    Someone on Tumblr asked after the Middle Egyptian version of "OK, boomer", and I thought that might be of some interest here, too. The hieroglyphs read "tiw iAw"; "Indeed, old man".

    A line of Egyptian hieroglyphs. The glyphs of the first word are the pestle, the quail chick, and the seated man with hand to his mouth. The glyphs for the second word are the reed leaf, the vulture, the quail chick, and the standing old man with walking stick.

    I've just released a one-page rpg! Amble is a narrative game for two people on separate walks. You talk on the phone, and use environmental prompts to tell anecdotes about a horrific journey. You can get the PDF from the link, but here's two screen grabs.

    Says the guy who tried to THROW OUT ALL THE VOTES OF PEOPLE FROM PITTSBURGH

    By rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh. This agreement will do little to affect the climate and will harm the livelihoods of Americans.

    wow, Biden just signed an executive order outlawing those quote tweet threads where you just repeat the same phrase the person before you said as a way to do an advocacy. harsh but fair

    This short thread… ‘makes sense’ to me. The argument Ryan Grim lays out, I mean, not necessarily the strategy itself.

    Bill Clinton used to have a phrase for an effort he would undertake that he knew would fail but was good politics to try: He’d say, “I want to be caught trying.” A lot of Dems want to be caught trying to work with Republicans, so that when that doesn’t work, they can go alone

    Incredibly meaningless and trivial phone/tablet question. When did you last materially, as in MASSIVELY, change your ‘home’ screens, the arrangement of icons on your phone or tablet?

    Very worrying to hear Coronavirus infections have reached the Pyramid stage.

    i think if you went to any school and asked them about Gavin Williamson then the letter F would indeed feature very prominently indeed.

    Keir Starmer says Gavin Williamson should get an F for his performance. He told reporters: "I think the country has given him an F, I think you would struggle if you went around anywhere in the UK talking about schools to find many people that would give him more than an F."

    Y’see, I’m now wondering if Ted Cruz thinks COP 26 is about the police. OK, that’s a lie. I’m not wondering at all. Ted Cruz definitely thinks COP 26 is about policing, doesn’t he?

    For 15 points, rearrange these words to form a statesmanlike comment.

    Today, as of 2 minutes ago, all 4 of the Top Presidential succession roles are held by Democrats, and 3 of them changed today. President, VP, Speaker & president pro tem of the Senate. Senator Patrick Leahy from Vermont just became the last of those. (It *was* Chuck Grassley.)
