The Buffalo Bills - singlehandedly healing international rifts.

Buffalo,
we could hear you singing from here.
At your home opener, many of you stood up and sang O Canada. What a moment.
Us Canadians sang along, from the stadium, in sports bars, and on couches across the country.
Then you put it on billboards across Southern Ontario. We're still singing it, you said. We be lieved you.
Well, we want to return the feeling.
On Saturday, October 3rd, the sky over Niagara Falls will go red, white and blue in Buffalo Bills colours.
You're invited. Come across the bridge, find a spot along the river and soak it all in. We'll be right there with you.
We've shared this river a long time. We share the view, the mist, a lot of family, and even more Bills games. Thanks for being a neighbour.
Niagara Falls, Canada
OCTOBER 32026 -THE HORSESHOE FALLS - WWW.NIAGARAFALLSTOURISM.COM

Do you think there is actual research on if TV fans want bench-side interviews during the game? Because I'd be happy if they never happened again

Every time a historical costumer posts that they’ve modified a technique to allow for not getting fucking heat stroke, people have a cow. Gonna let you in on a little secret that is not at all secret, you just don’t get it: Climate change completely aside, it was colder in the past.

Perhaps we should be teaching girls castration and equipping them with crush emasculators as self-defence equipment? Might make guys more cautious about whipping their tackle out uninvited…

Husband had an appointment at one of the Ford dealerships for yesterday at 7:30 for a recall. In the afternoon he got a call that they'd need both keys. I dropped him and his extra key off then they told him it "might" take hours to finish the work I had a Ford for years and had similar experiences

I have finished reading the book I hate in order to end the series I love. One of the reviews I just read said something like "the best book of 2016" and I feel bad for them. I bought a special edition with extra chapters and I'm not sure I'll ever crack it open. Back to Brimstone.

I'm not going to read that piece about how we need more brick layers because I'm married to a guy in construction and the we live that life. I remember one night we had dinner planned but husband was also on call, stuck with a client. Friends wanted to know when we'd be free. When the job is done

talked about this before and again, i'm speaking as a third generation journeyman trades worker, but working in trades is not something that any of the people who write these pieces, or honestly most of you, respect at all. It's perceived as something you do when all the "good" options are gone.

I was thinking how little I am interested in fiction explaining the backstory for trauma-related behaviors. Just let people have them. You don't need to tell us why they have them. This is in the context of Neagley not wanting to be touched.

Vega doesn't make the protein powder I've been using for my shakes anymore. So I switched to Isopure's vanilla, because I use their unflavored for my breakfast smoothies. And as long as you don't smell it or mind a sweet after burn, it's... fine.

Dupixent update: NP is super happy for me that everything is going well. And, as suspected, I could take it for the rest of the life (at least another couple of years at the least). She agrees, a low dose SSRI or anti-anxiety could help with flares, so has recommendations for my PCP and I to discuss

During a co-ed hockey game, one of husband's own teammate was a bit *too* physical with a woman on the other team and then starting calling her names. Husband (raised by an engineer and black belt mom) had had enough. He offered to step on the ice with his own teammate if he didn't stop.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.
