More On The Baby Bust
The hypothesis: “something” is causing a drastic reduction in the number of babies being born in the US. In my last post, I demonstrated that the numbers for Hawaii in June are anomalously low. The state of North Dakota reports a similarly troubling trend. But we are not climate...
Birthing Pains – Hawaiian Kine
Prompted by this post discussing the situation in North Dakota, I pulled the birth numbers for my home state of Hawaii. This is public data made available by the Department of Health and presented online here (for now). That number for June of 2022 is staggering. That is a single...
Reconciliation Status: Failed
Thanks in large part to Canada’s Orwellian styled Truth and Reconciliation Committee, which has nothing to do with either truth or reconciliation (as these committees always do) the Holy Father has embarked upon A fruitless journey to the land of the maple leaf. Let me remind you of one...
Modron Problems
*be me *sit down to log on to modern technology >That is not your password. Would you like to reset it? Not really, but ok. *gets text, enters code, enters old password* >You cannot use your old password. ._. Fine, here is a whole new one. Great! Now you...
Take the W
At last, our long national nightmare is over.Our long local nightmare continues, as Friday’s decision overturning Roe only allows individual States to do the right thing. It does not compel any states, nor FedGov itself to do the right thing. The fight is not yet ended, and even as...
Happy Father’s Day
Keep it up, fellas! The world little understands, nor appreciates, how much you do. Nor does it realize how bad off it would be without you. Do it anyway. You’re doing God’s work, and even your worst attempts do more to make the world a better place than the...
Enter the BROSR Matrix
Let’s walk back some of the derision that I heaped on Matrix Games last week, shall we? I’ve been reading up on the subject because somebody smarter than me recommended them. Also, they look like a style of gaming that has something to offer the #BROSR in the way...
The Mouse Is Roaring
It just keeps happening! The #BROSR: Giving you tomorrow’s D&D headlines…today! Several months ago, friend of the blog Mike DiBaggio interviewed friend of the blog Rick Stump on YouTube to discuss the latter’s 42-year old AD&D campaign. It’s a great interview. So great I’m posting it here for your...
Matrix Lames
The topic of matrix games has been popping up on my radar a lot lately. For those of you who are uncertain about the term, allow me a brief introduction. A matrix game is a talky talky exercise adjudicated by a referee and structured in such a way as...
Thar’s Doin’s Afoot
The #Trollopulous MegaVerse is the most interesting thing to happen to D&D in decades. Those glorious edgelording bastards in the #BROSR found a way to reinvigorate a hobby that had plateaued and they did it by taking a game everyone owns but doesn’t play and, for the first time...
