The sound the three of them could make together is such a vibe.

I don’t usually do starter packs
But giving this one a shot.
Will sort out the ones that annoy me as they annoy me

Thanks

It’s amazing how many magazines are available on Libby
If this is you, an option to check: My library's Libby subscription includes Cook's Illustrated on its magazine rack, and many America's Test Kitchen books on the digital book shelves. (In addition to the paper copies on shelves, of course. Cookbooks are super popular library resources!)

To highly recommend this book, I got my copy at a Goodwill (haven’t checked if it’s in print).
Every one of these is a banger
Going through this book with Apple Music

I hate that the Ravens stole the Vikings ineptitude

That was 6 minutes of truly sloppy football capped by two missed chip shots.

And again
But Ravens this time
Wow it’s really weird to watch a Gary Anderson situation happen to someone else

Or to cover on kickoffs.
Apparently it is no longer cool
To cover receivers.
In all my years of watching football, I have never seen two wide receivers that wide open on two different plays for long tds

Steelers should consider covering receivers.

It’s really difficult for me
To stay engaged with a sport that is nothing but commercials.
How do people do this?

Or Rhode Island
No one ever pays attention to Rhode Island
I think it should be their turn
I really dislike how much attention people are paying to Minnesota nationally right now. Please pay attention to [rolls dice] Delaware instead.

He shares a birthday with the slightly less famous me.
But at least I am 8 years younger.
Happy Birthday Michael Stipe!

I can no longer keep track of which Malle

Believing what we see is an evolutionary advantage.
Until the last year or so, not believing what one saw got one branded as crazy
And probably led to a quick death.
the number of people who can't clock bad AI-generated video footage as such really makes me more sympathetic to the people who fell for the Cottingsley fairies. Our eye for the real in video or photo footage isn't natural, it's a learned skill.

Hate watching Aaron Rodgers

Let's see if this will cheer you up - Valais Blacknose sheep in the snow.

They're from the Valais region of Switzerland. Known for their unique appearance, they have contrasting black patches with a shaggy white coat.

Both male & female sheep of this breed grow spiral-shaped horns.

They just like blowing things up.
They have zero plans beyond that
Frantic backpedaling from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to AP: the US *won’t* govern Venezuela, but will press changes through an oil blockade.

Already finding it harder than they imagined.

Fans paid full
Price for this Vikings Packers exhibition.

That was a sweet extra time goal by Chelsea.
So so sweet
Folks, Arsenal are six points clear AND we've wiped out their goal difference advantage

It’s a tragicomedy that we invaded a country to secure oil reserves when the rest of the world is rapidly moving to wind and solar since they are basically free power

Talk about a day late and solars and dollars short.

Happy to say an auspicious day with Mr Stipe
Happy birthday fellow traveler
