Well, that's it. Season's over. Well done Bills for getting as far as they did.
Time to turn to #F1 but it's a long ways to March. Skipping the livery launches and tea-leaf reading until then.

It's World #Logic Day and this year, too, I plan to make valid inferences all day, while ignoring what I'm talking about and whether what I say is true. 🙂

They are super unable to handle spicy food. I went out for Korean a bit ago and the kimchi was so not spicy, which like, kimchi? Really?

Yeah, the BBQ sauce was actually decent! But that bird surely missed more than a few leg days

Can't imagine getting wings in Lyon back then! In Paris, it's the 2nd time in 20 years that I've ever ordered wings. The first time was in a bar, and I never made that mistake again. This time it was a wings delivery place, which now seems to exist. Better wings in another 20 years, maybe? 🤣

They are (were): tiny! BBQ sauce was surprisingly fine. Hot sauce a bit strange. I guess they were ok. Scratched the itch anyway.
Ranch dressing and honey mustard are listed before blue cheese on their menu <shudder>

For this Bills playoff game, we've taken the incredibly serious step of ordering chicken wings in Paris, a city not known for its chicken wings, hoping that it magically helps. Go Bills! #BillsMafia

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I was puzzled for a moment about why DHS would release the phone footage from the murderer's point of view, since it clearly shows that the murderer was in no danger from the victim.

It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

• Edward has been buried.
