@sirswampthing.bsky.social there were 19 consecutive goals kicked to the same end in Giants v Lions from the last goal in the 2nd quarter to the fourth goal of the last. What is the record for the most consecutive goals kicked to the same end?

Thoughtful and thought provoking.

Rick just nails it here. And his book on Trump’s cheating at golf is a fabulous and hilarious—but also bracing—read. In fact it’s one of the best books about Trump out there. a.co/d/3f83a3F

In the whole analysis of the White House incident between POTUS, the VP and Zelensky - no journalists have mentioned there were TWO people berating a visiting head of state in English, his THIRD language. Regardless of the politics, if that's not bullying I don't know what is.

What Trump miscalculates about American power www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/interna... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au The most important piece I have read since Trump’s re-emergence. The bullying of Zelensky at the White House vindication of Wesley’s analysis.

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. Do I have this right?
