I’m in the same camp. We both weren’t at the concerts, not holding lighters…

World Series Game 3 lasted just shy of 7 hours, 50k+ in attendance. Based on most recent US mortality rate of .928/1,000 annually, 0.741553 people in that stadium should have died in that time.

That one guy is so lucky it didn’t go another 6 innings.

World Series Game 3. 18th inning. If LA runs out of pitchers, they did show Sandy Koufax is in the crowd…

In order to prove their reporting is impartial, modern mainstream media journalists go out of their way to avoid showing a bias for democracy.

He gets his erm, boots shined, plenty at cabinet meetings now, so maybe that’s enough?

Or he’s as tired as he seems

21 days of shutdown. The GOP is really determined to make people pay more for healthcare. And for billionaires to get their tax break. #principles

48 should just let that ballroom sit empty with the lights off. Better yet, make it a soup kitchen.

"Young" Republicans are already angry and old in heart and mind. Wasted youth personified. A death cult.

PRO TIP: Sports writers, have some fun with the team name in your headlines. E.g., if you’re in Milwaukee, try, β€œBrewin’ Up Trouble” or β€œWhat’s Brewin’?” Pardon the pun!!
BONUS TIP: Droppin’ the G at the end of -ing words signals informality, a.k.a. FUN! 🀩

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

As a matter of fact... I happened to be listening to KQED in July when they interviewed @vermontgmg.bsky.social (author of an excellent history of Watergate, writer of a very good newsletter on current politics) on this very question.
