The Sandlot is just nostalgic for any baseball fan of a certain age.  Space Jam is similar.  Both really bad movies that hit some nostalgic soft spot at a certain time.

I love them both, but neither are good.
Little Big League is that movie for me. That and the Major League movies and Mr. Baseball were being released at that time so if you were above a certain age, there was no reason to mess with the Sandlot.

Yeah Major League is a classic

(not exactly a spicy, controversial take, sorry)

Believe it or not I watched LBL not that long ago - that one's actually solid.

It ends when the main player guy almost takes Randy Johnson yard but Griffey robs him.  Great stuff.

I think you're older than me though.  I was a child when Sandlot came out, and was the target audience.

Little Big League was pretty good, other than Timothy Busfield not really believable as a pro baseball player.

No spicy Afghanistan takes?

Would charging Americans $2K for a flight out on a plane fueled with jet fuel bought from the Taliban be spicy ?

I'm not sure that is a "take" per se.

Truth bombs for you snowflakes.

“The booster is supposed to alleviate this, but how many boosters? One every six months? Every three months? Weekly?

Which variant will it prevent—the Delta, the Lambda, the Delphic Oracle ?

No matter. According to three extraordinary—and brave under the circumstances—doctor/ scientists whose briefing for some members of the Tennessee legislature I attended via Zoom Wednesday morning, the Pfizer booster, at least, does not even work for the Delta variant.

Reason: The Pfizer booster is just more of the exact same vaccine that people took in the first place and was never designed for Delta, which did not exist at the time.

But… but…but…what if one is invented for Delta? Well, the gentlemen said, it would be pointless. The Delta variant itself will be gone in roughly a month and a half, moving on to the next one, Lambda and so forth, as viral variants almost always do.

So what to do if we abjure the essentially useless vaccine? (They cited Israel, where nearly everyone is vaccinated, and the country is in the midst of a renewed epidemic.)

Make sure to take plenty of vitamin D and C and zinc daily. Have either hydroxychloroquine (Trump was right about this one, the vaccines not so much) or ivermectin on hand and a doctor who can instruct you on the protocols, maybe get you a monoclonal infusion or some Regeneron if you should contract COVID-19.

Time is the most important thing to beat the disease. If you have symptoms, get tested immediately and, if positive, begin treatment as soon as possible. If you react quickly, you will almost always be okay and avoid the much talked-about “long-haul COVID.”

As for masks, they pointed to Japan where 98 percent of the population wears them and the pandemic is as widespread as anywhere else. (Don’t tell that to esteemed Nobelist in medicine NY Mayor—for now— Bill de Blasio.

And who were these doctor/scientists whose advice runs counter to the CDC, Anthony Fauci, and our president?

Kooky conspiracy theorists and professional naysayers?

One was Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the core technology behind mRNA vaccines. (How could he know anything?) A fascinating talk on his discovery by Dr. Malone reveals how, and how long ago, it happened.

The other was Dr. Ryan Cole, a dermapathologist from Boise who advocates for an individual’s right to decide what he/she puts in their body, just like we did in the sixties (“Our body, our selves.”)

The third was Dr. Peter McCollough, one of the most renowned cardiologists and epidemiologists in the world at the Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas and called, with Dr. Cole, one of the Paul Reveres of our time.

You can listen to his testimony before the Texas Committee on Health and Human Services. It told me more about COVID and its treatment than I have ever learned from Dr. Fauci or from anyone else for that matter.

Not surprisingly, all three of these gentlemen are under constant attack by the traditional (read: governmental) medical establishment. McCollough is even being sued by Baylor, his alma mater, in an attack on scientific free speech by the university reminiscent of Galileo and the medieval church.

The doctor had an interesting answer about how his colleagues reacted to his apostasy, even though it was governed by patient research and the data.

He said he saw fear in their eyes, fear that he might be right.

This reaction tracks with what I, and I would imagine many others, have experienced over the last few years in their relations—work, friends and family—in any number of areas of social and professional life.

There’s good reason Tucker Carlson says at the end of his nightly show he is the enemy of “conformity and groupthink.”

We all should be.

Stay healthy.“

Well, that would mean active combat would be possible.

Saw some article out there where there are a bunch of scientists saying the booster is unnecessary unless you are immunocompromised or have HIV etc as people who are vaxxed are not currently experiencing severe symptoms if there are breakthrough infections. Go Google the link yourselves,  Big10Men.

Most of them aren't. The ones who died of COVID were unavailable for comment.

My sister the pulmonologist said (a month ago) that 50 fully vaxxed people in Britain had coughed their last. Eric Topol shared a graph last week that showed a 562-to-13 ratio of unvaxxed to vaxxed in San Diego hospitals A lot of people thought that was great news and called the pandemic over.

That's THIRTEEN FUCKING PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL. In one goddamn city

I know quite a few people who've had breakthrough infections & felt like shit for a few days. One still can't smell anything.

The reason some scientists are fighting a third jab is not that a third jab won't help. It's because they want jabs to go to the unjabbed first. Like, in other countries.

I tried. Just too long.
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.
