Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei killed, senior Israeli official says Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who turned the country into a powerful anti-U.S. force and extended its military influence across the Middle East while crushing repeated domestic unrest, was killed in Israeli and U.S. strikes, a senior Israeli official told Reuters on Saturday.

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image β€” file 468 β€” likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

We created a searchable database with all 20,000 files from Epstein’s Estate Easily find every mention of Trump, Clinton, blackmail, and potential sex crimes in the thousands of private messages between Epstein and his close associates.

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate.

Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents.

Those were perfectly vague in just the right way. Thank you!

Side note, fan of your work! Always respectfully jealous of game devs, let alone game writers, let ALONE game writers for funny games!

Very yes! I've been on my desktop off and on today staring at these godforsaken emojis and cursing the day man put a colon next to a closed parenthesis.

More just thinking out loud, forgive me, but an idea I had was taking the emoji in a witnesses' name and apply it to the various raddles where an emoji currently is, but using what the hint "would" be. A "LIQUID" when it gets DE VIL/BELL/BROWN

...which that feels too juvenile. Argh.

02.11.2025 01:41 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

I was also thinking of taking the last names and applying it to someone else's emoji puzzle ("Drop the outside letters of XXXXX to get a 🌎 city (familiarly)" feels like it's something?) but again, getting lost in the sauce. I appreciate even that help, man, thank you!

So far, what I have is that each Raddle has an emoji, not to mention that each name *seems* to clue to a different emoji (SMILEY -> face? BROWN -> poop emoji?). Keying what letter out of each one after Sandy said that you have to solve all seven raddles first? Oh boy.

So incredibly jealous! Do you have anything, a wisp of a hint, a vibe of a clue, that could be wafted my way? Because holy fuck I'm so lost
