Next Draft - TnT is Da Bomb
There are plenty of reasons to be a little irritated with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Being forced by one's daughter to listen to nothing but Taylor to and from school every day for several semesters is one example. Your hometown football team facing Travis in the Super Bowl is another. But beyond these minor infractions, there's not much to complain about when it comes to TnT (Taylor 'n Travis). One could argue that no couple better represents conservative American values. She's a wholesome, talented, self-made billionaire who combines talent and remarkable business savvy. He's a sure thing first ballot Hall of Famer on one the best-ever teams in a sport that, according to viewership numbers, Americans love more than any other form of entertainment. So, even in this Eras era when pretty much nothing can still surprise it, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have managed to blow the last vestiges of right wing media sanity to smithereens. (I don't call them TnT for nothing). 2Internal Combustion"A century and a half ago, Confederate Gen. Joseph Orville Shelby splashed into the wild waters of the Rio Grande off this border city and fled to Mexico, refusing to surrender to Union soldiers. Now the park named in his honor has become a front line in a feud between the state and the federal government — a power struggle over who ultimately has the right to control the border and the tide of humanity trying to cross it." WaPo (Gift Article): Texas border city on edge as Gov. Abbott dials up battle with Biden. (It's not about solving the problem. It's about making the problem get more attention, even if that's best achieved by making the problem worse.) 3This Won't Even Sting"Their honey, which is runny enough to be drunk like a liquid and is said to have a citrusy aftertaste, is used by many Indigenous Peruvians as a natural medicine." And they're increasingly endangered which is a problem since they pollenate much of the Amazon. Oh, did I mention these bees are stingless? NYT (Gift Article): In Peru, a Mission to Save the Stingless Bee. 4Hawkeye Pierces Through"The 22-year-old senior has become such a household name that she's arguably the most famous athlete in all of college sports — a title few, if any, women have ever been able to claim." The great Caitlin Clark is in a league of her own. "Clark has 3,389 career points and is averaging 32.0 ppg, putting her about four games away from breaking Kelsey Plum's D-I women's record (3,527 points) and nine games away from breaking Pete Maravich's men's record (3,667)." But what she's done for attendance and attention could be even more impressive. 5Extra, ExtraResponse Ability: "President Joe Biden told reporters Tuesday he has made a decision about the US response to the drone strike that killed three US service members and injured dozens in Jordan." (The challenge: Show strength, deter future attacks, and don't let this war spread.) 6Bottom of the News"Legendary San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana had an unparalleled intuition as a football player. He had an uncanny knack for finding an open wide receiver at critical moments, even when facing a wall of incoming linebackers. Well, it looks like that intuition extends beyond the football field and into the wild world of legal weed." 49ers legend Joe Montana is winning the California legal weed market. (I'd like to try a super bowl of this stuff.) Read my 📕, Please Scream Inside Your Heart, or grab a 👕 in the Store. |
