……Yeah, there were a bunch of new guys…..playing for a spot on a team…..and these games don’t mean anything…..except to the player trying to get a spot on a roster……Chicago Bears, Commanders, have a running back I’d keep…..Detroit Lions and the Houston Texans will be picking up right where they left off last season…..as will the NY Giants and NY Jets……Raider Nation still needs a QB……looks like defensive backs will continue to “swipe” at the football…..and bump the player…..instead of wrapping up the tackle…..I thought I would never say this but……I really feel sorry for the Dallas Cowboys……the sooner Massa Jerry Jones…..sells the team…..or decide to let the coaches do their jobs….the better off they’ll be…..the team has way too much talent….to continue to go on the same way…..year, after year, after year…..otherwise, this year’s 2024-25 season…..it’ll be another season of….bad calls, missed calls, bullshit calls…..and the Kansas City “Cheats”…..will be favored again…..and who knows……maybe this year…..the refs won’t help them…..then there are the commentators…..I remember saying,…. “I wish they would show the games without commentators”……and then my big brother said,…. “Well those who can’t see the game….won’t know what’s going on”……this way a while ago mind you…..and I thought about Matt when he said that…..and I also thought about the time I was watching a Korean film…..and Matt asked me what was happening…..I had a ball telling him what was going on…..anyway,…..can they at least install a button on the remote….where we can shut them up…..because I’m not looking forward to listening to Tony Romo’s BS for another season….all the other teams….about what we expected them to be….so….kick the ball in a few weeks….and men will have a great excuse….to ignore their partners….and our partners can wait…..until it’s 4th down….one yard to go…..and our team needs to win…..and ask for the credit cards to go shopping.
MAN SURRENDERS TO POLICE AND CONFESSES TO MASS STABBINGS……The 26-year-old guy just walked into a police station and said…. “I did it”…..the police are still investigating as to whether or not he performed these horrific acts…..and will be charged with murder, attempted murder, and membership of a foreign terrorist organization…..an Islamic State Group claimed responsibility…..but didn’t immediately provide evidence….of a relationship with the attacker…..and ISIS claims the stabbing attack….to avenge Muslims in Palestine…..now a little bit of info on the guy…..he’s Syrian…..arrived in Germany in 2022 after leaving war-torn Syria….the special task force (SEK)……stormed the refugee center he was staying at….and arrested a 15-year-old boy…..who knew about the attack in advance…..since what went down in Solingen…..many city festivals that were coming up within the next months…..have been cancelled…….and yes this attack….will fuel the already debate about immigration and asylum in Germany…..and it comes ahead of key regional elections in the East next week….where the far right is eyeing gains…..and in France….a man was arrested for setting a fire outside a synagogue…..it’s the second synagogue arson attack in recent months…..the French took him out after a gunfight.
WHEN YOU’RE LOSING…..YOU’LL JUST ABOUT SAY AND DO ANYTHING…..Trump pledge to be “great for women and their reproductive rights” angers advocates……a legal move could let him delay his hush-money sentencing until after the election…..he issued a new WWIII warning…..over Kamala Harris…..he goes menstrual on her VP choice…..and calls him “Tampon Tim”…..this man is so hateful, stupid and just don’t give a damn…..to even take the time to realize…..insulting people…..doesn’t help your cause…..and he’s wondering what people are calling him “weird?”……I don’t…..I get it…..yet, he still begs his cult followers for money…..and they give it to him…..ask them to “prepare”…..and they do…..I hope the judge in NYC…..does not extend his sentencing hearing…..until after the November election…..throw his ass in the joint NOW!
WILL PHILLY’S CAR-FREE STREETS BOOST BUSINESS?…..Several streets near Rittenhouse Square in Center City…..will temporarily close to vehicle traffic every Sunday…..in September during a pilot program…..a lot of cities in Europe have been doing that for a while…..to control auto traffic…..pollution and congestion……and restaurants, shops, bars, cafes…are thriving……places to sit and rest….little parks are popping up….and it’s so much better with less car traffic…..and more foot traffic….yeah, humans still get on your nerves….but it’s still way nicer without cars.
A STARK SOCIAL DIVIDE: ADULTS WITHOUT A COLLEGE DEGREE LIKELY TO HAVE NO CLOSE FRIENDS….Survey finds…..another survey……nearly a quarter of adults with a high school diploma….or lower education level said they had no close friends…..and this number was even higher for Black adults in that group….35%…..and only 10% of those with a college degree said the same…..these findings come from a survey of around 6,000 adults…..conducted by the Survey Center on American life…..a nonprofit that researches how people’s lives…..are shaped by culture, politics and technology…..Daniel Clark….the center’s director and a co-author…..of a report he published…..summarizing the findings…..said this….. “It has one for college-educated folks that seems to be relatively intact…..and then one for those without a college degree…. which seems to be in taters…..this finding comes amid a documented rise in social isolation nationwide”…..and there you go Danny…..a college degree has nothing to do with the lack of social interaction……or social isolation…..people are inadvertently “CHOOSING” to opt out of society…..it’s called….. The Phone”…..your findings also said….around 30% of adults….say they felt lonely at least once a week over the past year…..and 10% say they’re lonely every day……I don’t know how much information you expect to obtain from only 6,000 subjects….in a country with millions of citizens…..but ok…..the degrees have nothing to do with loneliness…..and our phones are only an illusional escape from reality…..where people choose to be safe, comfortable…..and according to many…..find new friends…..the reality…..you meet the people you are supposed to meet in life……and there’s nothing we can do about it…..and we might become friends, partners, enemies…..or move on…..and meet new friends…..whatever happens during your lifetime…..is “supposed” to happened…..there’s no changing it…..I found this article on NBC NEWS (Health)…..there’s plenty I disagree with…..including their reasoning for loneliness….but it does have a few interesting points.
MY SISTER LOIS….found something I never thought about….but agree with 100%….. “Marijuana is healthier……than McDonald’s.”
DEAR YOUNG KIDS…..WHO THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING…… “In the 1970s, hitchhiking was a common way to get around for those who didn’t have a car or were too young to drive…….sticking out your thumb often led to a ride from a kind stranger…..embodying the era’s carefree and adventurous spirit…….while hitchhiking seems unthinkable today…..it once symbolized the freedom and trust that defined the open road in the ’70s.”……yeah, we’re old…..but we did things besides…..keeping our faces buried…..into a piece of technology……and let it define my total existence.
