WRT, when Wencel Perez got hit on the knee i was having visions of disaster. Glad he finished the game.

Musk's opposition to the budget bill...all boils down to EV tax credits and the need for EV owners to contribute to the highway trust fund. We couldn't have figured these things out before?

Come on kid, get it together. That is directed at SGL, not Bert.

I'm enjoying Daniella Bruce bantering with Carlos Pena, Jason and Johnny Kane.

I hate saying this...Go Yankees.

There are wonderful monologues coming.

Wondered about the overall accuracy of weather reporting as it seems to have been really uneven lately.

LHP...ugh

A couple of Midway movies out there. I think the scene where the three carriers are on fire and Japan realizes they lost the bulk of their Kido Butai in just minutes is amazing.

BUt it is if you admit it in court that it is a lie.

Big Lie is exposed by Big Pillow guy

You can't be half crazy in MAGA land.

when I've gone and done SRO and paced the concourse like a softball coach, while I watched the game I've enjoyed myself a lot. Now, going and having a chat with my dad or kids its also very nice.

As it turns out not being the opposition can be an excellent strategy: what did Labour offer in the last UK general election that was so appealing?

"Masters of the Air" was pretty good from my perspective as an Air Force history dweeb who actually thinks the combined bomber offensive was necessary to win the war. "Rogue Heroes" about the SAS made by the "Peaky Blinders" folks is uneven (like Peaky Blinders) but contains greatness. There is a scene in the final episode of the past season when they return from Italy to Britain. One of the worst afflicted NCOs is unable physically to ring his own doorbell and just sits down on the corner in front of his house despondent and his wife runs out and greets him in sympathy.

1943 was a weird year in America. Not quite winning the war (we were but didn't have the satisfying offensive wins to prove it) and race strife in LA and Detroit and elsewhere because of the rapid economic shifts of the war economy. As an aside, can you imagine getting up in a propeller driven aircraft with squad sized unit to fly into Nazi Germany with little fighter protection to prove a theory of strategic bombing. With a 10% chance of being shot down each mission.

Nina Jankowicz: "If you read one thing today, make it this. Our current Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy, who for years has shared conspiracy theories and misogynist, racist dreck, who shut down the State Dept’s counter disinfo unit, has some rather suspicious connections to Russia. archive.is/Q818Z" — Bluesky

indeed!

Marco, you have a problem Trump official who shut down Russia propaganda unit has links to Kremlin

ahhh...sweet!

If this were me...the leader of Russia would be dead on Wednesday. POTUS would be impeached.

also, the reference to Taters is possibly hibernophobic.

'Tattoo to Tater Town' is one that seems nonsensical in its formulation. Tattoos that are put on with such force would be difficult in and of themselves. But 'Tater Town?' Are we to believe that a town exists that is exclusively populated by potato people or is made of potatoes?

"A French Village" shows a lot of the behaviors and attitudes described. We all hope we'd resist the Germans when they take over our village and take away the class/type of people they will drag off into the night. Not all of us will. Oppression seldom ends from within, it usually takes support from outside.
