Great thread by “Jordan Mountkatzle” on the terrible 2018 Orioles
A bad trip down memory lane.
Brian Stelter doesn’t go far enough
Stelter usually does a good job but in this column he won’t say that Republicans are the problem for most of these issues. Maybe this is the influence of the new CNN owners.
Why do attempts at gun control laws fail? Republicans
The racist views are mainstream for only one party- Republicans

The word “Republican” is nowhere in the column. That’s pathetic.
Great Alice Cooper photos on Twitter
He’s drinking a beer in a lot of them. Make sure to follow the people on Twitter who post this stuff.
Films shown at Baltimore City Jury duty
This is great. They show films in the waiting rooms during Baltimore City jury duty. Some of the ones I remember are Hitch, Sabrina (Harrison Ford version), and It’s Complicated. They’re on the list already. Great job by the Twitter posters.

“Mercedes Benz” was the last song Janis Joplin recorded. Bob Neuwirth, one of the song’s authors, died yesterday.

Toto’s 1982 hit “Africa” was covered by Weezer in 2018. I found this out on Axstv’s program Top Ten Revealed – the Destinations episode.

My friend Jim texted me today about the NRBQ version of “Get Rhythm”. The original version by Johnny Cash is from 1956.
