Oh god you're right.

Illustrated poster of the tower of Cirith Ungol in the land of Mordor. In the foreground are a bunch of orcs and goblins with acid green rim-light holding swords and axes and pole-arms. In the middle ground is a narrow bridge leading between two grotesque statues into the multi tiered tower that is lit with sickly green lights. Below it leading into the plateau of Gorgoroth are the hills of the Ethel Duath. In the distance is Orodruin and Ered Lithui. The text at the top is white flame like black metal lettering with the words CIRITH UNGOL. Nine green stars float above them. Plumes of smoke and ash fill the sky. A tiny shadow is grossing the bridge. Lord of the Rings. Tolkien. Prints coming soon.

Remember remember! Some very blurry printing on this highly sectarian pamphlet about 'the 5th of November' printed in 1679

All’s Fair review – Kim Kardashian’s divorce drama is fascinatingly, existentially terrible Read more Text from the Guardian: Lucy Mangan gives Kim Kardashian’s new Disney+ legal drama All’s Fair zero stars, and says "in the entire 204-year-old history of this publication, only 15 zero-star reviews have ever been written, and All’s Fair is so unremittingly awful it got one of them. These are the other 14, presented here as the Guardian’s Mount Rushmore of crap."

I mean, I see what they mean, but the "in the entire 204-year-old history of this publication, only 15 zero-star reviews have ever been written" is a tad misleading. As if early 19thC Guardian writers were penning "the Manchester Guardian gives Lord Liverpool's new Corn Laws ZERO STARS" articles.

spider tank is a very cool and evocative term but all the ones I like most have four to six legs. I'm a fraud. send me to the mecha hague

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

Clothes of the Common People in Elizabethan and Early Stuart England: A Users Manual, ed. Stuart Peachey, is full of illustrations, commentary and reconstructions of working- and middle-class dress for the period. It's primarily aimed at for reenactors/living history bods but it's v well researched!

GOD what i wouldn't give for a hot aloof wife to run my life. the more aloof the better, frankly

Queen Elizabeth I's in-house alchemist John Dee somehow acquired an obsidian Aztec mirror, which he used for scrying (to talk with angels) with his assistant Edward Kelley.

Eventually, the angels would demand Dee and his wife enter a toxic polycule with Kelley. Gotta watch out for that with angels.

Shaun Maguire & @shaunmmaguire X.com There is a Civil War happening in Sudan In simplest terms it's the Muslim Brotherhood (SAF) backed by Turkey, Iran & Egypt VS RSF, primarily backed by the UAE--they don't want radical Islam to expand As a result the Info War cannons have been aimed at the UAE

Genuinely interesting how quickly so many pro Israel influencers on Twitter pivoted to also being pro RSF

For a small but revelatory example of how D&D's market dominance is exploited, I have literally never bought a 5e product. And yet Drivethrurpg insists on showing me "top DM's Guild" products, whereas every other game is expected to compete in cheapest, newest etc.

WIRED headline reads: Trump's FBI pick Kash Patel Took Up to $5M in Stock from Chinese Ecommerce Giant Shein

$5M in Shein stock is crazy. to put it in perspective, a child would have to work three billion hours in a Shein factory to earn a 1/10000th of this

Worth pointing out how obviously ket-addled and insane he is, but particularly demoralising when he nevertheless has an audience who'll take this as fact. That audience has a line up to the US govt atm. It's affected foreign policy before, like how they came for Khan over the same shit re: London

This is wonderful, but also him petting the bodega cat is a direct challenge to Curtis Sliwa, who would adopt the bodega cat and move it into the mayoral residence if he won. Gauntlets are being thrown down here

when will charlies iii announce his conversion to islam

hmm interesting theory

Very good and insightful thread, and this endorsement is from someone who honestly actually quite likes D&D on balance (in spite of my joshing refrain that you should Play Other Games)

wes streeting takes money from mounjaro. they’re the ones who make these drugs.

he’s deeply corrupt and an absolute sociopath.

he murders trans kids pretty regularly. he literally does not care if children die.
