You’re probably right, but there are other complications. The top two teams from each group, plus the best few third place teams, advance to the next round. There’s three points for a win, one for a tie, zero for a loss. If they both get zero points it may do funny things to some other groups.

I honestly have no idea.

No, it just happened. There was always a decent chance of it happening. The date was chosen for pride week. The teams were drawn into groups from “pots” they were placed in based on their performances in qualification. All of this was set long ago and then it was a matter of performance and draw.

Exactly! We have to do that when visiting their countries. Why should they get special privileges?

What happens if both sides forfeit?

Why are you not lead writer for Rings of Power?

Congress did that a long time ago, and she didn’t help when she was there.

No, I don’t vote for traitors and fascists for any reason.

Would it be possible to find a more embarrassing president?

Thank you for not using her deadname in the article.

This would actually get me to watch Eurovision.

Who is more likely to be working a job they hate 20 years down the line?

Pelicans. I used to just have a vague opinion of them as ungainly. Then I moved to the coast where I see them often. Very elegant in flight, especially when they dive. Also, you’ll never see a pelican’t.

That’s how the bird brains in Heard Island government think. The bird brains in US government don’t.

I volunteered with scouting in a Catholic facility. Both organizations had different training and procedures so I was required to take both. The youth protection in BSA is better than the catholic. As an aside, BSA didn’t have training for elder protection and the Catholics did. That was good.

False narrative. They did have a problem, but the appearance was worse than the truth. There have been strict protocols in place for decades, and they work.

There need to be some dishonorable discharges for this.
November 24, 2025 at 9:16 PM
Who hasn’t killed and dismembered a pesky journalist? I’m sure we’ve all done it in a weak moment.
November 18, 2025 at 9:07 PM
It is ridiculous. Everyone who opposed the discharge petition is just as bad as Clay Higgins who voted “no” today.
November 18, 2025 at 8:07 PM
Clay Higgins will catch well-deserved heat for voting “no” but everyone who opposed the discharge petition is just as bad. They only voted “yes” today because they knew it would pass anyway.
November 18, 2025 at 8:05 PM
Looks like they turned you into a potato.
November 18, 2025 at 6:13 PM
That’s what they all say, until they look into a mirror and see a newt.
November 18, 2025 at 6:00 PM
Would be even worse with a delegation from the US federal government.
November 16, 2025 at 12:16 PM
Excommunicate them
