Will St**ncil commenting on an economic metaphor about Terry Pratchett - could there be a more Bsky catnip of a discourse? All we need to do is throw in idk Dr Who and the ethics of Nintendo or something, and it'll be full bingo
Are you politically savvy enough not to say something that would allow your name to appear in the same headline as the word "neo-Nazi"? Congratulations! You're sharper than at least two UK party leaders

real halfway point of the horror movie vibes in my Russia book as Yezhov has finally been demoted and shuffled out :) only to be replaced by his deputy, some "Beria" chap?

My friends were begging me to teach them Catan and tonight was the night. At the start they asked why it took so long for me to teach them, and I said "I had to make sure your relationship would survive" And they laughed...
