Its Bracket Time: VISIT Milwaukee Busts Out MKE Attractions Bracket

-
It is now March, and that means March Madness approaches - the events leading up to and including the NCAA men's basketball tourney which not only encompasses the tournament but games and other tourneys leading up to it that decide who even gets in. You'd pretty much have to be living under a rock in America to not be aware of the tournament brackets where people try to predict the winners. For years other people have copied the bracket format to let people vote on or predict the best of other unrelated things from the best beer to

Milwaukee has connections to the NCAA Tournament such as Northwestern Mutual being a sponsor of NCAA sports and this year Milwaukee gets a set of games right here in our backyard.

No Festivals That Cancel Aren't Taking Away Your Freedom

A photo of the street festival I organize.  We saw them all last year, and they are cropping up again this year. Festivals small and large cancelling. A common reaction, at least in social media announcement post comments is something like this: "Why don't you just have the festivals? If people want to go, they will go." Is it that simple? Just hold the festival and let however many people are comfortable going show up? Of course it's not. But people with this reaction won't even take a minute to ponder the consequences, and not from a public health standpoint but to the festival itself. They have no idea what it takes to put one on and what is involved and what you can lose if you even have only 75%, let alone 50% or less attendance. Or if they even have the capability to put it on still.  Let's take a quick, very quick, look at what goes into making this decision.

Yesterday I attended a sold out concert in an amphitheater. While I generally enjoyed myself, the experience made me not only accept that I am an introvert, but it inspired what I think is an analogy that may help non-introverts, aka extroverts, understand what its like to be introverted. Or should I say capital I Introverted? I call it the Starship Analogy, based on how deflector shields are typically described in science fiction.  I'll explain it a bit later. First, let's talk about the whole Introvert thing.

Whataboutism and the attack on the Capitol

cr. AP J. Scott Applewhite In the realm of politics in America, in a two party system that easily lends itself to us vs. them reactions, cries of hypocrisy are common. I find myself using the term probably too often. Yes, often there are cases where each side can show the other side does the same thing. But, l et's be clear, there is no false equivalency whataboutism that can compare yesterday to the protests of 2020. The events of January 6th were a planned (and further incited) attack on THE Capitol of the nation, the representatives inside, and the process of the official, final selection of the next administration. The response by law enforcement to the event, once which again was an attack on the People's House - the seat of our national government - was far from equitable to other protests.
