I try to enjoy Sean Murphy's stories. The major issue is that other than overt, not institutional, bigotry I infer they are written in the perspective of a rational centrist.

Gas in 2008 adjusted for inflation was $7/gallon on average. I remember driving up to 40 on tje same road as my gym that summer then putting the car in neutral and coasting the last 1.5 km. Apply clutch to bleed speed, release, brake, release brake, clutch, park. With hindsight cycling was smarter.

My aunts kept saying I am getting darker and I sssumrd it was colorism manifesting as they age. Now they my skin is recovering from years rubbish I am two shades lighter and there were right. I am not even Fenty 400+ anymore.

I stopped using Microsoft Office when I made a gaming PC then needed to write a paper. Microsoft asked for money and Libreoffice said this is free. Needed Photoshop and GIMP was free. Eventually switched to Linux and that was the end of paying for programs other then donations.

I still use every one of those things regularly. They are not prohibitively expensive. Except storage due to LLMs.

Humanity should have two new holidays. Independence from the British day and a day to to commemorate the victims of the CIA and the military of the United States of America.

My most Nigerian trait: I think I an extremely amenable. People regularly tell me I am the most stubborn man in the world. Nigerian women say it, so I know it is true. Alas.

Once while swimming a white woman swam into me after entering the lane unannounced, my sets last up to 100 laps in an Olympic pool, the then grabs my ankle end chastises me. Then reported me to the lifeguards after I switched lanes to maintain composure.

My unscientific study while running is that White women are least likely to stop when I am about to cross them in traffic. Black and Hispanic brown women are most likely followed by Black men. White men are about average Hispanic men are below them. South Asian women are worse than then men.

Although patriarchy predates capitalism the latter needs the former. In Yorubaland there is a position called Iya Oloja. Direct translation is "Market mommy" true meaning is "Head of the market". There is no baba oloja, no olu (lord/god) oloja. In Igboland there was 'political' lesbianism.

I have given up on people reading books. They do not even read short posts on social media properly.
