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...
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
"They Live" glasses, but evil and in-reverse: they allow ICE to ID people with facial recognition and gait analysis. Ooof. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...
Deep Thought: it's a shame there isn't a unicode character of a stegosaurus.
@aclu.org is sending me spam donation requests "in solidarity with" SPLC. All the money appears to go to ACLU. Really?
I'll see your "are we the baddies?" and raise you "are we the Decepticons?" - Fly around in F-15s: check - Always raiding to steal energy: check
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
Clearing hundred year old mines in peacetime takes decades. We're boned.
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.
We devised a clever plan with the Chancellor depowering the Brass Army through Ward of Silence, and then the Fearsome General campaigning for it.
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
