#49ers’ film hack. Heavy metal snob, music elitist. US House and Senate alum. I once high-fived Dianne Feinstein after talking football.

And a happy birthday to this debut show, which turned 35 years old today. It is now eligible to be US President.

Newsom acting like Trump Lite = bad theatre, seen it before, lacks Trump's perverse charm, speaks to a closed loop

Portland frogs posting up on ICE goons = good theatre, never seen it before, highlights a ridiculous thing by juxtaposing another, kids love it, shareable among all kinds of adult

I was gonna get off my ass and write something up on the evolution of the Dragon Lion concept, but A) it's not turning out like I wanted, B) I feel it needs an actual historical look, not just something that skims the surface. But, here's what I found.

The taunting penalty is goddamn ridiculous. They are calling it for nothing. DeJean did nothing. He stepped over the man. They are going to turn it into the NBA. Garbage.

I know a few of you moved permanently from X to Bluesky, so let's see if Bluesky finally allows me to post my #49ers film clips this season.

Pleased to see Strom Thurmond's racist record in the US Senate smashed into pieces.

They don't want to burn the books, they just remove 'em.
Hegseth's office ordered the U.S. Naval Academy to review all 590,000 books in its library for content at odds with an executive order banning “radical indoctrination” in K-12 schools, even though it is a college. MLK, Einstein books already identified for removal www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/u...
Naval Academy Takes Steps to End Diversity Policies in Books and Admissions
The defense secretary’s office has ordered that some books be removed from circulation in its library, and the academy has ended the use of affirmative action in admissions.

Wrote about Donald Trump and his administration trying to erase Jackie Robinson from American history.

Thankfully, the people noticed and stopped this from happening. But if Jackie Robinson isn't a step too far, then who is?

Hope you'll give this a read today.
If the Trump administration is willing to erase Jackie Robinson's history, then no one's safe
Jackie Robinson is an American hero and the Trump administration still tried to erase him from our history.

“We do not understand how the leader of a country that is a symbol of the free world cannot see this.”

Because the ‘leader’ is a complete dope.
Lech Walesa, the leader of Poland’s Solidarity movement, joined with former Polish political prisoners to send an impassioned letter to President Trump voicing "horror and disgust" at his scolding of President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine last week.

Unclear how The White Stripes have been nominated for the Rock Hall of Fame twice; Tool has not had a single nomination and neither has Opeth.

A look back at the #49ers' Week 15 loss - one so ugly that I used a Nelson song title as a headline.

The 49ers' Week 15 performance was a frustrating loss to the Rams. Offensive struggles & questionable play calls overshadow Purdy's potential. But are their playoff hopes dead?

Let's see if some shorter clips of the #49ers' Week 13 loss to Buffalo will work on here.

I put together a few sentences on the #49ers' Week 11 loss. All this before learning about Purdy's shoulder issue. So, take it for a few grains of salt.

Broken leashes

Honorary Robert Saleh Pregame Run is complete, including a running a mile up a hill. Doing my part to ensure a #49ers’ victory.
