Postponed video for Paris Olympics
Jul. 26th, 2024 12:20 pmI thought it was too early to share this video at Crazy Eddie's Motie News, so I decided to post Vox asks 'Can Paris fix its poop problem before the Olympics?'
...CityNerd declares 'Music is urbanist' and lists the top ten music cities. I can now close the tab.
I didn't use the following image in Emmy nominees and winners at the Super Bowl — commercials and halftime show because it didn't list the award won, Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special, although it did show the winners.

Reminder to self
Jul. 24th, 2023 11:20 pmYahoo News: DNA Test Proves Ex-Wrestler Not Lauren Boebert’s Father. Darn. That was fun while it lasted, but out of consideration for Stan Lane, I'm done with this.
Video cut for time from SOTU Address post
Feb. 10th, 2023 06:52 pmI didn't include the following video in either Closer looks at the State of the Union Address from Seth Meyers, Tooning Out the News, and FiveThirtyEight or 'The Daily Show,' Seth Meyers, and James Corden take more closer looks at the State of the Union and Twitter hearings because I didn't see it in time and because it wasn't pointed enough. However, I enjoyed the News Smash segment, which is new since the last time I watched the Tonight Show.
While funny, it didn't fit the current events theme for 'SNL' searches for comedy in classified documents.

Army Spirit Band for Veterans Day
Nov. 11th, 2022 01:50 pmI ran into the Army Spirit Band's drum line while compiling A musical Veterans Day 2022 with 'The Commandant's Own,' the Army and Navy drum lines, and Marine Band San Diego, so I decided to see what the whole band looked and sounded like.

Rejected video for Simone Biles post
Dec. 15th, 2021 06:51 pmI decided against using the following video in Simone Biles is Time Magazine's Athlete of the Year because it didn't feature Biles. Too bad, as it came from a Detroit source.
I cut the following passage out of 9/11 memorials on the 20th anniversary because the NFL blocked the video from embedding. It went where the ellipsis is.
"Listening to Michael Arad talk about the placement of names to increase their significance to survivors reminds me of the first time I saw all the names displayed publicly as the backdrop to U2 Superbowl 36 halftime performance where the streets have no name...To this day, this is one of my favorite Super Bowl Halftime Shows and a welcome relief from the trend for more spectacle, even if it leads to Emmy Awards and nominations."

My favorite comment about Canadians
Feb. 6th, 2021 04:17 pmAnyone who thinks Canadians are such nice, polite people has never seen them at a hockey game.
(My apologies if I've posted this here before, but I looked under all the tags I used and couldn't find it.)

Abandoned video for renaming mascots post
Dec. 22nd, 2020 04:56 pmI could have used this video for 'SNL,' Cleveland.com, and John Oliver on pro sports teams dropping offensive Native American names and mascots, but I decided I had enough material already. Maybe for a followup.
Learn about the use of Native American mascots in sports and the Not Your Mascot movement.

America is famous for its sports franchises and rabid fans at both the pro and collegiate levels. However, there is one group of Americans for whom sports are a painful memory. On a daily basis, they are reminded of their people's tragic history. These are the original Americans, the Native Americans. Some people are trying to put an end to the last vestiges of racial stereotyping and denigration in US sports. This documentary takes a closer look at the Native American mascot debate and the use of racist mascots in sports.
Aviva Kempner is the award-winning director of successful docs like "The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg" and "Yoo-Hoo Mrs Goldberg." Kevin Blackistone is an award-winning national sports columnist. Together they are working to bring the documentary "Imagining the Indian" to the screen. We caught up recently with Aviva and Kevin from their homes in Washington DC.
"I've come to be opposed to all these names. The Not Your Mascot slogan is so true. People are not property of others, certainly when it is a culture that is being appropriated. We're supposed to be past that." - Kevin Blackistone

I didn't see the following video in time to include it in Time Magazine's Athlete and Entertainer of the Year for 2020 made a difference. Too bad, as it would have tied the two together better than I did.
