Update on top board games of 2024: The various top 10 lists from Youtube have slowed to a trickle, which is to say that, according to Youtube, our top 10 games are likely to to be pretty locked in. Congrats to Arcs, Harmonies & SETI, who are the indisputable top 3.

Because 47's wife seemed attracted to Trudeau, and so the country must suffer.

Also because they refuse to become a state, yet Putin needs influence over countries controlling the Arctic shipping routes. (See also Panama)

I really hate the fact that February, which is nastier, has more days than January.

Amid the backdrop that more than a dozen members of Trump's Cabinet are billionaires, a reminder that this is what happened to income inequality in this country once the tax rate for top earners was slashed after 1980. Trickle down does not work and top earners' priority is themselves.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

Your trademarking is entirely legit! Common law TM is just fine. These marks aren't registered, of course, but you can claim them all the same. (IANAL, just an IP-law fan.)

EUROPEAN ROBIN: a precious feather baby, a ruddy sky dumpling, a good friend, will help you find your keys, full of ice cream

AMERICAN ROBIN: big, often wet, surly, has your wallet, killed a rat underneath the bird feeder to make an example to the other animals

Thanks for the informative & interesting reply to my overtly silly assertion. And by the way: it's fascinating that Rusty navigates (if I'm getting this right) by echolocation, using his clicks.

Every court filing in a high-profile case is a document that will likely be viewed by a larger audience than just the judge and opposing parties. And it should be written with that larger audience in mind.

This was. That's not the problem.

The problem is that their larger audience is 4chan.

Cross posting is FINE!
(Are any of us on both platforms, and 100% caught up, and peevish enough to complain about the redundancy?)

Favorite trick-or-treater of the night so far was the little ghost who, when I asked, β€œwhat’s your favorite candy?” said β€œTWO!” and took 2 candy bars 🀣

My favorite candy is also two candies, buddy
