I clicked on this video because I love this production of Merrily We Roll Along, and something so bad happens in the first ten seconds that I am now forming a commission to investigate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAlV...

In celebration of tomorrow's opening night of the third season of our right-in-your-damn-house adaptation of A Christmas Carol, I say ye:

Who call him spurious and shoddy
Shall do it o'er my lifeless body.
I heartily invite such birds
To come outside and say those words!

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

WELKER: Inflation has gone up. It's at 3% now up from 2% in April when the tariffs were imposed--
BESSENT: No, no no no. So, inflation hasn't gone up. The one thing we're not gonna do is do what the Biden administration did and tell the American people they don't know how they feel

And in retrospect the reason anyone hated anything was at least 75% being young and ignorant and overly concerned with the image of Cool. Then most became adults and…learned about things.
As someone who is this guy's age I can tell you 100% that if you were into Pixies, Nirvana, 120 Minutes stuff, etc. but didn't like the Beatles you had to have worked hard to contort yourself into that special little box. Your enemy, if you absolutely needed one, was hair metal. GTFO here with this.
