#HappyThankgiving from WKRP.

I’m thankful for those who stay informed and face these times clear-eyed but bravely…for the youth who harness their power to change the future…for the olds who trust the next generation and fight with hope for a world to come…and, of course, for baseball. ⚾️🦃❤️ #HappyThanksgiving
Terrence Mann (James Earl Jones) quote from “Field of Dreams”: “The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and what could be again.”

First we had Tulsi Gabbard at the Miami F1 Grand Prix back in May. (What’s happened to her btw??) Now Kristi Noem and Kash Patel show up in Vegas. National security in 2025: expensive, embarrassing, and completely unserious.
Tweet from Sahil Kapar: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and FBI Director Kash Patel are here in Las Vegas for tonight's F1 race. Getting a tour of the paddock and checking out this LEGO car. Includes pictures as described.

Wow! He did it!
My skeet from yesterday: I'm kind of surprised Trump hasn't started bragging about the whole fascist authoritarian thing. "I'm the best dictator! Nobody knows more about dictatoring than me! Before I came along..."

How I picture people justifying projections of AI success.
Far Side comic. Two scientists in front of a blackboard. One has written an equation with a central step that reads, “Then a miracle occurs.” Caption: “I think you should be more explicit here in step two.”

He really just wants to turn the White House into a spa resort. How long before he starts offering packages to host weddings on his Olive Garden patio, plus a honeymoon night in the Lincoln Bedroom?
Kaitlan Collins tweet: “Looks like there is a new sign outside the Oval Office.” A photo shows an outer door to the Oval Office, with the words “The Oval Office” written on the wall next to it in a standard resort-style gold script. It looks like the name of a conference room. Closeup of “The Oval Office” script.

While we’re at it, the GOP should read Matthew 25. Verses 41-42 esp might hit home.

“Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;”

Matthew 25:35-46 35 for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; 36 naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? 38 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me. 46 And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life.

Hegseth really should read Matthew 6:5-8 before skipping ahead to Matthew 6:9-13. (Actually, all of Matthew 5-7. Unless I missed the parts about guns, paratroopers, and aircraft carriers in the Sermon on the Mount.)
Matthew 6:5-8, part of 9 (leading up to the Lord’s Prayer) 5 And when ye pray, ye shall not be as the hypocrites: for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret, and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee. 7 And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Tried to convince Opal to go trick-or-treating. She decided she had better things to do.

LOTR: Unlikely DEI band defeats a fascist dictator using psyops and backdoor infiltration. Along the way, they help Nature destroy a climate-denying tech bro, then save corrupted Gondor w the help of agrarians, indigenous people, and (dead) mutineers seeking redemption.

What version did Elon read?🤨
Tweet from Elon: “When Tolkien wrote about the hobbits, he was referring to the gentlefolk of the English shires, who don't realize the horrors that take place far away. They were able to live their lives in peace and tranquility, but only because they were protected by the hard men of Gondor.”

Please send thoughts and prayers to Opal during this trying time. 😢
