How Money Affects Sports: Understanding Global Capitalism
As the world changed, the various nations became more interconnected and open to the world market. In its commotion, globalization was crucial to the emergence of a capitalist market. Many people see global capitalism as a free and linked economic system that fosters innovation, eases cross-cultural interactions, generates employment in developing countries, and provides consumers with reasonably priced goods. The popularity of globally renowned sports celebrities, commercial enterprises, and global communication media all had an impact on the 20th century's globalization of modern sport. Through sponsorships, endorsements, and broadcasting, businesses can reach a worldwide consumer base. In this piece, I'll examine how globalization, capitalism, and sports history relate to competitive sports.

"GOT THEM OLD AGE NAZI BLUES". Content Warning.
I have written the song, created the music, edited videos, researched visuals, and I am now publishing the article. I worked over 12 hours on this production. I am including the transcript from the INVIDEO AI video and my song lyrics to sing along if you are a senior or an ally. I included innuendos and double meanings within the editing of the video.

Turbulent Times
The turbulent times of today require an understanding of how societies rebound from all the disingenuous policies that leaders of nations impose upon their nations. The falsehood that the US is the richest nation in the world is just that. Sure, we have some of the wealthiest individuals sheltering in America. But the majority of Americans are not monetarily wealthy.

Raised by Silence. Content Warning.
As a child, she read fairy tales and watched them on television. They taught her what she knew about love and how a female "should" act. The helpless damsel in distress needing a strong, handsome Prince to rescue her and give her a better life. As she grew older, movies and television shows continued to show her what was expected of her. Grease was one of her favorite movies growing up; she saw it as the best story of true love. Sandy and Danny were her ideal couple. A girl who was sweet, caring, smart, and innocent then changed her whole self for the bad boy who couldn't accept her as she was. The female characters who chase after abusive men, allowing themselves to be used and treated like property. The scene where Danny attempted to rape Sandy while they were on a date and nothing was ever said about it later on. She still ran back to his arms and called him her true love. Maybe that was why she failed to understand that rape was wrong when it happened to her.

Sticky Fingers, Silent Night!. Content Warning.
“Goddammit’,” Mr. McBride growled with a frown. He brake checked the man in the silver impala who refused to slow down. He glared at the store with the ugly blue awning. A smile curled around his lips, when he thought of the corporate greed he'd be conning.

What Brian Thompson and Luigi Mangione can teach us
In this article I will discuss what people like Brian Thompson and Luigi Mangione and even the woman that turned him in can teach us. Most of it is what we should already know. Before I begin, as in the previous article about Brian Thompson, I do not condone violence. For people bringing up eh French Revolution, they need to remember the Reign of Terror and how the French got Napoleon Bonaparte. As a person said in a move, "revolutions have a way of turning against you." This does not mean I have any sympathy for Brian Thompson and his ilk. Trust me when I tell you that his kind are only worried about losing their money and do not care about you. They are mostly made up of psychopaths, so they are incapable of feeling anything. Psychopaths tend to gravitate to positions of power and money.

Deny, Defend, Depose...and Die?. Top Story - December 2024.
I am going to make the assumption that you have been following current events in the United States over the last week. I am going to imagine that you have some very strong opinions about what happened both on the streets of New York...and online. And I am going to assume that you will hear me out and accept my particular take on this (no trigger warnings necessary or provided).

My thoughts about the assassination of The UnitedHeathcare CEO Brian Thompson
By now almost everyone has heard of the assassination of Brian Thompson of The United Heathcare and before I begin, I want to mention I do not condone violence although I understand it may be the only means to exact change. Honestly if I knew who this guy is I would turn him in. You have to realize how unhinged a person has to be to do something like this, but this doesn't mean I do not understand why. The world can do without elite scum such as Brian Thompson that profited of suffering and death. If you look up what a psychopath is, you will learn they seek positions of power.

Is the High Street on the Brink of Collapse?
Once upon a time, the cafe in the above picture used to be buzzing. That was before the once in a hundred year pandemic that we somehow had to have. Restrictions on the number of seated customers quickly happened, and then the renaissance and convenience of online shopping happened during quarantine; a combination of need versus boredom. Online shopping was (and still is) super convenient, and payment methods such as PayPal Pay in 4 and Afterpay are all too easy to obtain online versus the high street.

Election Day 2024
There are so many things I should have said but didn’t. I am not the type of person who says too much or says things I regret without thinking. On the contrary, I am far too quiet. In my case, I need to speak up more. There are many times I hold my tongue. In fact, I did it today, election day 2024.
