1/ Kramatorsks tågstation är nu öde. Inga passagerartåg stannar längre vid dessa perronger. I tre års tid, sedan hösten 2022, har denna station varit en viktig livlina för soldater och anhöriga. Det är här de har tagit farväl eller välkomnat varandra där de hälsat på några dagar.

"Those in power recognized that oppression is best maintained by keeping the masses illiterate, and those oppressed recognized that literacy is liberation"

@danielolai.bsky.social did a great presentation earlier this week on the 2026 Swedish boardgame design competition. I like the changes to the format, especially the regional qualifiers where you show up with a physical prototype and teach your game. Looking forward to participate!

Our kids' school will close by end of this school year. Combination of fewer kids and not finding better premises to continue the school. Our kids like the school so a bit sad but we will deal with it. However, it triggered me digging into the population projection for Sweden:

First game of Pompeii completed, fresh from SPIEL. The inventory boards make handling the many different resource types a bliss. Will play again! Congrats to Richard for keeping the eyes on the ball and beating us across the finish line!

Hello from #spiel 2025! I promised one day to bring my kids and this year it happened!

Picked up Pompeii at #spiel today -- amazing production value! Who wants to play?

Deutsches Bergbau Museum, Bochum, Germany. Yesterday we explored 1.2 km mineshafts under the museum and learned about 250 years of coal mining in Ruhr.

Great exhibition at Castle Gottorp about the end of the Viking Age. #vikings #history #zeitenwende

Competent. Loyal. Pick one. Great reporting by Anna Bower on Trump appointee Lindsey Halligan. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

If your operating costs scale with your revenue, you don't have a great business model.

With the climate crisis we face a challenge unlike anything human civilisation has seen before with consequences for generations to come. Yet we let these war mongering old men be in charge.

#NoKings Someday a pigeon will sit on top of a statue of Trump raised "by the people" and praising him for being a "peace maker".

🕯️ Berlin, werde bitte still. Am 18. Oktober 1941 begann die systematische Massendeportation der jüdischen Bevölkerung aus der damaligen Reichshauptstadt unter dem Naziterror. #onthisday Blicke auf das "Mahnmal Gleis 17" am Bahnhof Grunewald, also am historischen Ort.

Trump is a disaster for the planet. Tell the world today.

Smart kids on Generative AI www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO9a...

"Swedish prime minister Ulf Kristersson says [..] it was “very stupid” to travel to Gaza despite the warnings." I say Greta had courage to act where those in power did not.

"Generative AI exists for two reasons: to cost money, and to make executives look busy." Ed Zitron is the little boy in The Emperor's New Clothes. www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-aga...

Jamey writes about why he no longer use Kickstarter to launch games. He doesn’t elaborate on “emotional toll” but I can imagine having a six week launch window for a finished product is much healthier than the prolonged uncertainty of a kickstarter campaign. stonemaiergames.com/10-years-wit...

"When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist. Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted" #nobel-peace-prize

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2025 to Maria Corina Machado “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”
