They’re saying it’s the best way to build a navy: as small a number of the most extremely expensive hubris ships as you can make. They’re saying it’s the most missile-proof fleet of all time, Chinese missiles will be afraid to sink it. Fire photon torpedoes, Mr Sulu

These buildings in Canterbury look like they are made of brick. But they aren't. Can you spot the giveaway?

You’re playing football with the boys when you were a kid. If you score, you go through to the next “round”. If you didn’t score, you were out. What did you call it?

@Al_Joe_K Home economics was part of my curriculum when I was at school and we did exactly all of what you say. If we could do that when I was at school, we can do it now.

Without wishing to indulge in hyperbole, but how evil is a developed society that accepts hungry children, a government which doesn't see a key remit of its administration to ensure kids have access to cheap, wholesome food.
Saul Staniforth@SaulStaniforth

A teacher in Liverpool explains how kids are coming to school hungry & she describes the impact that has All primary school kids in Wales Scotland & London get free school meals but Labour refuses to do the same in England. No money for hungry kids but billions more for war

@langtoneagle Idk. Don't ask the gods to murder people. Don't wish for your own people to die. Don't value status and things over human life.

i'm deeply curious what the global response to duskmourn is gonna be. all of these tropes are absolutely American pop culture, and i'm curious if they'll resonate at all. not to mention stuff like the punny names or movie reference flavor texts that won't translate well

Just as the French used to hang an Admiral occasionally 'pour enourageŕ les autres'... Locking up a property developer from time to time might well have a useful impact on the amount of commercially convenient combustion we see in Glasgow.

'A familiar scene. Huge clouds of smoke wafting into the city centre as flames lick ferociously at the roof of a treasured building... 'Another beautiful piece of Glasgow’s built heritage left to wreck and ruin.' heraldscotland.com/politics/holyr… @marissaamayy1 (1/3)

Sigh. So I've managed to catch COVID (it's been moving through my house over the past week), so that may delay the blog post and/or the Patreon update, since I have some other less flexible things that need to get done. Blegh.

Pearl of Wisdom? More like Pearls of Lutra (which I'd bet money was also the source of the name of the most notable otter in magic)

Right. First, a disclaimer: this is all based on some extremely sketchy googling, with everything that entails. So don’t @ me, as the saying used to have it. That said, let’s look at the national birds of all the countries competing in Euro2024.
