Every day is a good day to support Ukraine and international law.

But it’s a great day when pressure is ratcheted up to force an end to this bloody, illegal and deadlocked war that has disrupted and destroyed so many innocent lives.

Peace through strength.

Sisyphus’s eternal punishment was recently worsened.

He is now a doctoral student. His fate is to continue coming up with new brilliant ideas, writing vigorously, then upon resuming research, recognizing his ideas are neither new nor brilliant. Then starting over again and again, ad infinitum.

Props to Draymond Green to calling how it is. Love the energy in the NBA right now. But this gimmicky format for the game is too much. Bring back East-West throw downs and get off the celeb coach lineups.

It’s about the game. That’s why we are here and have been here for decades.
