If you just look past his Nazi apologia, fetishism of Nazi weaponry, and entrenched sexism he's probably such a nice dude. Who among us has not ranted about testosterone levels while obsessing over Nazi war medals? Next you'll tell me that dressing up like a Confederate is in poor taste. /s

In a shocking turn of events, a guy called "Stuka Joe" turned out to be a piece of shit. If only he had given us clues about this years and years ago when he chose his screen name.

Always pay attention to how things are framed in Old Hollywood history books. For example, multiple books paint Mildred Harris as an immature spendthrift and bad wife to Charlie Chaplin. Yeah, that’s why adults shouldn’t marry 16 year olds. A teenage girl likes to shop. Horrifying.

Kingdom of Heaven - debrief video with my awesome opponent Sahm. He shared his perspective on the Crusades history, growing up Muslim in Canada, and his scary Halloween costume from when he was a kid (trust me, it's all connected). Oh, and we talked about the game! youtu.be/HGEEkiij3ew

I love academia and academic publishing. I think it’s great to spend four years of my life writing a thesis no one will read, with the ultimate goal of turning it into a book that I will lose money on and barely anyone will read because it’s prohibitively expensive

“The Korean adoptee diaspora of around 200,000 children is thought to be the largest in the world. At the peak in the 1970s and ‘80s, South Korea was sending out babies by the hundreds per month.” apnews.com/article/sout...

Western nations were desperate for Korean babies. Now many adoptees believe they were stolen

Western governments ignored widespread fraud in South Korean adoptions and sometimes pressured the country to keep the kids coming, an investigation led by The Associated Press has found.

If you haven’t yet listened to the Cult of the Old boardgame podcast, gobble up seasons 1 & 2 before Thanksgiving to be ready for the next one just entering production. Also jump on their Discord server to give feedback or discuss specific games featured.
