Once upon a time a good birthday meant barely remembering what happen. Now it means watching two of of my kids win their soccer games (one goal, one assist, and one lock down defensive effort) and one up on stage in their high school play. And I couldn’t be happier about the change.
My brother in law passed away yesterday from cirrhosis. He was hours from getting married. He was 36. We are all in shock.
As someone who drank hard liquor heavily on a daily basis for years, it hits very close to home. Having kids changed my drinking habits.
But this isn’t a cautionary tale or after school special, just a reminder to hug the ones you love. You never know when you’re seeing them for the last time.
I am proud of my alma mater today. #gotitans https://www.pylusd.org/apps/news/article/1674007

The Russian government on Saturday called the incident a "terrorist act" and said that the two shooters were volunteer soldiers.
Ran across this small, but insightful channel on Russia. Highly recommend. https://youtu.be/enNITAV6EwI

Confirmed that a Waffle Houses in Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte are closed.
Things are serious.
Stay safe y'all who are in Florida.
No shade intended, but what every happened to Clubhouse. It was the “it” social app for about two seconds, but then I forgot about it. Does anyone know how its doing?

Funny how the GOP doesn’t see that this is what the left is fighting. This is the logical conclusion of their policies- From Tehran to L.A., the death of an Iranian woman sparks a feminist outcry - Los Angeles Times

I didn't have Iran teaching the world lessons in challenging gender bias jotted down in my 2022 Global Events Almanac.
But I'm happy to be surprised!
For years there has been a significant cultural tension around wearing a hijab. Some women have said it's their intrinsic motivation, and it's liberating. Others have said that it's an oppressive imposed "tradition."
Now both sides are standing together against authoritarian overreach and oppression.
What happens here will be significant.

Protests Intensify in Iran Over Woman Who Died in Custody
Unrest has spread to dozens of cities, with at least seven people killed, according to witnesses, rights groups and video posted on social media.

One of the most hopeful moments I’ve had in the Internet came when Twitter can’t together to boost the voices of the people of Iran. Unfortunately, instead of being a catalyst it was a swan song. Nowadays we’re more likely to find tirades that are anti trans, anti abortion, anti immigrant, anti women, etc, than anyone trying to help other people. Something needs to change.
