Striving to live a life worth living

[Nikko Ramos @NikkoRMS]

Loss of life (young life at that) brought about by avoidable circumstances that the victims were exposed to by authority figures that were supposed to care and nurture them - is a tragedy that requires accountability. No it won’t bring back Divine and Rene, but we cannot allow people in power to be protected when their authority and status were wielded to put young men in precarious situations that took their lives. There’s anecdotes on record of precedent, there’s a grieving mother asking for the most basic details amid official statements saying they are ‘working closely’ with the families.

Investigate this to the fullest. Basketball is by no means more important than protecting our young people, most especially those who come from backgrounds that force them and their families to look at a roster spot, game minutes, a coaching staff’s favor and approval - as tickets to a better life.

Pay close attention to who says what, if anything at all. If you’re not enraged by the avoidable accident that took the lives of two young men, if your instinct is to protect an institution’s reputation over condemning those responosible for two boys dying, if you would rather be silent because you’re worried about relationships or your place in the industry, then you’re part of the problem.

This was avoidable. This was negligent. It’s only basketball, ffs. There are people responsible. Hold them accountable.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran's FM: Are you insane? Stop attacking our nuclear power plant!

After the Bushehr nuclear power plant was targeted for the fourth time today by airstrikes, he quite rightly points out the hypocrisy of the West condemning attacks on Ukraine's nuclear plant while pushing the button to launch missiles at Iran's.

[Jace @jcardz]

@phangelai @KafosoMo Just asking, hard to keep track of twitter logic.

@F4th3rl3ssK1nk @KafosoMo Cool, yes would have sufficed.

@KafosoMo Ok, so we do celebrate death now. Keep crossing the red lines.

The past can be a memento, but not your definition.

on my 26th birthday, i wrote I Took A Pill in Ibiza...11 years ago. The song became popular several years after i wrote it.
This year I celebrated my 37th birthday. I feel proud to look at the song lyrics and know that NONE of them are true anymore. I've grown into a completely new man...one that i'm proud of. check this out...

@Charlottean28 Hot take: players do a piss poor job of interacting with fans, especially those on the court. Would it hurt to high five and acknowledge the fans, soccer style after every game?

Some people are there to watch live maybe just once in their life.

Who knew pride and pain can be felt simultaneously, even as just a viewer.

The beauty and brutality of sports 🙏

[EJ Obiena @ejobienapv]

I first want to say thank you to everyone who has followed, supported, and believed in me. 4th place is painful to say the least; and in sports with three podium places, perhaps 4th is the harshest place to be. I am heartbroken that a single failure cost me and -
