Just a random thought about the current Musk/Trump fight. The only good thing that might come out of it would be a nationalization of SpaceX. The erosion of NASA is a US national disgrace. Folding that company back in and redirecting the funding would be a tremendous boost.

Elon Musk wakes up, bleary and disoriented. "Grimes, I just had the weirdest dream..." he mutters as he rolls over to her. "Tell me all about it, Space Daddy," replies Stephen Miller's wife in bed beside him. "Yeah, tell her," comes Stephen's bitter voice from a chair in the semi-darkness.

I don't know if Americans understand how closely non-Americans have been following the absolute brutalities inflicted seemingly randomly or at whim to travelers by Customs. People have been detained in miserable conditions for days and weeks without any reason, so why risk it?

Not going to lie... TACO feels 'sticky' in a social media sense. Trump has been really good at avoiding being branded in any way that he can't just brush off. But TACO is already under his skin and it is easy to perpetuate.

The great @suzannevega.bsky.social releases “Luka” as a single this weekend in 1987. Upon hearing it, Prince (whom she never met) sent a letter. “‘Luka’ is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time,” he wrote. “There are no words 2 tell you all the things I feel when I hear it.”

I had a couple of questions about my HoF stance so I'll try and elaborate. First of all, I see the Hall as primarily a museum and archive of baseball history. So election to the Hall is less about honouring a player as it is acknowledging their contributions to baseball history.

My unpopular opinion is that I've always been fine with players who receive life time bans being eligible on their deaths. That said, the hall really needs to consider how to include these players within the history of the sport without honouring them and whitewashing their actions.
