It's High quality

The medieval peasant I went back in time to give a bag of Doritos to, concerned: what terrible and powerful sorcerers they must have in your age, to be able to veil the vault of heaven itself from view, as you say

Me, sniffling: I didn’t realize, I can’t, it’s so much, I, I… are the chips good, at least?

So, this year, one of the invited teams is "Israel Premier Tech". It's, as its name clues, an israeli team. But, again, as you can see in the name, it's not just a team from Israel, but a team whose motive is being a Israel promotional tool. So when they were included in the team rooster this year, there was a huge uproar because, you know, Israel is actively committing a genocide as we speak.

The race org take was that this is a private team that doesn't officially represent the country (unlike what happens, for example, in Eurovision), but it's kind of hard to defend when the team owner is close friends with Netanyahu and, well, the fact the team is literally called "Israel": if you're not familiar with cycling, the usual name convention is that the teams use the name of the company that sponsors them (Cofidis, Lidl Trek, Movistar team, etc), and in this case, the sponsor is a company called Premier Tech, so adding "Israel" to the name is a way to tie the identity of the team with its country of origin.

So long story short, the Vuelta organization refused to ban them from the tournament, which has been going on already for two weeks...

... And chat, the Spaniards have risen to the occasion like an evening star.

You see, all these kinds of cycling races are done on public roads. Most of the days the rides go over 200km of public roads, so people can just go to the streets of their town and see them pass by. So, unlike Eurovision, it's literally impossible to have any kind of control access.

And, well...

This has been happening every day for the last two weeks. A couple of days ago, the organization even cut the daily race three kilometers short because there were too many people protesting by the real finish line (12 people were detained by the police in the protests).

Even the general attitude of the media and politicians had been looking at the protests and going "good for them": some of the biggest sport journalists in the country have declared their support for the protests, the Spanish government has publicly asked the Vuelta organization to ban the team, etc.

Yesterday's stage had to be cut 8km short because of the massive protests by the real finish line. The race keeps going on every day until next Sunday, where it ends in Madrid. Protests are not showing any sign of stopping.

Wrong!!!

I think that Asylum seekers and Migrant workers and The Undocumented and Everyone Else should get free healthcare too

nowhere sold MOUNTAIN - I mean, I expect players did, once cards were in their hands.

but acquiring cards meant noticing a box lying around, and just….nabbing it? they’d be in weird places - in a skip, wedged high up in a fence, nestled in the branches of a tree? nobody ever saw who left them there, and there was a lot of debate about how MOUNTAIN boxes were sometimes hard to acquire without risking one’s physical safety - but then, that was also bragging rights. especially as harder-to-reach boxes seemed to contain more elusive and sought after cards…

no, I don’t remember anything about the actual gameplay, we never played any MOUNTAIN. alas. I know there were “frame cards” that were literally transparent but for a fancy metallic or holographic border, which I guess upgraded the card they were applied to? frames were super rare, my coworker literally ran up to me in the pub purely to show off the frame he’d just found

2. It’s more plausible for a vaquero and a ronin samurai to meet there by chance - New York is on the wrong coast entirely for that.

Did Tumblr know magic: the Gathering has a buff ogre woman who does time magic through brute force? And has some of the most unique effects in the game? I feel like that's something Tumblr would appreciate.
