It’s important to note in the Marianne Budde discussion that she was part of a very very traditional ecumenical and American service. The American flag followed the service cross and the National Anthem was sung at the beginning. This was hardly a “hippie fest led by a lady Bishop” as MAGA sez

So, good work by @xfinitysupport.bsky.social getting me my replacement cable box. I’m amazed at how the tech continues to shrink. Even a few years ago, the “main box” was the size of a pizza box. This new “primary box” is the size of a deck of cards. I’m guessing cloud storage makes a difference.

I assume this is HER grift to keep raising money to pay off whatever the billion dollars didn’t cover. Please, Kamala, exit stage right. I assume you can be the Dean of Something at USC or UCLA.

Is Nick Siriani owed an apology? I mean, the regular stream of “this guy is awful” starts from Eagles fans with the first loss. The Eagles are cruising (and I’m a 49ers fan and we are NOT) #eagles #flyeaglesfly #49ers

It will be humorous when Texas school children show up at home and begin to actually discuss Jesus. What will the Chuds say when their kid is “Jesus says we need to care for the poor” or that “peacemakers are blessed, Daddy…why do you have a gun?” You’ll see Christian education pulled quickly

Stop fretting about the Costco butter recall (because it did not include the FEDERALLY mandated “contains milk” on the packaging). I beg you, please get a life. This isn’t about people not knowing butter contains milk. You want to change ingredient list requirements, contact your friend RFK, Jr.

I know Lane Kiffin can be a bit of a pill, bit he really is one of my fave CFB head football coaches. Glad he’s finding success at Ol Miss (and I’m a Longhorn fan). His sideline interactions with reporters are funny, direct and a lot more than “we need to play hard”

Terrific reading from Josh Barro. And he’s right. Biden is 80 percent responsible for Trump’s re-elect. Not quitting is a big one and picking her as VP was another. She never made it out of the ‘20 primaries — leaving in ‘19. A bad message from a bad messenger.

Cooper Manning at the OU/UT Red River Shootout. Chris Fowler @espnplus.bsky.social called it a “hundred gallon hat.”

Stolen, but funny especially after my run in with a dog owner who had their dog off the leash on this morning’s walk. “Oh, she’s friendly.” “Yeah, I’m not.”

A little something from the other site…I lol’d

And that, ladies and gentleman, is how you do marketing

I didn’t have Brian Kemp on my scorecard as someone who would serve as a bulwark against other Repubs (esp in his own state). Refusing to call a special session to let the crazies take out the Fulton Co DA is a big deal. Abbott would have done it in two minutes flat…

You know if Biden had frozen up at a media availability, “Speaker” McCarthy (is he still around) would be all “time to invoke the 25th Amendment!” Mitch? “Leave him alone…he’s an old man”
