Here are a bunch of ramblings about football, the Super Bowl, and America in general. Sports, both watching and playing, are one of the oldest and most revered human traditions. The Aztecs had their own Super Bowl. At the end, they sacrificed the losers. Sports is serious business!

A bunch of rambling about D&D, adaptations, rules, and complexity. Just as writing is almost always improved by editing it down, just about any game system can be improved by chopping out a few rules. As the old writer's advice goes, "Kill your darlings." A lot more about Baldur's Gate 3 will come over the next few weeks.

But there was limitless time for celebs to get onstage and ramble, as well as the lamest Muppet sketch ever created. The winners ran up to the stage, grabbed their statues, and barely had time to take a breath before the "Get off the stage" music started playing. Honestly, it was MEAN.

She will ramble on about the line of succession, and make a rock-solid sounding case that she absolutely is owed this throne above anyone else. Daenerys is deposed I think she will only hold the throne for a few minutes, if even that long. She will give an angry, impassioned speech about how she DESERVES the throne because of her bloodline.

Trump will easily decimate him on this, probably just letting Biden ramble and get lost in a point and jump in with “Joe do you need a break? A person with his kind of mental decline is not a good choice for President of the United States, to put it lightly. I know you’re not all there.” Yes, I recognize that’s rich coming from Trump.
