Just about made it on my last guess. So many red herring groups today though. Connections Puzzle #1010 🟦🟪🟩🟪 🟦🟦🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟪🟨 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪

I was on a streak of 7 straight wins before but just couldn’t see it today, I agree sometimes I see things that look like groups based on gut feeling or vibes and I get them even if I don’t know the reason. There was one the other day where I was down to the final 8, 4 were one word clues and 4 were 2 word clues, I just guessed all the 2 word clues together and was right. Cant remember the grouping but it made sense they wouldn’t be explained with just 1 word together when I saw the a see.

Because the reason international shipping has closed down is because of America and Israel’s impulsive war. Why should British men risk their lives for this? Why should British military equipment be risked for this? Why is it our responsibility? Why aren’t America and Israel sending their own ships to be blown up and risk their own men’s lives clearing it? Why didn’t they plan for any of this and let us know beforehand? You don’t just start a war out of the blue and then tell your allies to drop everything and come along, that’s not how alliances should work. Allies should be consulted at all stages and be there to come to your defence, not just start a random war then panic when things don’t go how you thought and demand they come along afterwards.

A lot of countries allies or not coming out now and basically saying they aren’t going to back the US up - China, UK, Germany, Japan, France, Australia, Netherlands, Norway. Even South Korea very non-committal. This is starting to feel a bit like America’s own Suez crisis when they’re starting to see first hand they don’t have neither the hard nor soft power on that they used to have.

Sorry to read this. Good luck with the process!

Maybe they thought Squid Game was an instruction book and not a satire.

I’m thinking more the humans from Wall-E.

If Farage and Badenoch scream about us sending our ships into a war that’s not ending anytime soon and has nothing to do with us because Trump has got himself in over his head, then it only shows they care more about America’s interest than Britain’s. Why the hell should we be dragged into this potentially years or decades long war because Trump thought he could overthrow a 50 year regime in a few days and screwed up This is America and Israel’s war, they should be sending their own ships and their own men to risk death for it not British ships and people

Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer. 2 of the funniest people ever.

A legend is that Indian immigrant cancer specialist at LRI who took over my mothers treatment and got on her a trail of experimental drugs which extended her life by 15 years, when other cancer doctors we saw just proscribed what was there. It’s not about being famous, or changing the world, it’s about impacting real people’s lives like that man did for my family.

And leaving the biggest trading block in the world. What do people expect? People voted to cut back all our public spending and to leave ourselves economically isolated from our own continent and all our neighbours. Why are we surprised we haven’t got a pot to piss in and our country has fallen on the world stage? You get what you vote for.

Ahh ok that makes sense!

Sadly died a couple of years ago but inventor/scientist James Lovelock must have had a hell of an entertaining life. Here is is as a 101 year old with his eyes lighting up like a cheeky school kid who’d just got one over his teacher.

I mean, Zelenskyy is the obvious one in today’s world. But less political I think of Tarn Adams who has been making the phenomenal video game Dwarf Fortress for over 25 years with help from his brother and a 3rd person finally brought on board a few years ago. Pretty much hands down the most ambitious example of a “indie” video game ever largely made by a single individual to the point where the every character in the game even has their own short and long term memory systems and just a really cool guy when interviewed and to people who play the games.

It’s clever language - it clearly is meant to be a veiled threat but also written in a way with plausible deniability where they can say “we meant from your own regime”
