I saw a reddit post about the most recognizable rap lyric and this was the first one I thought about. In the comments, it sounded like people agreed with the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme just due to crossover to non-rap people with the start of Lose Yourself by Eminem as 2nd.
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. (16/19). Watched the last MI over the break with No 1 and 2. No 1 thought he had seen part 1 but realized he hadn't within about 3 min. Instead of going back to watch the first half, he decided to just keep watching.
I thought it was a good movie but they increasingly seem to be movies that Tom Cruise make just to one up stunts from his previous movies. I'm curious to see if they make another one or reboot with a different leader. I don't see Simon Pegg leading his own team.
We’ll see what mischief the prez is up to today. My run was going to take me through the Kennedy Center grounds but the place was closed and dozens of police around. I assume he’ll be there for a meeting or an announcement. More and more artists are canceling.
I think what happened is that I duplicated yesterday's to make today's so that I didn't have to recreate everything. I just replaced the title, picture, and took the existing poll and changed the entries. So I think substack thought it was the same poll so it closed 24 hours after I created the first one.
I think what I have to do is to delete and re-create the poll for new DBDs.
I asked admin to push the DBD to the top of the front page yesterday to see if we can increase participation. Maybe not to the 1K comments days but over 100. I know that SGB didn't want to push DBD above the front page posts and we have quite a few posts with all the portal movement so I may wait until FP posts slow down.
Meanwhile, right now this is like our little corner of the earth that no one knows about.
haha kidding. i think i am on tap for the posts next week and we'll see how much of a disaster that is. SGBear is on vacation in Costa Rica and we cant even properly complain
Raiders guarantee the No 1 draft pick! I have seen some draft prognosticators say the Raiders should draft Mendoza. I'm not convinced he's a No 1 draft pick. How successful do you think he'll be in the NFL?
I don't see NFL talent in Mendoza. But maybe he can be mentored by Brady. Or if Brady sees the talent in Mendoza worth #1 overall pick, then maybe he will be successful
I don't see talent that can survive with the Raiders until they solve a lot of other things. Kind of like the Jets. Has NOTHING to do with whether a particular QB can survive, much less thrive, in a healthy organization.
The Golden State Warriors lost to another shorthanded opponent on Monday evening, falling to the Los Angeles Clippers 103-102. The Clippers did have most of their rotation, including Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac available, but absent James Harden, Los Angeles was still at a clear disadvantage on their home floor. While the Clippers offense struggled all night, the Warriors offense was even worse.
Warriors got screwed when the refs missed an obvious goaltending. GP2 had a layup attempt that hit the backboard but was then blocked. Refs missed it and Kerr went off on them. This was right after a Steph foul that looked to be maybe a shooting foul and the ref waited until after the ball went in and called the foul and called it on the floor. 4 or 6 point swing due to the 2 points being removed on the goaltending, 2 FTs on the Techs on Kerr, and maybe 2 - 3 additional points on the next possession.
Obviously gameplay could've changed if the Warriors were awarded the 2 points and Kerr not given 2 techs.
I have a nephew who lives in Southern California. I found out my sister is visiting when I awoke to a message from her with a picture of their view of the court.

DBD Lunch
Maybe a Boichick bagel with some cream cheese and lox.

Politix
I can't fill in this topic like SGB could so going to need help with everyone telling me how bad this administration is.

I did just see that. Gotta use the power.
they will probably put up less of a fight than the Venezuelans
Gawd, our government is run by idiots.

Maybe it's to announce a Nicki Manaj concert.

I was wondering what happened to the poll! 👯♀️ ☺️

John Harbaugh is fired
And so are both offense and defense co-ordinators by the Commanders. Not a good day to be a coach in the DMV.
