It’s true that I introduced “Darkest Hour” here on this blog in the month of August, but my first post on the site was actually in July. It’s going pretty well over there; I’ve got over sixty articles published, which means I’ve kept up a cadence of over one article a week.

As I posted back in March, this is our project to play as many unplayed games from our large collection as we can this year, with the goal of maybe winnowing it down a little if we can identify games we don’t care for or aren’t even interested in playing at all. First, here’s a couple of… ## [Fast, secure international transfers (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/CwwTL7wSHNtL) _2026-06-30 · **Sponsored**_ Bank transfer, cash pickup, mobile wallet — low fees and real-time tracking ## [When Politics Becomes Religion, We Get Stuck in a Zero-Sum Game](https://drpolly.substack.com/p/when-politics-becomes-religion-we) _2026-06-30 · Polly Young-Eisendrath, PhD · Know Thyself - Polly Young-Eisendrath on Substack_ Truth, Love, and the Golden Rule Go Out the Window and Estrangement Takes Root ## [Carl Jung’s “Basement Tapes” Document His Wisdom About Being Human](https://drpolly.substack.com/p/carl-jungs-basement-tapes-document) _2026-06-24 · Polly Young-Eisendrath, PhD · Know Thyself - Polly Young-Eisendrath on Substack_ What Was Left Out of "Memories, Dreams, Reflections" ## [Couple Therapy: Why It’s So Challenging](https://drpolly.substack.com/p/couple-therapy-why-its-so-challenging) _2026-06-09 · Polly Young-Eisendrath, PhD · Know Thyself - Polly Young-Eisendrath on Substack_ It's Because of "Projective Identification" ## [Back in the Saddle Again](https://stevebarrera.com/back-in-the-saddle-again/) _2026-05-19 · Steve · In The Zeitgeist_ I’m happy to report that I have returned to work at the company I started at in 2023, continuing in a Software Quality Assurance role, and working 100% remote. It’s a career first for me to be rehired at a company where I’ve worked before. I experienced a different kind of onboarding, as I joined meetings where I knew many, if not all, of the people participating, and felt welcomed back. I had… ## [TV Show Review: When We Were Younger](https://stevebarrera.com/tv-show-review-when-we-were-younger/) _2026-04-29 · Steve · In The Zeitgeist_ We’ve been watching and enjoying a show called Younger, which ran from 2015 to 2021, and is now available on Netflix. Succintly put, it’s like a Millennial generation version of Sex and the City. The latter show was based on the writing of Boomer Candace Bushnell (b. 1958), and was about a group of professional women in New York City, played mostly by Gen Xers, who remain fast friends throughout… ## [The Triumphs and Tribulations of Mastering Self - The Old Diary](https://personalevolutionunlimited.substack.com/p/the-triumphs-and-tribulations-of) _2026-04-14 · T.

I am squarely on the liberal/Democratic/blue zone side of the partisan divide. I have voted Democratic since 2004. In 2000 I voted Libertarian (oops) but after the debacle of that election and the subsequent unfolding of the Bush era, I came to the realization that Libertarianism is not a viable political… ## [My AI Sloppy Job Hunt](https://stevebarrera.com/my-ai-sloppy-job-hunt/) _2026-03-24 · Steve · In The Zeitgeist_ I’m still on the job hunt, and finding it tough in this market. Prospects were really dry at the end of last year. I’ve seen a bit of a pick-up now that 2026 is moving along, but still no offer, and only two interviews in front of hiring managers so far, though I apply to a dozen or so jobs a week. It’s a striking contrast to how I was able to quickly land a position after being laid off...

If that were even a thing, I mean. You can peruse our collection on BoardGameGeek:https://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/sbarrera If you see the same game appear more than once in the gallery, that is not a mistake. That means we own an extra copy (or two) of that game. It’s kind of out of control. In the… ## [A History of this Blog in Header Images](https://stevebarrera.com/a-history-of-this-blog-in-header-images/) _2026-02-27 · Steve · In The Zeitgeist_ This month marks the 9th anniversary of this blog. I started it back in February 2017, partly in response to the ongoing political crisis. I had been blogging in the 2000s, back when the “blogosphere” was young, and then taken a break. But the situation in 2016-17 compelled me to get back into the habit of commenting on current events. You remember what was going on. What’s still going on. I… ## [Point a Domain, Start a Pit (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/FqQpgVtxZGuH) _2026-02-27 · **Sponsored**_ Point any domain to a blacked-out, poison-green coming-soon page with an email waitlist. ## [THE ALCHEMY OF MIND and BODY: True Love](https://personalevolutionunlimited.substack.com/p/the-alchemy-of-mind-and-body-true) _2026-02-12 · T.

Garfield, ended by an assassin’s bullet six months after his inauguration. Garfield was famously a dark horse candidate, unexpectedly nominated because of divisions within the Republican party. This is covered in the series, as is his brief Presidency and its immediate aftermath.… ## [In Search of Solidarity](https://stevebarrera.com/in-search-of-solidarity/) _2026-01-29 · Steve · In The Zeitgeist_ I was in a thrift store the other day (there are tons around here where we live in semi-rural Pennsylvania) and noticed that it still had the spots on the floor for standing in line while social distancing. Stickers to mark where to stand so you kept apart from the other shoppers, to minimize the risk of spreading COVID-19. Well worn, as they have been there since presumably 2020, trod on by… ## [THE INNER WARRIOR](https://personalevolutionunlimited.substack.com/p/the-inner-warrior) _2026-01-20 · T.

If I think it’s true, I already believe it. But if I don’t think that belief is true, how can I still ‘believe’ it? How do I make it true in my own mind? I have a few ideas for this - but nothing that works reliably yet. At this point, I want to turn... ## [Precious Silence In-between World](https://personalevolutionunlimited.substack.com/p/precious-silence-in-between-world) _2025-11-12 · T.
