Men’s street finals

The French competitor pulled off a hardflip frontside boardslide at 2:02, something I didn’t think was physically possible, much less a trick to throw down at the Olympics. He later landed a 360 flip 50-50. Those two tricks should have secured the gold.

Dirtbags everywhere

Fear is a dangerous emotion, probably THE most dangerous. As we’ve learned from a years’ worth of experience, fear can burn out of control like a wildfire. It would be very wise never to stoke public fear because of the very fact that it could begin burning out of control. And yet we have a governing/corporate/public health/media class that does nothing other than toss matches into a dry field all day. Then when they get the fire burning, they bask in its glow, and never caring a whit for the lives lost or damaged to the inferno that they started.

Why haven’t we seen the thousands of hours of January 6th Capitol surveillance footage?

Hundreds of people are being held without bail merely for being present inside the US Capitol building on January 6th. We should care much more about their well-being, regardless of their politics. We should also want to know what evidence is being used to detain them indefinitely.

Olympic street skating

I have never seen this level of skating at a competitive event, ever. Funny to hear the relatively calm reaction from the audience, they couldn’t appreciate what they just witnessed. Yuto’s nollie 360 boardslide, and later, his nollie 360 noseslide, cinched his win, but I think Jagger Eaton’s backside flip to fakie crooked grind should have delivered the gold. It’s hilarious that no one in any of the articles on the event even know the names of the tricks.

Excess death in 75+ age groups is negative in 2021

Lots of very smart people who have been correct from the very beginning believe this to prove that most of COVID’s victims were in their final months of life. They are referring to this phenomenon as the “dry tinder effect”. But look at the excess mortality among the younger age groups. Something very bad happened in 2020 to cause this mass death among the non-susceptible population. And the excess death is still going strong in 2021 among age groups not susceptible to COVID. Grim.
