SPECIAL SATURDAY EDITION: totally wasn’t accidentally published after losing track of the days.
Gummy candies are made mostly of corn syrup, sucrose, gelatin, starch and water. In addition, minor amounts of coloring and flavoring agents are used. Food acids such as citric acid and malic acid are also added in order to give a tart flavor to gummies. It is often that other gelling agents are used in place of gelatin to make gummy candies such as starch and pectin. Gelatin is hydrolized collagen - which is usually from the tendons, ligaments, bones, and other waste tissue of cows and pigs. You’re welcome.
Hampton VA (Newport News) Election Board chairman calls the Sec of Defense the n-word and threatens a lynching after getting angry the military excising white nationalists. He refuses to resign, so GOP kicked him out of the party and has asked a judge to remove him.
Things not going so good around DC. In addition to Pelosi, cabinet officials, congressmen, and the mayor it seems schools are having issues too. Glad I'm still playing it cautiously.
[SB] Bears fall behind 5-0 to Utah after two innings, claw back to tie it in the fifth, win it in the top of the 8th with two runs, the last coming from pitcher Sona Halajian. Halajian pitched the bottom of the 8th for a complete game. It was arguably the shakiest game for Cal's ace pitcher, but a win is a win. The softball team is loaded with native Californians, with all but 4 being from the Golden State.
[WTEN] Visiting #9 Cal had to switch venues to indoors after high winds. Then, Cal fell behind 0-2 to Wazzu. They rallied to tie 2-2, fell behind 2-3 and then won two straight do-or-die matches.
QB Dwayne Haskins has died. He was the 15th overall pick in the 2019 draft. He was struck by a car. He was competing to be the Steeler's starting QB this year.
I thought I’d be the first (here at 3am). Got up to use the loo, saw this, and thought, “WTF? I thought it was Saturday morning. Do I have to work today?!?”
evidently, no Sunday edition.
Evidently.

That’s wild but I see a lot of jointer generations skewing closer to the GQP these days, especially in rural/red parts of the country.

House goes on the market at the end of April. We'll see how much over asking price it will go for.
I am not sure where you live or how big the house is but I’m sure it will go at least $50k over.
4 bed 2.5 ba in Berkeley hills.
You’re about to get a very big bag of cash. Probably $200k over asking is my guess.

Such awful news.
Very sad news, way too young to be gone.
Sean Manaea was lights out. Seven innings of no hit ball and 1 BB. 7ks. Too soon?

Call 'em the Triple A's
Didn’t watch it, but GIANTS!!! Sounds like a stressful game to have watched.
I listened to it while making dinner. JFC. Such much drama in 2 innings.
Who was DH yesterday? (I hate that is a valid question.)
Ruf. I am quite confident that I'm a faster runner than him. Click on this link and then choose the video "Austin Slater's Walk-off double"

The DH didn't exist during Abbott & Costello's time.
“How? He sits in the dugout all game, except for about 3 cumulative minutes when he has a few plate appearances”
Thanks for the setup, SGBear

I prefer Black Forest gummy bears over Haribo.

A Saturday DBD? Are you not entertained?!
Is that not why you are here?
Nice to have a weekend rant or two.
I thought I’d be the first (here at 3am). Got up to use the loo, saw this, and thought, “WTF? I thought it was Saturday morning. Do I have to work today?!?”
I had the same WTF, do I have work today, moment as well.
Counting to seven is hard. I set them up in batches way in advance. I guess I lost track. 🤷♂️
I was up late finishing The Dropout.
