Georgia On My Mind (sonar21.com)

…I am not thinking about Ray’s Georgia. Nope. I am thinking about the frantic Western effort to launch a color revolution in Georgia, because that country’s legislature has the audacity to believe that domestic political groups should report if they are receiving at least 20% of their funding from foreigners. This is just...

I hope they keep Woll. There’s been some talk about his exercise and stretching routine maybe needing a look. Generally the type of injury he received at the end of game 4, can be prevented, from what I understand.

We’re slowly turning into an Authoritarian state. One can’t critique or criticize without being censured. Why? They’re afraid of the truth. Just look at the Ukrainian situation and the fact that we honoured a Nazi in parliament. People should read George Orwell - when I was a kid in grade 8, 1984 was required reading!

Did everyone see the trio of TSN sportscasters that worked with him host a 15 minute memories of Darren yesterday? Actually brought me to tears on more than 1 occasion. He was loved even if he was politically incorrect at times. Appeared to have a large personality!

To the downvoters, the context is that the $ the NATO taxpayers gave to Ukraine for construction of Defense positions in the North, were never constructed. The $ went to fake numbered companies. Surely one can’t agree that’s good. Sheesh 🙄

I’d be interested in this, but a link to a trailer is just…advertising.

That’s an even better world. I’d be happy with one where the above slogan would be acceptable.

So tell me, what is an authoritative source of factoids?

I like Quora. Encyclopedia’s on print stock used to be the gold standard due to professional fact-checkers, Wikipedia is NOT an alternative to that medium IMHO. BTW, I did not know of the definition of Factoid — Had thought it was slang for Fact.

factoid: A piece of unverified or inaccurate information that is presented in the press as factual, often as part of a publicity effort, and that is then accepted as true because of frequent repetition.

Actually, this is strictly an American definition. In original English, (Cambridge Dictionary) it means what I used it for: FACTOID | English meaning—Cambridge Dictionary I’m Canadian, and we use/follow the King’s English! July 19, 2023 — FACTOID definition: 1. an interesting piece of information, 2. an interesting piece of information. dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/…/factoid
