Lou Zocchi, to me: "When I got the Zocchihedron I went to a dance. I showed it to a lady and said, 'Look at this, it's a 100-sided die.' She examined it from all corners and said, 'Y'know, if you were to cut off and throw away 94 of these sides, you'd have a shape somebody could use!'" #RIPLouZocchi
This was great.
It is insane that this is legal. Between this and the $342 million he spent in the 2020 presidential election, Tom Steyer has spent nearly half a BILLION dollars trying to become the two most powerful executives in US government.
Seems like a nice guy, though.
In addition to the obvious improvement for Hungary, it is delightful to see Trump, Meloni, Bibi, Putin and Xi’s guy lose, and JD Vance continue to be the popularity leech he will always be.
Peter Magyar is no liberal democrat. He’s got racist views and a violent history. But he is not a tyrant like Viktor Orban is. With luck, Orban will spend the rest of his limited time in prison. Godspeed, Hungary.
Based on tonight's results in Wisconsin and Georgia, I don't think we've yet seen 50% of the GOP House retirements for the year.
Basically every Tuesday this year, up to and including the midterms, I would like there to be an election that we win by a million billion miles.
I do like tacos.
The four people with the most dangerous job in the universe seem far safer than every other citizen of Earth today.
Pam Bondi is looking ahead to her stay at the John N. Mitchell Suite at the Federal Prison Camp in Montgomery, Alabama.
Because it's April Fools, I decided to revisit the "Prankster's Paradise" Games magazine article I wrote in 2003 about being a professional prankster (and why I view April Fools Day as "amateur night"). If you'd like to read it, here it is.
I am delighted you are finally sleeping.
This has always gone well for us in the past.
Weirdly, the New York Times thinks "Israel" begins with the letter J.
Don’t waffle! Do what Cap would do and go to your No Kings protest today!
Paul McCartney's upcoming album is called "The Boys of Dungeon Lane," and I'm pretty sure this is my shot to work with a Beatle. I'm thinking 1960s Liverpool outdoor geomorphs.
As the former creative director on Wizards' Harry Potter tabletop games, I feel it's useful to analyze the new HBO series trailer in depth. Here are my conclusions:
Trans rights are human rights.
An excellent summary by No1 of what is happening in Iran under the only conditions possible: with a stiff drink in hand. no01.substack.com/p/march-19-2...
This was a great puzzle!
Fetterman’s 108-point swing among the people that elected him is a Benedict Arnold-level shift.
I know, right?
Fetterman is doing tremendous damage to the reputation of the Big Oaf community. Big Oafs did not ask for this kind of toxic representation. Now we must lumber back into the shadows, hiding under bridges wearing our most somber JNCO jean shorts, drowning in both our sorrows & voluminous denim
Today's @nytimes.com crossword by Adam Vincent has one of the best reveals I've ever seen in a puzzle. Worth taking a look if you can.
Folks know me from Seattle, but I lived 10 years in Evanston/Edgewater, so in a slightly different life I'd vote in the Illinois 9th. If I did, I'd vote for @katmabu.bsky.social Kat Abughazaleh. We need activists who aren't afraid to use all the tools to end Trump and Trumpism.

Following up the Manastorm Magic auction, Jonathan Tweet has posted our design document for the Magic RPG as a VR experience. This auction also benefits Planned Parenthood. Contact @jonathantweet.bsky.social if you want to bid on it.
I'm posting this both because I think it's good advice for my fellow Illinoisans and also because a dark money group is *bribing influencers* to bash @katmabu.bsky.social. Which seems kinda not okay, so I felt some counterbalance was useful. www.ms.now/news/kat-abu...
