@fedward Exactly. My usual MO—work through the easiest groups (without submitting) & then submit the remaining 4 words even if I haven’t figured out the theme—worked perfectly today because everything except purple was obvious.
@kims I do not want or need an explanation because the real problem is the stupidly cavalier handling. On exceptional occasions I have held that much cash but I had the basic goddam sense to take it directly, DO NOT PASS GO, home or to the bank as the situation required. Throwing it into a bag, taking a frolic & detour for dinner & drinks, and *not watching said bag like a hawk* is the act of an entitled moron.
@GottaLaff From Brad Karl’s firm bio: “In 2023, Brad co-chaired a New York State Bar Association Task Force on Advancing Diversity, which released a 90-page report detailing how law schools, law firms, corporations and courts can maintain their diversity in the wake of the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision barring race-conscious university admissions policies.” https://www.paulweiss.com/professionals/partners-and-counsel/brad-s-karp

Only three of the ten disloyal Dem senators are up in 2026. Peters & Hassan are retiring & AFAICT Durbin hasn’t announced whether he’s running again.
King & Gillibrand aren’t up again until 2030. You’d have thought that would give them extra leeway to cast votes of conscience, not compliant cowardice.
