I think the BBC meant to say 'How Milei's economic vandalism wrecked the already-shaky Argentinian economy so badly that the US had to bail them out to the tune of $20bn'

Continuing my read-through of 'The Lamb of the Free' and I find this approach to Jesus' death utterly refreshing. It has implications far beyond systematic theology.
Jesus leads the way through death and dies in solidarity with all victims of human sin.

The Witcher III: The Wild Hunt came out 10 years ago today. IIRC it was a Saturday, I was off work and fired it up and I didn't stop playing all day. I was immediately immersed in it's world, attached to the characters, and determined to explore every corner of the map(s). 1/

A trailer released today for God Save Birmingham, a zombie survival game set in 16th Century Birmingham and the YouTube comments do not disappoint.

Making good use of the sunny weather and good light to get these over the line. Just a bit more to do before I can begin shading and highlighting.

This would be my Lions XV. A straight 5/5/5 split between Ireland, England, and Scotland.
I might switch B. White for JGP and put Tuipulotu in at 12 for Henshaw.
I'd have a few Welsh players in the extended squad: Blair Murray, Tomos Williams etc.

I completed Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector this evening. An excellent sequel to one of my favourite games of the past few years. CS2 is more of a 'game' than CS1, it's like someone took CS1 and injected some classic Bioware DNA, which I really like.
