Letter written by Mary, Queen of Scots, prior to beheading draws crowds The letter, written in prison hours before her execution, is on display in Scotland for the first time in 30 years, enthralling crowds and conspiracy theorists.

Mary, Queen of Scots, wrote a farewell letter from prison two hours before her head was chopped off in 1587.

A fascinating @washingtonpost article as the letter now is available for viewing in a Scottish museum.

Well, the $64 tater tot I refer to is actually the $49 tater tot option (it makes it way over $60 with 9.75% tax plus tip).

I always recommend the $7 tater tot basket available at the Quarry House Tavern in Silver Spring, Md. -- much better value.

I don't have much of a choice:

My primary industry (poker) conducts almost all business there.

My other primary business (sports/gambling) conducts almost all business there.

And I still feel a need to combat the daily disinformation put out by the 'legitimate' posters with large followings.

Norman Chad - Still Gambling Mad After All These Years Norman Chad shares his thoughts about the World Series of Poker and value of the bracelets, and talks about his Gambling Mad YouTube podcast.

So @PaulSeaton from @Pokerati contacted me to chat.

He called it "an interview."

Back in the day I used to call it "spending some time with someone you don't know."

Whatever.

I don't think he misquoted me, but I never remember half of what I say.

Yes, it further enriches him.
Yes, he manipulates which posts users see.

But we cannot lay down ninth face of the onslaught.

Evil trumps good when good remains silent.
We've gotta be full-throated everywhere.

Please take your soft bubble butts over to X and fight the fight.

This echo chamber ain't moving the needle.

You need to converse in both worlds.

1. Gavin and I are not close.

2. I actually believe Gavin is a fraud.

3. Even though online poker should be legal everywhere, under current law operators like Global are essentially sidestepping/skirting the intent of the law.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

LOOKING FOR GROUND SUPPORT AT X

Can't you Bluesky folks send over, say, 20 people at a time, and rotate them out for a fresh 20 people every week?

This would prevent mental burnout and give us well-rested, alert keyboard warriors to fight the never-ending battles.

That's a great analogy -- I just pray that you are wrong.

(At the moment, yes, I am losing my mind. Just refuse to cede the dialog and the territory to all those speaking untruths and spouting toxic hate.)

Why do you all keep sitting over here on your soft asses?

You cannot ignore the evil, you have to speak to the evil.

I'm over at X getting my butt handed to me 24-7.
Are you gonna be Victor Laszlo or are you gonna own Rick's Cafe?

SOS.

We're losing.

We've gotta step outside this bubble.

We need to confront the close-minded at every front.

We must fight rhetorical fire with rhetorical fire.

We have to combat every fiction with actual fact.

And if facts don't trump fiction, we won't have a democratic republic any more.
