I think it's time to recognize that if you subscribe to The Athletic and share their stuff, you are supporting a larger framework that absolutely demands bigotry be treated with some level of decorum. It's not quite the Harry Potter fan dilemma, but it's not far off from it.

An image of a skeet from The Athletic with the link and image cropped out (because fuck them).

Aaron Rodgers spoke out about Dr. Anthony Fauci. Sophie Cunningham spoke out about transgender athletes. Caitlin Clark chose not to weigh in.

Steve Buckley on how athletes can't win on social media:

If anyone is in Niagara next weekend, I highly recommend the re-enactment of the siege at Fort Erie on Saturday night. There's a candle light tour through the aftermath and the captured fort afterwards. The reenactors are great, and camped out there all weekend www.niagaraparks.com/events/event...

I'm off delivery for 2 weeks and I have subscribed to too many podcasts. I'm still backlogged from 2 weeks ago when I was in class for a week. What, am I supposed to just drive around for 5 hours a day on my own dime?

Feels like a big year for spiders. I have a laundry line in my basement I hang my non-dryer stuff on and I went down to get the laundry and there were 4 webs in my way. Half my security cameras at work make it look like giant spiders are attacking the falls.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

Where was this rain yesterday to shoo the tourists away? Also where was this tornado to really get rid of them. Also, quit being a downer environment Canada.
