Had a terrific day at #SDHistConNorth2026. Played and taught or helped teach Liberty or Death and Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship, and played Confederate Rails! And got to see so many cool people. Thanks to all who are making this a special @sdhistcon.bsky.social event!

I had a great time helping designer Harold Buchanan teach his Liberty or Death game to two tables at #SDHistConNorth2026 this morning! Always an awesome game.

Good morning, St. Paul. Looks like a great day for a board game convention! #sdhistconnorth2026

I didn't think I'd actually get to experience the Twin Cities part of the Twin Cities on this trip, but going with @danbullock.bsky.social to a second location is never a bad idea, especially if it's a tiki bar. Vern's Tiki Bar in Minneapolis was a lot of fun!

This kickoff was excellent! There's always such a great group of attendees at our SDHist events. Thanks to everyone for coming out!

Turns out being a railroad baron can get you a pretty nice house.

I haven't often seen turkeys roaming the streets.

The Minnesota Historical Society is pretty amazing. I even found trains. Great place to check out ahead of #SDHistConNorth2026.

I'm just a little ways from New Orleans. Near the start of the Mississippi rather than the end...

The FIFA World Cup has produced remarkable numbers so far for Fox, Telemundo, and Bell. But how will those numbers change following the hosts' exits? More at Bucholtz Sports Media (free post): andrewbucholtz.com/posts/fifa-w...

Great to see so many of the @sdhistcon.bsky.social board and associates for a lovely pre-convention dinner!

"Trade paused for cap-circumvention investigation" is one I don't remember seeing in quite that form before. (I mean, it probably should have happened with some of the Gretzky trades and more, but I don't recall that happening this way.)

James Dolan is maybe the most real-life version of a ridiculous Batman villain. Complete with his "band" and the levers he pulled to get on The Tonight Show: www.si.com/nba/2018/03/...

Watch: James Dolan's Band Was the Musical Guest on The Tonight ShowJames Dolan's Band, JD and the Straight Shot, performed a song from their new album on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.www.si.com

This is the first time I've ever watched a World Cup match on a flight. What's cool is seeing how many other people are watching the same thing by the reaction to goals.

Well, yeah, usually.

Look at that Rick Neuheisel card!

Delicious Vieux Carré at the airport Cure location before heading to St. Paul for the weekend. Getting #sdhistconnorth2026 off on the right foot. Looking forward to seeing familiar @sdhistcon.bsky.social faces and meeting new ones!

"Every day something happens that is important enough to be at the top of the first page" is a remarkable and accurate insight on the business of journalism. I adore "The Truth."

The media narratives around Lane Kiffin and Jon Sumrall ahead of the College Football Playoff in December are worth some reexamination in light of some recent comments. More at Bucholtz Sports Media (premium post): andrewbucholtz.com/posts/media-...
