Game. Seven.

[JeopardyBlindGuesser @JeopardyGuesser]

Many have asked if we will continue to continue #blindguess during the writers strike. Now that #Jeopardy is back, we decided that as long as the strike is going on, we will NOT be having Jeopardy Blind Guess.

This is our personal decision & we hope everyone respects it.

@shawn_dubs At least a few years. There were a number of injuries from players getting their hands caught, straining ligaments or hurting bone.

Like wearing shin protectors at bat but on the basepaths.

I said "the year 2025" like it was some distance future, but there's food in my pantry that expires after that.. so.. I should've aimed higher.

[Brandon Riddle @BdRiddle]

It's the year 2025. I refresh daily to see if @ArtoftheScore has posted a new show.

They have not. I reboot How to Train Your Dragon for the 42nd time and smile.

Being invited to a professional lunch in a foreign country with a bunch of folks, they ask me to sit, then THEY ALL GO SIT AT A SEPARATE TABLE.

I'll be over here cackling to myself at my table thank you.

I can’t get over these images from the James Webb Space Telescope! They’re igniting curiosity and wonder in a whole new generation.

If anyone was curious, the thumbs up is an insult in Bangladesh.

This explains the laughter when miming good job.

Never diss the family wine. As @WolfBlassWines also has a screw cap it's worth pointing out that the quality of good cork is decreasing and screw caps actually have a tighter, more durable seal, especially if you are shipping over millions of miles. Picard family vintage is exquisite.

[Brandon Riddle @BdRiddle]

Here's a fun experiment you can try if you've ever wanted to know what it's like working in Bangladesh in July without AC!

Go walk fully clothed into a steamy shower, really get that good soak into your pants and shirt, have a little mile run in 90 degrees, then begin your day!

The movie Apollo 13 was so realistic that they even went over budget on space suits. That's dedication to the craft.

Wheel of Fortune went about this all wrong

First you subject the contestants and viewers to an endless parade of temps who don’t prepare before hosting

Then the producer in charge of the search says “Actually, *I* would be the perfect host”

Then “jk we have two hosts now”

I'm eating leftover mac n cheese with chopsticks watching Pacific Rim on cable.

Don't tell me hotel life isn't glamorous.

@WritingExcuses A healthy dollop of masochism and a dash of habit.

Things I never thought I'd hear William Shatner say but should have known better:

"The kid was throwing skittles at Jeff Bezos's asshole"
