Social media is all about manufactured outrage. I don't give it any energy, but there are lots of people that seem to love to. If you choose not to care about this shit it loses all its energy. Don't apologize. Ricky Gervais said it best:

That and algorithms that feed you what you want (and only want) to hear...

Fuck with their algorithms,  read shit that you don't necessarily agree with and your feed will be all over the place,  once in a while you will likely find good stuff you wouldn't normally get through their biased filter for you.

Thats exactly why i try and go to a couple of places on stories worthy of multiple views.

The latest mass shooting last week was one of those. It never ceases to amaze how that story was told depending on agenda.

Caitlin (IA)  "went there, first".  Vs SC...at least what we see by tweet. 
The LSU girl, clapped back.  

Women's basketball, lmao.  

Story staying-power needs a trans-infusion.

Personally, I would give LSU the team trophy for poor sportsmanship and Angel Reese would receive the individual poor sportsmanship award.  Caitlin Clark would receive the runner up award. 

Angel won the individual award due to her "two wrongs equal a right fallacy".  LSU won the team award due to their failure to participate in the time honored handshake after a game.  

My opinion, my votes. YVMV

Oops, should that have been sportspersonship or sportswomanship, or sportsthey/themship?

Yah, but, would she go to the Obamas if they invited both teams? 

Silly error by Jill Biden to suggest breaking precedent... 

Weird how athletes view a visit to the white house as a time for political/in your face posturing.  Has been going on for while with multiple sports and both team blue & red...

I dont think this is as much political as it is race,  but since they are all libs I doubt that aspect will get any traction.

i didnt want to start a new thread, but i wanted to ask,  is it discrimination if I refuse to do business with somebody because I dont agree with their political views?  can I be sued for not treating them the same as I would a more conservative person?  what if that person is black or gay or what ever else passes as a minority now,  can I be sued then,  even though my objection isnt based on their minority status,  just their political views?
