Okay, since I apparently have to be explicit about this -

When I post answers in word games, I only post blatantly wrong answers. Anyone foolish enough to respond with correct answers gets blocked, as I operate under a no-spoilers policy.

I'm half-tempted to email for a copy.

I mean, I already know a litany of reasons I'd lose elected office in NYC by a ladslide that have nothing to do with bagels.

And we can say that knowing that there was never anything creepy or untoward about Woody Allen and his daughters.

I’ve missed hearing Woody Allen’s voice - I’d been so rattled this week and there he was, his full self.

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

You know, it's been almost 3 years since Pokémon Scarlet/Violet came out. Surely people are... less cavalier about what they bring into high-level Tera raids.

Due to old habits, I checked out in game 1 when I saw the strike zone they gave Ohtani.

Imagine writing this and thinking you're brilliant. Just try to imagine it.

Well, every moment that didn't involve California condors. Even Cash himself admitted that was not cool.

I think the only way something that far in is getting out is in the ER, and I don't think they let you film that for OnlyFans.
