Nope!

Shoshana Rubli was a young woman living abroad when her therapist surprised her by
recommending she cut off her mom. Her childhood had been chaotic after her parents divorced when she was a toddler, she says, but she didn't view it as so extreme.
"I went in expecting to focus on boundaries," says Rubli, who lives near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. "I thought that meant better self-discipline and better communication."
Rubli tried to push back, but her therapist framed her concerns as blind spots that impeded healing, she says. So she took the advice and stopped talking to her mom. "I thought it wasn't permanent, that it was just fewer phone calls when I was in my therapy process," she says.
The estrangement lasted 10 years, despite her mom repeatedly trying to reach her. During that time, Rubli fell in love, got married and lost two grandparents. She also experienced other family members cutting her off in anger over her estrangement with her mom. "It was really hard," she said. "There were all these unintended consequences."

HEA ending phew

WSJ:

Then Rubli had children of her own and realized all
parents have flaws. So one day she called her mother, and the two began talking again. "I was thrilled to hear from her," says her mom, Ann Tendler, 69, of Cedar Key, Fla. "It was a real trial, but I always figured that someday she would realize she had made a mistake."
Rubli deeply regrets taking the therapist's advice, but says she blames herself.
"At the end of the day, you can't hold them accountable," she says. "Because you told them what you told them, and you listened to what they said."

The lead of the story she is apparently linking…what are we doing here WSJ

WSJ:

Shoshana Rubli was shocked by her therapist's advice, given in her second session. But the counselor was recommended by someone she knew and had impressive credentials, so she did as she was told.
She cut off all ties with her mother.
"It was an argument made from authority, so I followed it," says the 42-year-old freelance marketer.
Is it really good therapy to break your mother's heart?

Got a type of academic crank I wasn’t familiar with here

Home
/ Wild Democracy: Anarchy, Courage, and Ruling the Law
This is a manifesto for a wilder democracy. This is an ethic for free, courageous and anarchic democrats.
Courage is necessary because fear is the death of democracy. Fear-fear for personal security, fear of change and loss- leads to fascism and
authoritarianism. Anarchy protects us. Anarchy is not a license ,, anarchy is the shadow and salvation oi
democracy, the discipline of the free. Wild democracy is nurtured in anarchic spaces. The Western canon taught that true democracy is dangerous, and that the people are a problem to be managed. This book argues that people have not only the right but the ability to rule themselves. The law should not rule them, they should rule the law.

Seriously. Flushing a terrible person like this out at the first opportunity is a big bullet dodged.

As Mr. Platner's star rose through the winter and early spring, Mr. Katz was privately promoting him as a future presidential candidate for as soon as 2028, if he won his Senate bid.

FIFA lol

Furthermore, during the match coordination meeting, FIFA deliberately removed the section concerning the automatic suspension of players from its presentation. This topic had nonetheless been part of all such meetings before each of the previous four matches. The RBFA questioned FIFA, both orally and in writing, about the reasons for this change, yet once again received no response.

The Guardian never, ever writes"Whoopi Goldberg, whose real name is Caryn Johnson", or "Elton John, whose real name is Reg Dwight". But they do this for Tommy Robinson EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY MENTION HIM. Why? I'm all for ridiculing him, but this comes across as childish and unprofessional.

Love to weigh in with a dumb talking point from a part of the city this train doesn’t run through.

"They want the (Metro train) to run a minute and a half faster, but they are not considering that other vehicles would be running slower," said Edward Siu, chair of the Chinatown Merchants United Association of San Francisco. (Chinatown would not be affected by the red lane project, but many of the business owners on Ocean Ave. are monolingual Chinese speakers who Siu would consider constituents.)

Basically the same stuff they were saying during her confirmation

The tribunal found the questions, asked during a recruiting dinner, violated Yale rules against discrimina-lion. The questions, according to the cribunal, included: "Do law firms do a disservice by hiring minority students who the firms know do not have the necessary credentials and will then fire in three to four years? Would I have been admitted to the law school if I were not a Puerto Rican? Was I culturally deprived?"

The incompetent San Francisco Giants manager who let his terrible, bigoted pitchers deface their Pride Night caps is not handling the aftermath amazingly

Vitello then compared the backlash his pitchers are experiencing to SEC baseball fans who heckle players. He hasn't acknowledged fans offended by the players' decision to protest, which many interpreted as intolerant of the LGBTQ+ community, in the first place.

That settled, we can move to the controversy over if soccer is supposed to be fun. The broadcast crew took up the question in the pregame. Lalas said it is fun. Lowe responded,
"Alexi used the word fun, of course it's fun, we all love football, but it's also serious isn't it?" Then, Zlatan: "Fun yes, but then the whistle blows and it is dead serious... This is the moment you show who you are." According to Zlatan, play is fun but has a sacred seriousness that is about self-presentation.

Let's read between-the-lines for what we can further suppose Zlatan thinks about how this self-presentation works, taking it for granted he is steeped in the hermeneutics of Gadamer (Zlatan is steeped in all philosophers and his quote suggests he is particularly so in Gadamer).
