Got to speak to Bruno Cathala about Bella Vista, didn't I? thegenerationsgames.substack.com/p/bella-vist...

There were quite a lot of us who, for several years, warned that voting for this version of the Labour party would create the conditions for enabling fascism. And here we are. Hate to say we told you so. But we told you so.

YES YOU DO, YOU DO ACTUALLY DO THAT, ESPECIALLY ON LONG FLIGHTS. CHANGING PILOTS DURING A FLIGHT IS A THING THAT REGULARLY HAPPENS, DAVID

I feel like small matters such as “selling off most of the things that help governments to make themselves useful, out of pure hardcore ideological conviction” and “a pathological loathing for investment in services and infrastructure” may also have contributed

Voting Green isn’t “splitting the left vote” coz a) Labour is behind the Greens in polling and b) Labour hasn’t been a leftwing party in several years.

Us, sobbing: please grandad, stop telling everyone that you believe you brought your imaginary girlfriend to life Richard Dawkins: INFLATABLE INGRID AND I ARE VERY MUCH IN LOVE, SHE WANTS YOU TO CALL HER "INFLATABLE NANNA"

This is why I take what I read with a grain of salt & just ask, “Which party will redistribute wealth downward most aggressively?” & vote for them no matter what. Who’s telling me not to, A NEWSPAPER OWNER? Fuck those cunts.

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party . Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.

NIGEL FARAGE'S SUPPORTERS ARE SHOWING UP AT GREEN RALLIES DOING NAZI SALUTES. 382472343 OF NIGEL FARAGE'S EX-SCHOOLMATES SAID HE MADE GAS CHAMBER NOISES AT JEWISH KIDS. ALL WE FUCKING HEAR ABOUT IS THE ONE JEWISH PARTY LEADER BEING A DANGER TO EVERY JEWISH BRITON. I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING INSANE.

I once had to know in detail what was in the news, for work. I can tell you: you would be *horrified* to see how many people, talking about some controversial matter of the day, just repeat the last thing they heard or read about it, sometimes near-verbatim.

If I still have any hope for this country, is that the Worst People in Politics and the Right-Wing Media have become much more unhinged and cranky in their attacks on the left, and far easier to combat. This horror below will be beyond the pale for your Normal Floating Voter.

Times Editor: You draw that cartoon of Zack Polanski? Peter Brookes: Sure did boss, real fuckin antisemitic just like you asked. Time Editor: great

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

There's one day left on the Gamefound campaign for the @fightingfantasy.bsky.social Quest board game based on Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson's Warlock of Firetop Mountain. We spoke to co-designer Jan Wagner about the project. thegenerationsgames.substack.com/p/the-warloc...

It really works! A year ago, I still had lots of FB friends posting AI "art". I was nicely talking to them about it at first, but nothing changed until I got mean about it. Zero AI in my feed now, and half those people have joined in being staunchly anti-AI. We gotta be mean!

Hard to say what's worst: the frenzied kiwi bloodlust, or this calculating, sell-out prick.

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

We spoke to Malachi Ray Rempen about his god sim board game Almighty, currently on Kickstarter. thegenerationsgames.substack.com/p/almighty-p...

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social, Why did you invent a fake tactical voting company to stop the Green Party beating Reform? I'm starting to think your letters haven't always been in good faith...

still the most "i can hear this tweet" tweet of all time

AI is the “asbestos of the internet”

I love the Winter Olympics. But I've come to accept that it's really just people jumping off differently sized ramps.

I found this exchange on Twitter five years ago, no idea who either of them are but it remains the funniest thing I've ever seen on the site. There's SO much lore here.

We spoke with Facade Games' Travis Hancock about the latest Dark Cities journey through the history books, Roma XLI, and its upcoming Kickstarter campaign. thegenerationsgames.substack.com/p/roma-xli-b...

Now the Olympics is upon us again, a whole new batch of people are going to find out that the worst streaming service is not what they previously thought: it is Discovery plus.

It's pretty amazing to me the amount of shit that apparently you can Just Do as an NYC mayor. It makes basically every other American politician look like an incompetent loser. What do you mean there was just a button that reversed wage theft? Why wasn't and isn't everyone hitting it all the time??

A game store in St Paul is being targeted for exercising their free speech. Keep them in mind when shopping!

In the same way that Britain can’t have a proper national outrage scandal based on e.g. Boris Johnson killed your gran. We can’t have people thinking the state fed your granny into the wood chipper for coins. It makes everyone look bad.

My daughter, E, and I have reached 100 reviews of board games and tabletop games, based on how they play across the generations! So, here are our top 10 family board games: No. 10. Escape from Atlantis E says: "I liked the little boats.” thegenerationsgames.substack.com/p/game-revie...

The writing of this review of a board game from the 1980s may, once or twice, have been subtly impacted by the events of the past couple of weeks. So perhaps have fun reading between the lines as you go through it and see if you can pinpoint any subtext.

Our 100th tabletop game review is up! We take a look at Waddingtons' original version of board game Survive, Escape from Atlantis, from 1985. thegenerationsgames.substack.com/p/game-revie...

just opening up the new Epstein docs at random:

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all
