It's lies all the way down...

New what now?

That sucks!

I've been on the lookout for a nice wooden set with weighted pieces, but they tend to be so expensive.

Hell, chess is huge right now, and it's over 1500 years old.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of decisions being made that I strongly disapprove of, but I just want to caution that we have a tendency to overwhelm online conversations and completely lose perspective.

It should! It's allowed me to play so many games that are hard to find or expensive these days.

As Americans, we're really good at airing out our political dirty laundry on the world stage, as well as taking every item in the news to its most extreme conclusion (especially in online circles that are too homogeneous in their political leanings).

I just try to cut through all the noise and keep perspective.
