there's an archaic te8 in the grid that is first known from Chaucer, according to the OED

12:33 pm

12:33 pm

Gillie

12:38 pm

hurshy

hurshy

i have a te8 but not archaic so i guess it's another one? what are the points, Gillie?

12:39 pm

hokie carla

it's just right there!

12:40 pm

hokie carla

you prob think it's not archaic because you read ancient books

12:40 pm

hurshy

no mine is really very not archaic

12:40 pm

hurshy

it's just like, oh, Lord Snorgwaffle, where's so-and-so? i think she's out on the te7 looking at the peacocks (plural for 8)

12:41 pm

hokie carla

5:42 pm

Gillie

So, a reporter for the Atlantic was accidentally invited to a DOD group chat where planned airstrikes on Houti rebels were discussed - hours before they occurred - and where an active intelligence officer was mentioned by name, conducted using Signal (which isn't secure) instead of in the internal secure communications channels: https://www.wired.com/story/fbi-tesla-\narson-domestic-terrorism-protests/
