Only missing the Iraq war apologia

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés
The Bears leaving Chicago would be the biggest tragedy in sports relocation history. I can’t support the Indiana Bears, that feels wrong on so many levels
Is anyone on here watching Wonder Man? Just finished episode 6 and whew…exceptional. Yahya and Ben are so so good in these roles.

Read this. Reread it. Reread it until it sinks in.
The NBA is ‘postponing’ to try to sidestep the issue. Acting like this is some kind of natural disaster.
Nothing is going to change tomorrow.

Eventually Mammon is revealed to be an eldritch being living under the Federal Reserve who controls all the material wealth in the world ; market crashes occur when he awakes every few decades and goes on an unstoppable spree of devouring human lives until he's satiated again.
There's a scene where a character talks about how to earn a million dollars you need to sacrifice your personal health, but to earn more than that you need to sacrifice other people -- lots and lots of other people.
Mammon is the oldest God, who entered the human world after the first barter in the first civilization, and historical colonialism, slavery, exploitation are depicted as sacrifices to him.
The reveal is that global financial institutions are all actually cults dedicated to serving the god Mammon, who grants magical powers and indescribable wealth in exchange for human sacrifice.

After the ICE killing of Renee Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, global outrage erupted. Now fans are urging FIFA and sponsors to wake up: “Don’t sell blood-soaked football.”

if you want to actually push left-wing policies and build power you need deliver change to voters. if you're purely concerned with messaging to a handful of brain damaged twitter leftists you will never actually improve people's lives.
Something no one tells you about working out regularly is how much more laundry you suddenly have to do
I realize this position will be disappointing and upsetting to many of you but I personally do not think we want a new civil war that will kill tens of millions of people. Please just hear me out:
