My grandma turns 96 today. I texted her and she immediately responded.

She didn’t have indoor plumbing when she was born. What must she think of the technology in her hands today?

1. The Constititon is the supreme law in the USA.

2. The Supreme Court is in charge of interpreting the Constitution and telling other branches what they must do to remain in compliance with it.

Live today from #ProtospielChicago! If you're into #GameDesign, you will benefit yourself by the #Protospiel series of design conventions which are mostly clustered around the Midwest, but slowly spreading beyond that. I will attempt to give updates periodically about the games I play here, with permission of the designers.
