The Traditional 'Good Night, Moon' Open Thread

Let's have one for the night shift. I know folks will want to laud the Yankees and deride the Mets.

The currently high-flying Red Sox crushed the Red Birds and turned an near-anniversary triple play:

With runners at first and second in the fourth inning, slow-footed Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina grounded sharply to Devers at third base. He stepped on the bag and threw to Nunez, who relayed to Moreland at first, where Molina was out on a close play.

It was the first triple play for Boston since Aug. 16, 2011, in Game 2 of a doubleheader against Tampa Bay.

Mark your calendars for Aug 14, 2023.

All human beings are descended from former slave owners...and slaves.

Comment at Wretchard's;

there is something vaguely Dorian Gray'ish about ole mitt. an impression of internal decay and rot.

Heh.

My keyboards have two sets of Ctl and Alt keys, one set on each side of the spacebar. The sequence (excluding windows and other keys) is
Ctl Alt Spacebar Alt Ctl

Mine does too. Not sure how a person who types for a living didn't catch that but oh well... ::grin::

Shoot.

-- They really do intend to use preschool through high school to rewire brains to try to make people believe, values, and be willing to act on whatever ideas justify the planned revolution. --

With varying degrees of success. Young adults can be flipped on a dime. "Entitlement" and "oppression theology" are powerful incentives considering human nature.

daddy: I sure hope SBW is doing well in Rome

Thank you, daddy. Not as well as I would like, but well enough to stay afloat. We will do better in the future after we finish our health and pension obligations to about 25 people who retired long ago. They have lived into their 90s and we are standing by our obligations.

We have an intern in the newsroom. Today I gave him my email to AP last night that asked why their coverage after the Trump presser was not accurate. I added:

As others have noted the highlights were:

1. Not all the demonstrators were neo-Nazis.
2. Where will it end. Will we take down statues of George Washington?
3. There was violence on both sides.
4. Frankly, you don’t know everything.

Report it.

I gave the intern today’s AP story, my rewrite, and a copy of the transcript of Trump’s presser.

I asked him to tell me afteer he read it if he was embarrassed by how the reporters handled themselves.

Yrs that's the way it looks ignatz

CNN:. What's the 'alt-left'? Experts say it's a 'made-up term'

Unlike most words.

[henry]

TM, re CNN, what's an "expert"?

LOL @ 10:17.

Is the Empire Hotel rooftop bar any good?

That's a good choice, peter. It's where Mrs K and I met up with sbw and Mrs sbw a few years ago.

[Threadkiller]

As of tonight I'm no longer a Republican.

I am stunned that The Consent Decree wasn't as motivational.

[Old Lurker]

"Is the Empire Hotel rooftop bar any good?"

Indeed. We hosted a graduation party for YL2 there a few years back.

CNN and WaPo are off the rails today!

The party of Lincoln is now the party of ... Southern slave owners who decided to kill fellow Americans so that they could keep men, women and children enslaved.

Expert - guy with a briefcase, more than 50 miles from home. Or breaking the word down "ex" is "use to be" and "spert" is "drip under pressure."

From the Link posted by narciso at 10:02.

" The modern home of sheer, unbridled hatred today is the Democrat Party and the people that vote for them. "

IMO, there are only 2 choices. Democrat or Republican. I choose Republican. That is the party I choose to work to try to improve. IMO, there is no way I could work to improve the Democrat party because they hate every thing I believe in.

[pagar, a bacon, ham and sausage supporter]

IMO, they have only one, everything else they do is intended to further their goal. If one is voting for any of them that is helping them reach their goal.

Just kidding. I'll pour your drink on them. ;)

If one does not support killing innocent children:

https://www.weaselzippers.us/353275-planned-parenthood-president-cecile-richards-democrats-who-support-pro-life-candidates-lack-principles/

you lack principles according to a woman who gets a salary higher than the president of the USA. That clearly indicates IMO, the democrats think killing innocent children should be rewarded.

Praise Gaia! Overnight Baltimore is free! --not of murders or murderers but of Confederate statues.

“It should have happened sooner, I’m pleased that the city made a move,” Christine Manganaro told WJZ’s Amy Yensi.

“It’s not an erasure of history,” Manganero went on to say. “There’s lots of places where we learn about our history — libraries, archives, public school. This is actually not the site of any significant activity during the Civil War so it’s not a historic site.”
