I would truly love to see this programming. I have no idea why networks like YES, Marquee and SNY are available to me on DirecTV even though I am out of their market but BravesVision isn't. DTV's customer service has proven less than worthless in providing answers.

We're BACK!

Beginning on Monday, November 2 at 6pm ET, fans can tune in throughout the offseason for a rotating lineup of Braves stories, memorable games, and programming available only on BravesVision!

No doubt. You will never find a better man to be president of the United States. Period. And he got a hell of a lot done in four years.

@jgd0600034 I'd cut Jordan just to get a shout out in his HOF speech.

Byrne's too short run on Cap is absolutely to be savored.

[•tr1stan⛷️ @nuel_irl]

Paul Atreides searched through countless possible futures in search of a path that would allow humanity to survive. He glimpsed the Golden Path, yet he could not bring himself to accept everything it demanded.

His son, Leto II, went where Paul would not. Among every future that could be seen, Leto recognized only one that would ultimately prevent humanity from destroying itself and falling into extinction. To walk that path, he had to become the very thing people would fear and hate: a tyrant, a monster, a god-emperor who would rule over humanity for thousands of years

That is the tragedy at the heart of the Golden Path. Leto II did not choose tyranny because he believed it was good. He chose it because he saw no other future in which humanity endured. By controlling humanity so completely, he gradually forged an overwhelming hunger for freedom,exploration, and independence. After his death, that hunger drove humanity to scatter across the universe, becoming too widespread, too diverse, and too unpredictable ever again to be controlled or annihilated by any single power.

So Dune is not, at its core, a story about the noble Atreides and the wicked Harkonnens. Frank Herbert poses a far more unsettling question: what if the only path to humanity’s long-term survival required someone to become a monster? And what if saving humanity first meant forcing it to change?!??

Led Zeppelin and Led Zeppelin II both came out the same calendar year. That is mind boggling.

Abraxas is an improvement over the quite excellent Santana.

Whose second album was just as good as, if not better than, their first?

It’s been said that, “you have your whole life to write your first album and only six months to write your second”.

Chris Sale’s stats among starters since joining the Braves don’t even look real:

Strikeout Rate: 31.7% (1st)
K-minus-walk-rate: 26.2% (2nd)
Pitching run value: +88 (3rd)
WHIP: 1.02 (7th)

Remember and honor Andrew Goodman, James Chaney and Michael Schwerner and the price they paid when they were murdered for voting rights in Mississippi, 1964:

@mecalnan Also true of the regular issue. As overproduced as it was, it's not that easy to come up with truly Mint examples.

I love that set. Sue me.

The 1988 Donruss Baseball’s Best series may be the ugliest design of the 80s.

The gaudy, orange border is next level obnoxious.

But the accidental almost color match on the Eddie Murray card makes it all kinda work.

The Emperor could have ordered Duke Leto Atreides killed, but that would have been one of the most dangerous political mistakes he could make.

And this is something many people overlook about the world Frank Herbert created.

Shaddam IV wasn’t ruling an empire where he could simply execute any noble who threatened his position. The Great Houses had their own armies, wealth and political influence, and they were united through the Landsraad.

If the Emperor openly used his Sardaukar to destroy House Atreides, the other Great Houses could have seen it as a declaration of war against every noble family in the Imperium.

And that was exactly what Shaddam wanted to avoid.

So instead, he turned an imperial assassination into what appeared to be an old feud between two rival Houses.

He arranged for Leto to be transferred from Caladan to Arrakis, knowing the Harkonnens would see the opportunity to destroy their oldest enemy.

But the most important detail was the Sardaukar.

Shaddam secretly supplied the Baron with his own elite Imperial soldiers, disguised in Harkonnen uniforms. That way, the Emperor could help wipe out the Atreides while maintaining plausible deniability.

Even Leto’s honour worked against him. Refusing the Emperor’s order to take Arrakis would have damaged his standing among the Great Houses.

The Emperor wasn’t simply trying to kill a rival. He was trying to eliminate a growing political threat without giving the entire Imperium a reason to turn against him.

And the irony is that his elaborate plan created the very enemy who would eventually take his throne.

Shaddam wanted to destroy House Atreides quietly. Instead, he helped create Paul Muad’Dib.

“Obliiiige him” delivered while walking away is such a savage line so well delivered. Brad Pitt at his best. The knocking and shot of the empty tunnel gives real Jaws vibes; you’re terrified of something you haven’t seen, only heard about. Great scene in a great movie
