I've been tempted by this one as I've heard Pennsyvania adds stocks and turns #TTR into more of an #!8xx style #TrainGame

Don't love the original, but this is very good at 2. The draft is superb.

Of the small map expansions this one is my favorite. Both sides are very good. I think it pushes what ttr is very well.

This you, Kristi?

A screenshot of a post from X (formerly Twitter). The top tweet is from user @covie_93 with the caption: “This tweet aged like Stephen Miller…..”. Below it is a tweet from Kristi Noem (@KristiNoem) that reads:
“If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights.
Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too.
South Dakota defends the Constitution.”

The fact this is a competitive game always felt odd to me. You literally try to send the fire towards your opponents.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

I am just so fucking proud of her.

I would love to break into tier 3 this year but I don't think it's in the cards. My goals are at least yearly.

No one to collect taxes, so we don't have to pay either, right?

In light of today’s absolutely fucking deranged “I’m in a war movie” speeches by Trump and Hegseth, I give you the plaque at West Point.

What she didn't tell you is the timing was perfect as the stitching on her very, very well loved teal OG Quiver was just starting to fail.

Thank you for the praise, I was excited to make it happen and Peachey's reaction was worth it.

It's the Nataulis from Trader Sam's. A drink for two was served in it. So neat.

I may have gone overboard on tiki mug purchases this week... But there were so many good ones.

Several tiki mugs. One shaped like the Nautilus, a green one with trees,a tribal style mask,a puffer fish and two little shot glasses

This weekend at #MagicCon I got the pleasure of gifting @peachypopcos.bsky.social her custom Quiver which was made possible by the awesome team at @quivertime.com

What a fun project! I threw in my MagicCon strap from last year's version.

Custom painted card case in a peach color with peaches and graphic lines as the background. Leather leaves added as accents.
