I’ll eat fish and salmon but it doesn’t bring me joy and is never a top choice. It’s usually for a “light night” when we have to be good. I do like shellfish though. I would eat that every day.

I’m surprised it took Trump this long to jump on that. It has all the elements to portray it negatively to the willfully ignorant and uninformed. “They keep all the money”. Back then it could be sold as “didn’t cost us a thing. Ain’t it beautiful “. Now you reverse it. “We get nothing”. A perfect situation for his ignorant supporters who are repulsed by knowledge and facts. The entire movement tries on misinformation and lies.

I don’t read it but i do follow on twitter but if someone gets joy and satisfaction from doing it that’s fine with me. I don’t know her circumstances. As far as I know she hasn’t asked for money.

When Ballys or whatever had their dispute with Xfinity it was $20 a month for the access via their app. My bill went down $10 since it wasn’t there so my real cost was $10. That lasted a few months I believe.

I’m having Craigslist impact to the newspaper industry vibes. Non sports fans were helping to pay for our sports coverage because they “needed”cable. Now they don’t need cable. Peoole advertising for cars or jobs were paying for investigative journalism. Once you ask people if they explicitly want to pay for something many say no. So those making the money see an easy cash stream dry up and those who want it end up paying more.

I was going to say something similar. We have to admit and come to terms that we are not the demographic for this. I'm fine with that. I'm pop cultural illiterate. My wife isn't. When she heard he was doing the show she didn't know who he was. Then we remembered he was on the Pedro Pascal episode of SNL and in that very funny sketch he did. And this came up 6 years ago when JLo was the entertainment. She lip synched. Who cares? Who gets to decide the rules and when did we agree to that? A live musical act in a setting like a super bowl stadium takes hours to properly sound out. Sound checks before concerts are not just going through the motions. Geddy Lee in his book gave tremendous credit to KISS when they opened for them for giving them adequate time to do sound checks. He said most bands treat the openers like crap and that's why their performance suffers. I verified that with a friend in music production and he said absolutely it matters. As a musician you have to know how what you are playing will sound like. As a 53 year old white man I accept that going forward the musical acts for the super bowl will not be my thing. I'm ok with that. This program has to have someone out there that a lot of people know. It's not about "who is good" because that's not an objective criteria.

Not even top 5 in Frankenmuth. Except maybe Bavarian's more casual outdoor setting so you can watch the old folks Polka and hear the Glockenspiel. I don't know if that's considered the restaurant or not, but we have eaten there, during 2020 Covid times. Usually Tiffany's or T-Dubs for us. We used to go to the Brewery but the food went downhill the last 2 times we were there and the beer novelty wore off for me.

He wrote that weeks ago

We had an acquaintance from church die during outpatient surgery on her leg in a clinic. The most routine thing you can imagine. Like going to the dentist. It wasn’t a big deal what she was having done. Maybe her body just didn’t like what was happening or she’d have died at home at that time. Who knows. I joke around that I want to die in my seats at Comerica Park. And I gave instructions to wait until the game is over. Don’t disrupt things.

Sorry for the language. I tried to edit a bit. “Lil bit”. But the photo is real. They were in a band together.

“Just enjoy life and get out more and don’t be so angry” = “just lay back and enjoy it”. What you’d expect from an Epstein sympathizer.

It’s because these people have no self esteem or confidence. Their entire existence and aura is centered around Trump. To give that up is to admit their’s is worthless. They’d have nothing left. They went all in.

Verlander was a unique situation. In 2017 he was about a month removed from being traded. We watched him grow up and at least for me I had a feeling we were seeing a guy close out his career. I typically don’t give two ****s who wins a WS so in a situation like that I will root for him. I saw it kind of like a Ray Bourque to Colorado thing where Boston took as much pride in that. Nobody will ever think of him as anything but a Bruin. Looking back on JV obviously he elevated his game and sustained his greatness. I didn’t see that happening at his age but he might be just as much an Astro as a Tiger Scherzer I don’t feel the same way. We didn’t draft him. He signed elsewhere and even then I knew his greatest years still in front of him so I saw his time here as a stepping stone.

It’s been humbling for me because I, like am sure every generation felt, that we learned the lessons and were better.

I got Cameron Crowes book for Christmas and enjoyed it very much. He was such a huge part of my cultural experience growing up and into adulthood.

I thought it was the one across the street in the garrison plaza. which isn’t much better. Because I had the same thoughts. We run by there a lot. In the back by the dumpsters you can access a trail that goes along the rouge river leading to the Henry Ford estate. That’s the starting point. It looks like someone stores cars there. Not secure and it’s crumbling.

That’s what we are watching. They noted the boos.

I remember when the summer games were in London someone suggested all the nations once ruled by the UK should come out to "How you like me now?"

"I wasn't a racist but then the dems nominated Kamala Harris and I didn't agree with the process and that as all it took"

I threw on Pine Barrens while I'm working and although i've seen it over a dozen times, have done full series rewatches at least 6 times... it still blows me away what a great episode it is. In some ways it might be underrated because of the scenes in the woods.... take those out and it's still one of the best. So much happened. If you like the show..... watch it again. I bet you'll be surprised like I was.

and there comes a point where the "I'm not racist" defense is no longer valid if they continue supporting this guy. I'm probably there already. if you like and support this guy then yeah, I'm calling you a racist.

Tim will come around... or go around I should say. They always do. Unless he decides to resign, then they suddenly find Jesus.

Nobody with a brain is surprised. Racists aren't surprised. Anybody that acts surprised is playing dumb. In a country run by normal people with morals and backbones, this would end their administration. But neither of those things describe JD Vance so he'll just laugh at it.

He parlayed that year where he "hit .300, 30 HR's, and drove in 100" into a big deal. If he hit .299, 29 HR, and had 99 RBI, would Randy have given it out? Press likes nice round numbers. Learned that in The Right Stuff when Scott Crossfield hit Mach 2.

And you know they follow up that reference with "but he's cool though...."
