This crime can't go away. I don't give a shit what
#GeorgeFloyd
did, or if he resisted. When you put your body weight on his neck, & he loses consciousness & you remain there, & and then check his fucking pulse & STILL remain there, that's murder.
I don't eat Pizza Hut or go into Pizza Hut but if I ate Pizza Hut or was at Pizza Hut one of the best things about
#BoycottPizzaHut
is that I would no longer see miserable, self-important nut-jobs like this at Pizza Hut.
Always like to see Dave Grohl trend, especially when he's doing community work.
But I know him as a musician. One of my favorites is when he's going all fucking Muppets "Animal" on the drums with Lemmy & Slash on this cover of a classic.

Stevie Ray Vaughan, born OTD 1954.
IMO the greatest guitarist to ever fuse blues & rock. He was put on this earth to play music. It was his entire existence. I cried when I heard the news.
RIP, legend.

The FBI goes undercover & infiltrates fringe groups all the time. They admit it. It's in court filings & witness testimony at trials. It's what they do.
Often they take it WAY too far, pushing people & groups into doing things they wouldn't normally do.
Wake up!
OTD 1966 Neil Young, Stephen Stills & Richie Furay form Buffalo Springfield. Though short-lived they produced a counter-culture anthem that defined an era.

US has finally (no shit, just now in July 2023) ended taxpayer funding of viral bioweapons at Wuhan Institute of Virology as truth is finally being told.
Remember Fauci lying to America & perjuring himself before Congress & Jon Stewart with common sense?
Statement from Marlins CEO Derek Jeter.
I found it odd how he says everything was fine until they left Miami and began traveling. With this many positive cases they didn't all get infected over the past few days. An unnecessary blame game IMO.

Look at what the Democrat party does to the Black community. Not words, but action & policy.
Inner city public education. The breakup of the nuclear family to ensure generational poverty. Lax crime laws. Promoting abortion. Defund police.

OTD in 1980, Bon Scott performed his last concert at Gaumont theater in Southampton, England.

I saw my Dad cry 3 times.
When he returned from Vietnam (I was 2, my earliest memory).
When I pulled my truck away, leaving for college.
When John Lennon died.
Bob Costas used to be great. Covered sports with an intellectual bend & historical knowledge.
Became overbearing in his commentary, meandering into condescension & lecture.
It's digressed to full-on personal & cultural elitism & disdain.
Fuck you, Bob.
Angel Hernandez has sucked at his job for a VERY LONG time.
August 7, 2001 he had guest conductor Steve "Mongo" McMichael ejected from the Wrigley Field broadcast booth for criticizing his shitty performance.
Albert Collins, aka the "Iceman" & "The Master of the Telecaster", born OTD in Leona, TX, 1932.
One of the icons who plugged in delta blues & helped invent rock n' roll.

Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake's plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan...
It spun in...
There were no survivors."
One of the O.R. episodes where actors had to express emotion with eyes.
These statements are even more damning now. Biden's correct: they were all in on it.

You've heard this masterpiece. Do you know anything about it?

As a biased Cubs fan I want to say Ryno, but that's not true. I have him

. Arguably best ever defensively, top-3 pop, speed, leader by example.
And has a iconic game named after him, when he did this to HOF closer Bruce Sutter.

So many interpretations of this song. I have a pretty good idea what he's talking about.
I've lived mine, & it was the most amazing two weeks of one aspect of my life. Zero verbal communication.

May 25, 1983 Ronnie James Dio released the debut album of his newly-formed band Dio, "Holy Diver", following his first stint as singer with Black Sabbath.

@Super70sSports
That was when he was with the Mets, as Ricky goes on to explain. Likely the 2nd-longest HR in Wrigley history.
May 17, 1979, when he was with the Cubs, he hit the 3rd-longest.

Usually, yes. But not always.

They all do this. Parents lay eggs on clifftops to protect from predators.

And that was only the 2nd most impressive throw Parker made in that game.
Here he loses the ball in the dome & guns Jim Rice at 3B.

Lots of great tunes, including this one that Robert Plant described as "the perfect Zeppelin song".

Sad part is this is her alone, by herself. Probably on a 14- hour TikTok binge.
Imagine living like this, being this hateful & miserable. Social media has tapped into this self-loathing insecurity to push more hate & division for political gain.
And it works, amazingly well.
Great clip of Greg Maddux & Tony Gwynn talking about their crafts & facing each other. Maddux never Kd Gwynn, who went 39-for-94 (.415), 8 2B, 3B, 11 BB, 0 SO, 9 RBI v Mad Dog.

I saw my Dad cry three times:
When he "met" me upon returning from Vietnam.
When I pulled my truck away from home, leaving & going to college.
When John Lennon died.
This hits me hard. It's what I hate more than anything: a POS in a position of physical dominance causing pain, & in this case death, upon another living creature that isn't strong enough to defend themselves. I feel for the victim, & wish for 5 mins alone w/ these bastards.
People need to realize how much of what you see on social media is LITERALLY paid propaganda. These large accounts with snarky, partisan posts that get you all worked up are making $$$ to do exactly that.
Once you know this it's easier to filter out BS & see truth.
If you want.
The information in this post by
@RyanAFournier
is what an ‘influencer marketing firm’ wanted to pay me to promote.
What’s more interesting? That people like Ryan are getting paid to promote this, or the propaganda that Trump is considering picking Doug Burgum as VP?

There are many ways to manipulate the numbers, & they use them all.

You can have 100 dead bodies lying on the street but if no no is charged with homicide, murder rate is 0.

Right up there, no? We'd go back-to-school shopping for Wranglers & undies & grab dinner. That was a night on the town.

Stan Musial reminds me of children's show host Mr. Rogers in that regard: almost too good to be true.

Williams took a lot of media grief for initially "dodging" deployment & seeking a new baseball contract.
Truth is he wanted guaranteed $ for his family. Many celebrities did ceremonial duty out of harm's way.
Teddy Ballgame was going to kill commies & knew he may die doing so.
@Super70sSports
Not even a question when you take out the "technical" aspect. Early Sabbath sucked when critiqued through musical channels.
But that power, that angst, that darkness and that fucking thunderous rhythm provided by Geezer Butler was groundbreaking.
Watching Alex Murdaugh cry on TV. Surreal.
I know him & his family. I've built stuff for him on that ranch, shot guns & drank beer on that crime scene. He had money. He flaunted it. Good 'Ol boy in rural South Carolina.
I never knew he was this bad. He hid it well.
Powerful poem from Barry Daniel Murphy.
This spirit is what tyrannical government fears, why they try to ostracize "toxic masculinity" & push effeminization of young boys & men.
This protector instinct, to sacrifice one's life in defense of the weak, is an existential threat.
MTV Unplugged was a cultural phenomenon during the 90s.
Many bands made notable appearances. This song rules them all.
Eddie Vedder is fucking shaking. I've been there. It's, pardon the pun, nirvana.
No match for this crescendo.

Great play & execution, but planned.
Cubs Javy Baez, aka "El Mago", doing improvisation. He needs Jobu's rum to hit a breaking ball but his spontaneous baseball IQ embarrasses his peers.
Spoiler: there's 2 outs. If he isn't safe at 1B, run doesn't count.

David Koresh was a sick freak who deserved the death penalty. His followers were lost souls who were searching for something & easily influenced.
FBI & CIA were on his case for years. They could have apprehended him peacefully numerous times.
