Got my author’s copies of the newly-revised edition of The Big 50 today. You can find yours online or at bookstores in Reds Country.

@dotsonc.bsky.social and I updated everything, and added some new chapters covering the exciting 2023 Reds, top rookies, and legendary Reds fastballs.

mr macfeely from the speedy delivery service gave me really unrealistic ideas about how willing the postman would be to come inside and watch videos about how they make orange juice with me

My point is not complicated. People are mean on all the different platforms. I can do without the horseshit about how this one specifically is just filled with nice people who want to have picnics and listen to music

Get ready for shameless self-promotion -- the Big 50: Cincinnati Reds is BACK.

Preorder NOW, with an official release date of March 4, 2025.

Saw a lot of people around here saying things like "Nazis marched unmolested through the Short North" or other things suggesting nobody in Columbus fought back against them. turns out they were very much not unmolested
heartwarming story for the holidays ❤️‍🔥

“…the neo-Nazis told police they had never experienced a response like the one they received in Columbus. They said people pulled guns on them and threw cans and vegetables as they marched... One of the officers noted the men were ‘covered in’ pepper spray.”

We got to see Murphy's vision for a star-studded 80s crime drama.

He wrote and directed Harlem Nights, starring himself, Richard Pryor, and Redd Foxx.

Austin Slater (-0.4)
Ty France (-0.4)

My great-grandfather killed a guy (who had just shot my great-great uncle, the deputy sheriff). He was convicted and sentenced to 21 years. He beat that on appeal.

Lost the retrial too, was sent to prison, but was then pardoned at the petiton of the prosecutor and 11 of the 12 jurors.
Give me one interesting fact about your family history that you learned.

Great Washington Post nostalgia study. Adults think U.S. society was historically nicest and comfiest—most moral and close-knit, families happiest—whenever they happened to be little kids, and culture (music, movies, TV, fashion, sports, food) best whenever they were adolescents. wapo.st/3WXd9xS

sorry guys, the notion of a special protective service for the supreme court is not "deeply rooted" in our nation's history or traditions. best we can offer is a set of flintlock rifles circa 1789.
