Women behind me on the plane
W1: my mom’s profile picture is a pig W2: my mom’s not allowed on social media bc she broke her back in a crash on the Pennsylvania turnpike and she has a lawsuit pending and they’re trying to prove she’s not disabled so she can’t be on there. She uses her boyfriend’s account and she ragged me for like four days about my wedding saying I ruined it for her bc my photographer didn’t take enough pictures of her Same women W1: can you please close your apps? You’re making me anxious. That’s why your phone is so slow W2: I like them open. I like to go back to them without having to look W1: ok that makes sense. I do that with browser tabs. I have like 12 open W3: you have 12? I have 457 W1: 457? Are you serious? Why? W3: I never close them. Those are my emotional support browser tabs And again W3: are we landing? I’m closing my eyes W2: it’ll be ok ::turbulence:: W3: was that the ground? W2: nope. Just air ::hard bounce landing:: W2: that was the ground W3: that was rough. Rough Yeah so I did read Spare and it was pretty interesting so see him get so close to self-awareness. But at the part when he complains about this essay by Hilary Mantel, I felt crushed because if anybody was on his side, she was.
“Every time I think I've had enough
And start heading for the door There's a very strange vibration Piercing me right to the core It says, "turn around you fool You know you love him more and more" Tell me why is it so Don't want to let you go” — Clifton Davis No privacy for the super rich, including and especially royal families. It’s nothing personal; just means testing to make sure they are living responsibly on our tax money.
Okay okay okay just stop. Be serious. Do people really want the All-Star game to be serious and competitive? Really? Why?
There’s already 82 competitive regular season games. Why can’t the All-Star Game just be for fun? To see the players have fun? That seems like a really rare gift to me. https://www.si.com/nba/2024/02/19/nba-fans-bashed-2024-all-star-game-for-lack-of-competitiveness https://www.on3.com/pro/news/multiple-media-members-call-out-the-2024-nba-all-star-game/ https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/19/sport/nba-all-star-game-2024-east-vs-west-spt-intl/index.html So, the league is negotiating new TV deals and for this (like a mazillion, gorillion, money-isn’t-even-real imaginary dollars) they want to be able to say the All-Star games will be more competitive. Once they negotiate a 10-year monster contract, the games will be whatever the games are. But right now, Silver was up everybody’s ass to put on appearances. Players don’t want the All-Star Game to be more competitive, because All Star Week is when you chill, relax your brain, and heal nagging injuries. It’s for fun. Everybody says they love street ball until they get to watch the best ballers in the world do it and then they want those guys to get serious? I don’t buy it. Looking on Twitter now and when I see tweets that start with “In my day…” sorry sir, you’re a bot. “NFL player survey: Too many rats; not enough trainers”
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39616360/dolphins-vikings-top-players-survey-nfl-teams-chiefs-31st Be honest: would you read this if it were titled “Dolphins, Vikings top players' survey of NFL teams; Chiefs 31st”? |
