Normal is Ok:
I’m for litterless,
On X, once twitterness
On all the other flitterness;
Could they all eschew.
The daily bitterness.

That ad featuring the estranged mother of Ramaswamy foe is weird. It feels like a Netflix series.
Another tough Tids{ Pickin week at 7-7, bringing us to 53.5-39.5 (57.5). This week looks doable which this year is a danger sign in itself. Tonight's game looks like a winner for the TV audience. But not so much for the injury riddled Patriots, Chi’s D is good and I'm concerned about a lot neuvo O linemen for the P’s.. Bears QB Williams is playing very well. I'll go Bears, (Ugh) (Good news for me and Pats fans, I’ve missed every Thursday c game this year,) Some other nice meaningful top team games are KC-Seattle, Green Bay-Detroit and Cincy and Baltimore. Minn is on top of NFL Central but GB and The Lions are in position to strike. I like the Pack. Surprisingly the Bengals and Ravens sare looking up at the Browns so this is important for both. I like Cincy, Seattle is missing Walker. KC and Mahomes is loving him. Patrick will run the Chiefs O and beat the the Seahawks. Another decent game could be the Falcons and Niners. Could be. But Brock Purndy just impresses me more each week. I'll stick with San Fran. Houston won last week. The Giants lost and have scraped by a couple of times to claim NFC First place by default. I’m liking Houston. Cleveland is another first place team going up against a surprise winner Tenn. I’m a Browns fan. Briwns have won te Attitude Adjustment Award for the frst half of 2026.
Of the rest, I have to pick the Vikes over a demoralized Indy, and a disappointing Rams finally getting it right against a fading Raiders. Philly and Dallas was supposed to be a big Division game but both are flops. I’ll take Dallas. Denver is highly acclaimed but have just eked out wins, They will continue eking against Arizona. New Orleans can play really well and Pitt can play really not so well. I’ll pick the Saints. This brings us to Miami and the NY Jets. Be still my beating heart. The Jets make mistakes but the Dolphins really are bad. I'll go Jets. Lastly, I can’t see Tampa Bay beating Carolina. Actually, I kind of like the Panthers overall.
It’s hard to get a handle on the stock markets right now. Too many mysteries are in play.
Yeah, this is one of those days when I dream of having a peaceful night watching my Pats play Chicago, hoping for an upset... and then falling asleep before halftime. But teh anticipation will be tense.

Up to a 199 Million episodes exist globally and 619 million people listened to podcasts worldwide. I have never heard one, and I don’t have a case of FOMO.
Wall Street thinks the sky’s the limit for SpaceX.
Maybe I could get Google to read my Tids each day, and I’d have a podcast.
An intellectual is somebody who can listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger.
