Sad Belgium has to play this game in the conference/court room with backroom deals and power plays when we just want to play it on the grass like real men.
When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.
Within digital environments — structured to persuade — interaction is optimized to the point of rendering a real encounter superfluous; the otherness of persons in the flesh is neutralized, and relationships are reduced to functional responses. Dear friends, you, however, are real persons! Creation itself has a body, a breath, a life to be listened to and safeguarded.
Time capsule: Nobody--well, almost nobody--would ask the questions to a leading African-American artist that 60 Minutes asked Miles Davis in 1989. The look in Davis's eyes as he hears them... sheesh. https://t.co/MpTpmyEDaz
@Dameshek If Baltimore loses Saturday the game Sunday is meaningless for the Steelers.
Maybe they sit a beat up Rodgers part of the game.
That means Myles may be in position to break the sack record vs. the back up.
Who is the Steeler backup?
A year after its final pour, the legacy of Cambridge Brewing Company endures through its people, innovation, and a community that chose to go out with grace. My latest for @allaboutbeer with reflections from many members of @CamBrewingCo longtime team.

30 years ago today, Don Brodka (that’s right, Don Brodka) banned Bart from the Try-N-Save for attempted theft. “Marge Be Not Proud” first aired December 17, 1995.
My non-Shedeur Browns takeaway from this week is that they wasted a Super Bowl-caliber defense because they had to justify over-drafting Dillon Gabriel.
