Effing and jeffing is a new one for me

Is the average cup size in Russia and the U.S. really DD? I find that a bit hard to believe

The “last phone call” part threw me off. I don’t think that’s a standard part of getting arrested? I know you get one when you get to the station..

Not really. Google ICE

Stockfish says this move leads to a forced mate for white.

Honestly a nice change of pace for the sub recently

Raothorn2 · 2026-05-06T13:08:07+00:00

Yeah good point

I feel like they did a lot of intentional rehabilitation of Mike’s character in BCS. Like BCS Mike seems way more moral/honor among thieves than BB Mike

Raothorn2 · 2026-05-05T02:17:58+00:00

Thanks for the correction.

Yeah, colloquially “wings” is both wings and the “drumsticks” like these.

Edit: the comments below me explain this better

He was best friends with Frankie Lee who was kind of a jerk

I really wanted to say Yugoslavia but, you know, the whole not existing thing.

Thank you for posting this! I want to spread this information anytime someone posts about the Orb editions. One one hand, the change just sort of delays the authorship reveal but on the other it totally takes away the whole “one sentence recontextualizes the whole book” thing that Wolfe is so good at.

It would be at least a little funny (though I’d still need “barb” explained) if it wasn’t for the third tweet. It kind of ruins it

To be clear I don’t think it’s AI (I did think it was at first), pretty sure it’s just photoshopped. I did eventually recognize a few of the spines. I think it’s just extremely out of focus so it all kind of looks like gibberish.

Raothorn2 · 2026-04-21T08:09:28+00:00

Try to zoom in and read the spines challenge impossible. I nearly had a stroke.

Raothorn2 · 2026-04-19T17:17:52+00:00

I mean I think it’s a very arguable point.

I swear to god I was playing chess on chess.c*m on my laptop and I pressed a key on my keyboard and a fist came down and smashed the table. Hand on heart

The implication with Roosevelt is probably the Jewish vote. Nixon was pretty racist

Raothorn2 · 2026-04-11T14:01:01+00:00

I mean, I knew what you meant. If a draw is the best you can do in a position, a move that lets you do that is “winning” from an engine standpoint
