And it's OK to do that now, it's a source of pride.

Checkmate.

so the context to this tweet is that when Truss first started getting into hot water, a Brit tabloid started a live stream of a head of lettuce, asking whether it or the Gov would last longer. Today someone tweeted this:

Verlander with a shaky start, settles down, gives up 1 in 6, leaves the game and his mates hit him a couple of dingers to put him up 3-1

Duren was the story tonight for me. Losing Bagley may really expedite his development. You see why many thought he was a top 5 pick when he was in high school. Playing one year at Memphis should not have dropped him to 13 overall. Also, it is noteworthy that Cade had no fouls after picking up two in the first quarter and three turnovers is acceptable also. Only 12 for the team. That is a big reason the Pistons won.

I'm dealing with a MAGA blowhard on the other side of a cubicle wall from me. He got me all wrong when he found out I was a shooter. My co-workers sorted that out for him. I mention my wife is going downtown to go to work and he'll throw in a quip about needing a bullet proof vest. I will pointedly ask him if he believes there is some reason why she would need to worry about crime during the day in a city. Trying to get the "because of all the black people" truth to come out. He tried to tell me about some story about a gun buyback program where some guy ripped off some city for a ton of money with fakes. I asked him if he routinely cheers on tax cheats too. He claims he is a libertarian. That's code for "white guy who works for the Federal Government who thinks wokeness is a huge problem"

I enjoy so very much that Arlington Cemetery was put in that man's front yard. If you are going to screw over your country and get away with it with your neck, might as well understand what you caused.

a couple observations: 1) that game was fun! 2) were going to lose a lot of games.

I would bet there are literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of red hats who would gladly lay you low, at the very least, for badmouthing the first-ever nude-modeling daughter-of-a-member-of-the-Communist-Party First Lady.

Men need to understand this could be their wives, daughters,sisters, even mothers in the case of 18-20 year olds.

Baez will be our shortstop in 2023. We have many many far worse things to take care of.

Pass on selling low on Baez. Selling low is part of what wrecked our system in the first place.

Oh sure, Mike was really hurting financially during those times. I have no idea how he survived.

Also “how do you like my push up bra?”

Cossa stops 21 of 23 shots. Named 1st star in Griffin's 3-2 win

That game was a microcosm of what a young team is all about, both Orlando and Detroit. Big ups and downs, but It was highly entertaining to watch. The biggest thing that stuck out to me is that I didn't expect Duren to make this much impact this soon. Just one game but he looked like a young Amare Stoudemire out there, a better defensive version. Very impressive and I'll be interested to see how Casey monitors his minutes when Noel and Bagley return. I don't know if he's ready to be a starter yet but he's a better fit than Stewart if they insist on having Bey and Bogjanovic on the court at the same time. Ivey is a blur, as we knew already, but what I liked about his game tonight is that he was largely under control which is his biggest question mark. If he can learn how to play a different paces, look out league. IT won't be discussed much but CoJo and Hayes really kept this team afloat when it looked like Orlando was going to blow them out. They kicked off the comeback with CoJo's shotmaking and both of their defensive intensity, along with Duren. Bogdanovic awesome, exactly the type of vet that they need. Fun game overall. Loads of talent on both sides. Wagner is really impressive, I never thought in a million years that he'd be this good as a pro but he's the real deal.

I'm not shy. At all. Funny... but all the Trumpers around me... family, friends, co-workers... bite their tongues around me. I let them know in no uncertain terms how corrupt, moronic, fascist, lying-out-of-their-asses, Trump and his supporters are. And they know I will pull absolutely no punches whatsoever. I want it that way. I refuse to put up with lying BS. I refuse to put up with shitting all over my democracy or the Constitution of the United States. And I'm not shy about that at all.

It's easy to see star potential in Ivey as long as he doesn't kill himself out there in the process.

Orlando made the right play I think leaving Stew in that crucial situation and he made them pay.

Don’t you think motivated men should be part of that mix? Jesus. It’s always laid at the feet of it being a woman’s responsibility now how the vote goes. Come on. Takes two to tango. (edited because it somehow doubled up. I’m old and sometimes repetitive, but not THAT a bad. 😁)

There is a reason Chark signed a prove-it deal. If he doesn’t prove it, as it seems, cut ties at the end of the year. JayMo would take his touches away anyway next year.

Yesterday we learned that James McDivitt passed away last week. He was a Gemini and Apollo astronaut. Part of the second group. In a space themed Facebook page I belong to someone shared this first person story by Jim. So one time early in our training, the nine of us were off somewhere in a big city at an expensive hotel, and they’d given us a food allowance that really didn’t go very far. And about the third day Neil comes up to Ed White and me and says, “C’mon, I know where we are eating tonight.” So Neil takes us down to a huge banquet room with the biggest buffet we had ever seen, and tells us the Teamsters are having their annual convention and you can do go through the line as often as you wanted and no one would ask any questions. “You sure?” we ask. “Sure,” says Neil. “I ate here last night.” So we got our food and we’re sitting there in the booth minding our own business, enjoying our food, when along comes this big guy, stands there at the end of the booth with his arms folded and growls, “You guys aren’t truck drivers, are you?” We start to explain that no, we are hungry pilots, but he waves his hand and says, ”Look, I don’t care who you are, as long as you’re quiet. But if you know the guys in the corner over there, you might warn them that they’re about to get kicked out.” “So we look, and sure enough, it’s Conrad and Lovell yucking it up at the top of their lungs.”

I like to aim lower. Their third baseman and backup catcher seem OK. Maybe we could add them. Anyone know who they are. Did we give them away for nothing?
