One of the very few solo games I own is Exoship by @ksylves.bsky.social @weheart.games - fun quick puzzle, clever "generational" mechanism, and I love the setting. Fits in your pocket.

Key takeaway: "Such a high turnout means businesses and institutions that thought they must cater to the administration to appeal to a majority of Americans will be forced to recalculate."

I agree with Captain Kirk. This empire is illogical. I will not be part of it.

I guess I'm 50-50 because of D&D and Skyrim.

Lost in Samarkand the other day to @kbowenwriter.bsky.social who scored big on trade agreements. I really like this game - kind of a Chicago Express feel (same designer) without the share auctions.

Picked up "Earth" at an estate sale at Congress of Gamers last weekend and played it for the first time earlier this week with @kbowenwriter.bsky.social - a bit of a Wingspan vibe with maybe a touch more depth. Really like this one

"The Washington Post’s average paid daily circulation has dropped below 100,000 for the first time in 55 years...It's the sort of figure you’d expect to see from a mid-size regional paper...Not from a globally recognized newsroom with multiple Pulitzers to its name."

"With no reporters able to ask questions, it seems the Pentagon leadership will continue to rely on slick social media posts, carefully orchestrated short videos and interviews with partisan commentators and podcasters.

No one should think that's good enough. "
