@peterdrake came home early today so we could learn Near and Far and give it a try. He even built a fire for ambiance.

It's great! The art design is beautiful. The rules are clearly written with an excellent index. There's a bit of setup, but the pace was snappy and it didn't take as long as I feared it might.

Even though Peter trounced me 59 vs. 24 thanks to TWO completed trade routes, better artifacts, and faster camp building, I'm really excited to play the full Campaign game.

I remain a supporter of CDA 230 and I sincerely hope it is not gutted after tomorrow’s argument.

I understand why the focus is on whether sites like Facebook get “out of jail,” but for my clients who can’t afford a full-blown content liability fight over a specious content claim — student groups for messages on their listservs, community groups on social media platforms, users sharing content from other users — it is often the only law that we can use to put forth an effective defense.

Why give Meta $12-$15 a month when you could pay only $1 instead to support my occasional jokes about how hilariously incompetent Meta is? Also, I post pictures of my cats. Just look at them. Mark Zuckerberg doesn't post pictures of cats. If anything, Zuckerberg eats cats. I have no proof of this but we all know it's true.
