This is a really important read, on the debacle that is metal detecting in the UK, dispelling lots of myths.

Your regular reminder, it is illegal to prospect, without a licence from the state,,for archaeological objects in Ireland using a remote sensing device

An important contribution on metal detecting & archaeology in England and Wales.

(N.B.: Metal detecting is illegal in Ireland, & subject to fines & even imprisonment, under the National Monuments Acts)

The piece where I get to say everything that's bugging me about the world of detecting & archaeology & ask - why are we not more concerned about this?

(Thank you to everyone who read through drafts & offered thoughts, advice and ideas.)

There are some rumours that a few copies of A Very Civil Whist is available at a preorder price on @phalanxgames.bsky.social stand at Essen! Not sure if they do any demos of it. GO GO GO!

Two things some folks are missing:

* The literal words “KING TRUMP” also on the jet.

* The fact it seems to be a Russian jet.

Trump's Truth Social account just posted this AI video of him flying a fighter jet that reads "King Trump."

AI Trump is wearing a crown while he dumps shit on protesters. He's such a pathetic little man.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei
If Pope Leo does indeed approve a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

The Rococo of Unhappy King Charles

The exuberant beauty of the design for Unhappy King Charles is an aesthetic triumph
UKC succeeds brilliantly as a marriage of game design and artistry that is rare in the world of boardgaming. Frankly, I am at a loss to think of any peers

Many 20th Century board game designers remain uncredited. This year I've tracked down designer info for 18 games. It's required artifact acquisition, access to newspaper archives, books, and even a trip from Detroit to Connecticut. My patreon producers made this possible.

For no particular reason, here's a lovely island off the coast of Kerry.

An Fear Marbh - the Dead Man.
Inis Tuaisceart, one of the Blasket Islands off the Kerry coast. It is known as An Fear Marbh as it looks like a man lying on his back.
