This profile consists mainly of three things: #Jeopardy, #FFXIV, #simracing

Jonathan Bailey was a correct response on #Jeopardy tonight! (For #Bridgerton, though, not #FFXIV).

I want to make a joke about Sisyphus, but every time I think I'm close, something sets me back and I have to start over.
I have a joke about Penelope but every time I tell it, it unravels.
I have a joke about Odysseus but it takes a long time to pay off.

My daughter keeps saying "low-key" everything, but it sounds more like "Loki", so I've decided to randomly end sentences with "Jormungandr", "Midgardsormr", "Hraesvalgr", etc.

His eyes, as he stared back at her, were like magical crystal orbs, brilliant, sparkling, beautiful. Yet within, the only future she could see was the vast emptiness behind them inevitably spilling out of his mouth.

"I... I should go," she blurted, and left him alone at the table.

The fact that Japan and Ukraine are near the top, while Russia and Saudi Arabia are near the bottom, tells you a lot about what's really going on here. 😡
Here’s a screenshot of some applied 2025 tariff rates.

Now ask yourself if it’s any surprise small businesses are holding off on hiring.

*Still* accelerating.
We are racing toward an intractable no-win scenario in which every military commander in the US must choose between obeying the orders of the Commander in Chief, or obeying their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, because those choices are becoming increasingly incompatible.

Three #Jeopardy contestants failed to recognize Max Verstappen from a video clue and I can just imagine @joshtigerhill.bsky.social clutching his head in both hands and gasping.

I named my fists Red and Shirt because I'm very likely to get killed if I initiate a physical confrontation.
I named my fists Mad and Men because they'll drop you like a three-martini lunch
I named my fists Lot and 49 because it’s time for some crying

What is the farthest north and south you have ever been?

NORTH: Edinburgh, Scotland
SOUTH: Kingston, Jamaica

This covers feet-on-the-ground presence in a place. I would imagine that the arcs of various air routes might have exceeded these.
What is the farthest north and south you have ever been?

Since last week's patch to the Anniversary Update to #Fallout4, the game will crash to desktop if you have any companions accompanying you when you engage any quest-related enemies that were added in the Next-Gen Update.

It Just Works.™ 🙄

Do you suppose the #Jeopardy writers wanted Ken to *sing* "In the Year 2000..." like the old Conan O'Brien bit?

red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me
