How I exposed MI5’s lie about its violent abusive agent The Security Service gambled BBC correspondent Daniel De Simone had no evidence. A note, an email and a recording proved it wrong.

The kind of integrity needed right now in every newsroom from top to bottom:

Voting for the Mayor Who Promised to Blow Up the City Doesn’t Mean I Approve of the Mayor Blowing Up the City It’s so easy to label people these days. From the way folks have been talking, you’d think everyone falls into two buckets: those who voted against...

I wrote this bit that is entirely unrelated to current things

Some of the utter stupidity I’ve been reading everywhere including here is going to lead me back into having no social media.

When at a new Indian place that does mild medium hot instead of stars plus β€œtraditional levels” I always go mild. I’m a 2 star or child traditional which is around medium but not knowing the place I’m always cautious

Stress will hopefully be less now that it is getting renewed and I can have a normal amount of disability issues.

I also have multiple health issues that cause the adrenal crises and episodes to happen more frequently so having multiple doses on hand is necessary for me to feel secure. I was trying to find out how to use an online pharmacy or out of pocket endocrine visit to get it out in an online pharmacy.

Not showing any interest in me saying this isn’t what dehydration feels like based on sports, the marines, being an outdoorsman etc. I’ve been unable to get myself to do anything for fear of overdoing it and having no real way to get to a hospital if it gets really bad.

I’ve been living in a nervous panic for a couple weeks (or more) bc I ran into an issue with refilling my emergency meds for adrenal insufficiency. Having had an adrenal crisis 100 yards from an emergency room before I knew what they were, the ER treated me solely for dehydration too btw,

Air Force no longer teaching about WASPS and Tuskegee to comply should outrage any of these people that β€œlove the military” more than any made up issue they actually are outraged about but nah.

I started watching the PL at the turn of the millennium and so Man U vs Arsenal matchups always felt like a bigger rivalry. Glory Glory and the Reds go marching on, whew.

Id rate that I played my 8.8/10 game most of the way but had some >9 and <6.5 moments.

I had thought they were on a J, 76, clubs or spades. I go 40% they raise smalI. I tank and since I already removed sets and straights I think it’s a good shove for pot & have fold eq or I get called by the draws…maybe even a non believing AsJc or AcJs. They show QsTs and it was game over user wins

The hand that beat me didn’t get picked up by pt4. I had KdKs I min raised they called. Flop 89j 2 tone clubs and spades. I bet 30% pot (they had beeen pretty honest with checknraises but they had all been small) villain takes a few seconds and calls. 2c comes

I usually won’t fire multiple bullets but I just kind of shrugged and considered it the same tournament. I used info on players well except 3-4 times and heads up I was slowly winning and then ran into a bad preflop shove call 78s vs Q9o but villain had shoved or folded every 20bb hand or less.

First tournament of the year (2 bullets) in a PKO took 2d for 19x the cost of the 2 bullets. Making my 2025 ROI 3830! (lol). The first bullet was a blunder because my hud was covering cards and their bb and so on the middle of a hand I tried adjusting it and instead of calling a flop bet I shoved.

I read it during the 2016 election cycle and it was a great read and also made me skeptical of the β€œhe has no chance” crowd… grifters get away with it allll the time…. I need to reread it.

Finding out one of my health issues may be related to something I had to file for help by August of this year was a kick in the teeth I didn’t need today…but I guess having all the crap happen this year means 2025 can start off clean as arbitrary as that cutoff is.

Thank you very much! I just got ganged up by this child and two teenagers after posting this. If they all start playing chess hopefully they’ll beat up on each other and leave this middle aged man alone.

@jenshahade.bsky.social hi, I have a friend’s daughter who is turning 8 and says she wants to get into chess. Is there a book you would recommend to keep her excited about the game?

Going to be teaching hold β€˜em at a friends saloon cigar and whiskey night soon. I’m the only person that’s seen rounders let alone played a hand so good suggestions on teaching folks that like understanding games on a deeper level but have never played are appreciated.

Netflix having exclusive rights to any world cup is the opposite of how to grow the sport…you already need multiple streaming services just to watch pro soccer don’t get me started on the cups not that you should expect more from FIFA

From Roosevelt’s 50k airplanes, to JFK β€œwe choose to go to the moon” and β€œask not” to now is something else. But it seems we have always been closer to talmadge and McCarthy than we are to American exceptionalism

LFG!!!!!! Sets over sets, aces full of kings, sucking out when you need to, holding when it helpful, but A game poker all the way.

That would be me. Part of my learning goals next year was going to be using knowit because they allow visual images on front and back to really work on range visualization and speeding up decisions at online tables.

@natemeyvis.bsky.social
Also With the hand matrices and with just cut off/bottom of range hands.

Possibly some online hud stats for opponents and adjustments. (Ie someone vpips 50% limp folds 0% RFI 9%) they raise from EP likely hands?
