Also a reasonable guess, but nobody on Trumpet knew about Punisher yet.

Both answers are adjacent to the truth, but not quite there.

That's a solid guess, but not what the story tells.

Peter, this is part of the follow-up to the rather heated disagreement between our States in the 1860s. Our Constitution was amended to disqualify anyone previously taking an oath of office who subsequently engaged in or supported an insurrection. Having done so, they no longer were eligible for any...

After Trumpet escapes the destruction of Thantos Minor and the decision is made to take Vector to the Valdor system to analyze the mutation immunity drug, Angus makes this trip in a series of gap crossings that is relatively slower than what Trumpet is capable of doing. He claims this is to protect ...

Soar.

Classic Donaldson ratcheting tension, redeeming irredeemable characters while abruptly dispensing with other irredeemables. Closing chapters of Chaos and Order are amazing!

Yes, I know what I've done by answering. Soon...

QFT if you ever find yourself at Kings Cross Station in London and have an odd desire to walk into a wall between platforms 9 and 10, take my advice..... don't! There are hidden doors, albeit not necessarily magical. Whatever; if you don't know how to work it (and get out of it!) , don't mess with it.

But it’s furnished in rich Corinthian leather... MTC, Ricardo Montalbán was not on my bingo card for who your "man behind the curtain" would turn out to be. :roll: The Grim Oak Press illuminated editions of LFB, TIW, and TPTP that Menolly has graced me over the years are exquisite and tre...

Welcome to the Watch, Helen Blood.
Extra credit for the wordplay in your username; I appreciate that sort of thing.
May you thrive here, and contribute!

Tried this preparation tonight. One two-pound head of cauliflower, trimmed and roughly divided in thirds for the household, boiled in salted water until al dente, then drained and allowed to cool to room temperature. Blotted, seasoned, and seared bone-in skin-on chicken thighs on both sides, removed...

Evil cannot be countered by yet more evil. Surely, surely, surely, the Israelis of all people, understand this? Indeed. The respective motivations and conflicts, both internal to the Israeli and Palestinian multi-factions and broadly between the two is a major stew...further roiled by the external ...

Welcome to the Watch, Dungbeetles!

Read in the Discord that you'd marked the day with a regional sport win and a cheese cake by your wife who is an artist in that medium. Such a good day!

Belated happy wishes apparently working...

What a happy coincidence, since they are tracked on different calendars!

Happy Anniversary and L'Shanah Tova!

As someone who (to no discernable effect) wrote in 2015 about Sinclair Lewis' novel
It Can't Happen Here, let me stress Yes, yes it can.

Despite their reputed fecundity, the bunnies only appear monthly.

It isn't too many rabbits. More Posts Are Needed.

This forum is a broad topic...and its mods are currently all absentees (although KW mods are frequent posters here).

Have at it.

Patience. Tomatoes grown this far north don't ripen as early as SB's crop. Prior to his move north a few years ago, his tomatoes were probably even earlier and more profligate. Your garden contributes to the household, to friends, to the food bank...and (year by year) to your skills in food producti...

Hello, fellow Watchers.

We Watchers suffice, but welcome any new members.
We are not so mighty that we can claim superiority.

On second thought, tell us more...

While I agree with both sarge and rob that there are currently no figures of sufficient stature (nor societal hunger for such), I recall that before there was entire polarization, there were McCains and Kasichs, among others of both parties, who could have articulated a cogent centrist path forward....
