Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick

A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi

Join us tonight for Live Cardboard #17

Games that fired other games. Or did they?

Do you only keep one game on a topic? If so, which one? Or do you like multiple takes on the same topic? We'll talk about it all.

Tonight, 9E/6P

Live Cardboard 17 - Games that fired other games. Or did they? - YouTube

Sometimes when a new game comes out, you'll see someone say that it makes their previous game on the topic irrelevant, that the previous game has been fired....

Best case scenario, that’s a good thing as it didn’t prevent getting to where we are now.

Grant @pushingcardboard.bsky.social · 3d

Heh. Get a new one. And therein lies the rub.

This is the home of Diane Goodstein, a federal judge who ruled against Trump last month.

Members of her family were still inside, but survived by jumping out windows.

Just yesterday Stephen Miller claimed left wing judges were terrorists & state power was needed to stop them.

ICI C'EST LA FRANCE Unboxing

Check out this Kim Kangar design from 2009 on the Algerian War of Independence. As you would expect with a Kangar design, the map and counters are beautiful (he's the artist as well as the designer).

I’m doing my part. I’m not spending the $5000 I usually spend on trips to California each year. Not this year. Actually, the way things look now, I can’t see when I’ll ever go back.

I know there’s a lot going on with *gestures to everything* but as of today, October 1st:

🚩Alberta officially has the LOWEST minimum wage in Canada

🚩AISH recipients in social housing will pay hundreds more in rent

Cruel UCP choices are making life more expensive.

It doesn’t have to be this way.
