim of being the GOAT card game, but it just might be. Have played with 2 to 12 people and it's just as exciting no matter the group.

Wingspan Asia Travel to Asia to discover new birds for your wildlife preserve.

Played Wingspan Asia today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/36...

Borrowed this from a friend to try out. Played the duet mode, felt like it added the right amount of other stuff to the game. Even just the new cards make the expansions so worth it.

SPOILERS

This review also served as a journal entry reflecting on my gender, the first time I've said anything publicly about it. It's not a coming out, because I still don't know what I'm coming out as, but I think I'm closer to figuring it out or accepting that I ultimately won't.

Two Rooms and a Boom Help the president or hunt him down in this social deduction game for 6-30 players.

Played Two Rooms and a Boom 4 times today boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/13...

Was invited to play this and was very excited to find out Sean McCoy of Mothership fame codesigned it. Did not disappoint, the many roles let it work as a modular social deduction game.

A page of text describing fascism, highlighting sentences about fascism organizing proletarian masses, denying them rights, and providing a chance to express themselves, while discussing property rights and aesthetics in political life.

A page of text describing fascism, highlighting sentences about fascism organizing proletarian masses, denying them rights, and providing a chance to express themselves, while discussing property rights and aesthetics in political life.

Walter Benjamin writing about fascism in 1936

"Fascism attempts to organize the newly proletarianized masses without affecting the property structure which the masses strive to eliminate. Fascism sees its salvation in giving these masses not their right, but instead a chance to express themselves."

Would appreciate feedback from anyone! I was tempted to use AI to generate possible names, but decided to give it a try myself and reach out to the community. If anyone has any changelog or design templates for Google Sheets, that would also be sweet.

Mothership BFB Hack

I've started a very rudimentary outline in my Google Drive, right now just trying to think of renaming the BFB prompts. I'd like to add more sci-fi and horror elements, maybe through a joker mechanic or the rivals system.
