Hoshoryu in the past has lost matches by committing to throws past when they were clearly not going to work. He backed out early today and did something else.

Yes
(Very mildly) spookily I found myself thinking "heavens to murgatroyd" this very evening for no apparent reason
"chicken tikka masala" is one of the named examples in the article introduction

Good luck to this cast of weird creatures who would never fit in in a normal world (and to the PokΓ©mon representing them)

Those experts don't count, Nome
However, the Great Noticing is now beginning
Correct.
Ryuden is bad and should be roundly booed. On the plus side he's been demoted to Juryo division, so people watching the highlights are unlikely to ever see him; on the down side he's almost certain to bob back up to makuuchi next tournament like an unflushable turd
Or you could watch it live on eg Leo Dickinson Sumo on twitch
You don't need to know anything about sumo to watch it, you'll soon pick it up and the commentators will help. You just need to pick a guy to cheer for and then be pleased or annoyed, then repeat 14 more times
If you don't live in Japan you can watch English language commentary highlights 24 hours or so after each day, on the NHK website. Good commentators, high production values, NHK showoffs

The sumo starts again tomorrow!
You can watch it on Japanese TV, if you live in Japan. NHK think they're so smart with their multi camera setup and basic competence, whereas scrappy underdog Abema only uses one camera because they can't figure out a way to use less
Look, we didn't start "we didn't start the fire". That was

I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again
Oh no!
It was a 3 napkin meal
I am sated (and slightly tomatoey)
Nice nice nice!

@theednawatkins.bsky.social inspired by your ridiculously good sandwich the other day I have made gourmet sausage sandwiches.
Chili garlic sugo I made yesterday, caramelised onion, on oven-warmed ciabattas
They're really good!
But I don't think I'll be able to finish the second one

Is it bad, now, the thing that was obviously always bad?
Is it bad now that it's failing, when somehow it wasn't bad when it was obviously going to fail?
Now it's Noticing Time have you suddenly always been against it?
Do you think we've all had temporal lobe injuries and can't form memories?
It is empty, and worthless, and it was absolutely empty and worthless from the get go. Replacing 40 years of Thatcherism with more Thatcherism. Landlordism and house prices and privatisation is good and trying to be just racist enough for imaginary racist floating voters and fuck our existing ones
