Alright, students, flip open your books to the pages on the strategic problem of crafting communications which have to accomplish different aims to different audiences...
NEWS: Another judge is preparing to block Trump's spending freeze, saying the White House's cleanup effort only added to the confusion around its "ambiguous" order.

He cited @PressSec comment appearing to undercut the OMB withdrawal.

From @theathletic.bsky.social: Brian Kelly is Thursday’s underrated loser. Kelly left Notre Dame for LSU and a better shot at a college football championship, but it's Marcus Freeman and the Irish who will play for a title. nyti.ms/3Px42is
James Franklin? Nah, Brian Kelly is the big loser as Notre Dame reaches CFP title game

Hello #BluePitHype !

I'm Michael, stay at home dad to four rambunctious little ones. I write adult fantasy and children's stories. I've been telling stories every since I was little, drawing knights and castles in the margins and playing out wars between nations on spare pages.
#BluePitHype It's the start of our Q&A!

Let's start by getting to know each other better! It's Introduction day!

Only 5 more days to go until #BluePit!

6 wise, blind elephants discussed what humans were like. Unable to agree, they decided to determine what humans were like by direct experience.

The 1st wise, blind elephant felt the human, and declared, "Humans are flat."

The other wise, blind elephants, after similarly feeling the human, agreed.

Several of my projects take place here, on the continent of Euethia.

The Marquis de Condorcet and the French Revolution, Dark Sun Magic, and an image that would not leave my head, inspired me to create my world.

The Korean Catholic Church was extremely involved in the democracy movement in the '80s. Cardinal Kim Sou-hwan sheltered student protesters in Myeongdong Cathedral in Gwangju and told the government that if they tried to enter they would have to step over the bodies of the priests and nuns.

At least for Petra, my Main character, the Whistlewind, which is one of the tallest peaks of the Pearlcap mountains, is very majestic. She's always there, overshadowing his village, and when he takes his flock up to graze he can see the entire plain of Kestrel
