Just going to throw this here. A nice little documentary on the production of the last Beatle song https://www.pbs.org/video/now-and-then-the-last-beatles-song-short-film-wflwzd/

There are a few Foundations out there actually doing something. DuPont is another one besides Gates, and a lot may be doing it very quietly. My wife does a bit of work on the edges non profit world.

We're heading back to the days of powerful moguls like Carnegie, Vanderbilt and Rockefeller. Just don't expect that any of the current Robber Barons will leave any monuments for the public good.

To me this is where it's different from 2016...they've had 7 years to organize for the Erdogan like takeover of the Republic. They have a blueprint (with the backing of the Federalist Society) including loyalty oaths and the complete takeover of the Justice Department https://www.axios.com/2023/11/13/trump-loyalists-2024-presidential-election?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

The Dude Abides

Nice block by Williams

Lomas Brown disagrees

Gambled once too often

Because three yards and a cloud of artificial turf is boring. And by the way 3 things happen when you pass, two of them are bad

He has absolutely lost it.

New promo for the 2024 version of The Manchurian Candidate

We saw Flower Moon this evening. Scorsese did a great job with David Grann's story. Both De Niro and DiCaprio deserve nominations. A lot of familiar faces in the cast as well. I guess the next Grann/Scorsese/DiCaprio movie has started production and should be just as interesting, the tale of the British warship Wager. I haven't started the book yet, but listening to Grann talk about the book has been interesting.

One more Benetti article https://www.chicagomag.com/chicago-magazine/october-2021/the-storyteller-of-the-white-sox/

Interestingly the Apollo 8 crew was the last mission crew were all members were still alive.

That's what I get for reading message boards😉

I thought Dirks did a decent job on the radio broadcasts.

That makes sense

Just a gut feeling. They did an agreement with ML Soccer this season. Maybe me misreading tea leaves

TBH it will probably continue to be a rotating booth. The mark of a good PBP announcer is get the most out of his/her partner. That was Shepard's biggest flaw IMO

I need to start saving my pennies to get MLBTV next season. I have a feeling the T-Mobile agreement won't be renewed

Hopefully the Tigers will add/subtract the second person in the booth so that Jason can develop a similar relationship that he has with Steve Stone

And the mainstream media keeps worrying about Biden's mental attributes. Too much catsup on burnt steaks (and Diet Coke) rots the brain

I like the move.

I got into a fight a couple of years ago with my pulmonary doctor over this. (Among other things) He had prescribed a drug that could only be issued thru a speciality pharmacy. At the visit after him prescribing the drug he asked how I was tolerating it. I told him I've never heard from anyone. He went off on me, telling me I should always answer my phone even though I didn't recognize the number. Turns out they never put the prescription in, same with a referral to another specialist. The guy dropped me after that visit.
