Sunday Sundown Rundown - 9/22/24


3 Up

1. Shohei Ohtani - Unbelievably, special. Yup, Shohei locked in a 50-50 season - first to ever do it. But you know what, he might have had the single most impressive game in the history of baseball. I'll leave that up to debate - regardless, the man is box office. 

2. Teen Instagram Profiles - It's a small change, but I'll give Meta it's due for even going this far. Enough evidence is available to explain why social media is harmful, especially to adolescents. Making their profiles private protects them from themselves, and from others. Win. 

3. Harvest Full Supermoon - Sometimes, the world is beautiful. Earth is wonderful. The Universe is a wonder. 

3 Down

1. Sean "Diddy" Combs - Man, oh man. The allegations and the evidence is piling up. And likely, a lifetime of some "stuff" is about to come out. Diddy's reputation is done for, but we're all wondering, who else is involved?

2. Pagers Explode - The situation is absolutely crazy. What is even worse is the thought that someone hack something - whatever that is - and actually explode our phones! 

3. Springfield, Ohio - Such a shame how politics has ruined a small town...and the people within it.
