I'm still waiting to hear my Dad tell the story of how a life-long Republican, middle-of-the-road guy who spent his entire life playing by the rules was joined by the rest of the blue haired folks in Oceana County to protest.

if there isn't we should start one.

and the fact that it will be as cold as the heat death of the universe.

For those who need me to explain that

I love Sweeney’s game

YES, Nathaniel!

3-2

Tense bottom of 9th…

I endorse

Frustration today

There goes the supply chain!

Ok, concur

Having a bunch of corporate clients seems the opposite of short-term. Agree that having real fans in as many seats as possible would be better than the appearance of apathy. The next few years are gonna be scary times economically. We will see how much corporate business can be had.

That would be visually interesting.

@Detroit Tigers Ownership @illitchfamily @ChrisIllitch Figure out how to fill that box seat area behind home plate. You should bring in attractive models so our broadcasts look visually interesting aside from the baseball. I would suggest you cast a diverse group. Avoid obvious costumes. So, if you do cast baseball gays, make sure they don't look like the pride float or Carmen Miranda. Avoid blackface, turbans, or native tribal headresses just for the purposes of showing diversity.

We did make that joke today. :—)

Unfortunately I was unable to protest, although the fans at my softball game at Washington and Liberty HS in Arlington must have come from a protest because I saw some "Hands Off" posters. Now I ask you...is there a more Northern Virginia/Washington DC team sponsor than this?

Why is this starter still in? Yikes for the White Sox

Remember when he had no trade value?

Nathaniel!

Also, those consumers have a recent memory of being killed in service of the one-party state.

Listening to Sam Stein and Tim Miller yesterday. Stein was talking about how this kind of market crash and a recession/depression would break the fever dream. Tim Miller wasn't having it citing the case of a global pandemic made fundamentally worse by the RW media and the MAGAs and that had not sufficiently broken through evidenced by Jan 6 and response. I personally think Biden won because of the obviousness of the failed COVID response with regular people but the recovery went too well and people returned to their tribes and comfortable narratives aided and abetted by the oligarchs creating those narratives that suited them best. I think the roaring twenties were still the roaring twenties after October 1929 but things really got faccacta after Smoot Hawley. I think the roaring 2020s will still be the roaring 2020s until the real effects of the tax cuts to aid the billionaire class create a sucking chest wound to the social safety net occurs and that is felt. Might take 6-12 months. I don't think the environment where people are seeing life savings wiped out by golfing idiot and a drug addicts wielding chain saws is cutting all medical and scientific research funding is going help in marginal elections but the real change in perceptions has yet to occur.

they chose the picture that captured his challenges.

Benetti talking walkup songs. I would use Blue Oyster Cult's Godzilla. I have been trying to get my daughter to use that.
