Defiance

I'm conflicted on obituaries not giving the cause of death. On the one hand, people have a right to privacy. On the other, the main person is dead, the information is sometimes useful to know, and the story is weirdly incomplete.

The Shangri-Las "Remember (Walkin' In The Sand)" (1964)

For the past couple of years I thought someone remade this song recently because I'd often hear a snippet of "Oh no!" on tons of Gen Z TikiTok and IG videos.

I guess it's just a sped up sample from the original. Kids these days.

I can’t see anything from X or Meta when I read articles because I don’t have accounts. All it tells me is how dependent the media is on nazis and traitors.

I’m guessing that these are shampoo, conditioner, soap, but I have no way of knowing if that’s true or which is which.

I am seeing a lot of discussion about this piece today on my social media feeds from former NPR staffers: https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-trust

Really happy to see such a high profile (and extremely religious) women’s basketball coach reflexively and confidently answer “yes” to this attempted gotcha question

A friend just sent me this terrifying video of boulders crashing down onto a road during the #earthquake in #Taiwan 😵

Dashcam video shows a few cars on a hillside road as they dodge huge boulders falling down onto the road.

I love watching sports. Basketball in particular.

But the culture can be so toxic or otherwise off-putting.

This article talks about a top womens basketball coach who loves to proselytize her specific religion to her players.

I'd guess 95% of players agree and appreciate it, however problematic it is when done at a secular institution.

Players are often extremely religious, as you'll often hear when they attribute a win (but never a loss) to their god.

“It takes away the glory from the players and their talents and skills. And it makes it seem like the other team is disfavored by this omnipotent deity. Believing that God cares whether you win a basketball game is the ultimate chutzpah by people pretending to be humble"

Finally blocked a serial joke thief that pops up in my feed all the time.

Tbh, the thieving doesn’t really bother me, it’s seeing them run a popular account that doesn’t really interact their thousands of followers that’s all based on nothing more than stealing shit from other people. It highlights just how ultimately pointless all of this is.

The Scimitars - “Bari Simone” (2023)

Vibrant and mesmerizing Middle Eastern influenced surf music from a talented combo out of SoCal.

Super producer Jack Endino did the mastering. No wonder it sounds so great.

I gotta see these guys live. I wish there were more than the two songs they recently released.
