Tip of the cap to SF Giants broadcaster on his final call today. Over 30 years of kruk and kuip on the radio…
Mike Krukow came to the Giants in 1983 when I was 22 years old, so in a lot of ways he’s been part of my Giants life for more than 40 years. I put the lyrics together for this song and asked Suno AI to create the music with kind of a Springsteen feel. I think they did a great job with it. so here’s my tribute to Kruk. player, broadcaster, storyteller, and just a huge part of what Giants baseball has meant to me all these years. forever Giant 🧡🖤 @SFGiants @NBCSGiants

“anti-racism required a two-tiered system, a sort of woke Jim Crow, in which separate standards were applied to white and nonwhite candidates. I came to see Bates College, self-styled beacon of progress, as an institution that was deeply, incorrigibly racist.” -Tyler a.Harper

A complete repudiation of dei by a left leaning professor, and McWhorter is right: this article deserves to be referenced and remembered.
This is utterly perfect and should stand forever as a go-to representation of a major problem with education in our era. It also happens to give a look-in at what I describe in my piece today about Arday. theatlantic.com/magazine/202…

"existentialism is nothing else but an attempt to draw the full conclusions from a consistently atheistic position." -jean paul sartre (marxist) existentialism is not just that existence precedes essence, but that there is no essence to humanity at all. just atheistic existence

Is the Jason Arday scandal just the tip of an enormous iceberg? How long would Arday have lasted at Cambridge if he were in the hard sciences (engineering/physics)?? a week? Sociology is partly to blame, because the scholarship in sociology is so low and the activism so high.
FYI, 4⃣ of the 5⃣ senior Cambridge people who signed the GLP petition supporting Jason Arday have now removed their names (Ijeoma Uchegbu, Sonita Alleyne, Simon Baron‑Cohen, and Ricardo Sabates Aysa). This just leaves Simon Woolley, though minus his Homerton affiliation... 🤔

NO!! Krukow and Kuip are the two best baseball commentators in the biz....huge loss for baseball!
Kruk & Kuip have been the soundtrack of my life, they are @SFGiants baseball. It won’t be the same without him but hopefully the Giants can get their head out of their ass soon, so he can come back and call a playoff game or 2 because he deserves it. WIN IT FOR KRUKOW!!!!

"The antisemitic eruptions on campus, and subsequent Congressional testimony of three elite university presidents who waffled on genocide, was probably the most important turning point in the history of American higher education.” -Dr. Jonathan Haidt (NYU social psychologist)
