does this compound the embarrassment of Bondi having submitted written confirmation that Halligan's GJ record was complete? anyway...total gong show, clown car, goat rodeo, etc &c

it's kind of cool to see notable gaming personalities using my work! if you run into any pain points with the module or see things you wish had been mentioned in the (already lengthy) help, i'm all ears.

at my age it's an act of self-care to never watch AOTC again, because the dialog in the Anakin/Padme fireplace scene could induce a cringe so powerful i'd herniate a disc

there's been so much bad-faith opposition to what are mostly modest reforms, particularly on minimum lot size requirements. that and all the scaremongering about "loss of local control"...when all the local control is what's gotten us into this supply bind.

that in turn links to an FAQ i've maintained since the official one went offline. hit me up any time for help with the HIS/VQ VASSAL modules, which i also maintain.

get in there and give this game a shot--it's the least daunting 44 page rulebook you'll find. you can do it!

the 2024 reprint already sold out, but there's a thriving online play community mostly using VASSAL. to find players, there's a Discord group typified by more casual, newbie-friendly play (discord.gg/RjK2AVr) and a WhatsApp group more competitive in nature (tinyurl.com/HISVQ)

fun chat--lots of enthusiasm for a big, meaty game that's still going strong almost 20 years after its debut! you're bound to get some listeners wondering how to dive in and get started--to that end, some ideas:

it's beyond preposterous for DOJ to frame ICE/CBP guys kitted out in military gear as the poor victims of "violent conduct"...do give me a break, my eyes can only roll so far

one thing it might mean is that there are a lot of reactionary centrist pundits and has-been political strategists who based their advice to Democrats on too-sweeping 2024 conclusions and forward-looking assumptions that aren't going to be as enduring as they figured

you basically have to have an advanced degree in monitoring their trolling and AI slop to have understood this in the moment, it's probably healthy if you didn't

it's hard to overstate what a shambles the Fall of Minneapolis is from inception to execution. its creator is a right-winger who washed out of local TV and is married to notorious MN MAGA chud Bob Kroll. the FP elevating and amplifying this pathetic hackery has had a long tail effect.

isn't 31 USC 5112 (n)(2)(E) the better fit here?
