Oddity of the day: a Barnstaple-Long Buckby train ticket is cheaper with the "any permitted" route option than the "via Birmingham" route option. Why? Who knows.

Are you a trans person trying to forget the horrors for a little while? Why not join your hostess @cpt.janey.gay for a rousing good time, riddled with distraction? Come join us in a safe, trans-only space anytime Saturday between 8pm-1am EST! Interested? DM us for the link! See y'all there! 🏳️‍⚧️😴🥳

Congratulations to Toth on winning the TX-02 Republican Primary.

Age verification? I became Somerset chess champion for the first time in 1994.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. Well, not *at work*, per se, but certainly doing one of the event's jobs: "Could you start white's clock on all boards, please."

My opponent (black, to play), is clearly dead lost whatever he does, but he nevertheless managed to find the #WorstMoveOnTheBoard.

This is where I look to see when @foldablehuman.bsky.social published The Future Is A Dead Mall, but it turns out it was March 2023, so it doesn't look like it had much effect on the shape of the curve.

I feel @dieworkwear.bsky.social would probably have a lot to say about these outfits.

Grab your chance to join us now!

I want to expand my thoughts about this issue a bit so here is a 🧵 First, this is not an unpopular opinion, in fact, it is the predominant opinion and it is also a horribly wrong opinion. It equates any push back towards the puritanism of youth as being tied to pedophilia or abuse. 1/22

A VERY packed couch for tonight! 😁

Dear D'Hoffryn: I just overheard someone saying "I wish I could be president for the rest of my life". Did I do the right thing? Yours, A newly-minted vengeance demon

It's the first time a trans woman wins the French Chess Championship, and the second time in history that a trans woman wins a national title, after Annemarie Meier who became Women's German Champion in 2003! I hope my victory inspires young trans chess fan to keep playing while they transition.

Congratulations to @yoshaiglesias.bsky.social on becoming French women's chess champion.

Today I have been mostly winning in the style of my coach, against his ex-wife. #chess #KingstonInternational

Latin has a very similar issue, that led to a friend-of-a-friend once giving a Christmas card that, when translated, read "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Old Woman". (He had written "anum" instead of the correct "annum".)

My opponent (black, to play) found the Worst Move On The Board in this position:

Discworld QOTD (h/t @rincewind.run ) "When his hands are above your head, his groin is level with your teeth."

The “system matters/system don’t matter” discourse in TTRPGs always struck me as deeply annoying because it turns out, uh, telling stories is actually a skill that you need to develop, that’s why bards were prized and novelists take training - mechanics exist to help you, a schmuck, tell stories

Your hostess with the mostest has logged on.

Happy Shakespeare Day! Remember to:- - believe women - refrain from being tactless to the recently bereaved - be magnificently queer in your gender and defy all patriarchal (inc. transphobic) boundaries - soliloquise, especially when plotting shenanigans - Never Go To Sea - do a jig at the end

STARTING IN 5 MINUTES AND GOING FOR AT LEAST 5 HOURS!

This weekend I have been mostly becoming Devon chess champion.

**********ANNOUNCEMENT********** #TSP & Crash (@starcrashr.bsky.social) are parting ways. They will no longer be hosting future events or administrating in any capacity. We're rescheduling our next event for 1/25, to allow space for @cpt.janey.gay to plan how TSP will operate going forward...
