I distinctly remember reading “not that bad” in the press release.

He’s just promoting his pro life catholic beliefs. That should be music to right wingers ears.

I honestly think People don’t realize that changing the time doesn’t increase the amount of daylight.

I remember that series. The media was all congregated at the Hyatt in Dearborn and kept doing reports from the lobby. I almost got to be a clubhouse kid or bat boy for the Red Sox but I wasn’t 16. My sister had a connection somehow and said at work that day they were looking for someone.

It’s funny how perception works. I was born in 73 so while my earliest memories of baseball involve Fidrych when I really began to pay attention and collect stickers (the sticker books were big for a few years) Rickey was huge. He was also pretty young. So I always assumed he was older. 65 seemed young to me since I am only 51. But when my wife found out he was 65 her reaction was the opposite. She knew of him later in life. She’s thinking of 1990 Rickey Henderson. That is when she met me of course.

The pandemic accelerated a bit the boomer retirements in my opinion. Many thru either no choice of their own or thru realization during the shutdown that they actually didn’t need to do all of that. there is a flip side. I know of several boomer aged folks in the white collar world who would have retired but work from home changed their mind. They can stay at their house on the lake now with no 75 minute drive in.

I also wonder if birth rates have anything to do with it. My kids are early 20s and it seems like there just weren’t as many kids around as when I was growing up. The economy took a hit in the 2000’s so did people stop having as many kids? And throw in people having kids later in life than we remember.

If someone really thinks abortion is murder then isn’t death by firing squad not only justice but also bibilical? The gun nuts love to quote the Bible so I assume guns are covered in there somewhere along with the gay stuff and immigrants and America first. I mean it has to favor America because it’s written in English, right?

I just drove by.

Yeah but it’s not 1995 anymore. You are describing how things were and ought to be but that’s not reality today. There is no left wing media anymore. MSNBC is dead ratings wise. The others are folding to DJT. This will get framed as the party with the most no votes shutting it down. There are different rules for democrats and republicans. It has been that way for 10 years now.

I hate having to pay to pay. I get why we do it because it costs the municipality a fee too and if you owe them $$ they want all of it so they aren’t going to eat it. I can mail an old fashioned check to pay my property taxes or water bills. But we never write checks. And checks cost money. And stamps. We have some scattered around but I couldn’t tell you right now exactly where they are. One of 3 locations. I could drive to my bank or credit union and withdraw the money and take it to city hall. But that’s like an hour of time plus gas. I have the money. Right now. You can immediately have it. what gets me is the stupidest pay portal the city uses has a more restrictive password policy than my company. Is there an issue with people going in there and paying bills? Your ID is linked to your property. You can’t go pay other people’s stuff. I have to change my password every time because I can’t remember it every 6 months.

That’s why my wife wasn’t fully on board. She gets too distracted. I’m always saying “watch! You can’t just listen. You can’t fold laundry and watch a show like this. Your eyes need to be looking at everything on the screen. That blurry guy in the back? It matters. That billboard? It matters”.

Won’t they blame democrats?

This is the way. Im halfway thru season 3 now and I’m amazed again at how much I forgot. Being able to binge it helps too.

Cavuto never bugged me. He seemed alright and straight arrow.

Maybe I’m being too naive and optimistic but I think we are going to have 3-4 years of all bark and n little bite . I’m really trying hard not to pay too much attention either.

Members of congress will not all fall in line either. They have to run again soon.

Ah got it. I’d never heard of them when my friend got tickets but I recognized a few songs. Then I realized they had a huge following. Masonic was sold out. I dug it.

I would totally do it. I’m off for 2 weeks. There was a whole sequence in the episode I eat her tonight I totally forgot about. I knew the “who” but was still enchanted.

Where is the Khruangbin reference coming from? I saw them back in April. Great show. I think BCS is better than BB, similar to Godfather II being better than I but also acknowledging that you can’t get that without the other so you call it a tie.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I hope he is comfortable.

They have been doing it for like 6 or 7 years so there’s a lot of movies to pick from. My advice is skip for now the “big ones”. Pulp Fiction, Boogie Nights, Goodfellas, Godfathers. Their criteria is generally post 1970. The reason I say that is you want to get to know their personalities and the inside jokes and references they use. Those movies I referenced were big deals when they did it so they are kind of “events”. You will appreciate it more. The episodes for movies I didn’t like are still good. I remember listening to The Firm twice because it was so funny.
