One of the coolest things the archive has is the nearly complete archives of Houston's KPRC-TV, which the group acquired about a decade ago. The KPRC collection goes all the way back to 1961, and is an absolute treasure trove of Houston history. Here's a clip about the Houston Comets in 1999:

In lieu of attending church, I’m a faithful member of the YMCA. Yesterday they cosponsored a state wide skateboarding slalom race. Today was a taco truck & guest students in the Aqua Zumba class who talked afterwards about coming to California in the 1980s as dissidents from the Soviet Union.

There are so many Diane Keaton performances to remember, but a lot of people haven't seen Reds, and A) my God, see it, it is a masterpiece and B) her performance as Louise Bryant is one of the bravest, toughest, least sympathy-courting pieces of work by an American actress in the last 50 years.

there's something here

A normal-versus-normal matchup is what politics used to be — persuasion, messaging, negotiation, compromise. Behaving this way will lose against someone donning body armor while calling you an antifa domestic terrorist MS-13 gang member. And the guy in the body armor will always lose to the guy in the inflatable frog suit.

Austin now a supposed free speech Mecca for dipshit comedians to be racist and transphobic who would blubber if they faced the career ending consequences that Faulk faced after roasting Joseph McCarthy & HUAC.

Found the essay & it’s not just that Faulk brought down the Black List, it’s that his opponent was Roy Cohn. I www.motherjones.com/politics/199...

The 🐸 make me think of Molly Ivin’s tribute to John Henry Faulk “The Fun is in the Fighting,“ but this is a great assessment of how political rhetoric is Internet driven. Perfect examples in my own backyard btw Gov Newsom & local CA GOP reps all being obsessed w/podcasting & their online personas.

Powerful typhoon is set to trigger an unusually strong California storm

San Francisco’s rainiest day since winter is possible next week as energy from a recurving West Pacific typhoon dislodges cold air from Canada and whips up a storm along the West Coast.

Maria Corina Machado seems like she sucks but I also cannot help delighting in the fact that Trump still doesn't have the Nobel. He only wants it because Obama got it, just like his vapid ass only wanted to be president because Obama was. His racism is obvious and shallow.
