Stage 2 Burgas (Bulgaria) -> Veliko Tarnovo

Glüc's prediction was mostly correct, but GC riders did make a valiant attempt at trying to win seconds on their peers - Vingegaard (CHX/ITW/BDC/MMM/GHS/CFA), Pellizzari (CFA/CHX/MMM/VFL) and Van Eetvelt (non-TCAT) were rebuffed by the charging chase within the last kilometer, with the stagewin ultimately going to non-TCAT Silva, and Giulio Ciccone (BDC/CHX/ITW) in third leading the TCAT riders. Scaroni (MMM/REX) placed fourth, Pellizzari fifth and Christen (BDC) eighth.

It is BDC who comes away with the daily win, but disaster struck soon after as Andrea Vendrame, one of the riders involved in a 30-rider megacrash midway through, completed the stage but will not be able to start tomorrow. Also unable to start due to the crash is Adam Yates, which sadly means Fieschă and REX are already a GC rider down. The first TCAT rider to abandon, though, was MMM's Matteo Moschetti, which did not start stage 2 as a result of the injuries sustained in the finish line crash of stage 1.

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas

80's sounding (apparently its from 1990) dream pop with shiny bright vocals, post-punky basslines, and indecipherable lyrics. I was only vaguely aware of them before. I did not expect to be this blown away.

Best tracks (in tracklist order): Pitch the Baby, Iceblink Luck, Fifty-fifty clown, Heaven or Las Vegas, I Wear Your Ring, but probably it's best to experience the whole thing from start to finish.

I expect @Crement Itravilatx to rub it in that his team has such early success.

I missed the deadline too. (I've been working so much lately, half the time I don't even know what day of the week it is.)

Talossa's Embassy in Ohio, formerly located at 508 East State Street, in Salem, Ohio, has moved! (To be honest, it wasn't much of an embassy, we never even got a Talossan flag installed. We promise to do better in the new location.) Nerdy Necessities, the game store that also operates as the embassy, has just moved down the street a few blocks. New address is 420 East State Street. If you happen to be in the area, you are welcome to visit (and hopefully not leave without buying something.) The new location sits above a place called "Kast Iron Soda Works", a soda pop saloon that makes many of its own products, and is across the street from an awesome record store (State Street Records). There's also a popular tattoo parlour next to the record store. And if you want something stronger than soda pop, there are several establishments offering a variety of alcoholic beverages just a short walk away. (Ricky's English Pub is my favorite. They have Guinness on tap and the food is generally pretty good.) Stop by sometime.
(And if you can't, you can still support a Talossan owned business! Nerdy Necessities has a website you can order stuff from.)

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on May 08, 2026, 06:53:05 PMThere is already a bill in the CRL that would modify the same provision. In such a circumstance, I would not want to move forward with a bill that would modify the same provision, because it's confusing and poor form. While this bill is fine in form and function, and I vote to approve, I think it would be best to wait for a future Clark.

Thank you for approving in form and function. My bill removes the strongmen statement in the WHEREAS clause which was mentioned as a concern. If there is no movement before the call for bills for the sixth Clark I will move forward with this one.
