Do a Paddy Brown today..
I saw this at Scoble’s today and I definitely plan on using Paddy as an inspiration and reminder to do my best to impact people in a positive way.
Just a response to Brian Kane’s post: I don’t know that I can add anything more to the din, or that I want to. Still, it’s not right to ignore it and go along blithely as though Wednesday were an ordinary day. I also think it’s a little bit disingenuous and quite a bit overdramatic…
Reading through the blogroll over lunch today I discovered two very important events that had taken place this week. I learned that Farid and George had won a business plan contest, gaining $10,000 to help startup their restaurant. And then, as I continued reading I learned that Andrea passed away from the cancer that she…
Pin I have been on record saying that if you truly believe in a cause, and the importance of it, you need to be the first to call out untruths.
I’ve said it about false rape allegations, false child abuse allegations, fake hate crimes, etc.
If you believe rape, abuse, and hate crimes are big issues that our society needs to be concerned with, and that the victims need to believed, you need to be the first to call it out when someone undermines the issue by spreading false stories.
So, while it may cost me some followers, let me just say this. If you believe QAnon conspiracy theories about elite pedophile gangs and sex trafficking rings with zero proof aside from some seeming coincidences with a bunch of half-true facts, and go spreading them around, you are undermining the very serious issue we have in society with actual, real pedophiles, elite and otherwise, and real, true to life, sex trafficking.

They have posed as a mental health advocate to connect with…
Pin That seems to be what they found in Oregon. And according to this article it’s something that more local agencies are trying to identify as well. In Oregon, what they found when they started looking into the rise in the rates of suicide, was that they didn’t really have any more information than that. So…
Pin If you pay attention to the news at all, I’m sure you’ve seen something about Larry Nasser over the past couple of years. You may even be fairly familiar with the story. If so, the Netflix documentary Athlete A might not offer a lot of things you don’t know to some extent or other. But, you may want to watch it anyway, even though watching it and hearing the stories will be difficult. I did a couple of nights ago, and had a couple of thoughts about it, in no real order of importance.
