I need an estimate of costs and I need it quickly. It also needs to be right.
Hmmm, not more than a million pounds.
What? That's way too high!
You wanted an estimate for something and you wanted it right and you wanted it?
Yes!
Well, I estimate it'll cost less than a million.

Shaking my head - one of my team decided to visit Palestine - fully veiled, and unsurprisingly as soon as they arrived in Israel - they were detained and subsequently deported.

Thinking about WW2 today and the way it is positioned. This was not a war against fascism generally - it's a useful framing - but if Hitler was not expansionist, I do wonder if anything would have been done?
If he'd only gone to war with Russia??

Look ...Noel Skum is not the world's first trillionaire - it's a big publicity stunt and he stands little chance of making it.
The Cult of Skum is the cult of bloviating fools!

Enjoyed the Secret Maps exhibition but.... considering it was sponsored by Wayland Games, there was no RPG related stuff...I was hoping for some fantasy maps...

Off to the British Library today to see if they have any of the classic @jimjimthegrim.bsky.social maps in their Secret Maps exhibition. I'm sure that they must have - how can it be an exhibition about maps with an example of the master at work.

Alt History idea....When Guy Fawkes is caught, he manages to blow the gunpowder up anyway. The resultant chaos allows the rest of the plotters to get away easily. And paint James as cursed...his father was blown up, this is a warning from God..he is forced to relax the prohibitions on Catholics. Or

Jehovah's Witnesses knocked on the door yesterday and said 'We'd like to talk to you about the Bible'; I looked at them and said 'I don't think you do, have a lovely day, I don't want to ruin it'. They left looking somewhat bemused.
For context, been looking at late additions to the New Testament

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Why is Vivienne Westwood in the middle??
Today is the 79th anniversary of a perfectly ordinary party at the Officers’ Club of the Army War College in Washington, D.C., to mark the disbanding of the task force that organised atomic bomb tests in the Pacific, at which the attendees enjoyed a perfectly ordinary cake

What he should do is Excommunicate Vance and declare him 'Vitandus' - that is one who should be avoided. He can't excommunicate Trump - but he should still declare him 'Vitandus'....
EXCOMMUNICATE VANCE
BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty.
“They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”
