This thread is like one of those sci-fi movies where they stumble upon a destroyed spaceship and find the log reports of the captain slowly going insane.

Interesting comment in this interview: "...I’ve struggled with some challenges over the years, which eventually made me realize my work ethics are not aligned with BGG" Either way, though, glad to see Candace working with one of my favourite companies! Looking forward to the videos she produces.

I literally thought Trump's new FIFA Peace Prize was a dude crying into his hands.

Read this entire thread (it’s important!), but I just want to use this particular post to say that reading Dan’s writing has inspired me to be better. And while I try not to “copy” his style, I have used it to try and make my posts more meaningful. So thank you, Dan

I love that picture. Like she's sizing him up to eat him.

Uh, yeah...I'm interested due to Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti. But wow, that's so not good.

Apparently Tom Cotton isn't an American. Deport him!!!!

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 I’m partnering with Rep. Massie & @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social to introduce a War Powers Resolution that will force a vote in Congress to block Trump’s insane escalations against Venezuela. No one except Trump wants this war—so I’m going to use every tool I have to stop him.

An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president. Just fucking pathetic.

@ovenall.bsky.social So are you taking a look at the new Cryptozoic Mystery Science Theater 3000 game that's just hit Kickstarter? None of my friends are fans of the show, so it's really not for me.

"Ahhhh I have arrived on the Street of Sesame, on a sunny day turned cloudy . . . " Yes, folks, it's Beignet Blanc!

Wow, it's almost like he's in on the "I don't know anything about that" joke

Put them on record! Do it even if it would never make it to the floor. Make them work for it.

Have to say, the Hypnagogue podcast is wonderful background writing music! I save episodes for when I'm writing rather than listening to them as they come out, but they just get my creative juices flowing. @hypnagoguepodcast.bsky.social

Actually doing something about this would involve the leakers coming forward and testifying, right? Or maybe somebody else will? I just fear that once again nothing is going to come of this, even if there is an investigation.

It's funny. I laugh about how many people have blocked me here (11 now!) but I still don't have any idea why. Unless they're some rabid conservative, but most of the descriptions (which you can still see on ClearSky) don't strike me as right-wing fanatics. Maybe they don't like my take on games?

I feel that finger in so many of my games (especially at lunch at work in our games!)

"Sorry, we had Thanksgiving plans. I haven't kept up on this stuff."

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

Even if this were a valid attack (WHICH IT IS NOT), this would be a war crime. Jesus, these people.

Seems good for initial emails (though @patrickstactics.bsky.social 's monthly Combat Commander scenario notification got a 50% "might be AI-generated" score). The longer a thread goes on, the more scanE thinks an email is AI-generated. I'll use it for new stuff, though!

Worth watching this whole clip. Indistinguishable from Nazi leaders talking about Jews in the 1930s.

RIP (Revenge in Peace) - Final Girl - Slaughter in the Groves Review @vanrydergames.bsky.social

I'm thankful for the fact that many more people than usual are spending part of their Thanksgiving somehow finding their way to my blog! How about some book recommendations? dudetakeyourturn.ca/2024/01/17/5...

Personally, I think it's a bad thing when people in the government post AI images without disclosing that they're AI. Image on the left is something RFK Jr. posted today. Image on the right is a photo from 2024.

You can read the Lizza stuff without paying for it but it will still come at a terrible cost

An 18yo US citizen, surrounded by eight masked, armed agents of the state, taken into custody, not read his rights, not offered a chance to contact a lawyer, proof of citizenship ignored, handcuffed so tightly he later required medical attention. Profoundly, profoundly anti-American shit.

Can totally relate to both sides of this.

Get out and vote, people!!!!

I always enjoyed the old joke that when the Lions owner (way back when) died, his final words on his deathbed were misheard to be "always play on Thanksgiving" instead of "pray"

Black Friday's coming, which means I will get flooded with Boardgame Geek threads that I have to block! (I like Hot Deals, which is why I'm subscribed to that subject on BGG, but in times like this it becomes annoying)

🚨This should be front and center. 🚨 Every news cycle everywhere. Everyone needs to be talking about this for so many reasons. This problem is vast & if the billionaire social media idiots are hiding it from us? Good Lord. What a disadvantage. Where there’s smoke…🔥 #Pinks #ProudBlue

Book Review - When the Moon Hits Your Eye by @scalzi.com

I’m a graduate of one of those (though not in agriculture). I couldn’t agree more!

Twitter had to turn off its location feature within hours because thousands of prominent and "verified" MAGA accounts turned out to be foreign and I think it's hilarious that Elon was the one who exposed them all

It is with great pleasure that I present today a special edition of Combat Commander, released to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the title's publication. Enjoy! theboardgameschronicle.com/2025/11/23/c... @gmtgames.bsky.social

Beautiful!!!!

Grand opening, grand closing. X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

i promise i don’t mean to high horse this but if you’re thinking about giving lizza ten bucks there are a lot of good independent journalists whose work you could subscribe to for a month instead
