We are both back, mostly. Things have been in an uproar. Still are. Living in the Brown Box Forest.  I am here this week, then WCW will be back next week.  Sometimes I think some adults are more like petulent children.  What do you think about the Scott Palley kerfluffle?  Don’t forget to support NPR and PBS.  We need them more than ever.  956 more days; check out the Presidential Term Countdown Clock.

Some WNBA fans think Caitlin Clark has been “found out” following a difficult start to her third season in the league. Others think she is being smeared. What do you think? “This season, it’s nearly impossible to watch a WNBA broadcast without being force-fed multiple ads that feature Clark. No matter who the Fever are playing, on-air commentators spend the bulk of their time focusing narrowly on Clark even when her teammates and peers are outperforming her,” writes Nicky Childers on BroBible.

Scott Pelley has a lot to say about his tenure and firing from 60 Minutes. So do Bill Maher and guests.

My reading list for June 2026

(is blank because I don’t have time to read and can’t find the books anyway! I’ve never said this before in my life…) If I had time, I would be reading American Patriarch: The Life of George Washington by H. W. Brands, also A Murder for Miss Hortense by Mel Pennant. And Kin by Tayari Jones  (which I started and had to stop). 

I do watch Bridgerton. I make time to watch it.

Every time I drive by the lines and grumbling mouths at my local Costco gas station, I bless the day I bought an EV. God works in mysterious ways.

James Cone and the Invention of Black Liberation Theology. Watch here.

Sometimes I eat egg salad for breakfast, and it is yum.  I use Miracle Whip (no need for vinegar), not Hellman’s.

RIP Peabo Bryson. 

 

Things have been busy. Very busy. I am sorry, my people, for getting too busy to sip tea with you.  I will be back in a week or so, but I am leaving you with a little sumptin’ sumptin’ for now.  965 more days.

Gratitude is in short supply. You’re actually doing better than most people right now if these 10 things are true for you:

• You have a roof over your head 
• You have clean water
• You ate something nourishing today
• (more)

Look at what melanin-challenged folks have discovered! For the recipe, go here.
