This all feels like it’s being orchestrated by Steven Miller.

Reading the MacMahon piece reiterated to me (1) how many different camps and battling egos there are jockeying for position at any given time among the players, staff, etc. of any sports franchise, and (2) what a good job Mark Cuban did overall at keeping everyone going the same direction for 20+ years (yes, it wasn't perfect, but Nico's tenure and new ownership actions show how quickly all that can collapse).

Religiously, I am kind of in a rut (am I alone )

I’ve had similar struggles - and I can readily say that modern contemporary worship does absolutely nothing for me - it all feels performative and pandering. When I was living in London in the 90s, I became a big fan of Evensong, the Anglican evening service - and tried to attend regularly. That led me down the path towards more ancient liturgical worship, most notably that in the Anglican/Episcopal tradition. I ended up in an ELCA (Lutheran) congregation as a marriage compromise, but it’s similarly liturgical - and both denominations generally have a progressive serve-others focus which I also connect with. All that to say, you might try a smaller more traditional/liturgical service (as mentioned above) to see what you think. -
There's been a lot of cruel shit coming out of this White House, but this specific tweet may be the worst single thing I've seen from them yet.

Just now seeing this, but NewsHour streams each show live and keeps them available on-demand afterwards. https://www.youtube.com/@PBSNewsHour

This is interesting. 👀 The Quorum Report is well-sourced and pretty reliable (although I really wish they'd update their 1998-era website layout). https://quorumreport.com/

He’s more of a “friend of the show” pthan just about any other recurring guest they have because of his history on the show. And as a longtime listener, I like hearing his voice. I don’t fault him for his position, because he can’t win, just like all of the other folks that work for the organization who had no role in the trade and I’m sure wish it had never happened.

I feel for Mark. He’s clearly incredibly conflicted about this, and probably a bit worried for his job given the instability in the organization now - but Bob was also being a total a-hole about it as well. I think Mark should’ve hung up at the end of the first segment and just said “hey guys, sorry, I gotta go, I look forward to chatting next week.” The fact that he chose to come back and spar with them some more doesn’t reflect well on him, or really the Ticket guys either.

Last week I was having one of the best road rides I've had in ages, with the wind at my back and just feeling locked in. I was about 13mi in (lucky 13, I guess) when I swung wide to go around a parked car, hit an uneven patch of pavement and went OTB. I skidded along the pavement and came to a stop. No broken bones, but bruised my hip and wrist and skinned up my knees really badly (and tore up my gloves, too - glad my hands were protected). Approaching 50 I'm realizing I don't heal as quickly as I used to - I've felt surprisingly stiff and achy. Went on a short ride on my MTB last night around the neighborhood last night (first time since the wreck) and didn't die, so I'm ready to ease back into it. Gotta get the road bike checked out before riding it again, as it got beat up.

The documentary he made about his career and cancer journey is worth watching. Apparently though he survived the cancer (albeit without the ability to talk afterwards), it was pneumonia that got him. -
He was a Bernie Bro who ended up having enough Trump-adjacent folks on his show that they convinced him to endorse Trump. He’s generally suckered in by whoever was most recently in front of him, as he “just asks questions”.
