Happy Rice Truck Day to all who observe
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

“Kaepernick took an action for one season, and it cost him his career. Rodgers has spent a half-decade relitigating an anti-vaccine stance that costs him nothing and earns him a monologue on McAfee whenever he decides to take a shot.“ www.nytimes.com/athletic/753...
Colin Kaepernick knelt quietly. Ten years later, everyone just performs (Gift Article)
Activism is different from speech. Kaepernick jolted the sports world, but in the following years, many have extracted the wrong takeaway.

You know who else has an unfair advantage in sport?

Naturally talented athletes.

And people with high hemoglobin.

And rich people with money for sports camps and coaches.

Why should they be allowed to compete?

“Fairness in sports” my ass. Never since NFTs have I heard such bullshit.

My dad was a public school teacher; and he always said the toughest parts of the job were:

1. Having to pay for your own classroom chalk, and
2. Performing gender-reassignment surgeries during class hours w/out parents finding out.

One in every three bites of food you eat exists because a bee flew. The bee is not a detail. The bee is the system. And we are poisoning it to produce crops that are then used to make food products whose profit margins fund the lobbying that prevents the regulation that might stop the poisoning.

As of this morning, the WNBA has been mentioned on Fox News 163 times since last Monday.

During that same timeframe, they have only mentioned Max Miller's name 5 times.

The right is supporting an abusive man pretending he’s a woman so he can make a mockery of women’s sports. And some folks believed these people were just taking “common sense” positions about fairness and equality

The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough.

It's funny how many men come into my mentions to "protect women's sports" but have zero other posts talking about women's sports, or even women, in any kind of meaningful or supportive way.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences
