SONNY BUNCH: ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Review.
🚨OVERTIME 🚨As you may have seen… JVL unlocked last night’s TNB for non-members, because it was a really important and raw discussion on America and guns. I spent the night at a rented house in Saint Louis while my wife and girls were out getting ice cream, policing the comments. Rarely do I ever have to do any policing, because our subscribers are awesome, and last night was no exception. You won’t get the full experience of the live comments, but I hope you’ll give it a watch to see what TNB is all about. ICYMI: Charlie Sykes was on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal this morning. Somewhere along I-70 in Indiana—Contra Horace Greeley, we are going East, navigating some thick Midwestern storms. Apparently there are tornado watches in D.C., which is sort of rare! Stay safe out there. Assuming we make it to our overnight destination safely and on time, the Blues will face off against the Avalanche in a must-win Game 6. Hopefully they’ll do well, and I’ll be able to watch it. I have my doubts. I don’t have a bunch of curated links for you today, as we’re on the road and the internet is spotty. I trust our offerings up top will suffice. Yesterday, I was able to to show my daughters my alma mater (via car) and in good news, my former place of employment, Humphrey’s, a bar and restaurant across the street from campus, is being renovated in advance of an eventual reopening. Nature is healing. I got to go in, and it was like I was dipped in magic waters. I had avoided going by every time we were in town because I didn’t want to be sad. But as bad as things are, and like JVL, I am a bit of a pessimist, there are things that can brighten your day, little things in the big scheme of life. Have a great weekend. That’s it for me.
