@olivvybee You can solve the second problem with Watch It Played videos, but the first one is indeed a challenge. Maybe some kind of voting app?
@olivvybee But that's the beauty of board games! You can concentrate on the board and almost ignore the other people. A game that some disparage as "multiplayer solitaire" could be perfect.
I just peer-reviewed a forensic analysis in a case.
The suspect mailed a package with a hidden Apple AirTag in it to a victim's old home address.
The package was forwarded to her new (and formerly safe) address....
Might be good to warn DV victims of unexpected mail.

Britain’s Royal Navy is so short-staffed that they don’t have any officers qualified to replace the outgoing admiral in charge of their nuclear submarine fleet.

Feeling climate despair? @SolarpunkPrompts is quite good. It won't tell you how to take down predatory capitalism, but but it will at least get you thinking about what a sustainable future might look like.
THE PLAN
-----
Step 1: Finally make football a popular American sport.
Step 2: Convince Travis Kelce, the greatest tight end in history, to catch many passes.
Step 3: Secretly influence his team, who haven't been to a Superbowl since 2023, to get to the Superbowl in 2024.
And now at last, we can reveal the FINAL PHASE of our dastardly plan: Have his girlfriend Taylor remind folks of their various civil duties.
Yep. This is definitely what we, the secret evil cabal of communist liberals who control everything, want.
I wuz robbed.
More specifically, I was tricked by a phone-phisher pretending to be from my bank, and he convinced me to hand over my credit-card number, then did $8,000+ worth of fraud with it before I figured out what happened. And *then* he tried to do it again, a week later!

Should you keep reading / watching / listening to this thing?
Are you enjoying it? Yes.
Is there some extrinsic reason to consume it (e.g., education, you need the information to complete some other task, etc.)? Yes, unless there's some better way to achieve the same goal.
Did you just barely start it? Maybe give it a little longer.
Are you almost finished? What the heck, cross the finish line.
Otherwise? YEET!
There is a whole genre of video that consists of model railroad hobbyists with realistic set ups doing video from the front of the train (making the world seem to scale) and their cats terrorizing the trains like the cutest, fuzziest kaiju.
