Serious question: What’s another source for an integrated, comprehensive daily listing of TV sports coverage? Like the listing in the Post.

We’ve become inured I know. But here it is anyway: “Suppose for a minute that super rich dude bankrolled a Michelle Obama vanity film project . . . “

Dear @jaketapper.bsky.social the issue isn’t “…killing of an American citizen …”. The issue is killing! Of anyone.

I’ll be among the many who point out this: She’s concerned.
Susan Collins speaks with Noem about immigration enforcement
Susan Collins speaks with Noem about immigration enforcement
GOP Sen. Susan Collins said she spoke Monday to embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after the administration launched an immigration enforcement campaign in her home state. Collins declined to divulge details of her conversation with Noem to reporters — though her office indicated earlier this month that the senator had reached out to DHS about ICE’s activities in Maine. Regarding the ICE presence there, Collins said in a statement last week that “people who are in this country legally should not be targets of ICE investigations,” while those who have “entered this country illegally and who have engaged in criminal activity …. could be subject to arrest and deportation.” She added, “People who are exercising the right to peacefully gather and protest their government should be careful not to interfere with law enforcement efforts while doing so. But the conversation comes at a critical moment. Federal agents shot and killed a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis over the weekend, prompting public outrage and sparking criticism from a growing number of Senate Republicans about the Trump administration’s handling of the situation. It’s the second such shooting to occur in the city since January began. Collins is also the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee who helped negotiate legislation to fund several agencies — including DHS — through the end of September. That bipartisan package is now imperiled as Democrats now say they won’t vote to support any bill that funds DHS without significant guardrails in place to rein in immigration enforcement activities. DHS is among several agencies that would shut down after Jan. 30 unless lawmakers can reach some sort of compromise. Lead Art: Sen.

I don’t remember this often enough: Minneapolis ain’t a border town. And the nearest border is Canada? C’mon, man.

Lots of well deserved slamming of the " . . . over 1,000 simulations . . . " stuff, so I add mine: Over 1,000 sounds impressive to many I'm sure, but it takes less than one second to run 1000 iterations of a monte carlo simulation. Just sayin'.

@markzuckerman.bsky.social Thanks for it all,Mark. I’m watching to see what’s next for you and I hope it’s perfect. Thank you, man.

Greenland - why is there no mention of the huge air base formerly known as Thule? The deal to have this base would seem to obviate the silly claim that we need Greenland for our security?

I’ve been there and I love it. But I don’t want my country to subsume Greenland.

Bob, Pete, Willie, Mick, and a few others have stayed at the party far too long. (But not Paul. Not Ringo.) Far, far too long. Just saying’.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I just listened to a jazz organ trio doing Blue Christmas. Confirms my belief that BC is the greatest holiday tune in the history of western music.

No way that this guy can redeem himself. He's a doc. He knew what was going to happen. And he didn't have the courage to what anyone would have done.

For a very long time, I thought that a major chord was degrees 1, 3, and 5, just in any order. And then I got into jazz.

Is anyone aware of anything sillier, more petty, and more inane than the claim that a particular font is somehow woke and DEI related, and thus must be scraped?
December 11, 2025 at 7:47 PM
Yes. Too late to redeem himself. He totally knew and declined to act. Joining the Collins Caucus of Concern is not redemption.
Vaccines will protect us against all sorts of ailments but who will protect us from RFK Jr and his quackery?

Bill Cassidy had a chance to do that and utterly failed and will be forever remembered as a coward.

The NFL schedulers fell for the hype and donned the rose colored glasses like the rest of us, and they made the Commanders the marquee prime time team this season. Boy, were we all suckered.

Without question, the number one holiday song in the history of mankind is Blue Christmas Nothing else is close.

Reminder: Lots of people here who are not citizens are totally entitled to be here. Just not being a citizen is - by itself - not grounds for any action whatsoever.

In stunning and devastating turn of events, this good boy left us last week. We miss him terribly. He was with us so briefly. He worked hard every day to become the best dog he could be. So sad for him to leave so soon.

Attn: restaurants. Why on earth doesn’t every restaurant have these on the home page:
1. PHYSICAL STREET ADDRESS
2. HOURS OF OPERATION
3. Link to MENUS
If your homepage doesn’t have these items prominently displayed, get a new web designer. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Note to @nytimes.com - scientific orthodoxy? You mean truth!!!
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Again @cnn is obscuring the real story by discussing subtleties of military codes and orders.

Pop culture thought: only those who don’t play guitar (or any other instrument) make a distinction between rhythm guitar players and lead guitar players.
