Postman's been. Have you seen the yellow sign? (Okay, white...)

This is typically superb from Isaac and crew. Way better analysis than many UK chicken littling pods and news stories. But still....concerning.

This is a really interesting thread. Except...the thing about Mainwaring (no 'e') was that he was an obvious fool UNTIL the chips were down. When it came to it--on the barricades, playing the bagpipes, taking on Square, everyone recognises that he IS the leader. So that switch is fascinating...

Movies you've watched six times in a gif

And unlike the locusts, it retreats in confusion...(proverbs 30:27)

Listening for the umpteenth time to Bastardspod do Jack Parsons, LRonHubbard and a whole load of sex magic @iwriteok.bsky.social 's 2nd finest moment (after the drunken Warhammer video) and undoubtedly the GREATEST PODCAST OF ALL TIME Https://podcastaddict.com/behind-the-bastards/episode/137308875

My children are both being helpful and pleasant. Doing the washing up, taking the dog for a walk without being asked...all that stuff. Somethings being planned. There's a 'Daddy, do you mind if....' question coming.

Tina Brown this morning is *blazing* on the mistakes of the Dens over the past four years ('like music fans wanting a return to the Newport Folk Festival in 1958')...and the brutal simplicity of JD Vance.. open.substack.com/pub/tinabrow...?

This reminds me of Ken St Andre (I think?) saying they don't play chess because 'it's a puzzle, not a game'. Try playing someone doing the Catalan and come back to me on 'no fog of war'

I mean the REAL problem here (along with the absence of SDC) is that these lists never include American Gothic. You are NOT telling me that 16 Horsepower or Handsome Family ain't goth...that would be insane.

Junior (the board game player in our family) bought this for me for fathers day. It looks amazing and yet....my brain has never got into a place to understand the rules...this might kick me to do so!

I mean...60kg bench and 110 deadlift in a young man is pretty shit tbh. Nothing 'extreme' about this fitness...

I have had SUCH a fun idea for a scenario. It's just I have another ten to finish in front of it. I really need someone who can actually 'do' stuff while I lie around drimking absinthe and speculating loudly. Just like in my business career.

Not really convinced that new (or even more streamlined) rules are needed. Though the return of the resistance table would be good. Just a version without all of the Gloranthan detail would be nice. Call it something epic and heroic like...like...'Mythras'?

Assumed all the red and white was a tribute to Conclave there..

Major question about the Trump Inperium is whether the succession passes to DJ Jr or to Ivanka. I guess the former will try and bribe the praetorian guards while the latter will do something with poisoned mushrooms. Poor Elon, falling on his sword at Phillippi

Finally caught up with Conclave. A successful spot hidden roll seemed very important to the plot

Doing some family history stuff. All my long-ago ancestors are William, George, Elizabeth...names like that. My beloved has Jedediah and Obadiah. Not fair

Thanks to @drfrancisyoung.bsky.social 's Twilight of the Godlings I have been using the word 'euhemeristic' a LOT today. Sometimes even in relevant situations
