Day 2 of the 12 Days of #boardgames: played a couple more rounds of SW: BoH so had to sneak in something a little lighter so played a little magical athlete. 3 out of 5. No denying the quality of graphic design, hits a lot of the right nostalgia notes, & family always loves it. Just not much there.

Kicked off 12 Day of #boardgames last night. Day 1 of 12: Star Wars: Battle of Hoth with the Little Mister. It was light but interesting without a lot of rules overhead. 4 out of 5. Will play again and would recommend.

I refuse to let this era be defined by the sick villains and spineless cowards. We are surrounded by everyday heroes and they will keep emerging.
Damn this video of a observer/protester climbing a ladder to hand blanket to the construction worker who was surrounded by ICE.

new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

While showing Pete Davidson on the Knicks Jumbotron was certainly a choice, hat tip to the editorial decision to play Wu Tang’s C.R.E.A.M. during his promo shoot. Indeed.

@schumer.senate.gov Why do you insist on making everything worse? You don’t have the votes even if the the other side was acting in good faith, which they proven they are incapable of doing. All your capitulation will do is exacerbate the suffering of those who have shouldered too much pain already.

Look, this was going to just be a quick post about my October plays, but how about a huge shout out to @bgstatsapp.bsky.social for building the functionality to copy alt text to clipboard. Huge hat tip to you!

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I agree.
My hottest Pokemon take is that Gen V did it right and more games should have the courage to leave all the mons from older games until the post game. Have the chance to learn to love some new guys, become champion together. You can have your nostalgia when you're champion.
