Mask Mandate Over for Public Transportation

Turns out common sense is coming back. I fly again next week. Looking forward to forgetting my mask again and not worrying about it.

400 Days Alcohol Free!!!

400 days alcohol free!!! I’m proud of myself!
I feel good. 405 days ago, my back and insides were in severe pain. Waking up everyday to yack and heave over the toilet. 12+ drinks a day for as long as I can’t remember. I had a deep self reflection. I'm walking in circles here (quit, try to moderate, back to full blown drinking etc). I'm too young at 31 for such a severe drinking problem. I'm not totally sober, I still use cannabis and take antianxiety meds, but alcohol was my only problem child...and it's gone.

Here's to many more booze free days.

Mental disability is not a superpower


Here are deBoer's further thoughts on the matter that link into, I think, other areas of SJW thinking:

There are 17 theses here. Here is #17:

17. The collapse of the meaning of disability, driven by social media communities and the social climbers among them, represents the general drift of all culture in the digital era - excuse-making for narcissism and selfishness, a relentless focus on the interests of the individual above and beyond the interests of all, endlessly splitting society into chunks of the righteous minority and the stupid and undeserving majority, the gentrification of communicative spaces towards the interests of the most savvy and nakedly self-centered, the mandated bright-siding that insists that any condition the individual cannot change is therefore good, the rejection of the notion of human tragedy and the unchangeable brokenness of human life, and the injunction against ever suggesting that there are others who suffer more than you do and should not be included in your trite definitions of the shared condition.

This is the stuff of “marginalized” cultures, now. An affluent 17-year-old who has never been involuntarily committed, has never seriously physically harmed themselves or others, who has never had their shoelaces taken at the door of a mental hospital or been doubled over in stomach pain from meds, who knows nothing of the immense human destruction that can be found in any mental institution, taking to TikTok to make yet another list of the ways people with ADHD are better than those without and, in so doing, saying “this is it, look on me, mine is the face of mental illness, I am the face of disability.” That is our future.

DeBoer is not a right-wing reactionary or Republican agent: he's an avowed, old-school Marxist.

Flopping......

I suppose this has been beat to death here, but I will tell you this. The flopping BS is ruining the game.

We had a guy from Ohio really "fake" catching an elbow. Much like during the Louisville game with UK. It wasn't called, which is good, but I think that if a player obviously flops or fakes catching an elbow, then that team should get a Technical and the PLAYER should be hit with a flagrant 1 type foul.

This crap is ruining the game, and a couple key technical calls would end it quickly.

Later,

Geo
