Cancel culture IS real; just neither one sided nor omnipotent …

Twitter is an interesting platform. I’ve seen liberals complain that they wish “cancel culture” was real because someone that they don’t like still has a platform.

Well, it IS real. But it has limitations.

Example: the Dixie Chicks indeed got cancelled. But Ted Nugent didn’t.

The reason is simple: The then “Dixie Chicks” angered their fans; Ted Nugent didn’t.

In short, IF others have something you want or need (e. g. business) then those people can cancel you; those who have nothing you want or need cannot cancel you.

Think about it: remember the scientist who wore a bad shirt when they announced about landing a probe on a comet? He got “canceled” because he angered his own tribe. Think about it: do you think some right wing law prof who was worth 40 million dollars would give a damn about what a bunch of liberal proffies had to say?

BTW, I think that is some of the appeal that Trump and the R’s have: they “stand up” to the libs…even if they are outrageously wrong.

Kill Bond, NOW!

I remember back in my college days, a couple of guys got drunk, saw this movie, and spent the better part of the night trying to get the “Kill Bond. NOW!” right.

And I am binge watching the Bonds; I still have two Craig Bonds to go before I can say that I’ve seen all of them. I’ll say more later.

I did lift over the past couple of days;

Yesterday: deadlifts and farmer’s walks. (4 reps of .12 miles each with 134)

deadlifts: 10 x 134, 10 x 184, 10 x 224

5 sets of 3 x 251 on the 3 minutes…3 min rest

2 sets of 3 x 274 on the 3

Then the farmer’s walks.

Today: 1800 swim: 200 free, 300 kick/swim (fins), 200 side, 300 kick/swim (fins), 4 x 50 free (alt pull, free), 400 kick/swim 4 x 50 free (alt pull, free)

I actually talked to another swimmer afterward.

Then home for weights:

50 pull ups (10 singles, 20 singles), 4 wretched sets of 5

push ups: 40, 40 30

shoulder presses: 3 sets of 10 x 80

curls: 3 sets of 10 x 50

lots of rehab..shoulder IS starting to feel better..seriously.
