I've grown to love and look forward to this weekly Friday feature. It displays people and traditions, beauty and tragedy, offering a view beyond our US troubles. The world is large, and we have lots of company. I feel better when reminded of that.

Oh Tom. I'm sorry abt your brother 🖤 I had to say goodbye and I love you to my dad online while his hospital nurse held up an iPad for him; they wouldn't allow us in. Same deal with burial–freezer until the ground thawed (he passed in Dec.), no service. Dad voted for Trump, btw
given the caliber of people he hires to work for him, that could simply be aides stealing the silverware

I often make groups of five the word to move shows eventually in the group of three that needs it (also do my grouping in a word doc first before final clicking)
yellow was hard because 'personality' could also go with the splits...I left that group of five for awhile

Welcome Tom Nichols, from an unenrolled Democrat For you it was Susan Collins+Kavanaugh, for me it was DNC's thumbing the scale for Hillary over Obama Someday, we can return to cancelling each other out at the polls, but for now, let's hold hands during this horrible Trump carnival ride
Eating w/my mom in her nursing facility dining room with her friends, all in varying stages of dementia, I noticed a man hunched over his table eating alone. I asked if we could invite him to sit with us and simultaneously, five women shook their heads no. Even w/memory loss, they knew. Stay away

Proud elderly white hippie, grateful not to be a mean bald man consumed by hate–that'll give him severe digestive issues if he ever gets to be my age!
Totally agree! Except for this. My day job: art prof at a Boston college of art and design where unanimous faculty view is that Jon McNaughton needs some serious life drawing classes in order to gain skill in human anatomy. Also portraiture, impossible to recognize some of his subjects!
you think they'll be hiring actors to play the criminals? I'm available!
Finally! Exhibits displaying dinosaurs of the future, and the future of Futurism! Feels like I've waited my whole life! xo, Nature lover and artist P.S /s

oh rats...sorry ☹️ such a Wyna thing...word in first position followed by vague but possibly related terms sometimes I fall for it too if I hit the shuffle button before beginning it can help avoid her little positioning traps

I had to create a sanity maintenence procedure: 1. see him talking on vids posted here, mic is turned off. Glance, then scroll on. 2. find out later what he was talking about by reading silently, journalists I trust.
Never make eye contact with other drivers. Enter the rotary while staring straight ahead and keep driving (Rt. 93 for me)
purple so bad, wondering if Wyna Liu's summer intern wrote it
Oh. Lifelong Mac user here, that explains it :)
Connections Puzzle #789 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 worst purple ever! thank goodness for default leftovers! what the heck is Ms. Paint??
Pete Souza (Obama's photographer, whose IG you must follow) predicts he's going to build a golden dome in that spot. He says no way he could see where the new ballroom is intended to go from there, as claimed
except Louis XIV commissioned renowned sculptors, skilled painters, and master craftspeople to fry our eyes out with work that took years to complete, and featured ravishing detail. Trump ordered up polymer forms, gold spray paint, and hot glue from Home Depot
thank goodness it wasn't scientists/inventors....I know even less about them than sportsball! new respect for you ,sir😂

Connections Puzzle #782 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 I love a no red herrings day🐟 four groups of four that can't be anything else have a great weekend, fellow connectors
You know who else had a golden ballroom? LouisVI. Things didn't turn out so well for him
I adore Jonathan Capehart. I ended my WaPo subscription a few years ago, missed him, but never missed his segment on News Hour. Hoping The Atlantic might scoop him up!

"Little Willie"? 😂 He's a beast!
wanted to tell Dr. Russell that the educator discount to The Atlantic costs $49.00/yr. If she doesn't wish to read Tom Nichols, the journalist bench is quite deep there. Some days I have readers' guilt for being unable to get to everything. Pony up, Dr.
Connections Puzzle #778 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 purple was leftovers, could not guess thought maybe partnering, but cult didn't fit what's a cult movie anyway?
