The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, starring Ronald Howard.
The series is faithful to the spirit of the Canon, yet has a delightfully tongue-in-cheek sense of humor.
I’m watching it on Tubi, but you can likely find it elsewhere.

An Episode of Epidemiology 0
Dion Lefler reports that, in the past, he has been accused of suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS for short).
He writes at the Kansas City Star that he has spotted a new variant of TDS characterized by the following symptoms:
- You think you’ll be healthier after Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s through with you.
- You accept things that would make your head explode if a Democrat did them.
- You believe raising taxes on imported goods and mass-deporting fruit pickers and meat cutters will bring prices down.

Signs of the Fall 0
I seldom look at the sport section of my local rag (except to read Bob Molinaro’s column, because he is a fine writer with a sharp pen and a wicked sense of humor). Even when I paid much more attention to sports than I do now, I was more interesting in watching competitions than in reading about them.
Nevertheless, as I leafed through the sports section on the way to the agony columns in yesterday’s paper (yes, paper, not electrons), something caught my eye.
My local rag now carries a syndicated column methinks no doubt subtly designed to suck people into covering sports betting.
We are a broken society.
