Sam struggled with his own weariness and he took Frodo’s hand; and there he sat silent till deep night fell. Then at last, to keep himself awake, he crawled from the hiding place and looked out. The land seemed full of creaking and cracking and sly noises, but there was no sound of voice or of foot.

What empire did Sparta have? Sparta's military existed mostly to keep their slave population under control. They hegemony after the Peloponnesian War lasted only 30 years. They then got obliterated by the Macedonians, turning their town into a tourist attraction for the Romans.

Today's a very opportune time for Amani lore lol, apparently they added an additional Zul'Aman lore tablet to the Midnight Lore Hunter achievement.
This might be the longest lore book I've seen in the game, with a VERY extensive chronicling of Zul'Aman's history via Zul'jin. 🧵

We built a state-of-the-art water mill. But we built it on a stream with not enough water. So we made the former mill workers carry buckets of water to make sure it runs. This is the future.
I see the issue. When we said we would replace human workers with machines you assumed the machines would work. That's on you

a lot of PM work is harassing people until they do their fucking jobs and sending invites. This sounds like AI could do it but I don't give a shit about ignoring the AI, I do care about the PM being disappointed I haven't sent the deliverable.

Is it a good sign when Iowa's leading Dem candidate for governor ( @robsandia.bsky.social ) is using center-right consultant speech? Again we're fighting over the middle rather than appealing to anyone left of Vilsack. You're going to lose my vote. And what the hell is an "Everyday Iowan"?

“Oh, did a sportsball happen?” I whisper smugly from my vantage point on a distant cliff, the sounds of celebration in the village far below just barely audible over the lonely wind whipping my tattered cloak
