@scrivolical assuming you mean the historical recreation society, we're still around. I play and it's pretty active here in SoCal.

@FlatFootFox I see what you did there...

Turns out German farmers grew too much potatoes last year, so now all the extra potatoes have to be consumed (the alternative is just burning them for biodiesel).
This means free potatoes for everyone in Berlin! :boost_ok:
They accept applications for batches over 1 ton until Monday; and also on Thursday and Friday there will be multiple distribution points across Berlin for picking up smaller amounts for personal consumption, measured in kilos.

Picard morality tip: If one side of a conflict preaches purity of bloodline above communal benefit for all, join the other side.

Well, this *is* in fact how we learned commedia dell'arte and started our troupe! 🤣

Yesterday I was honored to join the Order of the Argent Blade at the Calafia Rapier Unmodified Tournament! It is Caid's grant-level rapier award.

Myself in court, kneeling before Bjorn and Roisin, the current royals of Caid, all in SCA period garb.

An SCA award scroll with the medallion of the award resting on top.

The medallion depicts a rapier over a field of blue and white, split diagonally.

The top half of the scroll depicts an illustration of several people in Renaissance era garb practicing rapier fencing.

The bottom half reads,

"Well pleased by their uncommon courtesy and the skill they have long shown in the art of combat, we hereby admit Tristram Dowdeswell to the Right Honourable Order of the Argent Blade. Done on this July xix, a.s. lx.

Bjorn, kongund
Roisin, cwene"

Picard civics tip: If there is one truth, one constant that history shows us over and over, it is that resistance is never futile.

It's the weekend, baby
#StarTrek

Shaxs from Star Trek Lower Decks is pictured. He's a cartoon, because Lower Decks, besides being the best effing show ever, is a cartoon. Shaxs is a big burly man wearing his gold Star fleet uniform and also an apron over the front like he's doing some sort of art project or baking a nice sourdough. In each hand he's holding a broken bottle like that thing you do where you take a bottle and break off the bottom and then use it as a weapon. His eyeballs are bulging large, his brow is furrowed, and he looks absolutely unhinged with rage and anger. Closed caption reads, "Fighting fascism is a full time job!"

This seems like a very clear violation of the 1st Amendment, compelled speech.

The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.
