I thought this should go under US politics as their political system allows this to happen. Another symptom of a broken society. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jan/08/shooting-of-teacher-by-six-year-old-a-red-flag-for-us-says-mayor-virginia

If it all goes away that quietly I'd be surprised. Trump's election was a symptom of a diseased society. The disease isn't being treated. It will resurface. It's like a nasty STD. If you don't treat the root causes it will always come back. Next time they might get a smarter " Trump like leader ".

I thought this was an excellent article on some of the causes/ results / possible outcomes of the Russian invasion. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/26/ukraine-war-revenge-of-history-how-geopolitics-shaping-conflict

Hmm. How can something be funny, scary, disturbing, disgusting, ridiculous, moronic, and weird all at the same time ? And packed into such a tiny clip. That's the real question.

As Spock would say, " Fascinating " https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/dec/01/scientists-simulate-baby-wormhole-without-rupturing-space-and-time

Back in the 90s I was working in a mine in the northern Canada. We had a Croatian bull cook ( assisted the cook, cleaned rooms..... ) in camp. He was a jovial, friendly, always smiling, joking with everyone guy that everyone loved. One day the foreman and I were watching a foreign movie on the rec room TV ( it was a sweet camp ). It was about a family trying to get into the west from the Serbia, Macedonia, Turkey area. Y#### had come in the room and was standing behind where we were sitting.At some point my foreman said " Y#### who are these people ? " There was no answer so he asked again and we both turned and looked at him. I can only describe his face as a picture of hate,anger, disgust. I have seen lots of angry men but never a look of pure, utter hatred. It was shockjng. He then literally spat out. " They're peasants ! Dirty filthy peasants ! " and stormed off. I'm not sure what he had gone through or what his life experiences were . The Croatian war was on and he had always said he wasn't going back till the war was over. I've met and dealt with lots of people who were racist, or anti gray, ....etc but never before or since seen a look like that. Close to terrifying.

The 1st game showed we belong in the World Cup. This game showed we have a ways to go before we are any kind of a threat .

Whoa , that was close.

A huge goal. The 1st ever !

Much like some Jet games I found myself yelling " hit the net "

They had their chances. But no finish. They did go toe to toe with the 3rd ranked team

Canada is off to a damn good start in the 1st 30 mins. To bad on the missed penalty kick

It was a fun season but a disappointing end. Thanks Bombers . And thankyou to MBB for all the great football talk. We'll be back.

Especially the last play before the kick.We had lots of time ,Hand it to Brady and let him do his thing. I don't get it

Still time

Damn

Graaaannntttt !!!!!!!

Answered back !

That's our Collaros

To easy

Not the start needed

Not a great 1st half but we get stronger as the game goes on . We got this.

All right, that feel's better

TD!!!!!
