About two-three years ago, before the COVIDs, in a galaxy far far away, I used to play a lot of basketball 🏀. Some of our friends along with my wife, work at the local VA Hospital, which has a nice gym with an indoors basketball court. And, they asked my wife if I played and if would like to join them, and for little over two years, we were playing every Saturday. Every single Saturday we were there, whether it was only six of us or 12 of us, it didn’t matter. There was always bball on Saturday’s. Especially during the winter, since there isn’t much else to do.

Certainly there were a few folks who were amazing at it but most of us just played for the fun of it and the cardio. You know, burning the sins of the Friday night kind of thing 😅

One day I decided I needed to get new shoes and went to my local “Nike outlet” and got these beautiful¹ shoes!!

Used them one game! Then, well, we haven’t played ever since 😂.

Right now my RSS feed its sitting at two hundred and forty nine unread items. Which more than seventy-five percent of them I won’t even bother reading. There are many reasons for this. I believe my interests have changed over the last few years. There is to be a time where I cared about, the “hot takes” in technology, the how to’s, and software reviews. Nowadays, I can barely give two jacks about those 😅. It’s boring and I really don’t care.

I prefer to read , personal blogs, they seem more interesting an real to me. The rest is just majestic bullshit.

Because of this change I’ve stepped away from RSS a bit, most of the content I care to read about I either find in Micro.blog and newsletters. I deleted my Feedbin account and went with some free service but I think I’m going to either kill it or just unsubscribe to seventy five percent of my feed.

Even if we are on the same page, there are two topics that I would avoid talking at all cost, religion and most of all politics. These two topics are so divisive that I much rather to avoid. That being said, I do have very strong feelings about one of them, especially about our current state in “management”. So much so that I also have strong feelings against people or organizations that support and promote our current management and I hate it. Why? Well, I have people close to me, friends or just or acquaintances that I have known for years, that they all have had an impact in my life in one way or another. Until, I find that they, just like me, have a strong feeling in their ideals and politics. That is not the real issue, this is not about left wing or right wing thing, at least to me. It’s is more about supporting a thing (I say a thing because I can’t think of him as someone) that goes against everything that it’s been a decent human. It makes me disassociate from this person and I hate that, because deep down I like this person. But when you support a thing as bad and as inhuman as it is and so strongly that you can’t see all it’s bad, it is hard for me to separate that from the person and accept it.

Today for example, I had to stop unfollowing someone I considered a friend because of this. I have a lot of mixed feelings about it. A little bit of “how could you?” As in some kind of betrayal and grieving in a way. Also I’m mad at this person and want to say something but it is not right “you’re supporting everything that is wrong with this country”.

My Instagram timeline should be back to normal now I guess 😉

It’s so hard, trying not to judge a person’s character based on this shit.
