Rome is sometimes amazing... sometimes not. Here's the latest video from the Vagabond Dreamers.

Love the show. Sitting on a beach in Turkey catching up on the latest episodes.

Any idea when Eno's updated pitching rankings are coming (assuming they are)? Thanks.

Wake Up! Or Sleep…whatever We all need to be a little more woke. The evidence is everywhere.  When Trumpistanians made “woke” a bad word, we should have all known it was actually the most important word of the 20th cent…

Seeing pictures of that putz Marco Rubio engaging with world leaders is a top ten embarrassing moment for our country since 2016.

Democrats are incompetent. Republicans are incompetent. Parties are the same??

Democrats are incompetent and inept. Republicans are incompetent and dangerous
