@olbermann.bsky.social, it's good to have you back, live and nationwide. Your post 9/11 reportage for the late, lamented KFWB here in L.A. was the perfect/poignant return to the mic.

Came to this conclusion during Felon47's first term, simply based on the fanaticism I saw from people I grew up with. It's gotten worse over the ensuing years. Far worse. I've had a few once-dear friends choose Cheeto Mussolini over four- and five-decade friendships.

Which I've been saying for, well, years. Used to teach college journalism. One of the things I'd tell my Intro students was the elemental concept of journalism. If I say it's raining and Chris over there says it's not raining, your job is to go over to the fucking window and see if it's raining.

According to flag protocols, the American flag shall fly at half-staff for 30 days following the death of a president. That means President Carter left one beautiful Eff-You to Trump... and one more selfless act of service to the country that owes him more than it can repay.

Blocked my first account here. And believe it or not, it wasn't political. Someone calling me out for not knowing what I'm doing in the PR game because I snarkily questioned Beyonce needing a PR staff when she doesn't grant interviews. She has "Bitchy" in her name. That tracks.

Cal manages to eke out a three-point, come-from-behind victory over Herbert Hoover Polytechnic School of Eugenics--as 14 1/2-point favorites. Always good to keep The Axe. But more of the same in terms of penalties & wasted drives Regardless, Cal is going bowling. Furd Srs, meanwhile... bupkis.
