Unsuccessful deck! A bunch of different components that have some synergy, but almost never have enough of them in hand or in play at the same time. Even when I do have all my 'mons and tools in play, the damage output is never enough. #PokemonTCG

Some will decide the proper response is to become technophobic, when the proper response is to be aware of your child's activities and talk to them
Here's PIRG researcher RJ Cross getting the Alilo Smart AI bunny to tell @savanahsellers.bsky.social about S&M, the FoloToy Sunflower Warmie telling me it is actually both a cactus and a teddy bear (???) and the Miiloo spouting the CCP line on Taiwan.

#AzulBoardGame on BoardGameArena. Player stopped playing and we unfortunately had to boot them from the game. Then, we hit and error when I make a move. "ZombieStateException" is apparently something that happens when a player is removed. We all had to drop.

Remember in 2008 when America was allowed to have a black person as President to distract from the fact they wanted to officially legalize "domestic dissemination" of propaganda and do a bank bailout? What is Japan about to do?

Oh wow, Japan is going to have its first woman prime minister!

Ah. I see.

During the #DominionGame event at the #WorldBoardgameChampionships, a few players noted some easy reforms to Dominion- When the last Province is taken:
1. Allow every player to have the same number of turns.
2. Set up "tokens" to allow those players to take 8VP if they earn a Province.
