It was. Tiger cubs looked good. Really, really good. Bryce Rainer especially was outstanding.

One of the unfortunate memories I have of Ray Lane—not his fault, of course—was watching on TV when he announced to the crowd at a Pistons game that the new arena they were moving to in Auburn Hills from Pontiac was going to be named the Palace. The way he built up it all up during his introduction, and then his revealing the name being The Palace, brought a cascade of boos down from the stands. I didn’t like the name at first, either. It sounded cheesy to me. But I did feel bad in the moment for Ray that he was the guy getting booed for it.

Mel Ott was an active Tigers broadcaster when he was killed in a tragic car crash after the 1958 season.

I will call people “kiddo” sometimes, just to mix things up a little, but I would refer to children as “kiddos”, which sounds super clunky to my ears.

Download Outlook from the Microsoft Store and sync all your Gmail and Yahoo mail accounts to it. I had eight separate Gmail accounts I use for different purposes coming into a single Inbox. It’s so convenient once you get it working. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

That’s what they’re shooting for, anyway. They want people to get used to living at subsistence level. Like during the Gilded Age. You know, when America was great.

Counting calories is the best way to lose weight because you kind of treat it like money. You establish a goal, which acts like a bank, and you feel as though you can’t go into debt by going over your calorie count. I felt like that, any way. I also weigh everything I eat at home on a gram scale before I eat it. I don’t trust my eyes to help me moderate.

Technically not free, but I take your point. They don’t want people to learn things. They want people to work.

Disagree. New York Times and Washington Post could definitely frame it in the same way.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding in general, but I could swear practically everyone is saying that red hat America is mad as hell at the way Trump is running things and that his approval is plummeting. Or maybe NBC polling cooked the numbers to appease the fascists. One or the other, I guess. 🤷‍♂️ 5. 📊 NBC poll: Trump high, Dem low Graphic: NBC News More registered voters say the U.S. is heading in the right direction (44%) than at any point since early 2004, though a majority (54%) still say the country is on the wrong track, according to an NBC News poll out this morning. Trump's job approval rating (47%) matches his all-time highs in NBC News polling throughout his political career (37% "strongly approve," 10% "somewhat approve"). 1,000 registered voters were polled March 7-11, with a margin of error of ±3.1%. Keep reading. 🥊 The Democratic Party reached an all-time low in popularity in NBC polling dating back to 1990: 27% of those polled said they have positive views of the party (20% positive ... 7% very positive). Keep reading. Go deeper: NBC polling on DOGE, Musk.

Reported saved money and actual saved money aren't the same thing, and to your point, for their purposes they don't have to be.

I had the opposite problem when I was a kid with Looney Tunes/Merrie melodies. All the voices sounded so different to my uneducated ears that I couldn't fathom how they could all come from one guy.

This is a key reason I turned down a chance to apply forthe board of a charity I’ve been delivering food for. I don’t want to have to concentrate on the business side of anything. I don’t mind speculating about it for fun, but I don’t have the energy to take on the responsibility of managing it in any capacity. All I want to do is drive to people’s homes, give them the food, make pleasant chit chat for a minute or two, go home after I’ve completed my rounds, and not think about it until I go back a couple days later.

Do they need basket weavers anymore? I think we will move shortly into a regime in which everything going wrong red hats can’t blame on demmycrats, they blame on Musk, and continue to hold Trump 100% blameless. Currently we are still in the regime where red hats are thrilled at everything that’s happened so far, especially the destroying the government and making lots of noise about expelling immigrants as cruelly as possible parts, but pretty soon it’s going to hit them, and they have to figure out a way to exonerate Trump for any of it.

Try to hack into the system by asking the question, “Read me doctor memory?” Then ask why does the porridge bird lay its eggs in the air.

How long? Not long. ‘Cause what you reap is what you sow. Waaaaaake uuuuuuuup … !!!!

Interestingly, as I read the story, I couldn’t help but notice they were very careful to lay the responsibility at the feet of Musk, and not even mention Trump in the story at all.

I did not see this article before my post. I only saw it was a #15 market, which surprised me—I thought they were more like a 20. But I can see how yet another tourist Mecca could have an inside track for a franchise, and they might actually get a better local fan base there, because I don’t think they draw as many retirees from up north in Orlando as they do in the two big league towns in that state.

Actually, in a certain way, I worry this is a story we’ll be seeing less and less.

Drill baby drill? Maybe that’s the only method of generating electricity their failed imaginations can conjure.

I honestly wonder how much Trump ascending had to do with spurring people in Orban to examine their situation more closely and demand Trump’s buddy resign.

I don't think Montreal's likely, either, but I think I'd be a little surprised if the owners let a new owner move a team to Nashville that they would put an expansion franchise right back in Tampa given the stadium situation, which I might assume would not be any better. I used to believe Charlotte didn't have much of a chance because of how spread out the metro is, which might affect attendance at 81 games, but now that the vast majority of money made by teams comes outside of attendance, a sub-30,000-seat house might be a possibility for them. Now I'm wondering whether Charlotte is not going to get a franchise just because they are less than a four-hour drive from Atlanta, which is what Nashville also is. Maybe they would put a team in Durham? Believe it or not they are now a top-25 DMA, and they're six hours from Atlanta, which might help their case. And then there's Orlando. The up side is that they are, I **** you not, a #15 DMA, just one spot behind Detroit, and growing. The down side is, it's Orlando. No, in all seriousness, Orlando might end up being the next best solution for Baseball if Tampa were to flee.

It's asterisks rather than quotes, and I'm guessing he used it because words cannot be bolded or italicizedin Twitter, so that's the way to emphasize a word there.

I think it’s becoming clear that when Trump says America is going to be “respected”, what he really means is feared, and that “feared” means afraid of.
