Verbiage for trick taking games in this political era (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I haven’t played a trick taking games in ages. Probably around 10 years or so. Growing up we’d play all sorts of trick taking games in my family including hearts, spades, and pinochle. I played some online Bridge games in the early days of the internet. I played euchre with an ex-girlfriend (and was warned to NEVER steal the deal with her family like I commonly did when playing amongst friends). But in the last decade they just haven’t made it to my table. Part of that is I have so many differen

Read excerpt
In my passion for particular subjects, I can occasionally get … enthusiastic… in my criticism. And in my enthusiasm I sometimes forget all the positives that an individual or organization brings.

So it’s helpful for me to ask myself “Do I want to go through the next few years with Daily Kos, or without it?” The ability to write on this platform is a privilege. Not because I fear getting banned, but because Da
Working towards a language of Climate Security (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Political discourse concerning climate change has been so far dictated by the oil companies.

This means that climate news frequently gets the absolute bare minimum of mention in the corporate media and on liberal sites gets resigne
“Should I stay or should I go?” - 2026 version (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To flee or to stay and fight? That is the question many of us are asking and many more have already made their choice. This is a difficult article for me to write as I would like to do justice to both sides but it is very easy for me to slip into defensiveness as I have already left. I am writing this article as I have written a few articles about moving to Europe and in every comment section so far at least one person has expressed their commitment to stay and fight and for good reasons. I have
