Also, see the pinned (damn it, where did that option go) post for my real but partial #intro
So some of the USA team players felt that a silver medal in the #WorldBaseballClassic was not good enough to hang on their neck. They felt they should have had gold. But, they did not win gold, Venezuela did. Some of the USA players removed their medals before they even got back to the dugout after receiving them. That was totally classless and an insult to the team that did win. If you want gold, earn it. Such overly entitled babies they were.

OK word crew. Why do we pronounce these two words as we do and not like each other?

Apply and amply

I probably should suggest "wrong answers only" but am actually curious

What is a book that you loved and hated at the same time? And why?

Mine, Don't Stop The Carnival by Herman Wouk.

I was living in the Caribe at the time of my first reading and boy did it hit home like a sledgehammer. Every absurd little thing described actually did or would happen as written. Some things even more open and crazy.

3rd of January 2026:

The USA invaded Venezuela without approval from Congress and without declaring war. They bombed numerous sites and killed scores of innocent civilians. They kidnapped President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

In the preceding weeks, Trump spoke of the need for regime change in Venezuela. He conducted negotiations with Venezuela that were in bad faith; he didn't sincerely offer the possibility of a diplomatic outcome that halted his military buildup near Venezuela or averted his crimes against humanity in Venezuela.

People around the world think Trump started a war against Venezuela to distract everyone from his refusal to release the remaining Epstein Files, and to distract us from credible reports in the Epstein Files of Trump being a rapist and pedophile.

28 February 2026:

The USA invaded Iran without approval from Congress and without declaring war. They bombed numerous sites and killed scores of innocent civilians. They murdered Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

In the preceding weeks, Trump spoke of the need for regime change in Iran. He conducted negotiations with Iran that were in bad faith; he didn't sincerely offer the possibility of a diplomatic outcome that halted his military buildup near Iran or averted his crimes against humanity in Iran.

People around the world think Trump started a war against Iran to distract everyone from his refusal to release the remaining Epstein Files, and to distract us from credible reports in the Epstein Files of Trump being a rapist and pedophile.

March-April 2026, by my estimate:

The USA will invade Cuba without approval from Congress and without declaring war. They will bomb numerous sites and kill scores of innocent civilians. They will attempt to murder President Miguel Díaz-Canel.

Recently (and increasingly in the coming weeks), Trump has spoken of the need for regime change in Cuba. He is conducting negotiations currently with Cuba that are in bad faith; he's not sincerely offering the possibility of a diplomatic outcome that will halt his military buildup near Cuba or avert crimes against humanity he plans to commit in Cuba.

People around the world are going to think Trump started a war against Cuba to distract everyone from his refusal to release the remaining Epstein Files, and to distract us from credible reports in the Epstein Files of Trump being a rapist and pedophile.

If you are turned away at the polls in the USA, your legal response must be:

"Please give me a provisional ballot and a receipt as required by law."
