  1. We've been doing a bit of traveling lately. That means a several stays at hotels. I've discovered trying to find outlets for our devices has become somewhat a scavenger hunt. The biggest peeve in the night stand tables beside the bed. About half the places we've stayed (all Marriott brands) have no or one outlet. I travel with a combination phone/watch charger. I tend to use the phone as a clock at night since most of these places have discontinued providing clocks in the room. If there is an outlet, I'm ok. Unfortunately several lately don't unless its an electrical outlet next the wall. Tonight (TownPlace Suites) no bedside outlet. There are two on my wife's side of the bed, as well as two USB ports. Two on the desk the other side of the room, with USB ports. Even two on the arm of the couch. (Farthest away from the bed) with USB ports. I just want a little constancy, especially on my side of the bed. If I wake up in the middle of the night I'd likev to know what time it is without wandering around a dark room looking for my phone.
  2. Ted Turner did bring MLB broadcasts to the masses thru WTBS. Thus opening the way for cable “networks” and individual pay per view type of team broadcast. But he also allowed us to watch old movies with Turner Classic Movies
  3. And the MEGAs prayed to nthe big Orange god they made...
  4. Under the MAGA Doctrine of Free Speech Me. F-U for anyone else (Sorry, Chicago traffic PSTD is kicking in)
  5. If ABC’s stations are dinged over a Trump favorable ruling, Someone needs to start challenging the licenses of mega companies airing “Conservative Talk” and Religious Politics” in radio.
  6. No **** Sherlock At least ABC is showing a bit of guts
  7. Trying to keep a positive attitude while stuck in Chicago traffic
  8. Which is why for at at least the past 50 years the winner take all distribution of the Electoral College needs to change. I’m all for proportional splits. TBH I haven’t done the math, but I think it’s more fair
  9. Back in the day it was called a Police Action
  10. It’s surprising there is a fertilizer shortage with all the bull **** this regime produces
  11. This should be grounds for impeachment. No discussion.
  12. A bit disheartening but not unexpected. The way the state constitution is written negates any effort to copy the true gerrymandering of MAGA states
  13. Omar Thomas is one of the more prominent black composers of concert band music. One of my favorites for his Come Sunday. This story is absolutely bonkers. https://www.wpr.org/news/wisconsin-school-board-watertown-spring-band-concert-lgbtq-history These are high school band students. It's a challenging piece
  14. But, we're not at war
  15. "Christian" Conservatives are only concerned with those in the womb. Anything after birth is not their issue.
  16. Given that Trump's attention span is akin to a four year old. Unless tt's something akin to getting his new. Ballr...er tomb
  17. Just need to find the right cruise
  18. I think if that was the case she would have quit and gone underground so to speak. She’s still capitalizing basic views. She’s also pissed because Trump didn’t endorse her when wanted to run for Senate. I think to most folks, she’s still has Trumper values, just anti-Trump
  19. May 7 https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/may-7 (We've been on the road a bit lately
  20. I’ve got a feeling several teams have been doing this to the Tigers lately
  21. More of Trump’s En****tification of America Here’s the definition for those inclined En****tification, also known as platform decay, is a process in which two-sided online products and services decline in quality over time. Initially, vendors create high-quality offerings to attract users, then they degrade those offerings to better serve business customers, and finally degrade their services to both users and business customers to maximize short-term profits for shareholders.
