Capitalism sucks. Market socialism rules. Known to post about football, beer, flags, boardgames, rugby, dad shit, politics, lacrosse, and maps. I make lots of typos and won't apologize for it.

@profgabriele.com was curious what your take was on this post from a local Waldorf school. Def feels much much teaching the vibe than the history.

Why is Northern Ireland excluded? And on that note wouldn't that flag of Irish Rugby be more appropriate than the flag of the Republic?

The clearly fake history in the Book of Mormon. Horses, the wheel, steel swords, white people. All in pre-Columbia America.

There are age appropriate ways to talk about LGBT topics at any age. Like with any topic the conversation changes as the kid grows up.

If you think your child isn't old enough for any part of that conversation you're a shitty parent.

Big respect to this man's hater energy. The kind of thing we should all aspire to.

Hot take. More colleges should incorporate the school crest/academic logo into sports unis. Not all the time, but occasionally.

Hrm. That brings in the 40k universe as it's well established Event Horizon is part of that canon.

I like it.

Me working on a theory that The Expanse and K-Pop Demon Hunters are in the same universe because of similarities in songs from their scores.

I can tell kiddo 1 feels better and probably could've gone to school today because she's doing the exhausting stream of consciousness thing currently. It's both adorable and exhausting.

No dips at all? Chips and salsa? Ketchup for fries?

Do you ever dip a burger into ketchup or anything?

Why you hating on gravy? Gravy is delicious. More foods should have meat juice on them.

We did it gang. Kiddo 2 is down and I'm now going to crawl under a rock to die/poop my pants.

Maybe both.

Using my ingrained toxic masculinity for good by powering through kiddo 2's bedtime while the current stomach bug takes hold of my insides.

I promise I'm keeping the sighs and obvious discomfort to a minimum. Even if my wife says otherwise.

And of course right as I post this Warren Moon's coach in Houston in am interview says he has regret over not seeing or caring or acting on the abuse Moon took. Not quite the same, but still a good addition to the story.

It's been a while, so I don't remember all of it. Dude was contrite to my memory. But didn't hide from the past. Just a very much "this is how it was and what I felt".

This little doco would be much better served by that sort of interview.

Contrast this with The 16th Man about Mandela and the 95 Rugby World Cup. They get a guy talking about how he and his community saw the fall of apartheid as an insult and attack. Was he AWB? Maybe. Involved in the World Trade Center attack? Possibly. He admits to hating Mandela

I'm watching the Peacock series on Black QBs. And all the white talking heads are very much "this was embarrassing and wrong". There is yet to be anyone who supported the football color line in the NFL at the time. Even one who says they were wrong. Maybe they're all dead? IRK.

Happy to report I'm back on my bullshit.

Aka watching sports on my phone while nap trapped under kiddo 2.

Welp guess it's some aprochoyl nonsense. Good story though!

Didn't he also get dragged to SLC to get grilled by the first presidency for the soft pro-choice positions he took when running for governor of Mass? Or was that made up?

I'm way too proud of this joke I made to my wife texting about seeing a kid eating froyo before kiddo 1's swim lessons today. So of course I had to share it.

Doing the medal ceremony right after the game is such a beautiful punishment for the silver medal team. Like they just gotta chill while the winners celebrate.

I don't remember honestly. It's been a while since I've been there.

I've been solicited on multiple platforms to participate in this study. Ultimately I decided that something are just beat left unknown.

Snoop Dogg has really become every white boomer lady's one black friend. It's an amazing rebrand that I completely didn't see coming.

That was legit a cool experience for me because me and my nerd friends ran into our English teacher at the theatre. She'd taken the day off to watch the OG trilogy to "get ready".

Movie still sucks though.
