This time, Charlie Brown is certain he's going to kick that football...

Abolishing ICE is table stakes. Withholding payments from blue states to the federal government would be the correct raise.

Every accusation is a confession.

@olbermann.bsky.social - Apropos of nothing, can you add any BoJack Horseman nuggets to the C-block of the podcast? Tom Jumbo-Grumbo's relationship to Randy always slayed me.

Showing the same ad a dozen times an hour is a war crime. No longer live television is dying.

Is it just my telecast, or is ESPN completely incapable of selling any ads? They've shown repeats of their house ads back to back for an hour now. Terrible viewer experience. #MNF

I'm reasonably sure that Oakland does not miss the Raiders.

Lost his ability to discuss such things when he took the Saudi blood money.

Gotta respect Big Heel Energy

This just in: A.J. Brown is not the problem. #eagles

Finally, the scoreboard matches the game play. This is the Giants game all over again; short week, defense quits. #eagles

If the Bears call anything but run plays for the rest of this game, that's a gift. #eagles

The most 3 and outs you have ever seen for an offense with positive skill position players. I get that the line isn't right, but if Kevin Patullo has a job tomorrow, there is no way this team is winning even a single playoff game. #eagles

This is highly similar to the TNF game against the Giants. Defense gets worn down, short week, offense that doesn't sustain drives, worn to a nub. Add turnovers and the game shouldn't be close. Not quite 2023, but similar. #eagles

At this point, I'm not just OK with firing Kevin Patullo. I'm also OK with benching many starters. Prove to me it can't get worse. #eagles

You can't be a good football team when you get outgained every week. Guess what happens to the Eagles.

You have to label things for people with dementia. It reminds them where they are.

I wrote a thing. Read the thing. I promise it's also not about sports.

Anyone else get "Shining" vibes from it?

So we have a technology that increases water and electric bills, threatens employment, and exacerbates income inequality. It also threatens the continued existence of life on the planet in a number of ways.

Note to self: invest in security services that work for data services.

CoPilot, cook the planet with irresponsible energy usage so that I can be momentarily distracted from a lack of government oversight of rapacious corporations.

So I watch sports to try to take my mind off the awful political world that we live in.

This often works out.

Today, as a Philadelphia fan?

Not so much.

I'll brook honest disagreement on many things, but not this. The hype guys in Muddy Waters' "Mannish Boy" are the best to ever do it. (YEAH!)

Hey, it's not easy to be unpopular when you are the opposition party to a historically unpopular Administration. You have to respect the accomplishment.

Saw a commercial for AI over the weekend where the mooks on the couch changed their images around a lot.

Us in 10 (5?) years: Sorry about the planet, kids, but everyone really needed to see themselves differentl for just a second.

Yes, the planet's dead and burned, but we were badly entertained.

If we're going to make up conspiracy theories about escalators, make it that right wing media is going hard on this to distract from the release of the Epstein files.

Conspiracies can be fun!

Why should they be able to stomach their own, when no one else can?

We have a victim of a school shooting that is remembered for more than a single news cycle? Somehow, does not feel like progress.

Everything is possible when there are no consequences.
