I suppose people will have various conversations over the evening, but it seems like time to put up an initial thread. I rarely watch any of this stuff and I wouldn’t have watched last night except that my wife called me out of the dungeon to view some of it with her. This was right about when Kathy Hochul came on and…..my god she is so bad at all of this. But then came the Steve Kerr/Shawn Fain/Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trio, all of which I was glad to see. Good for Kerr as well, it’s not easy for sports figures to be openly liberal in this country and so few of the white ones really are. But both he and Gregg Popovich have long been great leaders on these issues, speaking a lot of truths that you don’t hear from white football and baseball coaches. I mentioned Fain and AOC last night, but feel free to discuss more if you want.

I had almost forgotten about the tan suit “incident” from the Obama years, so Harris trolling the media a bit with her own was good stuff.
