He never sleeps, the commander. He is floating, floating. He says that he will never die.

The fact that they won't let this man die despite him being in his NINETIES in the show now and already having the previous 2 seasons be about how old he is just so they keep having to pile more ridiculous make-up on him is genuinely one of my favorite things about the show

Posting up on the corner with the boys, sloshing this into our faces. Pass the wine brother
Clay goblet from Early Bronze Age Troy.
Known as a depas goblet after the Homeric ‘depas amphikypellon', recent residue analysis shows these two-handled vessels were used for drinking wine some 4,250 years ago!

...and to Tiny Tim, who will NEVER die. He bows to the fiddlers and sashays backwards and throws back his head and laughs deep in his throat and he is a great favorite, Tim. He wafts his cap as he pirouettes under the lamps and hangs his little crutch upon the wall. He says that he will never die.

Quick reminder of the rules for anyone playing Anschützageddon: the objective is to go the whole of Christmas without hearing Ernst Anschütz's 'O Tannenbaum'. Remember, remixes and covers DON'T count. Good luck!

i love writing about crypto crime because these dudes do this constantly
![However, the brothers' Google search history in the weeks after the theft for phrases including "how to wash crypto”, “top crypto lawyers”, “wire fraud statute / wire fraud statue [sic] of limitations”, and “prison or jail worse” suggest that perhaps the brothers had some clue that their actions could be interpreted criminally, as do the brothers' own descriptions of their plan as “sus”.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:exrxvyu6bpoym6mbnctke5tn/bafkreicpwu5pjoddgp2ovmaka2kfu6d6uc7uijrld5a4hovz5qpaqlkk5u@jpeg)
