Two brothers in arms

Pupdate: Rick posted this photo with his dog Abel today. He is filling our paperwork needed before his homecoming. Abel is this close.@USMarineCorps let these two brothers in arms come home to Colorado together. Their service as soldiers has been with each other, for all of us.

And while I'm at it, a movie recommendation (tissue warning):

Oh, snap! Big Gretch (Governor Whitmer) for the win:

He called me names early on and I sent him a cake, says @GovWhitmer of @SenMikeShirkey. "Hopefully his emotions will stop getting the better of him."

John Krasinski's 'Some Good News' Sells to ViacomCBS Following Massive Bidding War



John Krasinski's Some Good News is on the move.

Following a massive bidding war, the feel-good web series has been licensed to ViacomCBS in a rich deal.

CBS All Access, which will be rebranded this summer and bolstered with more originals from across the ViacomCBS portfolio, will have the first window for the new episodes before they move to a number of the company's linear networks. While Krasinski will continue to be involved as an executive producer, he will not host the new episodes. A new host will be named at a later date, though Krasinski will have some sort of on-air presence. It's yet to be determined which of the ViacomCBS platforms will have the second window for new SGN episodes and whether the broadcast network will be involved. In addition to the new episodes, other shortform content that will live within the ViacomCBS fold will also be produced.

"Could not be more excited and proud to be partnering with CBS/Viacom to be able to bring Some Good News to so many more people!" Krasinski said Thursday in a statement. "From the first episode, our goal was to create a news show dedicated entirely to good news. Never did I expect to be joining the ranks of such a historic news organization as CBS."

I know a person has the right to make a buck off of their own labor, but I feel disappointed. This show was a little light in a time of darkness.. this move takes the shine off.
