When we say that wargamers plan their next moves everywhere, we mean EVERYWHERE.

Cooper Island • Great eurogame from a few years back. Criminally overlooked. #boardgames

30 years ago, I decided to give wargames a shot. I walked into the legendary Valet d’Coeur in Montreal and bought these two gems—essentially based on subject matters. I got really lucky with those picks (still own them!), and that day sent me down a path that greatly influenced the rest of my life.

Êtes-vous en train de dire que les conservateurs préfèrent avoir un homme comme premier ministre plutôt qu’une femme ? INCROYABLE !!

You can always count on the White House sow to kiss the devil’s festering ass.

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. (Oh, and Trump is also calling for the death of elected Democrats. Just your typical Thursday.)

Oh boy this was bad. The idea of a WWII murder mystery sounded fun, but the writing is eye-rollingly bad (no line of dialogue ever feels genuine) and the plotting tolerable at best. Very clearly a first novel (from 2006) but I’m not wasting time giving any other book in the series a chance.

This guy REALLY doesn’t want to feed his people. But go ahead and tell any camera crew that if you could, you would want to help so much…

This might make a nice (golden) gift for Trump. I suggest he invites his entire administration to be there when he opens it.

Spotted in a downtown eatery in Montreal. I wonder why it made me think of something by @nonbreakingspace.bsky.social and @gmtgames.bsky.social …

Pulse (Pink Floyd) was released in June of 1995, with a flashing light that, well, pulsed out of the case. (Electronic red waves washing over an entire record store wall was a thing to behold.) I’ve been replacing the batteries ever since to keep it going, about once every two years. For 30 years.

I hate those people so much. This is the White House posting on X, after 1) admitting the man was deported by mistake, and 2) being ordered by the Supreme Court to bring him back:

One more box checked in the Perfect Little Dictator’s handbook. (And if you still think this is hyperbole, grab on to something.)

So it wasn’t enough to pardon the rioters, now they’ll try to jail those who prosecuted them in the first place. What a bunch of jolly bastards.
