I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

this is how you know those “hot portcullis in your area” ads are fake
The US is so stupid, I don’t even know of anywhere remotely near me where I could go look at a single portcullis

Starfriends: The 5-Star Game About What Everyone Else Thinks
A party game where you get into your friends' heads. Kinda like a blend of Wavelength and Letterboxd that fits into a deck of cards.

this game rob made is so simple and good you will be sure it must have existed before but somehow it didn’t. and it’s a really fun party game
Looking for a party game that combines social deduction with the pleasant absurdity of rating animals, films, and the weather on a scale of ★ to ★★★★★? And it's just a simple deck of cards? AND it's live on Kickstarter now?!?! Guess what, STARFRIENDS has launched! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bra...

listen we're at 186% with just over 24 hours to go. if your brain is anything like mine you love a nice, round number like 200%. SO if you've been on the fence OR you're just learning about this game, grab a deck (or a shirt) and help nudge us to the finish line!

it was a pleasure having @robdubbin.bsky.social and @garrett.bsky.social on the Toylike blog. give it a read, and check out their new game Starfriends while you’re at it!
