63game.wales – Great Game of Welsh Politics

pass it on. Diolch o galon. x

It's a great game to play.

Also though, we see it as new way of modelling episodes and plausible scenarios in Welsh politics.

... it includes original, but simple and intuitive, mechanics that rarely seen in board games.
It's a pure strategy game of politics and influence in Wales since Cymdeithas yr Iaith's Pont Trefechan protest of 2 Feb 1963.

63game.wales – Great Game of Welsh Politics

Three years ago today I landed in #HongKong. I wrote about what I discovered, including why I think Hong Kong's story is pivotal to the story of the modern world, here: "Searching For Hong Kong's Soul" https://photography.jm-hoffman.com/Searching-For-Hong-Kong-Soul.html

Searching for Hong Kong's Soul 尋覓香港嘅靈魂

I find it weird. I was thinking about writing a Chrome extension to support it for me. I use them to say how I found a cool thing while giving credit to the original -and also telling my audience why I am boosting it if it's not obvious why they should find it cool from the original post. Otherwise, it's just more work to share the link directly and the original source trail is easily lost. I think we need ways to give credit and share faster on here. 🤷‍♀️

This is, I think true for science mastodon as well. The ability to add a small bit of context to a repost, or a comment about a paper when you boost it is one of the things I really miss here.

I understand the reasoning behind not allowing it, but I think it's mistaken. It's an engineering band-aid on a social problem. if your userbase is toxic enough that the major use of this feature is for dunking, you've got other, bigger problems.
