So, we’re standing down from both The BradCast and Green News Report until after the new year for a much needed brain break — for a brain that is breaking. But, if time allows — or, more truthfully, my brain allows — we’ll try to have a week or two of Sunday Toons before then. Of course, I’ve also been known, from time to time, to get up a head of steam during one of these breaks to blog something or other when I should be standing down and looking the other way instead. So, we’ll see…
In any event, in case I succeed in standing down as my doctors and family would prefer over the next coupla weeks, I want to wish everyone here a very merry holiday, somehow, and even a happy new year, if possible.
Rest assured that, when we return to close out our 22nd year of The BRAD BLOG next month, we will continue as we began more than 20 years ago. Meaning, unlike some other news outlets you may have heard about lately, we will never “Bari” a story that needs to be told here. We have neither corporate sponsors nor political allegiances nor deranged, thin-skinned White House occupants to protect. We are, and always have been, accountable only to readers and listeners. While that has kept us somewhat farther below the national radar than I believe we should be, it has also meant that what we report, what we say, and what we share with you is based only on what we believe you need to know about. No one, other than us, dictates what we cover. We hate dictators, and will never bend a knee to them.
I have some hopes for finally taking care of some much-needed, long-overdue system upgrades and redesigns in the new year, if the gods are with me. But, everything that we do is supported only by those of you kind enough to hit our DONATE page or use any of the donate forms you may see on this page. Please keep us in mind for your end-of-year giving, if possible, and we will otherwise be back to full steam in early 2026…
Thanks for all! Happy Holidays! And we’ll be back (too) soon!… — Brad
If Trump told Weiss to cut the story, this would be a First Amendment free press violation.
Brad, have a small dose of cheer because the supremes told the trumposphere to take the ice cubes home … IOW to freeze on the planned Chicago invasion (Supreme Court Upholds Block to Trump’s Chicago Military Takeover).
PS we are with you on the “we’ll try to have a week or two of Sunday Toons” all in honor of “His Orangeness the First” and Second (The Shapeshifters of Bullshitistan – 2);
PS congrats on the 20th anniversary!
Enjoy the holidays, and thanks for all the great work you’ve done over all these years of total frustration.
I was just watching Dead Boyz Can’t Fly and really loved your performance, then followed IMDB/Wiki here. Just wanted to say I’m a fan!
Hey, Eri! Thanks for dropping by and for the kind words. Apologies for the slow reply. (Been on a much-needed break). Glad ya found me. Though if you liked *that* film, I’m gonna have to keep a very close eye on you! 😉
