World of Warcraft: The Board Game
2006, playing with my family.

A dining table with a large board game board and several pieces and cards sitting on it. The low afternoon light is streaming through the window across it. A 7 year old boy is taking his turn. A younger child is in a chair in the corner reading a picture book.

I would love to have a nicely curated collection of favorites that I can pull from to scratch any itch that arises.
But also, I don’t want to give up any individual game I own. I contain multitudes.

CALL FOR ACTION!
The presidential budget request cuts NASA next year by about 25%. Hardest hit is science, with a 50% cut. Along with other science cuts across the government, this is an extinction-event for science in America.

More from the Planetary Society: www.planetary.org/save-nasa-sc...

Purple slide with planets, stars and asteroids along the edits. Text reads: Save NASA science. The presidential budget request cuts NASA by 25% overall, but science takes the biggest hit with a 47% cut. This, along with other cuts to NSF and NIH, will put the US behind by decades.

Among many other achievements, technology development for X-ray and gamma-ray telescopes has led to advances in medical imaging like faster or portable scanners.

Purple slide with planets in the corners. A large graphic shows many small squares arranged in a 16x18 grid. This represents the overall U.S. budget. One of the squares is colored in - it is the NASA budget. Text reads: Cutting NASA’s science doesn’t save much money, and does more harm than good to our technological future.

Yes! I did a couple times, and my kids played it once at Gamestorm but they were too young to remember. I showed them some photos of what it was like before.

@rf-seattle.bsky.social and @flatoutgames.bsky.social did an amazing job with Cascadia: Rolling Hills! Finally got to play it today and am already itching to play again.

Happy birthday!!! We finally met in person at OrcaCon last year, but you’ve always been such a thoughtful, giving presence in the community. You’ve been an inspiration to me and so many others.

All members of Congress swore allegiance to the Constitution. They didn't ask just Democrats to defend America against all enemies.

The house is on fire, y'all. I'll do everything I can to extinguish that flame, but I am begging my Republican colleagues to remember their oath.

Do you have what it takes to win big on America's hottest new game show? All you have to do is guess the name of a celebrity with no context before the timer runs out. There's just one catch: the host is your girlfriend!

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

I could use some help spreading the word about my Etsy shop. These are all handmade creatures designed and hand-sewed by me. They each take many hours to make. A sale or two would be a colossal help.

@charlesgaba.com is a hero and downloaded CDC’s entire website. A small group of us has come together to preserve this critical resource and make it accessible to the scientific community.

More to come. These data are public and they are ours. Deletion disobedience is one way to fight back.

📣 UPDATE: OK, still working with some others to figure out the best way to present it all, but in the meantime here's the first batch of links to the most-recent archived versions of every page at the CDC prior to the Trump/Musk Purge:

In which I provide links to archived versions of every CDC.gov page available pre-purge (Part 1 of 15)

As horrific as it is that the Trump/Musk Administration is purging data from federal websites, it's good to know that the Internet Archive has been archiving much of it. However, in addition to the Ar...
