If you will be in Indy this week and you are free Thursday night- join me and the guys from Pink Troubadour Thursday night from 7-9 at Guggman Brewery for a meet and greet.

The Odyssey starts fast out of the gate and doesn’t let up. Almost three hours flies by, buoyed by excellent performances by the entire expansive cast. Highly recommend going to see it at theaters (especially IMAX). Fantastic film!

The group reflexive hate for Argentina is very follower sheep surface level interest coded. As a hardcore progressive dem myself - I can see how Trump won again and the right think we are insanely lame in our thinking

Here are the new games I purchased in the exhibitor hall at Origins. (Not pictured: a preorder of Elementary.)

Disclosure Day is an absolute delight from start to finish. Spielberg challenges us to consider what it would mean to find we weren’t alone in the universe, as well as what it means to be human. The entire cast is excellent but particularly Emily Blunt and Colman Domingo stood out to me.

“Love feels like blasphemy when you worship power” is an absolute bar! 🔥

For decades, Dan Patrick has sold out the poor, the sick, and the vulnerable to enrich his donors. Love feels like blasphemy when you worship power.

the internet's legacy will be its ability to create entirely new realities, custom made for your preexisting worldview

If you're casually dismissing the importance of recognizing Pride Month while an explicitly fascist regime is in power, you're missing the whole point. For better or worse, Pride recognition and celebration matters more than it has in a long time, I think.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Because I’m a huge nerd, I ranked my top ten Star Wars movies and television series. 1. Andor 2. Ep V: The Empire Strikes Back 3. Rebels 4. Rogue One 5. Ep IV: A New Hope 6. The Mandalorian 7. Clone Wars 8. Ep VII: The Force Awakens 9. Obi Wan Kenobi 10. Ep III: Revenge of the Sith

My April IRL plays. Yes, I am an omnigamer, why?

I know the American education system will never have an internet literacy class bc it’s not in the state’s interest but this would be the kind of stuff people should learn before they’re allowed to vote

So, some dude is making an AI harvesting app that is taking board game you tubers reviews, mangling them, and attributing bullshit to us in order to make some random numbers. Not a single thought about asking first, obviously. Ive asked to be removed from his app. www.reddit.com/r/boardgames...

From the boardgames community on Reddit: BGG ratings are great, but I wanted to find out if a game is right for my group. So I built a free tool!

A horror movie in one photo:

We had 11 people show up for a casual @sorcerytcg.bsky.social meetup tonight. Some first games, some experienced sorcerers, but everyone had a great time. Very exciting to be a part of growing the community locally.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Okay this one got me 😂
