Meanwhile Mike Vrabel is a piece or two from making the Pats the Pats again -- without him (or Brady). It's kinda delicious.

I'd add to this list: *Some* blue state governors.

It seems there are two main reasons things haven’t gone completely to shit in the US: 1. Lawyers and the courts; 2. Journalists and the media. Most of us can’t do anything about the first, but we can support journalism. Stop complaining about paywalls and subscribe to news & donate to public media.

He doesn't seem like a viable national candidate, sir. But he's doing some things right, things that could *in part* serve as a template for a more viable candidate.

You think Chicagoans are tough, wait'll they roll into Boston. Boston has a history with occupying armies.

The blue wave brain worms seem extra-bad this morning.

"Green olives on pizza" seems pretty tame by this thread's standards, but... green olives on pizza.

It may not be a "coup" so much as covering for someone who is... unwell.

Dang. Seems like a good idea, though.

(My dad is 83 and decided on his own to stop driving last year. Mom is 82 and... hasn't stopped.)

Doesn't FL re-test drivers annually after a certain age? Every state should.

100%. And Vrabel knows a bit about that.

Ugh. Well, he's right that he's going to lose that battle.

Oh hey, the New England Patriots. It's nice to feel good about rooting for them again.

The Boston Globe @bostonglobe.com · 3d

In front of a national TV audience, the Patriots proved they’re not going to back down from a challenge.

The Patriots didn’t just improve to 3-2 with Sunday night’s win. They established themselves as a legitimate, playoff-caliber outfit just five games into Mike Vrabel’s tenure as coach.

I haven't paid much attention to him, but now I wonder what he thinks this "true mission" -- the one that everyone else is apparently too stupid to understand -- might be.

It certainly isn't good!

(He does, however, physically resemble Goebbels to some extent, which is probably where all this comes from. But yeah, Himmler.)

John Rosevear @jrosevear.bsky.social · 3d

Also Goebbels didn't lose his nerve until the Soviets were approaching Berlin. This guy is definitely no Goebbels.

Certainly gambling ads have made a lot of sports broadcasts harder to sit through.

John Rosevear @jrosevear.bsky.social · 3d

It's probably a win for price discovery in the stock market. It's definitely a win for the sports betting companies. It's probably not a win for the people taking those alternative risks.

Mmm-hmm. Interesting damn times.

Canada is also much, much emptier than the US. Which can be nice.

John Rosevear @jrosevear.bsky.social · 5d

Agree on both counts.
