this is so nice, thank you!! (& also thank you to your wife, what a delightful thing to be told)

I believe robert cecil let the first part of the plan unfold so he could catch Guy about to light the sticks rather than just making arrests before (they were probably betrayed by one of their number but they also all just went round discussing it. It was a very poorly guarded secret)

oh my god it is so interesting - it was nearly entirely foiled BEFORE it happened, and they went ahead even knowing it was going to fail. There was also a demented second last stand by some of the conspirators which failed because the dynamite got rained on

yeah fair enough. what i would have liked when i was on them was a function that identified people who were in relationships but were yet to define the terms & continued to date without being honest about their availability, & issued them with a medium severe electric shock

i guess a pull down menu would be better but i still reckon that could be easily exploited, and there’d be no way round having an ‘any other comments’ box. Also like if you don’t like the look of someone why would you care if their profile is no good - it assumes a sort of collectivist altruism

From what i can see the apps are all pretty disastrous but i doubt that allowing for feedback on profiles would be used in the spirit intended

no you’re completely correct. anyway justice for nancy

Tell me the take!

adding a new one for halloween week, feel free to use it in your own lives: ‘Sarah was actually the bad witch in the Craft, not Nancy’. going to see how this plays at the sandpit & report back

unfortunately my child is already having this explained to him as part of his bed time story repertoire

@phoeberoi.bsky.social my theoretical kids would never understand I had the ⚾️
game on mute while listening to a novel and then looked up much later and saw this and had to take a picture bc of a podcast that is now about the Ancient World

i *am* a Mara in that i routinely drink from a chipped mug i have had since i was 18 with elvis on the side & have to bullied into throwing anything away but i secretly yearn to be a ‘get rid of it all & have everything understated & chic but very much matching’ so my answer is they’re both wrong

ok so the dates aren’t EXACT but tom ripley could *just* about have eaten at a pizza hut

the more detailed explanation i can assure you is even funnier. I will watch this show until they admit defeat & take it off the air

I don’t like myself for this particularly but i can explain the reason for the sniper

Oh my lord
