Congrats to baseball’s newest Hall of Famers!

Reminder that Amazon, Meta, Apple, and Google are each facing federal antitrust lawsuits. They each gave cash hand over fist to Trump’s inaugural fund, which raked in a record $250 million. When I say money in politics corrupts our system, this is what I’m talking about.

New cookbook that I picked up at the local butcher shop. Did the carrot curry with walleye last night.

Band Aid turns 40 this year. Nick Bambach invited me and some of our music buddies to discuss the YouTube documentary. Give it a watch and then give us a listen while you cook Christmas dinner.

I had a great interview today with singer/songwriter Robbie Fulks. Robbie has been writing and performing great Alt Country/Roots/Folk music for the last four decades!  We discussed his career, his upcoming performances at Fitzgerald's in Berwyn, IL and his latest album Bluegrass Vacation!

I really like BlueSky, but the bots are really making me feel overly important.

Great Retro Rock Roundup today with the legendary Tom "Bones" Malone!

A Man On The Inside (Netflix) is sweet and funny. You probably won’t like it. Oh, wait. This is the Good Place.

To all of the people complaining about people singing at the showings of “Wicked”, those folks went there to experience joy. Let them sing. Let them experience joy. If you don’t want singing, wait until it comes on streaming and when you kid starts singing…

I’m going to open a duty free shop at the airport that sells steel, oil, cars, and computers. People will only have to a buy an airplane ticket. #tariffhack

Trump voters about to learn what FAFO means.

Ok. I’m done. I hope your Thanksgiving tables only focus on the Lions beating the Bears. And, yes, I root for both teams, but c’mon you have to pull for the Lions this year.

So I got my first block from Facebook for saying the information doesn’t meet their standards. Interesting. I’m checking every source.

A little fuel for your Thanksgiving table. “People are flooding across the border.” Part 2. Taxes paid by undocumented immigrants. I’m pretty sure this is the study news outlets are referring to. itep.org/undocumented...

A little fuel for your Thanksgiving table. “I pay way too much in taxes.” This mainly focuses on Federal taxation, but give the full thing a read. Interesting information. itep.org/who-pays-tax...

A little fuel for your Thanksgiving table. “People are flooding across the border.” Part 1-eh. Best data source I could find. Just wanted to make the Canada joke. www.cbp.gov/newsroom/sta...

A little fuel for your Thanksgiving table. “People are flooding across the border.” Part 1. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

(2/2) 1. I cannot find any proof of that agreement. 2. There are no military bases in Belize. (Just Google it. That simple.) If I have this wrong, please point me to the correct data.

I’m doing the “a little fuel” thing because someone I know has repeatedly said, “Imported fruit from Belize is causing US farmers to have to dump crops because Obama put a deal in place that put no tariffs on Belize in exchange to put a military base in that country.” (1/2)

A little fuel for your Thanksgiving table. “The Economy is tanking” Part 6. Note “mean” and “average” are basically the same thing mathematically. I’ve seen people use “median” which would skew this much higher. www.statista.com/statistics/2...

A little fuel for your Thanksgiving table. “The Economy is tanking” Part 5. Gross Domestic Product 2008-2024. usafacts.org/metrics/gros...

A little fuel for your Thanksgiving table. “The Economy is tanking” Part 4. Inflation rate since 2008. Note the lag of COVID-19. usafacts.org/answers/what...
