iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Jury's still out, but this guy ditching all the pro-Palestinian rhetoric on the campaign trail leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I can respect someone fighting for their morals, but this just looks like cynicism. We aren't the GOP, nor the Tea Party. As always, be careful who you let in the tent

One question that no one thought to ask was whether Uncommitted's pursuit and challenging of the Biden/Harris administration was sincere, or was it just politics. Were they ultimately trying to establish themselves on the political scene on the backs of salient issue.

The first revelation in this piece is that the founder of Uncommitted is now running for office. What's his platform? Affordability. I don't blame Uncommitted for Kamala's loss or Biden dropping out, they were just one cut among a thousand.

This year's flu+Pfizer shot didn't completely knock me out, but it's coming close. Woof.

The New York Times has a choice of whether to cover Trumpism as A) an amusing and colorful example of the oddity of American politics, or B) an existential threat to the future of everyone you know and love. Over and over, they choose A. They trivialize themselves.

We look to Brazil and South Korea as examples of democracies standing up to tyrants, but the fact is they’re 50/50 countries like the US. They could easily flip to the totalitarian side.

Missouri man adopted as baby learns biological father is rock star Michael McDonald

“I said to Mike, ‘So hey, tell me, what do you do?’ And he said, ‘Well, I’m a musician.’ And I said, ‘That is awesome. I love music. I’ve always been a music nut,’” Well that’s adorable.

Also this is comics. No one stays dead in comics, especially not when they can guarantee $1 billion at the global box office.

Kinda feel like Marvel and Kevin Fiege learned all the wrong lessons from Endgame's success.

Watching the BMore Baseball Podcast. Jim Palmer said that that in May of last season he was in an elevator with Elias and Elias asked him “have you ever seen a team go from first the top to the bottom this quickly?” and he responded “not one with good pitching.”

It certainly didn’t take too long to realize the food wasn’t worth the trip. There’s just something weird about breweries outside of an urban environment, but Jailbreak seems to be doing fine in the middle of Savage…

With more support could Heavy Seas or Union become a national player? Is that more in Maryland’s interest than to lure a foreign brewery that could just as easily decamp to New York or Chicago?

The Guiness Brewery’s closing for good. Now that we know the full arc of this story I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if we told them to pound sand and instead gave local breweries the tax dollars we spent luring them to Maryland

I was just thinking the other day how we’ve all normalized his pancake makeup. When you’re the special birthday boy, no one wants to make you sad

I dunno… maybe we should do more things by referendum rather than just party. People are more wed to their parties than their policies, and if it becomes a “the politician has to enact the policy that won in referendum” then maybe things change

I’d like to see Dems challenged on this because too many have succumbed to empowering NIMBYs and keeping their districts in limbo.

After MAGA the Republicans need a rebrand, and perhaps it would behoove them to embrace Eisenhower and become “the party that builds things.” Point to how construction projects in Blue cities are often stymied by red tape. Adopt YIMBY energy as a pro-growth platform
