Oh look! Election year posturing!

Read an article yesterday that said the two MLB teams with the best record in the month of September since 2013 are … the Dodgers and the Guardians. I appreciate my Guards are always playing their best late in the season. I don’t think they are built for a deep playoff run, but it’s fun to watch!

Guardians have clinched playoffs. I’m delighted of course but really didn’t think it would happen this year.

I suppose every generation has a moment where public figures they grew up with begin to die, but Dolly and Tim Curry on back to back days has me a tad emotional.

Moderately surprised my Guardians made as many moves as they did. I don’t see any of them as earth shattering but on balance the team is a bit better, I think.

The fact that the birthright citizenship ruling was not 9-0 bodes ill for the republic. Following it up with a ruling that will allow the billionaire class unlimited spending in campaigns is worse.

I’m starting a new position on July 1. They use Outlook and Teams, so I am reacquainting myself with Outlook and fiddling around with Teams for the first time. I am reminded why I migrated my personal work away from Microsoft organizational software ages ago. It’s all so NOT user friendly. Ugh.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

As a former journalist, I’ve never been able to figure out why the White House Correspondents Dinner is even a thing. Massive blurring of ethical boundaries. Seems best to avoid those. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Also, I kept reading WHCA as WCHA last night and wondered why everyone online was talking about college hockey.

Glad to see Bondi gone. She is an incompetent partisan hack. But keep in mind one of the reason’s she’s gone is that she wasn’t hyper partisan enough in going after enemies of Big 🍊. Next person may be worse.
