This is a sad state of affairs. In the '80s and '90s we warned people that strip mining for coal was going to increase climate change and lead to environmental disasters. Now the coal companies have left and all the poor communities are getting slammed. www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2...

George Clooney has become a citizen of France. A successful dude who has had the world at his feet in the US for some time has decided he doesn't want to raise his family here any longer.

Holy ba-jeebus that wind was strong last night. We went from nice sweater weather to a quadruple layered when-will-this-pass.

I don't know if the Cincinnati #Bengals were that good today, or if the Arizona #Cardinals were just that bad. Who-dey!

RIP Ms Bardo. What an interesting and complex character. en.vijesti.me/amp/789431/p...

I hope they call off the lawsuit, but if not, then I hope the artist wins. Canceling a show is unprofessional, but changing up the whole vibe of the venue you signed a contract with is also out of bounds. www.npr.org/2025/12/27/g...

Trump gets worried about Epstein files news outing him more... thus he needs to distract with military action against a country that has never done anything to the USA. And on Christmas, the day said to usher in eternal peace. Disgraceful.

Merry Christmas from Kate Bush 1979 youtu.be/B6BPRGKaaf4?...

Oh, look at that. It's December 23rd, and you know that that means! #festivus

Support your Canadians. youtu.be/xpGV1jOqk4I?...

Maybe it can be winking???

I can think of a few others...but yes.

A Lord of the Rings cover band called Tolkien Heads

I thought it was a mistake when the New York Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau. Turned out so much better. Mike Brown gets so much more out of their roster. It would have been nice to see this kind of offense with Cleveland when Brown coached there.

You've got to love that AT&T commercial where Dad says his wife doesn't want anything for Christmas, and then daughter says they should buy her a $1,099 cell phone...just in case. Mom loves her selfies!

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

Zohran doubles down on his call to cap resale! While his focus is on FIFA, this is something that musicians have backed all over the US, and is already the law in much of the rest of the world. Last month, the UK joined the growing list of countries capping resale at face value.

Well Frank settled down out in the Valley and he hung his wild years on a nail that he drove through his wife's forehead

Shocking to learn there's a Nazi dude living in...Glendale Ohio. That is a wealthy area of Cincinnati. Tonight...citizens of Glendale held a peace vigil to speak up that they aren't okay with that kind of behavior. www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2...

Non-denial denials from Susie Wiles You'll notice she just shoots chaff at everybody else but disputes none of the quotes Not the part about Trump's alcoholic personality, Vance being a conspiracy theorist, Musk micro-dosing It's Fake Umbrage

Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, spills the beans on the insanity & incompetence of the Trump Administration. The details of her confessions & my take on if you’re in this Administration, you’re complicit in its atrocities. youtu.be/ePZQRmEaBiY?...

You know it's bad when I thought all this talk about Disclosure Day was something related to the Epstein files.

Someone from Reverb website just calculated that the estimated value of Oasis' gear used on stage in 2025 was around $340,000, and that wasn't including drums. Some expensive guitar rigs.

Thank you. I certainly don't believe in living silently, but getting on social media daily for outrage du jour only to swing at windmills is unproductive and makes you miserable.

But our god-emperor said ICE was only going to go after the bad criminals, not the good people who work jobs most Americans turn their noses at! My latest cartoon on Pepperspectives. @davidpepperoh.bsky.social davidpepper.substack.com

RIP Joe Ely. Got to see you twice in concert and you were a hell of a performer. You brought people joy. youtu.be/Hu56oi8ui84?...

I like how clearly this doctor spells out what we should be eating. www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/202...

Saw a Hobby Lobby ad with the tagline, "Christmas is what you make of it." For a boisterous Christian corporation this appears as if they've forgotten the true reason for Christmas in this promotion.

Cincinnati Zoo getting some good PR TV time during the NFL broadcast. Cheetah cubs looking cute.

I have now lost 70 lb in my weight loss journey. Hard to believe there was even that much to need to lose.

Now that college football can spend $30-$40 million on their team, suddenly Alabama isn't as special. Texas Tech hasn't won their conference until they spend $45 million. All that higher learning is paying off for someone.

Tonight's NBA Cup action in Las Vegas was sensational! Both games were so high quality. Especially with the Spurs beating the Thunder. Just amazing shots and defense. Who's gonna win Tuesday?

I really like this song and the message. I think you should have a listen.

Long live MTV of the '80s and early '90s.

RIP Frank Gehry. Your buildings delighted and made me think. #frankgehry #notgary

Everyone's talking about Rubber Soul today, and they should. It's one of the best works of art! Writing, performing, engineering...all of it was breaking new ground.

Looking at SCOTUS, all the state gerrymandering, the forced executive orders...I'm amazed how outraged conservatives were about the so-called deep state.

BREAKING: WELL, WELL, WELL! Newly unearthed footage shows Pete Hegseth saying EXACTLY what the six Democrats said in their video that prompted Trump and Hegseth to hysterically smear them as traitors! You must refuse illegal orders.

Pretty sad this has to be a topic of discussion.

I'm diggin this new Crooked Fingers song. youtu.be/Zq2OkqbE2xE?...

As it is starting to flurry in Cincinnati, I'm listening to Alice's Restaurant this Thanksgiving. The drive to family got a good story.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. Even in times of trouble there's something to be thankful for.

This is the way

Vance... showing his Appalachian roots... not.

Good gravy
