A Fool and a Tool: Trump Is Spreading Russian Disinformation Three years after the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Trump is not just siding with Putin, he’s circulating Putin’s lies.

After years of yelling that the “Russia hoax” was a witch hunt, Trump is now openly colluding with Vladimir Putin in both narrative and action.

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

It Was an Ambush Today marked one of the grimmest days in the history of American diplomacy.

Today was a grim, terrible day for the United States and the cause of democracy. Putin, along with other dictators around the world, can finally look at Trump with confidence and think: one of us.

Very glad to see @nellraban.com featured today on Rappler Gaming to discuss her experiences and contributions to the latest installment of Sid Meier's Civilization! I'm a dyed in the wool series fan so when I learned she was on the dev team, I was very excited to suggest our editor talk to her.

Erroneous Google AI answer saying (again incorrectly) that In the board game "Here I Stand", Henry can ask the Pope for a divorce as early as the first round of diplomacy when he moves his marital status marker to the "Ask for a Divorce" space on the Wives Track; this is typically done by playing the "Six Wives" card during setup. Key points about asking for a divorce in "Here I Stand": Early access: The "Ask for a Divorce" space is accessible from the beginning of the game. Card requirement: To initiate the divorce request, Henry usually needs to play the "Six Wives" card. Pope's decision: Once on the "Ask for a Divorce" space, Henry can then attempt to negotiate with the Pope to grant him an annulment.

Here I Stand rule, Human vs Machine test. Human on BGG who answered got the rule correct:

"The very earliest you can ever ask for a divorce is diplomacy of Turn 3, since you can't play the home card to advance the marker to the "Ask for Divorce" box on the track until Turn 2.”

Google AI, wrong!

I fully approve of your daughter's dismay
