I wonder if the sun was in his eyes?

The Depp Trial
I haven’t posted anything about it, and I’ve been dismayed at how much media coverage there has been on it, but Jonathan Turley makes an interesting point about the decline of the ACLU. It would be great to see her sue it and the WaPo to get the money she needs to pay Depp.

Thoughts from Rod Dreher on the implications for our current society and the lies of the Left.

The Tour Of Starbase
Roger Angell
A great writer about baseball (perhaps the greatest) has left us.
This is a beautiful piece he wrote on aging eight years ago.
Elon Musk
Why the Left hates him.
Alien Invasions
How do we stop them?
And no, not talking about the southern border; that one’s easy to stop. They just don’t want to.
NASA’s Artemis Branding Problem
This doesn’t really surprise me. I’m not inspired by Artemis. I still consider it the Lady Ghostbusters of Apollo.
Yesterday’s Derby
I’m not a big fan of horse racing, but we did watch the race itself, and as described here, it was amazing.
Fake News
Megan Fox is asking the important questions about Kim Kardashian in Marilyn Monroe’s dress.
The Tigers Game
No (or little) posting today because we went out to breakfast, then when we got back I discovered that the Tigers were playing the Dodgers today (about half an hour before game start).
Even though we were going to miss the first two or three innings, we decided to go, because how often does Detroit play LA, and we’re getting old?
The good news is that we didn’t miss much Detroit action in the early innings, because there was none. The bad news is that there was a lot of LA action early. The other good news is that we did get to see Detroit get two homers and a double to right field toward the end. The other bad news is that it wasn’t enough.
But it was good, anyway, because it was great baseball weather, and really Dodgers Stadium is one of the best parks in either league, in terms of the views from the upper deck. Panoramic from Griffith Park, to downtown, to the ocean (though it was a little too marine layery to see much to the west).
