UpRoxx – Megan Armstrong – Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour’ Movie Will Have Merch For Fans To Buy At AMC And Cinemark Theaters

Phil spoke to a young lady who had purchased her ticket to see the movie and also a popcorn bucket and collector cup for $52.50 total including GST. Someplace somewhere B Wayne Hughes is grinning from ear to ear.

Phil has a question:

Does the $52.50 include popcorn and a beverage or is that extra.

Los Angeles Times – Torivio Fodder – Opinion: The true crime story of the Osage Nation would take a century to tell

Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. One thing we know: our god is also your god. The earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.

The Score – Donald Higney – Harden wanted to retire a Sixer, says front office had different plans

Phil has a question:

Who do you trust – Morey or Harden.

Would you want Harden on your team for a deep playoff run in the NBA.

Could the 76ers  do all NBA fans a favour and cut that fucking lying whiny bastard.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

Phil’s reprising:

“I’m saying this bittersweetly: I’m one of the last ones to stand,” Mr. Drape said.

He continues a rich tradition at The Times. Horse racing was a field for the literary sports writing of Red Smith, Steve Cady and Joe Durso, Mr. Drape’s immediate predecessor. The sport doesn’t hold the cultural currency it once did, but the subjects Mr. Drape reports on, such as horse deaths and doping offenses, have relevance beyond the track.
