Finally brought the family to Dodger Stadium. I hadn't been in probably 30 years.

Our first visit to Ballhalla and a playoff clinching Valkyries win!
When you have no public trust, you're probably not too concerned with the notion of preserving it…
Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com · 2w agoNEW: In a clear politicization of the DOJ, U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared to endorse a Republican candidate for New York governor during a political rally. The comments mark a break from long-standing norms that the attorney general maintains strict neutrality to preserve public trust.
If this were happening under a Democratic pres, Fox would be on it 24 hours a day and there would be nonstop hearings by Republicans in Congress. Under Trump? Whatever dear leader says!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoQ: The family members of US service members are concerned about the conditions on the USS Lincoln TRUMP: No they're not Q: Has the deployment gone on too long? TRUMP: No no no. Not nearly long enough.
Leaving before your kids are old enough to be ashamed of you is a good move.

For @southwestreview.bsky.social I wrote about Thomas Bunstead’s thoughtful new translation of Marina Closs’s “The Depopulation,” a great novel exploring how a Guaraní community overseen by Spanish Jesuits in the 1500s reacts to the arrival of a man claiming to be the Son of God.

Merriweather Phish magnet to add to the collection since ticket stubs aren't a thing anymore.
Share your first three concerts. I'll start. Genesis (Paul Young opened) The Rolling Stones (Living Colour and Guns N' Roses opened) Billy Joel (no opener)
Living most of my life on the west coast, I saw 25 Grateful Dead shows over 3 years (1993–1995) and so far only 26 Phish shows over 32 years (1994–now). Funny how being a husband/father/ostensible grown-up changes things.
Does anyone other than James Carville think that James Carville is relevant to the Democratic Party anymore?
Donie O’Sullivan@donie.bsky.social · 4w ago"I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker ... if he becomes a force in the Democratic Party, I am out of here," James Carville says on Fox this morning. Reminder: The Left Insurgency airs tonight on CNN at 8p ET.
"The president has no impulse control and lies for political reasons" is an interesting take FOR A SUPPORTER.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoSen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."
Fall is shaping up to be a good season for my audiobook habit. Four preorders, er, in the books.
Happened to be in NYC so I took the advice of @elliottkalan.bsky.social and went to the Duchamp exhibit at MoMA.
Arrived in NYC and was disappointed that Mamdani wasn't waiting to greet me at Penn Station.
On the Acela from Philly to NYC. Just stopped at false Penn Station. Can't fool this Californian that easily!
Odd flight path from SFO to BWI, but we successfully avoided the thunderstorms and a lot of rough air
This should be obvious, but any Democrat who votes to approve any of Trump's awful nominees should he voted out.
Live your life in a such a way that you don't have to spring for a reinforced grave to support the weight of all those dancers.
I spoke to Mitch McConnell for two hours and he let me do all the talking.
