This was a European tour that ended abruptly in Bavaria, with multiple broken ribs and surgery for a ruptured spleen. Life is unpredictable! @jamiegangel.bsky.social

Report: Trump wants D.C. stadium named after him — Reuters President Donald Trump wants the Washington Commanders to put his name on their future stadium, ESPN reported on Saturday.

Since he also objects to the “Commanders” name, could the stadium name be accompanied by a team name change to the “Trumpskins”?

From The Side of the Road... are you the Vladimir Putin of Bluegrass? - Bluegrass Today I was recently sent a press release about a song that claimed it's the "Hotel California of bluegrass" (because you can never leave?).

Maybe time to put that baby right back on the air, maybe during Game 3 of the World Series.

This is one of the numerous ways the damage to international relations will be felt by the U.S. and its one-time economic and strategic allies long after Trump is gone.

Ha ha ha!

For those who are justifiably worried, as I am, there is still hope for the United States of America. Bride poses with frogs:

Solid point, sad to say.

J.D. Vance’s “boys will be boys” response is completely inadequate.

What a card he is! I’m afraid I left my jacket at his house. Maybe his wife Rita will send it to me. I’ll text her about that.

I’m not a fan of name dropping, but I do have to say that I have met Habeas Corpus. Very nice guy. Very down to earth.

Nashville, October 17th! We return to the world famous Station Inn, with special guests.

From The Side of the Road... that sounds so familiar! - Bluegrass Today Chris returns to a video format for his new October column, seeing if classic bluegrass songs fit a contemporary country ballad configuration.

You’re so kind.

Come back, John Mitchell. All is forgiven.

This has never been a more important quote. When the government dispatches uncalled-for federal troops to cities with no justification whatsoever, hoping to create one, it is absolutely essential to stand up to that firmly and in large numbers, but without giving them that justification.

I know. I’d like to go back to being at least 10% drunk!

We Are in the Worst-Case Scenario The November 2024 version of you would be shocked at what the September 2025 version accepts as reality.

We know things aren’t good when we’ve already far surpassed JVL’s late 2024 worst-case scenario. A sobering but good read: @jvl.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/we-are-in-...

We can only hope. Seriously, though, this does give a little glimmer of hope about the effectiveness of public pushback!

Does this mean we can resume watching Only Murders in the Building?
