Thanks for this list. I was only aware of a fewer-than-fingers-on-one-hand number of board game charities, and this enlightened me to some more I wasn't familiar with.

Oh, and your support of said charities and the entertainment you provided was great as well.

4 panel comic

Panel 1: 
Red Guy looking way way too happy yells โ€œHey Guys! Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?โ€
Blue Guy next to him calmly says โ€œShhhโ€

Panel 2: 
Blue Guy tenderly puts his arms around Red Guy and says โ€œYou donโ€™t have to do thisโ€

Panel 3: 
Blue Guy still holds Red Guy tightly and repeats โ€œYou donโ€™t have to do this every yearโ€. Red Guy begins to break.

Panel 4: 
Red Guy dissolves into Blue Guyโ€™s embrace, sobbing. He finally feels the weight of Christmas Discourse lifting from his shoulders. He is finally free.

Before anyone mansplains swastika usage prior to 1940: Yes, you are *technically* correct. In modern-day Western culture, however, the symbol has been co-opted by Nazi/similar-minded people as "white power" symbology, like how various hand gestures mean different things among different cultures.

Most of Trump's supporters identify as "Conservative Christians".

Which of those two words don't you understand the meaning of?

Alestorm killed it last night at a post-Louder Than Life concert at Headliners here in Louisville.
They're one of my favorite live acts right now.

A comic strip titled Lion and Gazelle #21. A lion and a gazelle are sitting at a table playing Senet. The lion suddenly looks distressed and says he has made a terrible discovery: "Board games are the medium of the oppressor!" The gazelle, surprised, asks what he means. The lion explains that board games make following rules seem fun and teach people to think in zero-sum ways. The crow adds that even house rules are frowned upon by the community. In the final panel, the lion exclaims, "We are the baddies!" while the gazelle looks uncertain.

The Best Burger in Every State Whether thick and juicy, piled high with toppings, or oozing with cheese, the best burger in each state proves nothing hits the spot quite like the classic dish.

Nice! Kentucky's is barely a mile from my house, and I can vouch that M&BB is amazing.

Am I just "boomering", or does anyone else long for the days before OTP verification?

Your fireworks can instill panic in wildlife, causing mothers to abandon their babies, birds exhibiting life-threatening behavior, and others being too disoriented to find their way home. Fish and waterfowl also die from ingesting firework debris that makes its way into lakes and ponds.

Celebrate Independence Day, but perhaps consider an alternative way than fireworks.
