Andor Severance Paradise The Pitt Pluribus Kevin McGonigle's 8th inning AB last night. Man, there are some great shows out lately

Where I was the cops were on scene too. Its planned and organized. The protest has marshals who wear vests and make sure nobody is getting to crazy.

I spoke to a woman for over an hour whose dad was an Air Force officer and she and i were fixated on how the system used to have rules. You abided by them and you could have a career even if you were a Dominican Republic immigrant as her dad was. Spoke to a buckeye fan and commiserated about the angst we had on the day of The Game and how we felt that way all the time now but in a bad way. Spoke to a bunch of vets. Had another long chat with a dude about Andor (see the Nemik quote poster above “Opression is the mask of fear”)

There is an interesting note about the "bad british food" trope. I was watching a video on food rationing in Britain during the war and then for nearly 10 years after WWII. Of course you are going to lock in some bland food choices if you don't have options. People who are jonesing for some jam or butter for their bread or a few ounces of chocolate per week are not going to have extravagant cuisine. Laterly, there have been a lot of foodie types in the UK because it became like any other over-done middle class eccentric thing. David Mitchell referred to them as anorak trainspotters who just turned the trainspotting to food.

not for discussion here. It was good and look for my commentary elsewhere.

The sense of fellowship and organization is so positive. So many people I talked to today were expressing inbetween raw emotion and coherent and long thought out discourses so many different ideas. Keep it up!

agree

So, I did this at the last minute before i left the house. There were a lot of people who liked the Kegbreath thing.

watching again... its at the 3:01 mark on the broadcast. He goes: foul down rf line ball high ball low (skips in so not a competitive pitch) foul off to the left foul down the rf side on a pitch he went and dug out of the bottom of the strike zone. (Dan Petry is imploring him to take it to 3-2 so the runners will be off. Foul off the umpire's mask. Umpire is checked for protocol. foul down rf side. reaches out to outside corner to flare a foul ball down lf side. ball low. (Seemed noncompetitive but maybe closer than i thought) base hit scores two. My impressions are that he's Kirk Gibson levels of mental toughness and insane bat/ball skills. Oh man that is a powerful combination.

you all know i’ve only done this before for the 2000 election to protest on behalf of Bush. I’m pretty emotional right now. This feels right.

Kegbreath is a WARRIOR! He does WAR! He doesn't do THINKING!

There is some really scary economic data coming out about the refineries having been shut down in the entire gulf region. Couldn't possibly have been predicted by this government which was dragged into this war by the Israel lobby and fellow criminal Bibi.

That was a fun battle. I'm actually going to rewatch that after I return from the protest today.

And MSU could have been another but for a slight improvement in their 3 point shooting.
