Since my 1000th post yesterday talked about how much I love writing and especially being funny, how about one of my humorous posts from earlier this year? Hope it cracks you up as it did me. :) @garphillgames.bsky.social dudetakeyourturn.ca/2024/12/09/w...

What a powerful review from Dan. This is what board game criticism should be.

Ugh. I also love me some "alternative" (for lack of a better word) archaeological theories and such, but this would put me off just as much as it did you.

Looks like a horned demon that has had just too much of today and is lounging on a kitchen chair

This was a really intriguing game that I'd love to play again (though I have no idea how the solo is)

I'm sure it's not on the list (I haven't looked), but I'm still very partial to On-Lok on Hastings. I love their food.

What, not Knizia? :) Love Barcelona and Rock Hard's art, so this is intriguing

Really looking forward to this!

I mostly write positive reviews, and a couple of negative, but the one "meh" game review probably took me the longest. If you're criticizing a game, you have a lot of things to say. Same if you're praising it.

But how do you go on at length to say a game is just ok?

“Jimi would play Risk on acid, and I never—and me personally—ever beat him at all. He was unbelievable at it. He was a military man, you know, he’s a paratrooper, and I don’t know whether you know that about Jimi, but no one ever beat him at Risk.” -Graham Nash

The Trump administration is a fascist administration, but the United States is not yet a fascist state.

Total state capture takes time. Every obstacle we can present as individuals, groups, communities, and institutions helps slow that process.

Everything we do to resist matters. It ALL matters.

good headline, @newrepublic.com

Thank you!

1000 Posts and Counting This blog started back in March 2017 and has been a going concern (sometimes very concerned!) for over 8 years now. As my mental health has changed and my motivation has lagged sometimes, the post count has gone up and down, but I've consistently done about 110 posts a year (not counting some low years but also not counting a huge year last year of 160 posts, which I have no idea how that happened).

Good to see @theatlantic.com going full bore on how Trump wants (and will try to get) a 3rd term and also mess with the 2026 election. Frightening reading, but very important. (I'd gift an article but for some reason the site's not letting me)

Things are so mean-spirited right now, this made me tear up. In the gratuitously cruel age of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Mike Johnson, it's comforting to be reminded that there still are decent human beings that walk amongst us. Thank you, Heretic Coffee in Portland.

Love Spring Cleaning!!! Great game.

Dying on Strings – Final Girl – Carnage at the Carnival Review As a kid, I was never really that fond of puppets. It's not that they creeped me out, necessarily. They weren't like clowns. I just never really went to puppet shows to be entertained, and Pinocchio was not one of my favourite Disney cartoons. If I had played Final Girl - Carnage at the Carnival, however, they would have had me hiding under my covers almost day and night.

You may not *need* a political science degree to understand why having billionaires fund the US military is a bad idea, but I *do* have a political science degree and would like to underscore *how* bad of an idea it is.

@theatlantic.com I submitted a Support ticket email about this a couple of weeks ago but haven't heard anything back.

For some reason, I am unable to share articles as gifts even though I am a full subscriber and used to have that ability. Is there some way this could be looked into or explained?
