I don't know that world but if you can make enough of a name for yourself in it to the point where you can get a podcast going maybe the pay is good enough.

It saved my friends record store. I remember sitting with him in a bar around 2007 and he wasn’t sure how much longer they could go. Downloads were ruining their sales. He had to branch into DVD and merchandise. Now it’s booming. The record store days are game changers for them.

I posted something on th old site that an analysis suggested BK was the swing vote now. I’m not as close to this as you are. My impression is Gorsuch is a detached libertarian type that takes a clinical view.

My issue with the Grammys is they always seemed to be a few years behind. Like an Album of the year nominee is something that came out 3 years ago, like you said. Once I got satellite I quit the radio. I’ve had my car for a year and the presets are still not set. Music is just too on demand now. You need “experts” with good taste to push that stuff.

I’m not in favor of anything that states a population of a prison should be X, Y, or Z. The only time something like that should come into play is when there’s overcrowding and resources are an issue.

I would also submit that Fox has changed quite a bit even in the last 18 months, so depends on when this was formulated.

why shouldn't it be? What's wrong with that story? I see those kinds of things all the time. What makes something newsworthy?

For Profit prisons should be outlawed. I read something yesterday that one did a contract with the government where they are guaranteed 90% occupancy.

yes, you are right. that's it. They can do no wrong. CNN also reported it too. Fox News of the left? Get real. That's an absurd statement. Maybe Roberts lied? It's funny that they come back from break all wearing masks except Gorsuch. It's because he's an asshole. Nice Catholic Jesuit he is... eh? My opinion's unchanged. It's the polite thing to do around a co worker and he's not polite. She took the high road. Conservatives don't know what that is.

I'm not sure it's been "proven false". The Statement from SCOTUS says Justice Sonia Sotomayor didn't ask Gorsuch to wear a mask. The tweet I posted and you quoted didn't make that claim either. it no wonder conservatives have a credibility problem. They can't read.

and it doesn't change the fact that no fraud was found. Gotta come up with better shit than that.

That was a procedural finding... from the article: But Genetski did not allege that Benson's directive "caused him to accept a signature that he believed was invalid," according to Murray's decision. The judge didn't rule on whether Benson's directive violated state election law, but did say the directive violated the Administrative Procedures Act, the process that must be followed when an agency creates new rules.

I remember in the beginning of 2021 the feeling was that each state and community was left on their own. There was no central coordination or process. "Here they are....." I also think each state had their own criteria as to who qualified.

The pillow guy said so... This is all a circle jerk by republicans. Whine and cry with no evidence then use that whining and crying to say "People don't have faith". There's been no evidence of fraud beyond onesys and twoseys here and there in which republicans tried to vote twice. Nothing of any significant scale. Republicans just don't want black votes to count. We saw that in Detroit at Cobo center. "They're moving boxes.... look!" They trot out strippers/escorts who get hired to wipe down the glass of election tabulators as experts.

A meme I saw said the people who threw rocks at Ruby Ridges as she tried to go to school don’t want their grandchildren to know they threw rocks at Ruby Ridges as she tried to go to school.

GQP in disarray

There's two Henry VIII's... one on Michigan near Merriman and yes, one on Middlebelt. I've never been. I used to go to BT's and Silver Criket back in my early 20's like once a year. My city has 3 strip clubs and they cannot get rid of them. There's also one on Ford road that's technically Detroit as there's like 1/4 mile stretch where the North side is Detroit. It's a shame. It comes up in every planning commission meeting that they need to be careful because they will be stuck with the decision, like we are stuck with the decision to allow these. They've really changed over the last 15 years in terms of clientele. Lots of fights, stabbings, etc. The days of college kids and business people going for fun are over. Now it's just bad people. And there's a house being remodeled that's a real monstrosity. He owns one of them. They had the highest volume of liquor sales in the state a few years ago, just ahead of The Palace. The house overlooks Ford Field (Dearborn, not the stadium) and it's obscene as it gets. We run by it all the time and it makes me sad thinking it's built on the backs of drug addicted strippers.

Rumor has it that Tommy Lasorda was at The Flight Club a lot during the 2005 ASG festivities.

It's a very small city just west of me. It has an interesting history. Because of Dearborn's racism blacks were not "encouraged" to live in the city. But Henry Ford had built the Rouge Plant here on the Detroit River along with US Steel next to it. His black workers needed a place to live and Henry Ford hated big cities. So he helped deveop Inkster into a city for his black workers. He built schools, grocery stores, churches.... It's always been a "black" city so to speak. I also once heard Kirk Gibson telling a story from the early 80's about Alan Trammell and he referenced that he lived in Inkster. A little surprising but back then it wasn't that bad. Just a regular lower middle class suburb and Tiger Stadium was just a short drive down MI avenue so I could see why a player who didn't live here full time might live there. https://www.thehenryford.org/explore/blog/the-search-for-home I drive thru Inkster when pickig up my friend for baseball games. Like 10 years ago I was going north on Middlebelt when I saw a commotion in front of me, people running. Traffic stopped so I went down a side street to go around it and as I turned I was able to see around the cars and saw a guy laying in the street. Later that night I learned he was just shot point blank in the street. I was one traffic light away from being right there. That's Inkster. don't go there at night.

My wife has patients in the ICU who did that.... "I didn't think I could get it twice.... They said...." These are people who were in the ICU for COVID and are back in the ICU for covid because they didn't get a free shot.

When I met my wife our first date was a Tiger game. I was a senior in high school. We met Labor day weekend. The following Friday I took her to a game against the Yankees. A few years ago I looked it up on BR. I figured if she couldn't handle going to a game then there's no point because that's what I do.
