The IOC's decision to disqualify Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych, the Ukrainian flag bearer no less, is utterly disgraceful and a stain on the Olympic Games. Shame!

For fans of Luke and Christopher’s podcast the Hypothesis come to our live taping tonight! They’ll be donning their vestments and joined by fellow Ludological Alchemist Sam Roberts. Last year’s Gen Con taping was a riot—this time they’ll return with better alchemy and more obstreperous golems.

@2-much-man.bsky.social Thanks for the latest podcast. Re: the Tkachuks, I think many Americans, like me, were disappointed to see people who are enthusiastic about a wannabe dictator being pushed as the face of American hockey. It’s about as anti-American as it gets.
