[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

A real president would answer:

We will tap into the immense talents of the American people to find effective treatments and a vaccine and produce all the ventilators and gear we need.

We’ll respect and care for each other even at a distance.

That‘s how we’ll get through this.

Did anyone suggest Sean Bean for Asmodean yet?

@randombrownaes For us @BlightBulletin our favourite villain is Mat, with that roguish swagger he could have been one of ours

@GTrakand @WhiteSoxDiaries Re-reading (well, listening) Winter’s Heart, the double whammy of Faile/Rolan and Caemlyn political intrigue make it hard going. Keep having to rewind ‘cause my mind drifts away to exiting things, like grass growing. I know it’s worth pushing through though.

@KaitlinGulstad @DefaultRand @tylinstoy @Hawaiirodney What did we miss??

[The Blight Bulletin @BlightBulletin]

@sarahenakamura @MunsonFletcher I know who I’d rather party with

@Hawaiirodney @tylinstoy 8) Sorry to lecture, I’ll let you have a turn now - give us a plausible story as to how a race of dark-haired blue-eyed Scandies remained genetically isolated through the 1st age, through the AoL, through the Breaking.

[The Blight Bulletin @BlightBulletin]

@Hawaiirodney @tylinstoy 7) When they got to where they were scattered to, were they the only people there? Or did they have to share their new home with refugees from elsewhere?

[The Blight Bulletin @BlightBulletin]

@Hawaiirodney @tylinstoy 6) Where is Asia now? Where did the Asian’s go? Did they all go to one place or to many places?

[The Blight Bulletin @BlightBulletin]

@Hawaiirodney @tylinstoy 5) Then comes the breaking. Land becomes sea, sea becomes land. Mountains are flattened and new ones rise up. People are scattered.

[The Blight Bulletin @BlightBulletin]

@Hawaiirodney @tylinstoy 4) Still with us? So there’s still an Asia, but by the end of the AoL it’s impossible for us to say what a typical “Asian” would look like.

[The Blight Bulletin @BlightBulletin]

@Hawaiirodney @tylinstoy 3) If you thought that was crazy, in the Age of Legends, people were able to flit all over the place because magic. There were almost zero barriers to ethnic mixing. In fact, it would have been puzzling if parts of the world retained a “pure” gene pool

[The Blight Bulletin @BlightBulletin]

@Hawaiirodney @tylinstoy 2) With us so far? So, even in the 1st Age, migration led to a lot of ethnic mixing. It was common to see a variety of ethnicities (and people of mixed race) in any given location.

[The Blight Bulletin @BlightBulletin]

@Hawaiirodney @tylinstoy 1) I know this is hard to follow, so I’ll take it slowly. Today, often thought of as the 1st Age, there is a place called “Asia”. This is a huge expansive continent and it’s people look very different from one part to another.

...and on that note, his Detectorists co-star Mackenzie Crook is perfect for which @WoTonPrime role? (this one is really not difficult) #TwitterOfTime

[The Blight Bulletin @BlightBulletin]

Our TV critics love Toby Jones’ acting. Which #wheeloftime character do you think they want him to play in @WoTonPrime? #TwitterOfTime

[The Blight Bulletin @BlightBulletin]

@WoTRecipes We’d really like Verin’s story to be told in full. What a lady, what an influence she had on events leading up to the last battle, but we know so little of it.

[The Blight Bulletin @BlightBulletin]

We would like to apologise to our readers for lack of news. We’re rereading Winter’s Heart, it’s all Andor politics, and frankly not much has happened for a long time. #TwitterOfTime
