Historical reality, happily, isn't constrained by the same standards of likelihood that apply to fiction. Where I live, No Kings Day demonstrations are about to coincide with the observation of Kamehameha I Day, celebrating the Hawaiian monarchy, and the two events originate at the same location.

The stepping stones across the Kamo / Takano rivers in Kyoto is probably my favorite place in the city.

Entering Game Market is interesting. You exchange your ticket for a wrist band and then gather as a large mass in this central hallway. At opening time, everyone raises their arm to show their wrist band and enters simultaneously.

At SeaTac waiting to board a flight to Tokyo and the live act is playing Four Dead in Ohio. Made me think about the lack of protest songs for our current situation.

I never thought this would happen... I entered the top 100 wargames on @boardgamegeek.com with Gest. Thanks so much to @joedewhurst.bsky.social for helping me make this game actually good, Chechu and Robert for making it look awesome, and @gmtgames.bsky.social for believing in me.

The state of Utah voted to ban pride flags so Salt Lake City Council decided to make official city flags that incorporate the progress pride, Juneteenth, and transgender flags so they can fly them without breaking state law
