Culture warriors turn everything they don't understand into a five alarm fire. I'm surprised there isn't any more outcry about the Pope's comments this week

I will say that as a 73 year old I have no clue about Bad Bunny's music. The half time show has not interested me for years.

MAGA's are such snowflakes, they hate any sort of inclusion.

It's much more expedient to wait on instructions and talking points from his handlers

I really have no idea where this belongs but need to share it. Tim Miller and Ken Burns in conversation. A lot of it is about his upcoming documentary on the American Revolution, a few asides. Some thoughts about the state of our country, a splash of baseball as well. Take some time and enjoy https://www.thebulwark.com/p/ken-burns-you-have-to-be-a-bulwark?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

Last time I checked he was a US Citizen. I'm not exactly in his demographic. However, my feeling is the NFL and its subsidiaries are private companies and we as private citizen/consumers have a choice (for now) whether or not to watch the halftime show. No citizens or organizations have the right arbitrarily ban such things.

This one slipped completely beneath my radar. This past Saturday at a restaurant bar near where my sister in law has a second home. Another former marine exercising his second amendment rights. To bad the administration and the majority party in Congress wants to cut programs that may have helped him and the guy in Michigan https://www.starnewsonline.com/story/news/2025/09/29/southport-nc-mass-shooting-3-dead-latest-nigel-edge-victim-ids/86419738007/ https://www.newsobserver.com/news/local/article312297067.html

I love the analogy Animal Farm definately applies to our current situation . https://www.thebulwark.com/p/animal-farm-never-gets-old-george-orwell-80-anniversary?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=The%2BBulwark&utm_campaign=publer

Brian Snicker stepping down in Atlanta. Lot of teams with new managers next season

Wasn't that the statue that had a big fire a few years ago?

Pretty much. admiringly it was a side remark possibly a slip. But one does not mix up rivals like that. Besides Tech played Saturday, UVa had the Friday night stampede

It’s a small thing in the general scheme but a gubernatorial candidate cannot do this and expect to get elected

Burns has said that this was the hardest of his films to make. There are no photographs, no living witnesses to put on screen, and a lot of what would be interesting letters and correspondence had been destroyed. Martha Washington burned all of her letters to and from George, for example. That said, we had a chance to see a preview a couple of weeks ago. What we saw was great. The National Park Service, Virginia 250 Committee, and the PBS station in Norfolk had the showing on the battlefield in Yorktown. They showed about an hours worth of footage, a lot of what we saw was tailored for the event so there was a lot of Yorktown footage. You can see Burns and company's fingerprints on this, it didn't seem to show any political leaning imo. But there are folks who tend to find Colonial Williamsburg a bit too woke for their tastes

This sums it up... Unless it won't.

BTW if strong restrictions on weapons don't work. Can you explain why the US has with the largest firearm ownership in the world also has the highest gun death rate in the world? Also if countries like Japan, the UK and Australia all have stricter gun control laws AND much lower firearm death rates. How do you explain that?

And I thought you guys were in favor of Law and Order. It still may be so unless it applies to you

Had em all the way

This team is cursed. All the Good Karma from the second half of last season to July has worn out. Need a new Karma supplier
