Ultrawoke historians are 100% certain Thomas Jefferson was a slave holder.

So, who here actually knew that Jefferson had six children with a black woman?

And how does that influence your certainty?

Used Cars Under $20K Near You Shop Hertz Certified used cars under $20,000. We offer a powertrain warranty, available protection plans, a buy back guarantee, online car buying, and more!

FWIW. Rental companies sell their best cars directly instead of wholesaling them off. I have bought 2 cars this way and they have been solid (maintained and clean). You can't get top of the line packages, but I don't want that anyway. You can peek online e.g.

Balatro. Cost a couple of bucks, but an immense amount of replays without boring me.

Think of the possibilities. The relegation parade would be a banger. Ange, Frank, and Tudor stripped and led through the streets by a governess ringing a bell yelling "Loser, Loser, Loser."

The crowds emerge from the pubs and throw chips at them as they pass.

I'd pay good money to see that.

Recently caught a documentary "The Wrecking Crew" about a loose collection of musicians that backed a multitude of songs you've heard of.
Glen Campbell was the only one I recognized, and that was for his old TV show not this level of talent.

Yeah, but Monday Night Football is an excuse to leave work early not a commitment to a blurry Tuesday.

Album cover of "Live Dead" by The Grateful Dead.
The cover is two Celtic style beasts knotted in a semi-circle over the text LIVE DEAD
In English, the word live is a homophone with two meanings:
a verb that means to remain alive or an adjective as in live music.

Not so much for the design of the cover, but every red-neck in twenty miles asking "What the hell does live (/lΙͺv/ ) dead mean?"

So, I've told whatever it is docs keeps throwing at me no several times.

I can not get over the idea that this crap that purports to be able to create everything from email to scientific theses is unable to process "no."

When my brother sneezes, it sound like he's yelling "HORSE SH!T". My mother started refusing to go to school meetings to discuss her son's behavior.

For God's sake, they even have an "investigate a murder" tune they hum together that sounds like a Mike Post theme from the '70s.

Drawing of iconic Chrysler commercial with actor Ricardo Montalban pitching the models "rich corinthian leather." It was meant to sound luxurious and imported but, like AI, it was a lie. It was made in Newark, New Jersey.

If it's from Newark, it's pronounced rrrrrich Corinthian leather

In your opinion, does it qualify as "cognizance of guilt?" They know they've wrong millions of people who they must be protected from?

Was going to rewatch Fringe. Let's be honest, it's been a while. But the amount of commercials is prohibitive.
Time to revaluate Hulu, ESPN, package.

Wish me luck
