3 Up
1. Israel and Hamas Ceasefire Agreement - This seems like a pretty big deal considering all of the layers that come with this conflict. Ending this peacefully is of the utmost importance.
2. Bob Uecker - Legend. I'll forever remember Uecker for his role in the Major League movies. In some ways, baseball would be awesome if we had more announcers like him. Except, you realize the dude was one of a kind.
3. MLK Weekend - The weekend is always reflective of how far we've come. It has a different vibe this year, but is still salient for us all to realize.
3 Down
1. Home Insurance - It's a shame how insurance companies are finding their way out of coverage for floods, fires, and other natural disasters. Especially after the recent fires in LA, home insurance coverage has to be examined further
2. Extreme Weather - Some crazy things are happening all over the Globe. Have been for a while.
3. Meta Changes - Well, as the Presidential administration changes, we're seeing Big Tech follow suit. One of those is Meta suddenly going the "free speech" route by electing to forgo fact-checking and reducing limits and supervision of hate speech. That's a thumbs down from me, dawg. Awful.
