it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"

Ted Lieu: “A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files — the best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as Trump & Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up & release all the Epstein Files as required by law”

A 4️⃣ is a good score. Got the same - say no more ☺️!

An excellent 3️⃣ - 😎👍 from me!

𝘓𝘪𝘭𝘺, 𝘙𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘺⁣
& 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘑𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴,
precious memories
reading Nancy Drew
to a Dylan track

even then
I was nostalgic
for a time & place
I'd never been—
1960s USA

mild sundays
dreaming I was
someone else
someplace else

by the end
of my reverie
Dylan's song was done
& Nancy had solved
her mystery.

Sharing your score - a mighty fine 4️⃣☺️!

Well saved

Sharing your 4️⃣ - must be a good score ☺️!

If it wasn't so, I'd say they're being defiant!

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

An excellent 3️⃣ - 😎👍 from me!

A 4️⃣ must be a good score ☺️!

Why am I thinking there's a touch of "The Walrus and the Carpenter" about all this?🤔

Steve Rosenberg: Russia seeks diplomatic and economic gains from Iran war President Putin pits himself as a potential mediator but that's not an easy sell, writes the BBC's Russia editor.

Probably not the outcome most of us were hoping for.

Absolutely, flabbergastingly insane.

Happy Thursday. If only I had been a little more brave, line 3️⃣, but caution can stop you falling through the floor. Two clue verses today - I couldn't make my mind up!

You too ☺️

🙏

Nicely solved ☺️!

Go you! Go me! We both got 3️⃣😎👍!

Absolute power means freedom from being troubled by guilt. Guilt means vulnerability. Absolute power's first call is to deny vulnerability absolutely.

Nothing can be more diabolic than absolute power, and the striving for it creates chaos & evil with every move.

Understand the nature of The Beast.

Restricted Daily Follow @RestrictedDaily I'm genuinely confused. We're dumping Epstein files, parading names, laying out rape and pedophilia like it's a damn spreadsheet, and then... nothing. No arrests. No perp walks. No accountability. So what's the plan here exactly? Are we just supposed to stare at this filth, rage-scroll, and pretend exposure equals justice? Because right now it feels like the system is saying, here's the proof, here's the monsters, now go back to work and shut up. If this isn't followed by real consequences, then all this "truth" isn't a reckoning — it's just another sick reminder that there are two sets of rules, and the worst people somehow never play by either

Thank you, Cindy 🙏

Happy Wednesday. A midweek 3️⃣ and the world's number one mascot - well I think so 😁!

Wow! Outstanding! Well solved!

Thank you :)

Woohoo! Yippee! Sharing a 3️⃣😎👍!
