@jeopardyofficial.bsky.social Jeopardy! was so cool last night! Winner Ron Lalonde is the identical twin of 2022 13-day champ and Tournament of Champions contestant Ray Lalonde.
Bonus: they're Canadian! πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Last night I googled a show I was watching to try & get more details about the plot of the last episode of season 1.

AI assistant told me all about the SECOND-last episode & then added this touch: that the main character found some encrypted codes that solved the murder of Gh*slaine M*xwell.

Maybe you should have been more subtle than this.

I named my fists So Sweet and So Cold, because I used them to break the lock on the icebox so I could eat the plums you were probably saving for breakfast

A black-and-white studio portrait photograph features a woman from the early 20th century. She wears round wire-rimmed glasses and has her dark hair styled in a full, wavy updo typical of the Edwardian era. Her high-necked blouse is made of delicate lace with intricate patterns, featuring puffed sleeves and a ruffled collar. She gazes directly at the camera with a calm, composed expression against a plain dark backdrop. The image conveys formality and historical elegance.

This is just to say

I have binned
the condiments
that were in
the back of the fridge

and which
we could not possibly
have been saving
for any discernible purpose

I ask no forgiveness
They were antique
so cold
and so impossibly past their use-by dates.
