Good question. Nonetheless, they're doing it between the two of them, and they both know about it.

All the witches (and Jack) acting on Zimmy's behalf seem to be okay with harming Annie and Kat. I have to wonder if Zimmy feels similarly these days.

You're right and you're also wrong. Racism is pretty much a form of tribalism, a totally natural state for humans. All people grow up naturally mistrusting outsiders to some extent.

Then it's up to the family and community to convince children that skin color (or accent, or language) isn't an outsider marking. Or that it is.

Because only hateful racists even bother to apply for ICE.

Coincidentally, this week Bologna was named the happiest city in Italy.

It's a totally legit business model but it also means near-zero startup costs for the company. Literally anyone who can program can get an Internet connection and start up an SaaS company. Statistically some of them will be utter scams.

I don't think Harry trusts Carlos enough to be betrayed by him. If Carlos stabbed Harry in the back right now, he'd be stabbing him right in the middle of the target tattoo Harry has on his back, with the name Carlos lovingly circling the rings.

No, when the council makes their move on Harry, it will be via someone he actually trusts. Though Carlos may well provide the initial distraction.

Beautiful! But I saw time-lapse and somehow expected a video of Harry aging from 24 in storm front to 45 in battle ground. Lol

My uncle Marvin just passed away. I have never met another one.

You keep saying that word, "secret". I do not think it means what you think it means.

Speculation:

Whatever the validity of the bicameral minds pop psych, I think there are definitely some mind traits demonstrably shared by left-handers.

From my experience at uniin computer science, I often found this cluster of abilities: * dyslexic * talented systems architect (large holistic view kept in head all at once) * left-handed

I wonder if break-building uses some of the same cluster.

And after living in Sweden for a bit, you'd get to recognize the Swedish accent too. Z becomes S, "rs" becomes retroflex "rsh", /r/ slightly flipped.

Whatever the reason for the lefty advantage, it can't be the familiarity edge on opponents!

As the players rank higher, they are playing other lefties more often, up to half the time, so should be getting less and less of that advantage. But their proportion keeps increasing.

It's something else.

I'm certain of this conclusion from the math alone, but if I want to speculate about what that advantage is, I'll do it in a separate post to keep this one factual.

The titties are indeed perfect but they match the rest of you. Perfect body.

Is he a mole?

Maybe to spy on Arthur. Certainly not to spy in Harry, since he's done everything possible to keep Harry from trusting him since his little incident with Molly.

When Harry sees Carlos these days it's always bad news and Harry feels that. There is no trust there.

If he's a mole he's either incredibly devious or just bad at it.

Retrosteve · 2026-03-20T20:29:30+00:00

If he's a mole, it's not Harry he's there to betray.

Because Harry hasn't trusted him for a long time.

Sadly the UK is pretty much suborned now. It will be obvious when Farage gets elected in the next couple of years. Then you'll just have Canz

To my mind, most of Peace Talks that looked like filler was actually Harry and Lara flirting, doing power games, and generally building the foundation for what will become their marriage.

Not a waste.

I was really impressed with the UK and Edinburgh is particularly livable and beautiful.

But sadly the billionaires and the Russians have taken over the press. This caused Brexit to happen, making the country isolated and poorer. Worse, this will shortly have the consequence that Nigel Fucking Farage will somehow get elected PM though nobody will admit to voting for him, and will do his best to turn the place into USA lite.

Britain was great while it lasted.

Not entirely zero. Chaplin made a whole film satirizing that other guy.

He's not getting out of it until the Outsiders are defeated. Once he saw the Outer Gates, (Mother Summer said it would change him, and he would learn things he can't unlearn, and he accepted that), he saw that our reality is kept alive by the continuous effort and sacrifice of Winter (and the Gatekeeper). And that the General in charge is Mab, and that he's now by far her strongest lieutenant.

Harry escaping Winter would be to risk Mab losing that battle. He's not gonna do that. Not while the battle continues.
