The Springsteen line from Gypsy Biker, "To them who threw you away, you ain't nothing but gone," seems appropriate here.

Are you saying Frank Drebin could have salvaged the situation in Stalingrad for the Germans? The Dukakis picture on the wall is hilarious.

Operation Blue is the exception that proves the rule?

There is nothing much to say right now other than that this war is illegal, unprovoked, and unconstitutional, and Trump and Netanyahu are both war criminals who belong in the Hague. And that I hope for as few people to die because of their madness as possible.

Any idea where the photo was taken?

He’d have to be front and center.

I don't think the "Einstein" or other AI replacing the important steps of learning, esp in higher ed, would be posing quite the challenge it is right now if students hadn't been sent the message their entire lives that the point of college is to get good grades and a high paying job, not to learn.

That’s a good hat.

Panzerschokolade for tech companies.

Two young guys and a much older guy with a real history of injuries. This can't bode well for the Rockets down the stretch.

It focuses on the impacts of blockade on Sicily and Sardinia, 1940-43. It links 3 themes that, in our view, have too often been siloed in the historiography of the SWW (esp Italy). 1/

Very enjoyable.

My town in Italy is having a Native American exhibit tomorrow pondering their struggles and resistance “especially now with what is happening in the U.S.” Everybody but your parents it seems knows what is going on is Not Good.

Don’t forget the Red Sox. And when you open this up to the college ranks, the numbers expand greatly.

You can have water when we’ve won the decisive battle

Representing a country in sport is not the same thing as pledging loyalty to a fascist regime.

Left-wing campus cancel culture continues to rampage unchecked…

Funny you write that. I'm currently working on the resurrected 305. I.D. in Italy. It had to surrender significant units to be sent east just as the Allies were landing at Salerno & it was carrying out Operation Axis. Germany simply couldn't square the demands of the east with the Mediterranean.

That a major political party has accepted that their power rests in part on the support of white supremacists among their voting base, and therefore regards it as bad politics to assert any moral objectivity, is the most telling part of the last decade.

Grunge is whiny.

Chicken Soup for the Soulless

Just one more above average starter would be great.

The Os franchise has more than enough years that could be termed historically bad. It’s nice to have some hope the past couple of years.

Yep. Yankees, Sawx (at least this century), Dodgers, and Cardinals fans have had a pretty good run.

For sure. I’ve been an Os fan for 45 years and the number of years where you could say “they can” is maybe 15, so I’ll take it.

It's going to be a brawl, but I think the Os can do it.
