Elon musk is funding the German neo-Nazis. But here in this synagogue in the Pittsburgh suburbs....but here in this D-Day memorial...but here at the National World War II memorial...but here at the Holocaust museum...

He's terrible for public health, Hegseth is a virulent racist drunk, Tulsi Gabbard has a CI file a yard thick. I think of all that which is terrible and the worst for the country, the Kash Patel to FBI pick is the screwiest one. He's threatening to abuse his power before he even sets foot in the office.

Is Marco Polio the undead kennedy?

So, how do we feel about the Amazon strikes in light of the Bezos participation in the oligarchy? Hard to cut off streaming services to support picket lines. Maybe stop ordering from Amazon and seek other ways to get gifts?

so, the word on the street is that there will be a gov shutdown and it will be long lasting. I'm likely ok because i'm in an emergency services position but it will cause a lot of pain for a lot of people who are not so designated. This is one of those times when it would be "nice" if if was the reason there was no inauguration because the lowly scum you President Musk and Vice President Trump deemed unsuitable to pay didn't erect barricades, do security screening of visitors, name traces on those who would come in contact with you or any of the other stuff that the Federal Government might do in this situation. He might consider calling in the Bureau of Prisons, to do the inaugural. Maybe the MAGA red hats can be his honor guards.

Honestly, President Musk is a problem.

That sounds really good. Will try to check into that.

And i appreciate all that this demo create and manage in our political economy.

My take is that some of those who get into vigorous arguments that “Die Hard” is a Christmas Movie are venned with the bosses who claim that their being Jimmy Buffet fans means they are rebels who like to work hard and play hard. Very much a stale take which appeals to a certain type of regular barbershop visiting dad of a certain age and mental flexibility.

You can take the boy out of Afrikaans but you can’t take the Boer out of the boy.

The threat to Liz Cheney is weird messaging. Great timing when you need congressional approvals for your nominees.

Apple TV's "Blitz" was good. I guess a lot of people will moan about the casting but it was very good.

I think based on reading that it violated MAGA principles of thinking and feeling. IOW: too woke

Hearing that the Kennedy picked to be #2 under Ratcliffe has been pulled after some of the background dirt on her emerged. Must be bad if its worse than whats out there on Tulsi and Hegseth. https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/tom-cotton-torpedoes-amaryllis-fox-kennedy-off-trump-s-cia-list/ar-AA1vZ6kB

This bsky embed feature needs work. Anyway...the plurality president doesn't get to wish away this at least.

Anna Bower ‪@annabower.bsky.social‬ BREAKING: Justice Juan Merchan denies one of Trump’s efforts to toss his criminal convictions in New York. The judge said President-elect Trump does not have immunity from prosecution bc testimony related “entirely to unofficial conduct entitled to no immunity protections.”

we got a stop on a missed FG?

Figure it out

Was just going off the last name. All 80s movies had the random Japanese kid in the mix who either had super technical capabilities and was super horny for american girls. A Korean kid would have been too precise for the limited geographic skills of the time.

Your classmate Palmer Woods was the rich kid whose dad owned the country club? And Highland Park was the Korean kid who loved prog rock?

The wife keeps telling me everytime Sabrina Carpenter comes on the TV, that Sabrina Carpenter should do a Deborah Harry biopic. I can see it.

The more i think about the extensions for Greene and Skubal...the more I'm not sure I'd do that if I were either side. The talent development cycle with the Tigers is getting good enough that they can actually put a MLB caliber product out with more certainty from their drafts and to a much lesser extent International signings. That said, the Detroit fanbase is the kind that falls in love with its stars. It won't want to become Tampa North. Obviously the player will get whatever they can to validate their future. Its also probably good for the economy to have wealth transfer this way. MLB should do more to help mid-market teams retain stars.
