It all goes back to the armorer and assistant AD who gave the him to Baldwin. The armorer is responsible. Baldwins fault is accepting the gun from someone other than the armorer I guess.

He saw the attention Perot was getting so he jumped on it.

The way to get around that is to eliminate off days. But I don’t know how you do that with night games and the need for travel days. During the season you get an off day every 2 weeks. That means your pitchers need more rest between games. The Braves had had 11 and the Astros 12 off days in since the season ended.

They will cheer him. It would be awesome if they booed him. For sure. But I suspect he won’t be.

I thought Virginia now is about the schools and crt and all that.

I don’t like what it’s done to the dead people. maybe it’s due to my wife’s job. When I hear of a healthy 49 year old going on a vent who is fully vaccinated and has no health issues other than being a little overweight like many other 49 year olds… well it makes me not want to get covid even though most likely it will be mild. I don’t know the answer. Just frustrating that it’s not going away and too many idiots don’t want to help out. Also frustrating that it’s family members feeling that way and they will be around this holiday season.

Call me a sheep but I don’t see wearing a mask indoors as a “restriction”. If that’s what is required going forward so be it. I am fine with it. A lot of my colleagues in Europe are back in the office part time. a big way our nation could improve remains testing. You should be able to know pretty quickly if you have it. By that I mean less than 24 hours. That way at any sign of sniffles or cough you can check. By the time someone figures they should get tested they may have spread it to dozens of others.

No. Players aren’t applicable.

I’m into history and current events of a non political bent. I read Mercury Rising about Glenn’s flight. I had read almost everything on Mercury at that point and still learned some things. Now I am reading about Apollo 8 which really saved the moon program and technically represented our first adventure to the moon. A very ambitious flight at the time considering the state of the program and timing with regard to kennedys deadline. They leapfrogged several objectives and used a rocket that had not yet been successful. What’s amazing about the famous earth rise photo is when you consider that the photo of earth represents some remnant of every human that ever existed, even if a speck of dust, except for the 3 men behind the camera who are in lunar orbit.

Interesting. But that could be a case of something sounding harsher than it really is. Since he’s a pending FA I can see the argument that org resources can’t be used on a guy who is contractually of no use to them at the moment. I am not sure he’s throwing shade. Just stating realities.

Yeah. Why didn’t the victim arm herself? Seems we need more guns on movie sets now to prevent this.

Miggy doing some lobbying.

With the cold and dampness coming Sunday and Monday I started to feel run down and congested. Working in the basement when the heat isn’t coming on so much and it dips below 65 got to me. Got my booster tuesday. Felt like shit yesterday, probably 75%. Not sure if it was from any of that or getting up at 5 to get my son off to school. today I feel fine. Ran 3 miles this morning just to test myself out. Arm soreness at injection point but that’s normal.

The fact both played in NY and Boston is not a coincidence. Do real baseball fans even watch pregames? Seems like now it’s all about being funny, playing games, etc.

If you look at the actual letter they they specifically say "spirited debate about policy is protected" and instead refer to threats of violence as being the issue. So yeah... you are full of shit. The entire GOP is full of shit.

white people are too sensitive and don't want to know that white people were bad once.

They don’t want to waste doses. When you look at the criteria now it’s pretty broad.

No. They didn’t ask me any questions. Just gave them my old card and my license. When she got hers a few weeks ago she told me that. So I decided to go before the kids get approved.

I’m assuming the sopranos isn’t on that because season 1 was 1999?

The problem is that we by design mandate some form of gerrymandering because of the voting rights act. It’s a double edged sword. By creating a solid minority district you turn surrounding areas solid non minority. You could have a probable D district next to two possible D districts. Instead you have a certain D and two certain R.

I'm going right now to get mine

My department has a customer facing group and it's always interesting when you go back and talk to the person who gave the bad review and they admit "No, no, it was fine...." I'm responsible for a product used in dealerships. When doing a trade show one year the dealer principal comes up to me all hot headed and says "I gotta talk to you.... don't go anywhere... I'll be back....". 30 minutes later he tells me one of his managers is very unhappy and he's going to call him so I can talk to him.. No problem. He calls the guy, hands me the phone, and I ask "So what can I help you with?" or something like that. Guy says "I don't know why he called... everything's fine.... the old man has lost it. He's probably hungover. We're good".

It's political... You can't and should not count on an actor to be a line of defense when it comes to safety. That's not what they train for. Yes, sure some could do it but you can't make that a standard and it should not be part of any official process. They learn their lines and the approach and their marks, walk on, and shoot the scene. That's why you have a crew. Everyone has a job. From what I have read an armorer should be the one that personally checks a weapon and hands to the actor. Nobody in between. I also don't like when I see things like "Baldwin fired a prop gun". It wasn't a prop. A prop gun is one that cannot fire anything, like a toy.
