It’s never over

October 10, 2024

If you stopped watching the WNBA after Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever were eliminated, you’re missing some really good basketball. The Minnesota Linx were down 15 (!)with less than five minutes remaining in regulation, and won in OT.

The miuch disliked Pohlad family is selling the Minnesota Twins.

Don’t follow the Minnesota Twins closely but gather this is good news for Twins fans. Now if A’s owner John Fisher will do the same thing.

onald Trump shows up in Detroit, tells many lies, including about how bad the city is, and the Tigers lose a lead late in a potential series clinching ALDS game. Almost as if #ETTD

Soo many lies going around about FEMA response, amplified by Donald Trump.

Fox News, watched by many GOP, if they actually cared about life, could debunk lies for their viewers & readers. But they don’t.

Fox would rather have people die than have FEMA & Biden-Harris look good.

Meanwhile, ICYMI with Hurricane Milton, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is SUING television stations for airing a paid ad for the abortion amendment on the November ballot he dislikes. If you wanted an idea of what life would be like with Trump back in the White House, watch Florida.

There’s a recall over listeria of almost 10 million pounds of BrucePac, ready-to-eat meat and poultry products.

But come on, it’s only science. Waiting for Trump to tell his followers eat recalled meat, own the libs

Great Dark Brandon energy from Joe Biden today, when asked if he’d talked to Trump “Are you kidding me? Trump, get a life man, help these people.” Asked on holding Donald accountable. “The public will hold him accountable & YOU press, hold him accountable. You know the truth.”

Barack Obama on Trump, who is claiming now he will be women’s “protector.” “I’ll tell you how he protected you. He picked three judges who overturned Roe V. Wade.” Nailed it.

Give me a bleeping break.

Ron DeathSantis claims he won’t speak to Kamala Harris because as VP and a candidate she has “no role” with hurricane relief. But this morning CANDIDATE Trump released a video bragging that he’s been talking to the Florida Governor. No lie too small.

Under water

October 10, 2024

First year since 2018 that the Tampa Bay Rays were not in the postseason.

Good timing. Since Tropicana Field is now missing a roof.

(And it’s a different Bay… but there is an empty MLB stadium about 2500 miles west that might be a bit of a dump but may be a lot more usuable for 2025..)

Meanwhile, Fox Sports announcers with the “keen grasp of the obvious” award after the Cleveland Guardians have been shut out twice in a row by the Detroit Tigers in the ALDS.

“They have to find a way to score some runs tomorrow.”

It wil take days if not weeks to understand scope of devastation from Hurricane Milton, but a sad reminder- the Gulf of Mexico’s water is abnormally warm right now, which means we are likely to get more major hurricanes this year. Science doesn’t care if you believe in it or not.

Tropicana Las Vegas imploded at 230a Oct 9.. Used to love their $5 blackjack (for us who don’t gamble seriously) & great Comedy Club/Laugh Factory. But having Trop imploded in middle of night, when few are awake/paying attention, seems appropriate for John Fisher’s As


Wonder how many of these videos and interviews of people staying put for Hurricane Milton will be played at their memorial services?

Ron DeSantis as Milton approached: “If you’re hearing something that’s just outrageous, just know in the state of Florida, none of that stuff would ever fly, so you don’t have to worry about that.” If this weren’t such a potential tragic hurricane that statement would be funny.

Yes, understand Hurricane Milton is top story right now.

@FoxNews nonetheless found space on website front page for Donald’s supposed plan to have rally at MSG. Fox hasn’t managed to find space to cover Trump’s giving COVID machines to Vladimir Putin. We’re waiting.


Whether you believe in God, Mother Nature and/or Karma, one or all of them seem to believe that Ron DeSantis deleting climate change from every Florida state document and law was a REALLY bad idea.

Most Florida airports have shut down and almost the entire state is dealing withsevere weather. Tone deaf award, again, for the day goes to Donald Trump with his latest fundraising email. “YOU’RE INVITED TO MAR-A-LAGO!”
