⚽️ Ronaldo to boycott 2nd Al Nassr game in protest of PIF

ESPN

Sources told ESPN that Ronaldo tried to block the transfer of French star Karim Benzema from Al Ittihad to Al Hilal on Monday because he felt the move was unfair and indicated that PIF wanted to pave the way for Al Hilal to win the title.

Who would’ve thought the fake soccer league that controls the purse strings of every team and overpaid a bunch of old players would do things “unfairly?” Not to mention Ronaldo’s team is stacked still with João Felix, Kingsley Coman, and Sadio Mané—plus a couple young Brazilians.

🧑‍⚖️ Top Minnesota prosecutor says ICE cases are sidelining ‘pressing priorities’

Politico

Actual criminals are absolutely loving what’s happening right now. ICE isn’t going after the (extremely small population of) undocumented immigrants that are in gangs because those people would actually fight back and have criminal attorneys on retainer and the idiot goons of ICE want nothing to do with that.

It’s absolutely devastating to watch this. I’d love to echo the sentiment I’ve seen on social media and say, “how could anyone watch this and not be devastated?” But I’ve become too jaded. The people doing and celebrating this terrible shit are the people who tortured their pets like Sid from Toy Story as kids. This is exactly what the “anti-woke” folks want—they want to be able to laugh at people with disabilities after they illegally arrest them without reading them their rights or giving them their phone call.

🧠 Healing Together Conference

An Infinite Mind

I love “Fight Club,” “Shutter Island,” and “American Psycho.” (The movie and comic adaptations, too, for that matter.) Unreliable narrators are sublime. I don’t begrudge authors or filmmakers playing fast and loose with complex, poorly understood mental issues for the sake of a good story.

Having said that, Dissociative Identity Disorder — i.e. “multiple personalities” — isn’t nearly so bombastic. The real thing looks and feels different. And it’s really challenging.

Rant aside, here’s a conference about DID this weekend that’s got some interesting speakers and topics.

It’s probably too late to
