He/him/his. Proud husband, proud father, curious dude, concerned citizen, constant truth seeker. Not necessarily in that order. I do my best to be fair, but I can be arbitrary and capricious at times. Views are my own but could change as I seek truth.

Hammon stands by Brunson take but open to be 'proven wrong'
Aces coach Becky Hammon didn't completely back down from her assertion that a player of Jalen Brunson's stature could lead a team to an NBA title, saying Brunson will have to prove her wrong.

Interesting that no one has floated that if 🇮🇷 wants full control of H0rmuz and 🇷🇺 and/or 🇨🇳 agree to back it up, then any attempt at violent resolution by 🇺🇸 or 🇮🇱 would trigger WW3.

Just heard a radio interview with CBS' Steve Hartman. The man just won an Oscar. I mean this, solemnly and sincerely: Fvck that guy, so much. FVCK him. Absolute piece of sh!t. He acted like he didn't know what to do about sch00l sh00tings and just wanted the "sides" to come together and talk. GTFOH!

Not to be relentlessly negative, but let’s enjoy ourselves a bit. Who is the Dumbest Guy That Has A Reputation For Being Smart? Musk seems the clear winner, so let’s say: who else might be in the Top 10? I’ll start the proceedings with Ezra Klein, the Abundance boy. Not impressive!

‘Really magical’: Rare snow-white fawn spotted in Bay Area park
A snow-white fawn was seen grazing with three brown deer in an East Bay park. “It seemed right out of a fairy tale,” said the semi-professional wildlife photographer who spotted the fawn.

I'm thinking the tariffs on 🇨🇳 come down to 15% by mid-August. If so, you can bet on 3 things: (1) they'll call it a huge ("yuge") favor to 🇨🇳; (2) they'll blame Joe R. Biden for the economic carnage; (3) they'll say 🇨🇳 crawled on hands & knees "begging" for a "deal" and kissed the ground at DT's feet.

The 🇺🇲 vs. 🇨🇳 trade war is just a classic yt supremacist tantrum to try to put the "uppity" Chinese in their place. That's really, and simply, all it's about. I'm surprised people haven't been more vocal about what seems so obvious. And it's consistent with most US foreign policy of the last 200 yrs.

Field observation, as reflections on the "100 days start popping up: Most Americans can't believe, admit, or accept that they live under a d!ctatorship. Even those who specifically wanted and asked for the d!ctator they got. Turns out you're not "better than that" after all. And yes, that's on you.🤷🏾

This.
A quote from the writer AR Moxon from 2017. He wrote:

"Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after.
Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?"
