Welcome to bingo! If you have any questions I’m happy to help.

You can pry my em dashes — which I use regularly in writing because I love them — from my cold dead hands (To be fair, I really like parenthetical statements too, could be an ADHD thing).

My general head cannon for the discrepancies especially with the additions is that the books are written by Murderbot as a record and it has admitted to being an unreliable narrator including glossing over things that it’s not interested in or doesn’t understand the value of. The show is more of a third-person perspective so it’s entirely possible some of what we are seeing was those moments that Murderbot didn’t see fit to include.

Can you pull up a bookmarked item to read when you don’t have an active network connection? If yes, that’s a “read it later” service. If no, then that’s why they are useful.

In showing that this game is about the spirit of the challenge not the letter, I’m announcing up front that this year I am putting less emphasis on the different authors encouragement for myself. I also typically go for blackout.

I have discovered a ton of great series in the last few years by various authors but resisted binging series because they didn’t count for cards I was doing. This year I’m going to try and catch up on a bunch of those series and record them as they fit the squares and be less concerned about making sure each author is unique. (I’m still going to push to add unique authors as well, I’ll just be more open to same authors as fallbacks)

I’m super excited to dig in.

But it sure helps support the reasonable doubt that a prosecutor is trying to prove beyond.

Fixed it…

“I mean, you could exsanguinate like half the Republican caucus. Imagine what a bunch of fresh blood would do to the place!”

I mean, think of the chaotic implications of letting states determine who is eligible to be on their ballots by following a federal standard laid out in the constitution.

Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

It’s difficult out there for voters of both parties. Republicans can’t get anyone to match with them in DC on Tinder/Grinder and Democrats in some areas are dealing with being targeted for physical harassment and abuse.

A Bluesky post by Jamelle Bouie stating: “biden should have the IRS make a giant check with $300 billion written on it, and then he should hold a press conference touting new enforcement on rich tax cheats with the check as a centerpiece. i am not joking”

I can’t put my hands on the actual statistics so my numbers could be off, but I was listening to an interview with Chris Murphy where he said that in the last 10 years, there’s been a jump greater than an order of magnitude in immigration 500/year to 8000/year with no increase in tools or people to assist.

My mom routinely calls me by my brother’s name or the dog’s name. When I passed out one time, she called my wife by the name of my first girlfriend from almost 30 years ago trying to get her attention. She’s in her young 60’s. Im in my 40’s and do it regularly with people I know.

No1curr if you goof in a speech occasionally.

The reason it matters for Trump is because he makes it a point to remind others how “smart” he is and how he aced a cognitive test. He also has a history of swapping women’s names as part of his trashing women who challenge him playbook.

Did my typical, set up an account to squat on my username so no one else gets it then signed back out to likely never sign in again…

I’m pretty sure it’s Red Hood (aka Jason Todd)

W was the start of the current polarization era with Obama being the catalyst for the tea party chuds to pour fuel on the fire. With the current polarization, you’ll never see a president have the same sort of general approval or popularity we used to see.

OH, is it also “DARK HUMOR” to point out how unrealistic and painful that wrist angle is‽‽

This is incredibly offensive; even with good trigger discipline (which is unclear at best from this image), don’t rest your gun’s barrel so close or even pointing at your leg.

I strongly thought in the 90’s that Colin Powell would be the first black president. I didn’t fathom the decent into madness that the Republican Party would succumb to.

Don’t have to license a patent if your worst case scenario is you just buy the company.

There’s a stupid conspiracy that’s parroted by people in The US like Rand Paul that the US (in general and Anthony Faucci in specific) helped intentionally create SARS-CoV-2 by funding Gain of Function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
