The text of the thank you card allegedly sent from Ireland to the President of the EC
"Dear Mr Juncker,
I will be honest. I never really understood the importance of the EU. It was something we learned about in school, a part of history, more than a part of today..."

"But your 5 words, ‘Ireland’s borders are Europe’s borders’ made me want to jump for joy, punch my hands into the air, and kiss you."

"For the 1st time ever Ireland is stronger than Britain. That strength comes not not from guns or bombs. It comes from your words and that of you colleagues."

"punch my hands into the air" doesn't sound a particularly Irish turn of phrase IMO
Of course, it could have been written by someone in Ireland who is not a native English speaker...

I wouldn't mind seeing the postmark on the envelope too. Just out of curiousity...

I've seen the "10 RPGs that most influenced you" thing floating around. Here is a stab at it for me.

Dungeons & Dragons
Pathfinder
Marvel Super Heroes
Marvel Heroic Roleplaying
Ghostbusters
Monster of the Week
Fate
Edge of the Empire
Mutants and Masterminds
7th Sea 2nd Edition

D&D feels like a HUGE cheat, since that, for me, covers B/X, BECMI, AD&D 1st and 2nd Edition, 3rd, 4th, and 5th edition.

I also don't lump Pathfinder in there because despite being a similar rules base, I learned completely different things from how the game was supported.

Standard disclaimer--I tried to pick the top ten, but I've definitely been influenced by more games than this. Sometimes, in retrospect, but there have definitely been more than these 10 that had an impact.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!

The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.

#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

❝︎ yoonmin au ❞︎

As captain of his high school’s basketball team, Min Yoongi dedicated all his attention to his team and their games. His focus never waned, not once.

Well, until cheerleading captian Park Jimin flashed his abs during a cheer and made him fuck up his shot.

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI

September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.
