I need a word for shrill that doesn’t have the gendered implications. Thanks in advance.

If everything is the worst, is anything good? I ask because some folks are so relentlessly negative, and in dire need of a thesaurus, that it makes you wonder if they are capable of joy.

#ChasingNiagara is about a man's journey to go over Niagara Falls in a kayak. Wild, right? @rafaortizkayak is a compelling subject for a documentary and the journey is beautiful. Lots of great locations, fun shots, and humans pushing themselves to do the amazing.

Seeing that I signed up for the @RocktheRidge50, I have been watching more of the various Red Bull TV stories, looking for inspiration, or just to enjoy the scenery. Last night, I came upon #ChasingNiagara.

#MadeToBeBroken about running the AT is one of the better distance running documentaries I have ever seen. Even if you are not into running, hiking, the AT, or human beings pushing themselves to be better, it is still a great story. https://t.co/kZZodDZgqV


from Twitter https://twitter.com/ewabbott

I really enjoy the @redbull TV specials and movies, especially the ones about extreme sports. They are well done, with enough cliche & commonplace for them to have a rhythm while being identifiable as part of a narrative type that we have been telling for thousands of years.

If you do donate, I promise not to talk with you about my training and will only talk about the event if asked. Also, if you donate more than $25, I will buy you a beer at @RareFormBrewCo or coffee at the coffee shop of your choice. https://t.co/FzOFuBNhaX

I reached out to some friends, who I will get to in a minute, and they all thought that I was suffering from some sort of delusion. But as the night went on, the idea kept seeming better and better. And I slept on it.

Complaining about paywalls in 2019, after 2100 people working in newsmedia, and at Vice, lost their jobs is just wrong. Subscribe. Most places it is the cost of a beer a week. You could cut back on the carbs, expand your world, and support journalism.
