Be an albatross. Just go anywhere I want in the world, any time I want, circle the globe, across oceans, no problem. They live long lives and are big birds such that other birds don't fock with them.

Wordle 855 5/6 🟨 🟨🟨 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Oh, what a nightmare word. I couldn't find a letter in three. Then, every word I came up with for four was, "no I can't put that in the middle" or "no that won't fit in four". I finally found something that fit. Yay! Was that it? No. I did get a 4th yellow.... what can I do with this mess? After another long while, found something else. What a pain... may well be the longest I ever spent doing this.

Good grief Another of the dozens of breaking news stories I hear of first at the Geek Club over the last two decades. thanks.

Wordle 854 4/6 🟩 🟨 🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I doubt I could have gotten it faster than four.

Wordle 852 3/6 🟩 🟨🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Another word that makes me feel stupid. I had four letters, two green, and no clue for a long time.

Covid vaccines, reparations, subsidies, and free stuff.

Hopefully but I'm not expecting anything. The corporate insider crook faction of the party still generally supports Israel, it's the perennially butthurt freak show faction that embraces terrorists.

So. very this. Lions have a tough game themselves this week at Baltimore and as always, whatever help can be provided to get to the 1 or 2 seed is appreciated.

I was never really comfortable with it to begin with, I find it gross/disgusting but whatever. When Obergfell came down and gay kissing was in the newspapers and everywhere, it was over the top repulsive. Again, whatever. It could be avoided, especially overseas. Soon thereafter the transition from LGB to LGBTQ+ and intersectional bullying, the cancel culture, and a lot to do with kids. Things like the men in negligée insisting it's perfectly acceptable for them to twirl their crotch in front of children. The morality lecture of degenerate perverts dressed like clowns trying to claim the high ground. Then there were the trannies demanding access to girl's bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports competitions. Lots more, the genital mutilation surgery on children, the abduction of kids by government LGBTQ activists, the sicko parades, and the filthy tranny books in schools all come to mind. It's just overwhelming and constant. I never cared what they did behind closed doors in Royal Oak (where the degenerates congregate in metro Detroit) or whatever perverted part of town elsewhere. There were Babe the Pig Boi's stories about what they do there and how he contracted monkeypox. I'm just fed up and overwhelmed with them at this point. Glad there's a pushback.

I've consistently wanted to keep gay predators to keep away from kids. Also, in 2015, I'd voted Dem in four straight presidential elections at that point and was still was more disgusted by the Republicans than the Democrats. It was about a year and a half into President Trump's term that I started to warm to him, call it 2018, about the same time that the Wokesters took over the Democratic Party.

They've been doing this for years. You see pink here-and-there around the NFL in October because this is breast cancer awareness month.

It will be easier for the insider crook Dems to outflank the freak Dems.

Giants played well. I like the Carolina Panthers, I see signs of life there, they're playing decently for 0-6. I don't like seeing them ranked as the 32nd team in the league and was looking at the Giants to take that spot from them. But the Giants here, sure they get blown out each week but I've also notice that they've played a murderer's row of top teams in the league. Holy hell, go take a look! The Giants played well against Buffalo, and they still do have that 'W' feather in their cap against the Cardinals. They don't deserve the indignity of being ranked 32nd. So, I'm looking at New England, Chicago, and Denver instead. Who will allow Carolina to bypass them? Maybe the Bears with Fields injured.

Over the years, Putin has always been highly accurate in assessing the flaws in the west. It's his best trait. It's not like he's highly admirable in how he runs his own country though. During that time, he was also assassinating dissidents and cracking down on press freedom. Now, this stupid decision to provoke the Ukraine war has weakened him, pretty much destroyed his credibility, and locked him in on the world stage as a bad guy. He's not a moral arbiter of anything and he brought that distinction on himself. As for Zelinsky, he has issues too but that's another tangent.

Wordle 850 3/6 🟨 🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 great second guess led me right there

I always thought that we invented the wave in Detroit during the Tigers 1984 run, but reading about it, it started on the west coast. They credit the former Colorado Rockies hockey team, the Oakland A's and the Washington Huskies football program. Apparently Bo Schembechler had brought it to UM football home games from the west coast after playing the Huskies the fall before. With a lot of crossover baseball fans, the 84 Tigers fans do get a mention in the Wikipedia entry because we made it popular due to all those televised games during that magical summer that ended winning the World Series. So we were very early, but not the first.

Hadn't had time to pay attention lately but I like Jim Jordan quite a bit. Be it McCarthy, Scalise, Jordan, or anybody else, this may well be an impossible job to perform well in, but the country does need a SotH, so good luck if Jordan does land it.

Fine first half between two solid teams.

Agreed.

Chargers marching downfield on Dallas penalties.

Gotta put the Palestinians somewhere.

Wordle 849 4/6 🟨 🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Couldn't land the three but four was a given.

Nice effort NYG but ran out of gas on the road against a good team.

Hopefully this Giants drive, if they have a drive at all, doesn't die in FG range.

Peenie had a premonition, that's why she posted the Bimbo thread.
