Want to unplug and play some games with the family, but not sure what to get? You might say I have some experience in the matter with something like 500 games in my collection.

Here are 10 great family board games to put under the tree this Christmas:

🧵 1. Dorfromantik - 1-6 players, 20-30 minutes - Cooperatively build a city together and unlock new tiles and rules for next time. Super addicting - my most-played game this year!

The new Mass Effect board game has pronouns on its character sheets. The designer called anyone who complained about it a "manbaby". I'll be returning my copy, and I rated it a 1 on BGG.

I was then immediately kicked off the website I've been a member of since 2012 because of my religious beliefs that differ from the extremist gender ideology of the designer. Why the bigotry and exclusion, @BoardGameGeek?

Gatekeep your hobbies. Keep the woke extremists out. They will ruin your hobby in the name of "inclusion" and then kick you out and tell you you aren't welcome.

As a guy who owns an unhealthy number of board games, I'm often asked for recommendations for good "intro games" or fun light games the whole family can enjoy. Here's a few recommendations:

🧵 1. Sonar - This is like Battleship, but good. 1-2 players each man a sub and have to use deduction to draw out where they might be on a map. You then get to blow each other up.

2-4 players, 20 minutes

Disney's LGBTQ push is just the natural consequence of the company's existentialist, self-centered narratives over the past 3 decades. You can draw a direct line from Ariel and Aladdin to pushing "queer stories" and "gender-nonconforming characters." Kids raised on the idea that they are "the one they've been waiting for" and that ultimate meaning is defined by the individual are ripe for preying on by radical identity politics.

This all boils down to the age-old "it's not satire if I disagree with it" argument. There isn't really a hard and fast distinction between satire and sarcasm, either: satire uses sarcasm and irony to make its point.

"Satire takes a more objective posture" -- huh? Satire eviscerates foolishness. By its very nature it deconstructs and points out hypocrisy, folly, and foolishness. It can't be objective in any meaningful sense.

Just in case you thought wokeness wasn't coming for your niche hobby, a BoardGameGeek user asked gamers to stop saying "dudes on a map" (describing light wargames like Risk) because it's not inclusive to women. I replied "No" and got moderated for it.

Gatekeep your hobbies. It's so batshoot insane. A rando can come in and demand we stop using a term we've been using for years, and I get dinged for being "dismissive." Yeah, I think I'm allowed to be dismissive at a ridiculous request like that. I'm from California; "dudes" means everybody!

Facebook is penalizing @TheBabylonBee for "coordinating harm and promoting crime" for our satirical post MAKING FUN OF THOSE WHO RIOT. We appealed the decision but were told it was unlikely we'd receive a response. Drax the Destroyer strikes again babylonbee.com/news/facebook-…

The left is getting better at comedy and it's making righties nervous A quick punchup: "People fleeing the Trump administration claim they did not see the fascism in the regime until now. You might say they're not-sees."

It's still a bad joke, but now at least the premise is only one part instead of two and the punchline is related to the premise.

We are going to run through the most prophetic Chesterton quotes on @TheBabylonBee podcast tomorrow! Send me your favorites! "The modern man in revolt has become practically useless for all purposes of revolt. By rebelling against everything he has lost his right to rebel against anything."

Facebook seems to have deleted @TheBabylonBee's post saying Senator Hirono wanted to weigh ACB against a duck for "violating our Community Standards." We requested a review but they haven't gotten back to us. We finally tell a third conservative joke and they delete it. Though we stole this one.
