For my Buddhist folks out there - I know the standard thought on period for reincarnation is 49 days, but just wondering, would 410 days be beyond the pale? Specific dates I'm concerned with: DOB 6/14/46 DOD 4/30/45

It’s Sundowning in America Folks, this is now an existential battle with Trump's handlers - they realize that if they lose, they will either be imprisoned for life or executed for crimes against humanity / treason. They will let Trump burn the world down first. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Wordle 1,675 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟨🟨⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Meh, I'll take the five today - I'm sure I could have done it better, but didn't really have any elimination words after guess 3

"Either the United States gets Trump in hand or this will go to the next level." Much the same can be said about Trump's egregious, inflammatory and illegal occupation of the Twin Cities. We started a Revolution against Great Britain and Crazy King George for less in Boston.

It's time folks. When Trump thinks we should attack NATO for his craven want of an ally's land, it's time. Impeach this motherf^cker or We the People will need to remove him as a clear and present danger to these United States and the World. By any means possible www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS0w...

Wordle 1,673 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Again, slow and steady wins the race. Starter word followed by the best elimination word I could think of left two, chose the more interesting of the two for the win.

Wordle 1,672 5/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 ⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Lucky guess in the end did it for me - there were a half dozen potentials, two remaining guesses and no real elimination word

Wordle 1,671 3/6 🟨⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 and another three, I'll take it.

Wordle 1,670 3/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟨🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 good second guesses lead to solution in three.

Time for a general boycott of every business that is supporting this fascist regime in any manner. Good place to start are those that are directly supporting them. Hotels. Restaurants. Airlines. Rental Car companies. Car manufacturers. Let's start with @hiltonhotels.bsky.social as an example

Wordle 1,669 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟨⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Note the elimination word at guess four. Had two paths to go down at guess three, chose the wrong one. I'll take the five.

Wordle 1,668 2/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well that was no fun whatsoever. Lucky guess on #2

Wordle 1,667 5/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟨⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Meh - what can I say, I thought of the answer on #3 but didn't like the letter elimination potential of it so skipped it until later .

The Catholic Church weighs in "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel" www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-...

Wordle 1,666 3/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Lucky second guess followed by an even luckier third - I'll take it, but no pride in this one folks.

Holly introduced me to the Gospel of Thomas ages ago, I think she was still at Harvard. My favorite of the Gnostic texts, it really lays out the truth to me - Heaven is here on earth, and it is what we make of it. There's power and comfort in these words. open.substack.com/pub/hollypet...

Wordle 1,665 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 So I was perturbed after guess 2 to notice I'd repeated the same letter in position 4 in my rush to play the word, but it worked out OK.

I'm going to post this here for folks in Minnesota. Apparently you have the statutory right to arrest someone you believe has committed a felony. I'll also post the reasons you shouldn't www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cit... legalclarity.org/can-a-citize...

Wordle 1,664 2/6 🟨🟩🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Starter word paid off today - there really were only two words left and one was pretty esoteric so I went with the simpler of the two for the win.

I still remember these signs all around #NY21 during the 2024 election - I wonder if @nytimes.com or @cbsnews.com would do a piece interviewing voters about their thoughts about this - the cognitive dissonance they must be experiencing upon Trump's invasion of Venezuela

Wordle 1,662 4/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Really?

Isn't President Trump the Prince of Peace™️? I'm so confused with this haphazard branding, I wish they could keep it straight.

Wordle 1,661 6/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟩⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Well that was fun - not guess #5 - it was an elimination word - there were maybe three words left at guess four so #5 eliminated the potentials to leave one for the final guess.

And this just in ... Had you didn't I? You just can't tell what's real any more.

Wordle 1,660 4/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Lol - 50/50 at guess three and I go the wrong way. Guess I should avoid the supermarket today - bound to chose the slow line.

Must read for anyone concerned about the use of chemicals. This is pervasive, it's used everywhere, except anywhere on my property. While you're at it read "Trust Us, We're Experts" By Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber - a look at how industry controls science www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/c...

Wordle 1,655 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 More base hits after a mediocre performance by my starter, and a so so second guess an intuitive leap yields great results. I'll take a three today in my somewhat brain fog addled mid first cup of coffee state.

More base hits, but today a three - this was an intuitive and lucky guess ... Wordle 1,654 3/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
