My Lions coulda'... Sure looked capable of an upset that first half and securing an important win to remain in the hunt for a wild card playoff spot, but a poorly played second half... Shit... Still, that TD ruling in the 3rd was inexplicable and egregious. Deservingly controversial af... #OnePride

Pretty certain I've copied, pasted, and posted this before... But the truth is I can't do it often enough... The rage I feel for this corrupt, power-grabbing, cruel c-t is inadequately describable...

Unconscionable. As it is with so many things TFG does. Or doesn't. The symbolism of the destruction levelled to the East Wing of the White House and the construction of a monstrously garish ballroom is obscenely cryptic...

Any institution, company, or highly placed, powerful individual who does not publicly criticize or call to account the unlawful actions of TFG and the cruel, dictatorial policies of his administration is as complicit and culpable as the asshat who flagrantly wraps themselves in MAGA merch. #RESIST

Our sole tailgate has always been our Lions' Thanksgiving Day Game. Initially it'd been venison or buffalo burgers with the works and bacon-y baked beans. But it proved too much in the gut. Switched up to tuna steaks and a seasoned rice with shrimp and mushrooms... More room for our Killian's 😅

2/ since 1973 but often they've reflected a variety of demographic groups and symbolized our country's rich diversity of culture, ethnicity, and race.

More pointedly, since 1776, in both war and peace, over 41 million have served in our military with nearly 1.2 million the casualties of war...

1/ A little less than 1% of our fellow Americans currently serve as active-duty members of the U.S. military. Currently, approximately 16 million can identify as veterans i.e. a little more than 6% of our nation's population. Trends in military service can fluctuate as ours is an all-volunteer force

Remember when an image such as this could end political careers and effectively alter a government policy? Our entire nation had felt shame...

I've so exhausted every obscenity I can possibly muster on this corrupt, ignorant, piece-of-shit wannabe dictator that it is now done by rote... What he has done to our house, the People's House, almost feels like a knife to the heart. And his attack on democracy is utterly soul-shredding...

1/ Anticipating a big fire in the belly of the beast this Monday night. Obviously, my Lions versus the Chiefs was always going to be a monster of a challenge and all that bullshit attached to the Montgomery-to-Goff TD and those 2-3 plays and penalties that cost us field and downs might have made

Played hooky this past Monday so I could spend a little bit of it at Detroit's Hart Plaza for an Indigenous Peoples' Day Pow Wow. A nice turnout for an event that hadn't been staged downtown in thirty years. Well spent... Every so often you owe yourself such a day.

1/ The moron to the pipsqueak's right is my congressperson. A MAGA-mouth. Every claim she's made to having voted for something that helped our congressional district is something she'd actually voted against or voted to undo. Each day it's a pretense she's working hard on behalf of her constituency.

1/ The way I currently view our Lions: Game 1 a wakeup call as they should have intuited that game better than they had. A depressing outcome, really. Game 2 not only a "get right" game, but an opportunity to exorcise the Ben Johnson hangover. His departure was like an albatross and a good thing it

Joan Jett had her birthday yesterday. A young 67... Crushed on Joan when she was with The Runaways and maintained that crush for decades. Cool and influential af, an iconic rocker... And rarely and grudgingly do I call anyone "iconic"...

Jeremiah Johnson isn't just my favorite Robert Redford film... It is one of my all-time faves... Three Days of the Condor, All the President's Men, Brubaker, The Candidate, Sneakers, An Unfinished Life are easy "likes", too... More, I very much respected his political opinions and insights.

Each remembrance, I am left feeling the memory of 9/11 has dimmed for far too many.

It must never be forgotten.
September 11, 2025 at 9:34 PM
I am alternately feeling confident and anxious.

Yep. My Lions' regular season is here.

The NFC North will be f-n bedlam. All four teams have both players whose playmaking can leave you breathless and game disruptors intent on ruining your day.

It's on. LET'S GO LIONS!

The profound harm, tragic dysfunctions, and staggering incompetence of TFG and his bootlicking sycophants will be a chaotic mess from which it will take a full generation to recover and set aright when (and if) we return to being an intelligent, empathetic society and world-leading democracy.

1/ Well, I knew already how challenging this season would be for my Lions... I believe. Hell, yeah, I believe... But I also know our NFC North division rivals are going to be salaciously good teams. Both the Vikings and the Packers are well-coached with some outstanding talent on their rosters and

2/ to have seen more offensive scores, defensive takeaways, and better W-L outcomes, but reps and film are more important and finding fits, positional, cultural, and attitudinal, are going to help us go the distance. The deeper our run, the better. Playoffs, man...
