... & the greatest thing about "sorry" is... you don't even have to mean it!

But both are great pressure valves regardless, &, like you say, afterwards you can just get on with your day...

People just don't get how empowering the phrases "sorry" & "I don't know" are. They think they connote weakness, but it's very much the opposite. Dave Olbrich once told me the way I say "I don't know," it sounds an awful lot like "Who gives a shit?", so that can be very useful...

You could even say - though this might be a bridge WAY too far for most people on the Internet - "Sorry, I misunderstood your post."

When was Homelander ever published by DC? He's in The Boys, from Dynamite. Far as I can recall, Wildstorm never had anything to do with him...

I really wish BlueSky had an edit function. I hate coming back to messages & seeing some element that didn't get excised in the process of rewriting...

And even if it a military base inside Idaho is of some value to Qatar, what POSSIBLE value could it have to the USA?

ICE has clearly decided, Supreme Court rulings to the contrary, that anyone recording their activities is "interfering"...

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

So Trump's private airplane gift from Qatar was strings-free, huh?

Why exactly does Qatar need a military base on American soil, esp. right at a time when judges keep telling he can't use troops in American cities at will?

And is Pete Hegseth drunk? (Rhetorical question.)

PS. A ceasefire is not a peace plan... A peace plan is meant to establish a lasting peace. A ceasefire just means the parties involved stop shooting at each other... until they start up again... It's just the first fragile step down a long hard road to a peace plan...
