The Trivium Triumvirate Has Spoken: In the event a #WQuers player suffers an X/6, it shall be treated as a 7 in calculating their 🔱 score (Wordle + Squareword + Thirdle). Here's hoping it remains merely academic for our players!

@lars-o-matic.bsky.social as Wordle caught so many today, it made me wonder.... if one of us 🔱 Skywalkers gets an X in Wordle, how do we count that in 🔱? A 7? #WQuers

Any American man not objecting to all that's being done to women obviously condones it.

Too many of our kids are getting killed, because of thoughtless assholes like Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. This mass shooting today happened in his own district. He said “thoughts and prayers” but did nothing AGAIN. Remember this when we can take back the House in November.

WTF is wrong with the USA? Turning women back into slaves of the patriarchy. Finding ways to restrict voting rights, declaring the contraceptive pill "abortion", arresting women who sadly miscarry, NOT arresting any of the Epstein gang, couldn't possibly elect a woman president. 🧵1

Kind of late but I wrote about Eric Swalwell and how despite narratives that MeToo/allegations sweepingly “ruin men’s lives,” many vaguely famous men actually gain a new fan base/receive vocal support for the first time in their careers—solely *from* facing allegations:

But … why? 🧐

Vic Police Minister needs solutions for putting PSOs on trains to 'protect the public'. Um. I have a solution. Put guards back on trains. Remember when the guard rode at the back of the train, would check everyone was on/off the train and signal the driver to close the doors?

That guard (and driver) and every rail station also had two-way radios to call METROL (train control suburbs) and CENTROL (regional trains), who could directly & rapidly dispatch police to incidents. Oh, and every station has a Stationmaster on duty? Kennett got rid of that for privatisation.

The US Navy fired on and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship today. That's not blockade enforcement. That's a kinetic act on a sovereign vessel. Anyone still calling this a "limited operation" isn't paying attention. #HoldFast

Germany just activated its largest ever solar installation — one farm, 1.5 million homes, zero carbon. The #CottbusSolarPark covers 3,500 hectares and produces 2.1 tw-hours annually, replacing two coal plants that operated on this same land until 2022. #SolarPower #ActOnClimate #Renewables

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the easing of sanctions on Russian oil, after the US extended a waiver meant to soften surging energy prices driven by the war on Iran.

Hezbollah exists as a DIRECT result of Israeli violence in Lebanon. Literally. They formed in 1982 following Israel's invasion and occupation. They drove the IDF out of southern Lebanon in 2000. Western news media defiantly fails to report these facts. #IsraeliTerrorism #LebanonUnderAttack

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion. I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.
