Excellent visualizations by ProPublica making the case that CCS is a dead-end solution. You may want to remove that card from your Daybreak set. daybreakgame.org/card/1121

I need all you hip young game devs to go get portal (it's $2 on steam right now) so I don't turn to dust when I have conversations about it at work.

Wrens are so darn perky.

Wishing @rericreuss.bsky.social the best on Spirit Island going forward, looking forward to see more of my favorite game. And when FRG is unwilling to relinquish the art rights at a price that's more cost-effective than replacing all the art... they'll get what they deserve, which is nothing.

BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.

Voices 4 Democracy wants to hear how the unprecedented actions of the current administration have impacted Hoosiers like you. I have found the articles they've published so far to be consistently interesting. open.substack.com/pub/voices4d...

I've been religious. It was mostly about telling others how they're allowed to live. I've been atheist. It made every day feel one step closer to oblivion. I'm learning to be spiritual. It seems to be about sharing the love of the universe. These might all be wrong. But one makes me happy.

Also to be fair, algae has been around since the beginning of life on the planet, and we're not even infants relative to that.

Being loved makes you strong. Loving someone makes you brave. This is why we will win.

Catbus is REAL!!

hows about a little pleasantness

No lies detected.

It's the little things.

I am fascinated with animals using tools. I'm surprised to see this one using bait!

The only orange monarch that I want.

LOL. I love that the cat added its own sound effects.

My favorite thing is when animals feel the need to show human moms their little babies 😭😭 TT: @hayleydavo99

I love this little component that @qualitybeast.bsky.social included in their game. I think it should be in all games. I will probably find a rock to paint and keep on hand as a stand-in for this at any game. Wouldn’t you enjoy receiving or passing this out at the table? (1/2)

I really like this idea for first time players. Gives them permission to take back a punishing mistake, but doesn't make it unlimited. Perhaps a nice way to generally balance any board game between newer and experienced players.

Happy hopping Tuesday 😺

IT FLOWERED! Cactus flowers are wildly attractive to pollinators. I was hunched over this one trying to get a photo and a bee dove past my camera and buried itself headfirst inside.

The cactus are now giving me an embarrassment of riches.

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

This garden is beautiful and well worth a visit.

I want more people working to remove this guy's name from everything. I know I won't notice it when it happens, but I look forward to the first time I go a day, or even a week, without being reminded that he ever existed.

Bluesky isn't a bubble or an echo chamber, it's a garden. You plant some seeds and pull some weeds, you tend to it with care, and you make it into a space that pleases you when you come to sit in it a while. Other people can plant and tend to their own gardens, if they like. This garden is yours.
