I can't believe it's been 20 years since we lost Buck O'Neil. How do you possibly sum up a life that great?

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

My issue with paywalls that I do think rises above simple personal grievance is that the misinformation news outlets don’t use them & now people’s perception of reality is upside down & I think those two things are connected

From @theathletic.com: The NFL fined Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair $11,941 for having the name Hind Rajab written on his eye black during Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. Rajab was a 5-year-old Palestinian girl killed in Gaza in 2024.

I have made the difficult decision to pull out of Ed Sheeran’s tour. Don’t worry, I’m still an unprincipled coward. It’s just I’ve come down with a type of diarrhea the CDC has classified as “huh” and “really not supposed to do that”

North Hills is a mall with lots of open, private space that masquerades as a public square. That alone would be bad enough. The new parking system seems to require owning a smartphone and registering your car with them. Absolute nonsense. Don't go.

Dorie Miller was only allowed to work in a Navy mess due to segregation, but he leapt to work a gun when the attack happened. In sharp contrast, Donnie Trump got five medical deferments to keep from having to fight in Vietnam. The USS Bone Spurs doesn‘t really sing

Two pretty significant milestones for psychedelic poster art culture took shape in 1967—the work of pioneering artist Bonnie MacLean was excluded from both. New thing from me www.dominicumile.com/blog/bonnie-...

Both Haley Stevens and Francesca Hong lost close races. Both had tough campaigns. Both were the target of some very harsh criticism. From opposite sides of the Democratic divide.

And both didn’t wait a day to dust themselves off and get to work supporting their former opponent. Pure team player energy.

I’d like to see more male candidates have this kinda energy.

If the Baltimore Orioles were to win a World Series -- a moment I've waited on for four decades now -- and showed up as a team to grip and grin with a corrupt, racist, pedophilic narcissist who debases our republic at every turn, I would never be seen at Camden Yards again. Fuck the L.A. Dodgers.
