TBI rehab; goldfish brain; I hope I make sense more often than I do not

[Jacob Martin @JacobMartin8]

I’m P&T and have lost all care due to being retaliated against for reporting a crime committed by a Dr. at the Washington DC VA hospital. It’s been 5 years of delays and denials of care!
I’ve given up asking for justice. The harm done to my family has broken us. I just want to rehab and return to work. I can’t even use VA CWT.
I’m frustrated! I still have a lot left to give. I shouldn’t be forced to be a welfare user when I know I can rehab and return to work.

@tomhaberstroh @sports_mediocre I’m with @MichaelRedd_ on this. If all falls were tracked, then there’d be stats to back up the obvious eye-test vis-à-vis ethical vs unethical hoopers.

OK I did it. I tracked over 1,000 shots for SGA, Brunson, Harden, Spida and Wemby in the playoffs. Here's how often they fell: https://t.co/0Vgr3ibDyP

This needs attention

@6Voodoo I’m just guessing here: If a person goes from a salaried position to just over the local minimum wage, then I would guess the job skills the person holds were never marketable.
IMO, it’s equal to having a humanities degree and only being able to make money by working in gov’t

@LieutenantRusty @annunakkki Conspiracy theory. He doesn’t exist

@SamCulper1778 @SoCalObserver @marcel_aromeh Grok says the most severe punishment for a Brady violation was 10 days in jail. However, disbarment is severe, as well.

@MattMorgan29A Not that I am for this law, but wouldn’t this allow a protected class Republican to sue the blue counties?

@BlackStork22 Aviators and corduroys; nice! Cords need to come back in style on my side of the pond.

Well wishes for your book sales, and stay safe out there.

Sport is uplifting

[Lemma the Optimist @DoctorLemma]

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points.

Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children.

He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself.

On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in.

His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted.

He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders.

His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.”

McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up.

When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”
