Ah, alas I am old, so I didn't run the late shift tables, and that reduced the number of games that I could reasonably run. My choice, I get it, but still it left me working all the daylight hours. π€£π€£

Have nothing but good things to say about the organisers and the rewards, but I wasn't getting to enjoy the convention. Shopping was 30 minutes between games (or a choice between shopping or eating! Lol).

Hereβs an βinfluencer from Texasβ
"You can agree or disagree with him, but Polanski does not pretend to be something he is not.
He is unusually willing for a politician to give a straight answer to questions.
Does he want to rejoin the EU? βYes."

βDid Nathan Gill ever say anything you disagree with in return for his bribes from a Kremlin stooge?β
βDid you, in your roles as his boss, friend, mentor & party leader, ever question his full-throated support for an enemy of the UK and if not, why not?β
You can have those for nothing, lads.
This is vital context to Zia Yusuf's attacks on @zackpolanski.bsky.social.
Few people have paid attention to how Yusuf made his millions.
He sold "ultimate luxuries" to the mega rich.
Yusuf is desperately trying to torpedo the idea that him and his mates should be taxed.
Are your company worried about you accepting bribes from Russian Oligarchs? Or maybe selling some of your colleagues on the black market? π€£
21.11.2025 14:31 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Absolutely. But I think he was lucky to dodge spying laws. Being paid by a foreign country to operate against the best interests of your own. Possible only because it was the EU rather than a single sovereign nation saved him from that.

21.11.2025 13:06 β π 201 π 103 π¬ 9 π 10By pleading guilty, he gets a reduced sentence, and more importantly, there is no discovery phase, which might have revealed other similar associates. Be pleading guilty, he protects those bigger 'men in positions of power'. I wouldn't be surprised if they make sure there is something in it for him.
