According to news reports, 3200 S Halsted St is the site of the crash and also sports a classic Chicago DZBL. The engineers are probably the most directly responsible parties for the death of this person. www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/t...

Lotr Gimli-Legolas face death meme:
Gimli: I never expected to protest for the military-industrial complex.
Legolas/NATO: What about for a defensive alliance of democracies?
Gimli: Aye. I could do that.

Au contraire, mon frère! I've been recycling for subscribers on my block using my Bikes At Work trailer. It carries so much I don't even go every week.

There's so much more than this. I've got the personal player chronicles for every player, carrying their family lore forward for the next generation.

In world, this is our history: One Eye entered the first game as chancellor. But Dat Fox, a citizen, managed to succeed them. The next game Cloud shocked the table with their win from out of nowhere. In the third game the exile Incog•neato led the beasts to victory.

I think we've 'solved' Cross Bronx Expressway. Three way tie therefore we all won. 1970s and 1980s, by the end the South Bronx was nearly a utopia. CC: @nbsp1618.bsky.social

final board state from a 70s & 80s game, showing zero losses, massive budget surplusses for public and community, and population cubes almost exactly matching infrastructure.

@aclu.org is sending me spam donation requests "in solidarity with" SPLC. All the money appears to go to ACLU. Really?

ACLU email:
David –

Yesterday, U.S. Department of Justice officials announced that a grand jury in Montgomery, Alabama, returned an indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

I'll be clear: The investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center is yet another example of the Trump administration's extreme attempts to silence its critics.

This administration's continued weaponization of the Justice Department to target organizations speaking out against its agenda is anti-American behavior harkening back to the McCarthy era.

We at the ACLU stand in solidarity with the Southern Poverty Law Center.
The SPLC's work fighting hate, racism, and injustice in the American South has played a critical role in strengthening the civil rights of millions of Americans.

While the Trump administration may not agree with the SPLC's civil rights mission or work, its efforts to target the organization are fundamentally wrong.

This attack against the Southern Poverty Law Center is a direct threat to the values that make America great.

In this time of unprecedented peril for our democracy, we urge all people of good conscience to join us as we stand in support of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Together,

Anthony D. Romero
Pronouns: He, him, his
Executive Director, ACLU

Also our friend gave us these soy-sauce dishes for games, and Daybreak has benefited the most from them. Thanks, friend!

Daybreak decisive victory! turn 3 drawdown, just two temperature bars - 1.4 degrees C. Europe zeroed out their factory emissions on the first turn. Thanks to Industrial Emissions Reductions Investments, China was able to immediately to the same. @mattleacock.bsky.social @baddeo.bsky.social

Meanwhile, in the popularity contest for People's Favor, the Exiles were generally pulling ahead, but we Imperials would occasionally nab the PF, and since we had the Secret Testament these see-saw exchanges would generally loot-drop 🪙 off only their mats and onto the map.

Dave Morse@dave-morse· Mar 12

We devised a clever plan with the Chancellor depowering the Brass Army through Ward of Silence, and then the Fearsome General campaigning for it.

Dave Morse@dave-morse· Mar 12

Exiles had the edge with their favor/secret economy, so they generally held the People's Favor. Imperials had to pry the Brass Army away from them, or else we'd lose on relic count...

Played boardgames with 9 people this weekend - 12 games: LotR:Duel for Middle Earth LotR:Fate of the Fellowship Magical Athlete Railroad Tiles (x4) Yokohama Res Arcana Azul (x2) Arcs

We're watching the theatrical Return of the King, and it's shocking to me how bad it is. Denethor feels random and slapstick, since they cut 80% of the palantir. Abruptly changing POV away from Theoden's death. They set up The Last Battle in about 100 seconds of dialogue. It all feels so amateur.

So chuffed for _Free Stars: Children of Infinity_! I have such fond memories of playing Star Control II with my cousins. Looking forward to playing this new chapter with my nerfs. @pistolshrimpgames.com
