[Transgender swimmer Lia Thomas fails in challenge to rules that bar her from elite women’s races](https://apnews.com/article/swimming-transgender-rules-lia-thomas-8a626b5e7f7eafe5088b643c4d804c56)

> Swimming’s policy on transgender athletes was followed by other top-tier Olympic sports, track and field, then cycling, in excluding from women’s events those who have potentially gained lasting physical advantages from male puberty.

I am going to go out on a limb and say they got this right.

One of my own reports is a MBA from one of highest ranked schools in the country and in a field that we are in. Yet this report’s writing is terrible, ideas of bygone area and works slow as hell. I am constantly orienting this report, helping them to write better and get better at really thinking about the customer. Another person who used to lead a huge team in my org left the company earlier this year because they couldn’t get their act straight and knew the writing was on the wall for them with kind of absolute disorganization. This person now spews team management mantra on LinkedIn and posts random shit galore on how to build effective teams, trustful and organized teams and such! Its amazing how good people can be about self inflating their skills and worth and how little they actually bring to the table. As a brown guy this is the one skill I’ve never learnt in my life!

For fathers day my wishlist item is to see Inside Out 2. My just turned teen is annoyed at my choice and I am not budging. She does not want to go to see the movie, partly because she feels it will be all too real as a teenager. I can’t wait!

When historians look back at America (if there is a future) and try to determine at what point the complete moral and ethical decay began in the society, it won’t be 9/11, or a fascist getting elected. The day America lost its soul forever was Sandy Hook and history must remember it as such and nothing less. Read a news article today about those surviving kids finishing high school this year and it still feels like it happened so recently. I hope the survivors go on to lead successful fulfilling lives and maybe leave the country for good because America quite literally has failed them.

If Biden wins again I want him to throw out his worst possible hire: Merrick Garland.

Loving the fight by USA team against India. I still expect India to win but goddamn they are no flash in the park in this world cup! or at least till now.

Go team USA! No confusion here whom to support for today’s Ind vs USA cricket match!

Last day of school today which means I get to make a last day of school video with the kid and ask her the same questions I have asked her on the last day of school every year. Its been to fun see her grow through these end of year videos, and how her answers have evolved through the years.

I dont know how people keep up with *The Boys*. I watched one season, enjoyed it and by the time I was mid way through second season the show legitimately put me off completely. I didnt even realize they had a fourth season coming and a final fifth. Like how much can they keep milking that crap.

Last night, A makes Chinese style burnt garlic fried rice for dinner. After dinner, dad says to A *”That tamarind rice was so delicious! I’ve never had tamarind rice with vegetables before*”. I made a quick exit from the room before I got the stare.
