    Emily recovered before me and asked, “Who are you?”

    “I see no reason to share information with my adversaries. Unless…”

    He paused and waved at the room. “As you can see, I am a collector. If you have something of interest, I might share some tidbits. You might even learn something useful.”

    I appraised the man before answering. He was of medium height and slimly built, with a sharp nose, a high forehead, and dark eyes. A short, trimmed beard did nothing to hide his faintly amused smile. For a supposed “adversary,” he appeared calm.

    “Would this do?” I showed him a silver egg we'd gotten from Amelia Earhart’s signal fire. A blue fire, like an opal’s, moved in its depths.

    “A wish-fulfilling gem, Vishnu’s blessing in #stasis. I have read about those, but have never seen one,” the man said. “I will tell you what I can without violating the oaths that bind me.” He stepped forward and took the orb from my hand.

    “Before you stands Michel de Nostredame,” he said, bowing.

    “Nostradamus, the prophet?” Emily sounded incredulous.

    “Nay, hardly a prophet. I merely set down the scenes shown to me as Hermes’s companion.”

    “I hope you're going to tell us more than your name,” Emily said. “Don’t be a mug. We paid handsomely for information.”

    The Third Pillar of Isis beneath the northern crown,
    A prince in ancient Londinium shall gather the silent stones.
    From hidden labors the relics bear their sign,
    Though shadowed the work, its root is noble—known to Saint Judas.

    Yet more the tongue must seal, and the hand conceal,
    For Heaven’s will walks paths no mortal charts.

    From his gestures, I understood the first lines referred to himself and the things we saw around us. The reference to Saint Judas was striking, but I didn’t know enough about the apocryphal writings of Saint Judas to understand its meaning. From the context, however, it seemed to refer to something that appeared evil but was actually noble. The last lines meant he wouldn’t tell us more.

    “Still a grifter, I see,” Emily said. “Flimflam. Give the wish-fulfilling gem back.”

    Nostradamus looked amused, making no move to return the orb. Instead, he added, “If as Faust, yea seek, what is divinely hidden, go where the words of the betrayer were illuminated and the covenant set down.”

    “The Council of Nicosia,” I said. Everything pointed to the Templars' meeting in Nicosia.

    Wish-fulfilling Gem:

  2. #NintendoSwitch Review Video: #Stasis - While, once it gets rolling, this offers up a pretty solid sci-fi horror adventure, the console-style controls, some presentation shortcomings, and often haphazard puzzle design detract from its strengths #IndieGames

  4. "Im Mittleren Osten ist das Gegenteil von Autoritärer Herrschaft nicht unbedingt die Demokratie. Es kann auch dauernde Unordnung sein. So gern ich diese Regierung stürzen sähe: Passen Sie auf, wenn die Säulen fallen!"

    Nicht nur im "Mittleren Osten", my dear, sondern überall ist das so.

  5. Почему гражданам запретили покупать USDT за рубли и доллары

    C 26 мая 2025 года вступают в силу расширенные требования ЦБ к иностранным цифровым правам (ИЦП), в результате чего физлицам запрещено покупать USDT и другие стейблкоины. USDT — популярный и надёжный стейблкоин. В нём удобно производить расчёты, переводить деньги друзьям, рассчитываться за услуги, покупать товары. Но центробанки хотят навязать гражданам свои цифровые валюты с полным отказом от анонимности, с автоматической уплатой налогов и удобной конфискацией средств в случае необходимости.

  6. Stasis

    A caterpillar’s quiet encouragement for someone whose self-betterment has stalled. A sentiment for those we believe in, even when they’ve perhaps stopped believing in themselves.

  9. Stasis: Bone Totem, an isometric Sci-Fi horror adventure, is now available on Xbox.

    The PC version received near-universal praise, so unless it's plagued by technical issues, I expect the game to be just as amazing on Microsoft's machine.

  10. Just finished #Stasis . Not recommended.

    What starts as a promising isometric adventure steadily strips away any reason to care about its story or characters through unrelenting hopelessness, unbelievably predictable story beats, and surface-level sci-fi themes that can charitably be described as "derivative."

  11. 🦎🌟 How do lizards challenge the rules of evolutionary biology? A new study in PNAS shows that natural selection is extremely variable and unpredictable in the wild, leading to both rapid and slow changes in traits. The study solves the paradox of stasis and reveals the hidden complexity of evolution. #lizards #evolution #stasis studyfinds.org/evolutionary-bi
