Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

if we'd treated their obvious baldfaced lies and deflections more like this over the past eight years maybe we wouldn't be in this situation

Former S Baptist here:

They ABSOLUTELY will on the latter, because they're already there in doctrine & are convinced that their interpretation is the 1 true interpretation. Catholicism, for example, they consider a cult.

I'm sure a Nicene-like coalition could be built but even that'd have to fall.

-wards, often frustratingly, taking up way too much time on or between turns. I like a dice draft with a good twist on pip value, and 3 Sisters and Pulsar do that brilliantly, and each are different enough to justify playing both. The original Trismegistus not so much, in my opinion. /end

David T./D.T. Brandt - Settler on Stolen Land @queerpointyears.bsky.social · 5h

better money value by a long shot. But Pulsar is a smoother play, has less to keep track of, and bonus actions are very limited. I also prefer it to Castles of Burgundy, a hobby classic. Trismegistus meanwhile is a chore of tracking the puzzle of what actions you need to take and working back- 3/4

David T./D.T. Brandt - Settler on Stolen Land @queerpointyears.bsky.social · 5h

felt very similar to 3 Sisters's, but the actions you take in Pulsar are much smaller despite the play space of Pulsar being so big. The game overall takes about the same amount of time from setup to tear down. So it mostly comes down to your taste of flavour and/or tightness. 3 Sisters is the- 2/4

The round space board of Pulsar 2849 with connected colored routes, available communication array tiles, dice adjustment tokens, technology tree on boards telescoping off to the left from main board, and player reward tree board, with resource cubes and tiles on the light grey folding table.

Board game of the day was Pulsar 2849, an older Vladimír Suchý design, when he was still publishing with CGE. It's been a few years since we played it, and it's interesting that we played it so close to the RidBack game Three Sisters and the original version of Trismegeistus. Pulsar's dice draft 1/4

Wow. The lead singer of Lostprophets was killed in prison.

I had no idea what had happened to that band, or why he was in prison.

Turns out it's for the things guys usually get killed in prison for, like all of those things, alot, and more. Yikes!

It’s ironic to hear the rights rhetoric about what is and isn’t an insurrection.

Mike Pence could have used the National Guard that day—perhaps before they erected gallows.

Top half: A peaceful protest at night with people in colorful costumes, standing calmly with others. Text reads “INSURRECTION.”

Bottom half: A chaotic crowd at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, with rioters waving Trump flags, smoke in the air, and people pushing toward the building. Text reads “NOT AN INSURRECTION.”
