Getting ready to put these together before they get sent out! Let’s remember that embracing mistakes is fine, if it doesn’t affect your 🎲✂️ goals. Chances are, I’m the only one that will notice. Except the one card that is actually jacked up

With the highest of respect for folks creating and playing them, but I cannot be the only one kinda disheartened that the common conception of "cozy" games is so focused on cleaning, cooking, building, repairing, and interior design. If it's a task my ADHD is avoiding IRL, its not cozy. It's a job.

What would it take for a crowd to be able to enter and empty an ICE concentration camp? If it happened in one place, would it happen in another? How many would have to be emptied before the regime collapsed?

Billionaire tech bros who see this will decry the “over-the-top stereotypes” in Mountainhead. We normies who have seen it suspect that, no matter how absurdly over-the-top, it is a quasi-documentary that is STILL far too kind in its portrayal of these insufferable pricks.

Well, the Going Into Business Sale was a marvelous success. Bugs were uncovered, but only minor ones. More importantly, 70 games were sold. That's great. I was fearing zero, hoping for 20, fantasizing about 50. That's $70 for The Network/La Red (www.tnlr.org). #boardgames

Doing Cybersecurity training: Is this humanoid actually a paid person or some transmogrified bits and pixels? Wait! They're claiming it's part of the training to grasp that they're just pixels. All this while talking about social engineering. Is pixels and bits all the way down?

This is the uncropped version of the famous “tank man” photo from June 4, 1989. Almost half of the Chinese population was born after this event. Later that year, Austria permitted East Germans holidaying in Hungary to drive over its border. The Berlin Wall fell in October. Quite a year.

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote.

A win! The Trump administration is backing off its demand that states hand over personal data on SNAP recipients after a lawsuit. In a sworn statement filed in federal court, the USDA said it is pausing its plan to build a national database of Americans receiving food assistance.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride. So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels. They opened the drawbridge to block them. So they marched to a different bridge. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

My fellow dehydrated noodles, If drinking liquid isn't possible today for whatever reason, you can always eat your hydration. Fresh fruit, veggies, smoothie bowls, shakes, popsicles, etc all count. If your brain is fighting you, fight back by changing up the form factor.

Please respect the decisions of those who’ve chosen to leave ICE. Many federal employees want no part in this. The Trump administration is deliberately pushing people out forcing them to choose between their jobs and their conscience.

Making cooperative games shouldn’t need to be subversive. Gathering sticks… Exploring the oceans… Building zoos… Conducting experiments… Planting things… Arranging colors… Collecting numbers… Stacking cubes… Terraforming… Sequencing cats… Inventing… …not competitive unless you’re an asshole. 🎲 ✂️

Them: I assume you know a lot of people who’ve been bitten by cats. Me: No? My experience is that if you understand the concept of consent and know how to read cat body language, it’s rare to get bitten. Except maybe if you’re a vet. Them: <tells story of toddler child getting bit>
