What you're seeing is people being over exposed. Everyone has a venue for communicating their inner experience: Twitter is micro blogging. Facebook is for high school friends. TikTok is for dancing routines. Insta is for glam photos of influencers. Discord is for gamer conservationists. Blogging is for grandiose narcissists.
I thought that because I saw a headline that Jordan Peterson "Jordan Peterson rails against ‘tyranny’ of paper towel dispenser". That is from the Independent in England. I read all the newspapers in England when I lived there, I love reading newspapers when I travel. I think I got the Independent fairly often. The Sunday paper was a real prize. I love reading the Sunday newspaper with all it's sections. I haven't bought a newspaper in years, and now I expect everything for free, and newspapers are dying. Newspapers are mostly about people trying to get away with grifts and exploitation, and celebrating them on the right and judging them on the left. With the spread of information there's so much information.
I've recently listened to a bunch of podcasts about my soccer team. The team is tight lipped, they're owned by UAE owners who don't live in a democracy and don't believe in the freedom of speech. I wouldn't say they were any worse than American owners. An RSL owner was forced to sell his team because he liked dropping the N word too much, and the owner in Portland had to sell the women's team because he was complicit in the abuse. The LA Galaxy fans might be boycotting the team because they don't like Chris Klein, the president of the club (ESPN).
Since there is a dearth of information about my team, people speculate based on what they know. Matt Freese didn't come to NYCFC to be a backup, but Louis Barraza served his time as a backup for this moment to step into the number 1 spot. There's a competition or whatever, the team isn't tipping it hand. The team speaks when the players go out onto the field, or 45 minutes before when they are forced to disclose their starting 11. The rest is none of your business. It almost harkens back to the pre-internet days. Heber was playing in Croatia, when the Brazilian was plucked up by a desperate NYCFC. Taty was a winger, but then he was forced into the position to cover for the injured Heber. Every team wants a great striker, but great strikers don't exist, and the real engine are the central attacking midfielders. De Bruyne is the top, and he didn't play yesterday in Leipzig, where Man City tied.
I don't like American Football, too destructive on the players, and way too much money. The Nickelback of American sports. But there's a great podcast about espionage in the NFL. The free flow of information isn't about valuable actionable information. Knowing things at the right time, in the right way. It reminds me of the Elizabeth Warren takedown of Bloomberg. I wish she were younger, and America wasn't too misogynistic to allow for women leaders.
Here in New York, a woman got to be governor because of misconduct, and Hocul is not very good, there are a lot better qualified women. I really wish Kathryn Garcia was our Mayor right now. I like Adams because he's helping NYCFC get a stadium. Hocul spent 700 million of taxpayers money for her husband's Buffalo Bills so they can play 10 games a year.
Conservatives think it's better to burn books, instead of a capitalist system where the copyright holders and publisher choose to edit out sentiments in a capitalist system, that don't hold up over time (source).
