The Irrelevant

In 1921 the San Clemente Dam was built. 20 years later it was useless. 70 years later it was dangerous. Then it was dismantled. We built a WHOLE NEW lifestyle this past year...but it's not gonna hold. Gotta start thinking about dismantling it.

CAAM Water video about the Dam Dismantling here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNANijh-7sU

The book I mentioned is "How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy" by Jenny Odell

End music is "Expressing Thanks (Outdoor Mix)" by CUATRO CUATRO CERO, available here: https://open.spotify.com/track/1Ln4F1nHLvVUo1Vj66OabE?si=wSb1gw_6TrCVgjGX2iWjXw

It's The Grass's Fault!

You ever screw up while playing sports so bad you can't help but blame SOMETHING else? Maybe it's sweaty hands, or the sun in your eyes, or...the grass. Well, that excuse still works at the top level of the World's best soccer and it costs a big amount of money to address.

The Crash at Crush

Wed, 11 Nov 2020 05:43:08 -0000

The Crash at Crush was the dumbest publicity stunt that's ever happened in Texas, but I also wish I'd been there. In addition to being that it's also a reminder that we don't really understand the power of our technological advancements until something horrible happens.

Booing at El Grito

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 04:43:09 -0000

El Grito is the best part of Mexican Independence day celebrations, but it's not because of the nationalism. It's because all the people come together and boo the president, or governor, or mayor. It's because it's a reminder that political leadership should be uncomfortable. It's a reminder that they are accountable to the people.

Romain Grosjean Knows People Don't Forget

Wed, 02 Sep 2020 04:10:20 -0000

Romain Grosjean is a French Formula One driver who's been through a lot in his 10 year career. From podiums to first lap crashes and a stigma for being a dangerous driver. However, instead of letting that define him Romain found a way to persevere and has carved out a good career for himself. He's a good driver, a good person and his story is one of the many reasons why I enjoy Formula One.
