Here we go, here we go, here we go! Will a player do the equivalent of Ireland v Portugal last night and put two past them as well as get their poster boy sent off? Okay, maybe football analogies don't work with Scrabble - but you should still watch WESPAC 2025 Live!

The Rubicon was crossed in American politics when the Brooks Brothers riot and a corrupt Supreme Court handed a presidential election to the candidate who lost. Everything since then has been continuation of the hostile takeover of democracy greenlit in 2000.

Basically a howto describing an easy way to completely fuck up an encryption standard. Remember kids: there’s only two kinds of encryption, secure and insecure. If someone won’t be completely open to show why it’s secure — it’s surely not.

In the late '70s, a man in Iowa and a man in Edinburgh each started working on computerised Scrabble. Here's the story of how their work eventually came together in one hit game in 1984. Different types of popular games have always co-existed!
