As I've said many times, this is an awful thing that we are doing to ourselves for no discernible reason.

Snowed in and working, having Unsolved Mysteries on in the background as comfort show. Dunno how I watched this as a 10 year old back in the day. Terrifying

SAGA Sunday! a team game of 8 pts vs my kids - they each brought 4 pts of Vikings, I brought 4 pts of Scots and 4 pts of Norse-Gaels. Goal was to gather the livestock in the middle of the board and move it to your side. Lots of fun! My son is learning the rules really well - super stoked #SAGA

This was an invented moral panic. The NYT and Fox News ran more stories about trans people than the Advocate, an explicitly LGBTQ publication. It was the exact same story in the UK. The media fanned the flames of a moral panic.
Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

Goonhammer Historicals: Review of The Troop, a WW2 Turn-Based Strategy Game You Need to Play
Today in Historicals, Mugginns reviews The Troop — a video game, but a simulation of a hex-based WWII board game that focuses on solving single puzzle scenarios.

The moment it was crystal clear we were in the worse case scenario, was exactly a year ago when Trump pardoned every single Jan 6 perpetrator, including the ones that beat the crap out of cops and were convicted of seditious conspiracy.

I’m 42 years old.

I’ve been watching this game most of my life.

I’ve been analyzing and covering this game for 12+ years.

I have no idea what a catch is. 🤷‍♂️
