@BenPopeCST Trade the pick.

Kyle Davidson: "We're going to get a really good player. We just have to wait and see who's on the board. There's a little more uncertainty there." He said there's "five or six" prospects in the mix. He also said he would be willing to consider trading the pick.

@CHGO_Blackhawks Trade

Should the Blackhawks DRAFT OR TRADE the 4th overall pick in the 2026 draft?👀⬇️

@BlackhawksFocus Trade the pick. They need veteran help.

OFFICIAL: #Blackhawks fall in lottery, will select No. 4 overall. Thoughts/takeaways?

@chifanpatt2 Trade the pick.

Damnit.

@BenPopeCST @DaveKerner Trade the pick.

Sharks get the #2 pick. Blackhawks fall to #4.

It doesn't get more '80s than Chunk from The Goonies performing Prince on Kids Incorporated.

@MattEurich Agreed. Bulls need a fresh start.

Nah, I'm good. I liked Thibs but bringing him back would be a total Bulls move.

Should the Bulls do this?

Still so awesome. John Williams is the master.

Words Tim Wakefield wrote in his phone before he passed away a few years ago. Posted shortly by his wife. Powerful words we should all live by.

Há oito anos, Cobra Kai chegou e fez algo raro: não apenas reviveu o universo de The Karate Kid, ela o ressignificou. O que começou como um retorno nostálgico rapidamente se tornou uma das produções mais marcantes e queridas já feitas. Trouxe profundidade aos antigos rivais, transformou heróis em seres humanos falhos e nos lembrou que toda história tem mais de um lado. Nós rimos, vibramos, sentimos cada golpe e cada ensinamento. Ver Johnny Lawrence e Daniel LaRusso juntos novamente não foi apenas fan service, foi história sendo reescrita da melhor forma possível. Cobra Kai nos fez amar ainda mais um universo que achávamos já conhecer. Agora que acabou, o que fica é uma saudade profunda. O silêncio que restou é alto, preenchido por memórias de lutas épicas, frases inesquecíveis e momentos que levaremos para sempre. Isso não foi apenas uma série, foi uma jornada que conectou gerações. E mesmo com toda essa nostalgia, a esperança continua viva. Porque histórias assim não acabam de verdade. Elas evoluem, retornam, surpreendem quando menos esperamos. Sony Pictures e Netflix, os fãs estão prontos. Estamos esperando. Esse universo ainda tem muito a oferecer, e estamos prontos para o próximo capítulo.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States for the seventh time won the war that wasn’t a war, so the United States can open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the not war. The not war that started to get the uranium that was completely obliterated, so that the Iranians can’t build the nuclear bomb that they weren’t building for the not war that the United States started. Then the United States which has nuclear weapons threatening to use nuclear weapons to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons because having nuclear weapons is dangerous. If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

The MAGA crowd in Washington has decided that since Europeans don’t sufficiently appreciate Trump, the American bases on the continent must go. This is the strategic reasoning of a man who burns down his own kitchen. American bases in Europe were never a favour. They are the logistical spine of every war the United States fights east of Gibraltar. Ramstein moves the cargo, Aviano launches the jets, Rota services the ships. Without them the Pentagon does not project power into the Middle East. It projects PowerPoint. The fantasy assumes the alternative is aircraft carriers gliding majestically into the Persian Gulf. That era is ending. A modern carrier is a thirteen-billion-dollar trophy that can be reduced to scrap by a couple of hundred cheap missiles fired from the Iranian coast. China noticed. The other fantasy is that America simply fights from home. Picture the alternative: twenty thousand transatlantic sorties shuttling spare parts, munitions, fuel bladders, mechanics and replacement pilots from Norfolk and Dover to wherever the war happens to be. A C-17 burns through roughly 35,000 dollars of fuel every hour it flies, and the round trip from the American east coast to the Gulf is the better part of a day. Multiply that by every bolt, every missile, every spare engine. The war becomes a sustained airborne traffic jam with the bill arriving by the second. So you need land, specifically land near the war. Modern combat aircraft are not Spitfires you fuel up and send off with a wave. An F-35 demands an entire Walmart of spare parts, a small city of technicians, climate-controlled hangars and a supply chain stretching halfway round the planet. Drones need operators, networks, satellites and a steady diet of components no carrier can store. Modern war arrives by container ship and lives in a warehouse. Close the bases, and Washington loses the warehouses. Lose the warehouses, and the next confrontation with Iran is either fought by phone or fought from Kansas with a flight schedule that bankrupts the Treasury before the first missile lands. MAGA thinks shutting Ramstein punishes Europe. It punishes America. Europe will be inconvenienced. America will be unarmed. And so, after a thousand insults, a thousand sneers, a thousand late-night posts about freeloading allies, Europe is quietly drafting the politest letter in diplomatic history. It thanks America for its service. It wishes the troops a safe journey home. It suggests, with great warmth, that Washington might now turn its attention to its neighbours in Latin America, where a fading superpower can busy itself with whatever a fading superpower busies itself with. Spain had its century. Britain had its empire. The Soviets had their parades. Each ended the same way: as a shadow of itself, with the historians left to argue, volume after volume, about precisely when the rot set in and why nobody noticed in time. America is welcome to join them on the shelf.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ If you like what you read, please follow Gandalv on Substack: @gandalv" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@gandalv

Wow. Impressed my friend. Would LOVE a behind the scenes pic from “Memphis Belle”, if you’re able to share. After I grabbed my vhs copy, I must have watched that movie every day for over two weeks. Such a wonderful story.
