I was told online Russian election interference was a hoax. 🤣
Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your CV? Byzantinist: The primary source material for that period has not survived.

Fox News finally included a voter panel to discuss the U.S. Senate race in Michigan. The panel included two Republicans and one Democrat. All three men were some type of political operative. Fox News did NOT disclose the men's background to their viewers. RECEIPTS!

Fred Serval@fredserval.bsky.social · 12h agoOver the last couple of years I've returned to my old habits and started playing Hex and Counter wargames again. I've been quite impressed by the games from the Swedish publisher 3CG, so here is a teach and play of one of their east front games I wanted to share, here is Iskra : youtu.be/-6BYtYAGhig
Zelensky should get the Nobel Peace Prize, if for no other reason than silencing so many fucking trolls in one fell swoop. The level of peace that has already introduced on social media…holy shit.
listen i won’t shed a single tear for kim or any of the women who work for trump, but it remains interesting that only the women in his orbit suffer consequences for being pieces of shit
Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social · 3h agoAP: "A senior U.S. official said Sunday that Trump and Rubio are 'extremely pissed off' by Guilfoyle’s reported conduct and would likely decide on what action to take this week after Monday’s Columbus Day holiday."
Every word of this from @drewmagary.bsky.social. Democrats will likely retake Congress, but what they do next is an open question. That's why it's important for us all to press Democrats -- right now -- to commit to an aggressive agenda of oversight and accountability.

Diane Duane@diane.dianeduane.com · 12h agoMeanwhile, per that sliced brioche I picked up the other day: @kithrup.bsky.social, you were absolutely right: it makes *super* French toast. 😋 ...WARNING, though, that it's really greedy about soaking up the egg&milk/cream mixture.
I think Zekenskyy and Churchill could have worked well together.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 14h agoZelenskyy: "Prices are rising because of the war in the Middle East, the blocking of Hormuz. Everyone understands it. If we want to speak with people fairly, if we want to be clear, if we want to speak with our nations openly, people have to hear reality. Don't play games with people."

The 1e AD&D books were loaded with comics. I'm unsure if a "serious" RPG could get away with that today. Paranoia, sure. It's a silly RPG. But I bet if a new D&D came out tomorrow with joke comics sprinkled throughout, people would outrage at it sending the "wrong message" and not being serious.
