Affection talk 

@Axel_Hugsky no its okay! Truly! *muzzle bumps and boops*

Affection talk 

@Axel_Hugsky ah fair. I was trying to be humerous by claiming something innocuous was insidious but obviously the joke didnt work. Apologies.

Affection talk 

@Axel_Hugsky ... this is an obvious trap

I dont like Terry Pratchett but I appreciate that he was a talented writer who worked hard at his craft.

When you run into a writer who references the "boot metaphor" about wealth and is clearly using it as conversation and bungles it terribly you appreciate more that Sir Pratchett worked very hard at his prose.

@kyellgold this is clearly a foxy ploy to distract me so I wont guard my cornish game hen with vigilance

@Axel_Hugsky good morning *sends toast and jam and qell wishes*

Hey FC 2023 attendees! I'll be tabling this year at booth 116-B alongside FablePaint.

Keel plushes are EXTREMELY limited but I will only sell them on Saturday. Be sure to stop by and get a space gator hug!

Since (e: I am told that) Fandom apparently intends to remove text walkthroughs from GameFAQs (which Fandom now owns), a tip of the hat to Reddit user prograc, who scraped all of GameFAQs up through March 23, 2020; the full archive is available here: archive.org/details/Gamespot_G

Well it took 14 tries but Kevin McCarthy got there. Good for him?

Anyway golf claps aside this really was ridiculous. A speaker's job is all about knowing what votea you have and knowing how to negotiate and McCarthy has proven he has a severe deficiency in both columns

@Siph well it depended on the job and field of work but very generally no. There was paper work and administrational stuff in roughly equal amounts

Can he win? Sure, but this has been one embarrassment for him after another so good luck to him, his power is cracked.

Cool, McCarthy made some deala and got some more votes. What exactly he promised is unclear and he still lost the 13th attempt so....

“In #Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Make sure everyone understands this — It’s costing us far too much to NOT provide housing and supports to those who are homeless.
