I am not anti-fascist, I am pro liberation. To be pro liberation means you must defeat fascism, but it also means that you fight to create a world that is liberated for all, not just against the thing that is currently harming you.

Train Dreams hit me out of nowhere, maybe the best movie of the year. Came in with zero expectations, came out transformed. Good movie did good.

Wow, no way, just seems so unlikely

I don't think this is really about countering Reform, at this point. It's what the people running Labour want to do, what they believe. Maybe the current Reform-focused political landscape makes them feel they have permission to act on it, but that's it.

Just unironically asked Elaine "do you want to reroll that with your knockers?"

Regular person: Ah, how the tables have turned.

Board game person: Ah, how the turns have tabled.

My hot take is that all villains are tragic villains, if we're given sufficient access to their interiority & backstory. Redemption arcs & empathy with villains aren't about excusing harm - on the contrary, acknowledging humanity is to emphasise our constant, ongoing capacity to *choose otherwise*.

Hi, I hate doing self promo so I'll just say that this indie board game coverage channel that could is about to hit a milestone of sorts.

There is no skeet that can summarize who we are or what we do, but we do cool work and you should check us out. www.youtube.com/@NoPunIncluded

I don't know why, but when a person gives me a litany of things they don't like in games, I just instantly don't want to play games with them. If someone says "oh, I just don't like co-op games" - I get that - that's normal.

But when they don't like auctions, & point tracks, & area control, &...
