Yesterday played "Castle Dice" by Luke Peterschmidt with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social - came down to the tie-breaker again. This might be my favorite dice-drafting game - well, except for Troyes ... maybe.

All of us team leaders were scheduled for a 2 PM call ran by the executive team. After a bunch of chit-chat, it finally kicked off 17 minutes late, then ran over BY AN HOUR AND A HALF. The subject of the call? I am 10000% dead serious:

Once on vacation I had to drive an hour to an FBI field office just to find a secure phone to call into a White House meeting. Pete Hegseth is an amateurish mockery to anyone who ever actually took security seriously and needs to go.
