The @DetroitPistons are playing the @chicagobulls tonight for the second game in a row…at the @UnitedCenter in Chicago. I can’t ever remember two teams in any pro sport playing consecutive games in the same arena. Can you? I’ve heard of back to back…what is this? Away and away?

@ii_meyer Bad Company, Black Crowes and Phish. Don’t worry about sending the cap; I’ll just stop by someday to pick it up.

Wordgrouch Word of the Day: moxie (MOK-see), n. (Slang): vigor; verve; pep. Nerve; courage and aggressiveness. Skill or know-how. A great old word, commonly heard in ‘40s crime or romantic movies, almost never used anymore. Who do you know who’s just full of moxie?

It seems only natural her birthday should be in February. #RosaParks, who sparked the most successful mass movement against racial segregation in history when she refused to give her seat to a white man on a city bus was born 112 years ago in Alabama. She is #BlackHistoryMonth.

Take some very small consolation, Detroit @Lions and your massive fandom: any team can have its lousiest day on the biggest stage of its season. @Chiefs #superbowl

I’ve never known ANYONE who was featured in a SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL before! We see you, Ryan Hudson-Peralta! You’re an inspiration. If the @Lions couldn’t get on the field, at least #DetroitvsEverybody made the game! @RocketOTD #SuperBowl

This feels like an INSULT, since we all know tRUMP evaded military service five times (bone spurs can be murder) and never served a day in his life. Was @FOXSports ordered to show him during pregame? Besides, he’s sure @JonBatiste only got the National Anthem by DEI! @SuperBowl

This day in 1995, NASA astronaut Dr. Bernard Harris stepped out of the shuttle Discovery, becoming the first Black man to walk in space. He said it fulfilled a dream he had held since childhood. “The main challenge,” he noted, “was the color of my skin.” #BlackHistoryMonth2025

This might be what Heaven is like: this Saturday @MSU_Basketball (FOX), @umichbball (CBS) and the @DetroitRedWings (ABC) are all on network TV AT THE SAME TIME! Out-of-state ex-pats, try not to overdose! 😁

This is the day that led to the month. On Feb. 7, 1926, Carter G. Woodson created “Negro History Week.” He died long before the U.S. affirmed #BlackHistoryMonth in 1970, yet he’s still hailed as “the Father of Black History.” And Happy Birthday today to comedy legend Chris Rock.

Can ANYBODY with common sense explain to me how the @Lions can win 15 games, beat the @Vikings TWICE, and Vikings pretty boy Kevin O’Connell is named NFL Coach of the Year? Another clear case of anti-Detroit bias? You know how sensitive we are! Dan Gambled — how did he not win?

On Feb. 2, 2025, @Beyonce Knowles-Carter won her first @RecordingAcad GRAMMY for Album of the Year after five previous nominations. She earned the honor for her LP “Cowboy Carter,” which also won for Best Country Album, making her the first Black woman ever win in the category. In her acceptance speech, she dedicated the award to Linda Martell, the first Black woman to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. People, we’re seeing Black History right before our eyes! #BlackHistoryMonth2025

On this day in 2009, U.S. deputy attorney general Eric Holder was appointed the nation’s 82nd attorney general. He was the first African American in history to hold the office. #BlackHistoryMonth2025

On February 1, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln signed the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which stated that “neither slavery nor involuntary servitude…shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." #BlackHistoryMonth2025

I would join tRump in anger and outrage over DEI hirings to blame for the #WashingtonDCPlaneCrash…if he could offer one scintilla of proof. Like most senile old men, he mutters the first things that come to mind. Danger is, the MAGAt minions think his words are carved in stone.

Jimmy Mack's Rules of Life: Miracles aren't miracles when they actually happen. That's just #God being God.

There’s a #GeneHackman movie marathon into the wee hours tonight on @tcm, and deservedly so! HAPPY 95th to one of America’s greatest unsung actors!

Anybody else get the sense Dr. Now was particularly tough on #Jacky on tonight’s episode of #my600lblife? Could it be because she towered over him?🤔

You have to laugh to keep from hyperventilating. The newest tRump bobblehead he expects all his MAGA minions to race out and buy has him placing his left hand on the Bible…something he took great pains NOT to do at his Inauguration. Maybe even Donnie fears divine retribution.
