Glad to see more information on the Citadel stuff. Hazy memories of women roughly my age trying to subject themselves to what I kinda viewed as unnecessary hazing. I had an AFROTC scholarship, but my vision issues were already showing (MS is such a neat condition!), which precluded me from flying.
My experiences, along with my parents’ make the discussions of what the Trump admin are doing with Higher Ed/DEI incredibly frustrating. I didn’t grow up as a child of privilege. My parents were the first in their families to attend college. I’m not anywhere as White as Senator Warren. I have two disabilities as listed in the 1990 ADA (MS, and OCD….which is related….rumination to compensate for MS physical symptoms), and under the DEI efforts of Obama and Biden, I’m just a blue-eyed guy who started on third base.
Thanks for the Walkout selection Matt. I share your review of the Billy HBO doc. Have always been a fan--especially of the Turnstiles album, as well as a defender of his talents as a songwriter and storyteller. The guy has taken way too much 💩over the years, and the doc was a bracing reminder that his overall output was exceptional, especially given the multiple demons he was (and undoubtedly still is) bravely battling.
Re: Cooperstown, come to think of it it was the last post but RIP Ryne Sandberg. He died last week at age 65 from cancer; I would’ve never known, despite him and Andre Dawson being my favorite players growing up, because the only sports news in my feed is offseason NFL and the fucking WNBA. Fortunately an old friend I talk with a couple times a year gave me a heads up. Go Cubbies
I’m guessing the walkoff tease has to do with timing rather than content, but as a certified Fifth-Column-music-chat enjoyer, I’d love for you guys to talk about Billy Joel. It’d be even better if you got him on. He and Moynihan are neighbours or something, right? Just pop on over.

Happy Birthday, Matt.
I was deeply disappointed that people didn't start naming their sons Maximus after Gladiator came out. Such a great film.
Watching Gladiator with television edits does NOT hold up
False!
Imagine telling your kids and grandkids that the whole internet melted down over your tits… I feel for Sydney.
