We caught the plural/singular bit after I messaged, but yeah... this brought me back to the guide. Awesome. Thanks!

OK, so in the #2026MMM bracket, "lions," and "aurochs" are both plural. Typically, unless it specifies a group of animals, it is meant to be an individual. In the combatant slides, it DOES depict TWO lions, but on the auroch slide, it only shows one. How do we find out? @mammalssuck.bsky.social

I absolutely will not buy your car if it doesn’t integrate Apple CarPlay. Period. You will NOT do better on the interface. I’ve seen you try. And you will NOT fully integrate all that CarPlay does.

Good luck to you.

Juvenile behavior.

Is this a coup? Home of the Coup-o-meter Prevention is the best medicine: Get background on coups, how they happen in a democracy, and what we can do to stop one.

Most congressional democrats have obviously never been hit in the mouth by a bully in grade school and had to figure out a response on their own as a nine year old… rather than fold like a hurt puppy.

I have all the pretty words too. No one is listening right now. Be bold. Lead.

If you vote for this… you’re a ten year old boy who has never had the alternative articulated to him.

Fact.

He’s just looking for an email with the simple text of:

“Smoooch.”

That’s it. That’s what earns the promotion.

Weak.

Will you all stop with the metaphorical “I won’t ’bend the knee.’” Crap.

Use real words if you want to talk to real Americans. Will you ever learn?

You won’t do what? What is it you are saying you will not do. No more fluffy language.

It's never good when the richest person in the world and the worst person in the world are the same person.

Trying to figure out where the coelacanth will drop. Could easily be an “only one,” but also easily a relic.

My god… it’s a steady stream.

Akin to diarrhea.

I have NEVER seen (nor have I imagined) a more sad, silly bending over in my life.

I’ve seen brilliant people change minds with argument. With influence. With intellect. Even sloppy and unfounded argument.

What an extreme capitulation. It’s almost as if tech bros were a sleeper cell.

The tech bros are already actually changing the “Gulf of Mexico” on maps?

Man, I’m changing the name of this town to Nashville. It’s a better name. I like it.

Don’t reply with “we’ve already got a ‘Nashville.’” Missouri also already has a Versailles.

Except they call it “Verr-sails.”

Ugh.
