    All the late night hosts came together to start a podcast on order to help support their crews during the writer's strike where they cannot work. I thought I'd spread the word since they've come out with 2 episodes so far and it's pretty funny.

    I don't support Spotify personally but I didn't find a personal website for the podcast.

    I bought a plastic travel board off Amazon a while ago and now it's my main board. I rarely take out my nice one because it's so big.

    If you can get someone to play connect 4 you should be able to get them to play Boop. Approach it like it's fun rather than in depth. Also making the sounds makes it super fun!

    Boop! I've been playing Boop! It's a quick abstract strategy game where you play as cats on a bed pushing each other around. The idea is to align 3 of your cats in any orientation while preventing your opponent from doing the same. It's both fun and strategic.

    Also shameless plug for my brother who just published his first game with his partner called Smug Owls. It's a party game where you compose riddles and have to vote for the best answer. I'm super proud of them.

    I combine this with CloudFront and and Route53 so I can get a domain name. I pay $0.50 a month for it and it's available around the world. No one goes there but it makes me happy.

    Seeing as even the Wall Street Journal is acknowledging corporate profits as a contributing factor it's unlikely that rising wages is the issue since the scale of profits vs wage increases have been growing at vastly different rates.
