Great list! I’ve read 4 of those: Pachinko, Blindness, Song of Solomon and TEWWG. My favorite is blindness although Pachinko was the most enjoyable. Blindness was just more creative imo.

Must be extra for you with the way the Classico is going 😂

😂

Arsenal have become so frustrating to watch lately 🤦🏾‍♂️

Now whenever I rewatch Saka’s goal, I’m forced to think about Gandhi stroking a kitten, and wonder why that would be softer than anyone else doing the same thing!

Crowd at Paris Marathon 2025

Biting the Paris marathon medal

Completed the Paris Marathon on Sunday. Seriously considered backing out up till the morning of due to a bad cold I couldn’t shake. Glad I pushed through to completion despite my horrible time. #paris2025 #parismarathon

Haha same. I ride that boring BREvCHE game to its lame and predictable conclusion rather than switching ti the obviously more entertaining match lol

Black Mini Golden Doodle being a good girl

Here’s Zoe on a walk in the woods. Hope you feel better soon

Oh! Did you mean abstinence? Never heard it referred to as absence before. I agree it does not work though!

God? It was a sincere question even though it sounds daft.

Absence? What is that in this context?

Were you texting Raya? 😂 seems like he knew too and just let him do it!

When he was in 3rd grade my son chose electricity generation for a school project. I helped him create the device (copper coil with spinning magnet inside). We generated 0 volts or amps during the live demo 😂 But I did learn a lot more about energy/electricity and gained respect for its use at scale

The Expanse. Was a great series but could have been even better if it was started on a better network than SyFy.

What?? I’ve watched all but the last episode of Season 2 and I haven’t picked up on a single reference 😂

Absolutely! Whatever fortune they had they were able to capitalize on it due to the quality of their squad. Especially in attack. I think Arsenal do deserve second but this could’ve been our season if we focused on improving weaknesses from prior seasons. Imo that was rotation in attack positions

Apple’s new sci-fi series “Murderbot” to make global debut May 16, 2025 Today, Apple TV+ unveiled a first look at “Murderbot,” created by Chris and Paul Weitz and starring Alexander Skarsgård

Looking forward to checking out this series. Read a couple of the books and found them enjoyable. Should be a fun series:

I agree that Liverpool winning is best. In light of the state of our team currently and the appalling performance yesterday, securing a top 4 (or 5 technically) finish should be the priority now. Which means maintaining the current buffer against other top 4 teams. Wasted opp for sure this year 😢

*Guy. Nate Silver is gay. Not that it explains what happened to him any better. But at least we can let women off the hook 😂

There’s slow and then there’s slower than a goalkeeper slow 😂

Time to make the inverted keeper position a reality

Welp. That’s why I never bet on sports 😂

Why on earth would Sterling be allowed to take a free kick at this point 🤦🏾‍♂️

I think it was over long before that but that injury might have been the final nail

Trossard and Nwaneri! Come back will start around the 80th minute just to stress the fans out 😂

Still believe we’ll win this game. #COYG

Might’ve been a penalty if Ashley Young wasn’t so dramatic in diving. It honestly made the pulls hard to judge as meaningful. Don’t think there’s a blanket rule that all shirt pulls in the box are penalties

Ashley Young needs to work on his diving. That shirt pull could’ve been a penalty if he sold it better. But both feet in the air as if a grenade exploded behind you is the wrong move. #EVEMU

Agree that games will be difficult to win without some of our regular attackers back. I’m not that hopeful for the Merino experiment but with better choices I’m grateful we have that. A silver lining is our defense! If the worst case for the next few games is draws and 1-0 wins, I’ll take it!
