Found this moving and deeply satisfying throughout. Thanks for holding the line against a deeply dumb administration that wants to silence us. Humor is freedom, humor is life affirming, humor is everything. youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY?...

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Ditto Blake Treinen. The dodgers have very clearly decided these games don’t matter. They’re trying to “get these guys right” when that’s no longer possible. These innings could be going to younger players who could really use the reps right now. It’s inexcusable stubbornness.

Yep. Yates ain’t it. That was embarrassing.

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From

This mf’er is a hugely unpopular lame duck and people and institutions with actual power are out here acting, for eight months straight, like he’s some goddam immortal emperor. Fuck that noise.

This 👆 But that fraud That charlatan can’t silence us all. That big humorless baby is going to lose again.

I’m at the game tonight. Great game so far. Tanner Scott comes out and the crowd is silent.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

@ruelgaviola.com woof this bullpen 😭

On @kovray.bsky.social: An Extended preview of Zombie Princess a rift on Spades (releasing in 2026?) by @cardboardeast.bsky.social and right after Starla and Mik of @ourfamplaysgames.bsky.social breaking down the OG Spades (released in 1930). 🤩 youtu.be/ET8Tj_ryzWA?...

Tea-Witches. Eh 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sometimes when I see peers criticizing high production value games I feel a bit defensive… but then I see posts like this and I feel an immense pride that I work with people who create memories. Moments of emotion shared over a table with friends. Wow. It’s humbling and inspiring.

I think teaching games is a skill and, to toot my own horn, I think I'm pretty good at it. My formula? 70% knowledge, 20% energy 10% being loud.

@andyhre.bsky.social I just stumbled on this and it’s probably not a viable option yet for us in the States with the tariff mess but still cool that someone is doing it. English version of the site: mini-chips.com/en

Gotta shout-out @rollingreggie.bsky.social for hyping @lonesharkgames.bsky.social ‘s Lords of Vegas with some of my most favorite keywords: fun, EVENT, interactive, and BIG reveals. Motivated me to find a copy and learn it, played it for the 1st time last night and we all loved it. Absolute banger!

Amazing job @silvylea.bsky.social hosting @boardgamehottakes.bsky.social ‘s 5 year anniversary. Brilliant job on quizzes and calling the lads on their usual BS in such an endearing and hilarious way. 🤣 Congratulations to Tim @adambght.bsky.social @2muchenthusiasm.bsky.social on the best BG podcast!

Excited about this one, wish it was coming sooner!

Man Dodgers dropping two close games in a row to the Angels 🫠

I can find many things I like about the sequels (the first two, at least), but I'll just pick these four, which are among my favorite moments of the entire series:

My Own Private Idaho.

Devir Games is recalling all copies of its new release Ace of Spades after being called out for using racist and culturally insensitive artwork in the game, describing it as “a serious mistake that we recognize and deeply regret”: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...

Had I known these cards were included, there is no way I would have given money for a copy. Now I really just want to throw it in the trash.

We were recently made aware of disturbing and offensive artwork in the new game Ace of Spades by Devir. We have contacted Devir regarding this matter. Fellow hobbyists: we must strive to be better humans. We can’t simply “look the other way” when an issue doesn’t affect us directly.

#FantasticFour director Matt Shakman confirmed with Jack Kirby's son that The Thing would be a Brooklyn Dodgers fan ⚾️ "In this universe ... the Dodgers don't go to LA ... in the comics ... they made him a Yankees fan — and it didn't sit right with me" (via Phase Hero)

Even the Nixon Museum has a Watergate section.

Got a play of Age of Comics in with @dupthedodger.bsky.social and Adam last night. Clever worker placement games about publishing and selling comics. Loved the production with all the unique comic titles.

"If you flip a 7, things get interesting. The 7 card has a special power: the player who flips it has to draw another card from the deck. If the new card is also a 7, the player has to draw another card, and so on." Can we please stop with the AI 💩? kthx.

I am being completely serious when I say that Democrats in Congress should be planning daily press conferences between now and September asking why Republicans are refusing to do their jobs to protect the country’s most famous pedophile who was also best friends with the leader of their party

actually a lot of innocent people write birthday letters to child sex traffickers in which they repeatedly reference the secrets they share

Hi. Hey. Mike here. When media companies cancel Late Night shows to appease fascist presidents, America fucking ends.

This game is such an underrated gem and at this price a no brainer. ✈️

Tariffs. Stock market down. Medicaid slashed Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans. National guard and marines deployed in LA. No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine Bombing Iran This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

Video interview with Raul Claros of the grassroots organizing group California Rising, explaining what happened at Dodger Stadium today, what the community wants from the Dodgers, and why he thinks ICE retaliated against the team. (Part 1)

We've never seen a more perfect match! 😍

@pandasaurusgames.com a match made in heaven?!

We don’t post non-boardgame stuff often but we do appreciate democracy and oppose kings so the BGHT crew was glad to be a part of the anti-fascism, anti-dictator, anti-monarch protests today. Long Beach, CA pictured here.

He was not “escorted out by security.” He was shoved out the door by three goons and handcuffed. The fucking Times is going to soft-pedal the violence until the end of fucking time.

Noam is a coward and a fascist. You can’t ask questions now? Fascist.

In my top 10, underrated IMO but highly recommend ✈️🌎 @boardgamehottakes.bsky.social favorite✈️ Lowest I’ve seen it in 6 months

Had a blast playing @druidcitygames.bsky.social Wonderland’s War for the first time on Wednesday! Been waiting over 2 years to play this one and did not disappoint! 👑❤️♠️🐇

Andor is amazing this week. Next level.

BGHT-Con episodes are my favorite BGHT episodes! 🔥🐦‍🔥🔥

Thinking about @beziergames.bsky.social Zombie Princess I was like I should learn Spades first so picked up this old gift off my shelf. Love this short history: from WWII to college campuses which is the same tale I’ve heard about PB&J. 🃏♠️🥜🥪
