Re: America's first conspiracy theory?
America’s first conspiracy theory? There is no basement in the Alamo. j/k
Re: Barbie
In medicine, "assigned at birth" refers to the designation made by the physician delivering the infant. I have only ever heard the term used in that context, no reference to any creator. YMMV. I think Peter is using a bit of humor, something sorely absent in most of these types of discuss...
Re: Barbie
How exactly does having a final scene where a woman visits a gynecologist add fuel to TERF talking points exactly? Are you saying there is some better, more inclusive way to show a visit to the gynecologist? What would that be? Do feminist artistic statements always need to include a trans specific...
Re: Barbie
I just have to add that yesterday was pretty bizarre. After seeing Barbie, my neighbor’s mother died and I literally came up to her dead body lying on the sidewalk with a blanket over it and asked who it was…my neighbor said it was her mother. And the EMT just left her dead body there on the sidewal...
Re: Barbie
I was planning on watching it. I expected it to not just be all fun and poppy, as I can’t see Greta Gerwig doing a fluffy, traditional Barbie thing. I’ll comment once I’ve seen it. Please do. I like films that use the medium as allegory, whereas at points this was like listening to a speech and mon...

And even at that rate I might reserve the right to walk out part way through.

You might like it because it is very grim. A good introduction to Samsara for the kids.

Just saw it tonight and let me say, I’ve never cried before so hard about Patriarchy. For real, though. On the other hand, I have some thoughts about the movie… I thought it would be a lighthearted, funny film (as it presents itself) that is meant to cheer up our dark world or at least be a fun time...
Re: Wimbledon
Enjoyed watching Pegula. Eubanks against Tsitsipas (who handled Murray) should be good. Interested to see how that match goes. And the number 1 seed is a mystery to me. Anyone to beat Novac… The Djoker gets Rublev, who beat him on clay *in Serbia* last year. Maybe Rublev can wear him down. Despite ...
Wimbledon
Tennis, anyone? Kinda nice to be done with so many of the legends, it’s like a fresh start.

Re: The Southwest is dooomed
I've been to Lake Powell a few times, it's a very beautiful and surreal place. There's Rainbow Bridge and Antelope Canyon there. Last time we were there our ski boat hit a rock and sank. And then the houseboat was retired due to old age. Seemed a fitting end to an era for family vacations. It's a ha...

Re: World Cup 2022
I'm kinda bummed about Morocco going out, but France-Argentina ought to be a very good match. Griezmann has looked like the best player in the WC, and Messi is Messi. Should be fun. To me, it is a shame Morroco didn’t win. But, at least we have a really good final game ahead. A genuinely world-wide...

Re: World Cup 2022
I have a call and response with my kids on game day: WHO'S OUR QUARTERBACK?! JOSH ALLEN!! He's an American legend in the making. Paul Bunyan, Johnny Appleseed, John Henry, Neal Cassady ( :tongue: ), Josh Allen. Perfect underdog for Buffalo. He's been doubted and written off throughout his football ...

Re: World Cup 2022
I find the best approach is complete indifference to sports of all kinds...ok, maybe slightly interested in tennis...barely For me, teammate connections were a precursor to sangha relations. I don't compete against teams anymore, just personal goals swimming or lifting weights. Not fitting into spo...

Re: World Cup 2022
I find the best approach is complete indifference to sports of all kinds... That's where my inclinations are tending these day. But habits are still hooked in. Its an interesting lens to examine how grasping at pleasure and distraction play out. Overall, my interest in sports has been fading over t...

Re: World Cup 2022
Why would that make a difference? Virgo It doesn’t make any difference, however typically one sees a lot of support for Mexico’s team and not for the USA in my area of the US when it comes to soccer. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It’s all part of the multicultural environment we ...
