WTF-Beta

I only wish that human beings could bring themselves to admit to themselves and others that they have been and are watching a live streamed genocide in Gaza and other places in Palestine.

We were taught to, "never forget." We were taught to believe in international law. We taught ourself that, "holocaust" is a word that no group of human beings owns.

The new owner of CBS is a Zionist billionaire that has given more money to the IDF than anyone in history.

CBS does not, as no media conglomerate does, operate under the FCC framework that we remember because the framework has been demolished.

CBS is now the definition of propaganda.

No true journalist can work for it as a reporter. The people who work at CBS now are stenographers.

This young person is promising because he hasn't agreed to betray journalism by being a stenographer.

I agree completely that everyone must make their way in the world.

I understand on the other hand that this is entirely possible to do without supporting a holocaust.

Wait till he sells his soul to the devil in a manner of speaking?

Good, independent minded people must exist in the world, or the sun and earth might as well collide into each other tomorrow.

Besides, there is independent media. If I repeat it 1,000 times, will I be believed?

Genocide. I said it.

Because, as Aristotle famously said-- A is A.

Anyone can say it, and mean it.

Or are we supposed to believe saying a self-evident truth is beyond the pale?

It so, why in hell?

If he "offended" CBS, too damn bad.

June 1 marks the start of hurricane season.

It looks like in the middle to late next week a storm will hit Florida on the Gulf coast somewhere and move east and north before exiting the state. I can't tell that there's any reason as of now to believe that it will be a named storm. It will probably be a lot of rain but with no real chance of flooding my neighborhood.

No. Not my sport. BTW, Motorola has a flip phone in license with them. Like the green color but don't want a flip phone.

@mik It's a strange thing. There was one at the house across the street. She was blocking the driveway. She said, "Can I help you?!" I said, "Yes, you can get out of my way so I can pass." She jumped out of the way and I turned my back on her. I haven't and won't speak to her again. We stayed there for 3 months in 2018. She knew who I was on the day I moved in. These people are impossible.

@wtg Vincent Foster likely was killed but whatever the case Bill (and Hillary) sailed through everything without a problem. We all know Bill and Hillary (and their foundation) did business with Epstein and that Bill was part of Epstein's inner circle.

I don't disagree with Mik.

Also, it was in Trump's nature, out of the horse's mouth, that he had the idea of imprisoning his political enemies. That's a hard no in this country. Or, it was in the past.

@wtg Of course you are aware that Trump has built and is building concentration camps in part for those he considers his political enemies.

It's an ugly thought but it's a fact.

Also, of course you're aware he was impeached twice. I don't know if those attempts were frivolous or not since the votes to remove by the Senate were known to not exist.

in rapid succession.

My favorite is Publix Greenlee USDA organic vanilla.

It's only $5.53 for a quart.

I eat it all even though it's more than one serving.

I don't care.

If I'm being honest, it has too much air in it, but I can live with it.

I plan to get receipts and never let anyone approach me and I'll make sure the pump resets.

At almost $5 I don't doubt scammers are as ubiquitous as mosquitoes.

Well, Trump had a 1st term and he campaigned on imprisoning his political opponents. "Lock her (Hillary Clinton) up" was one of his campaign slogans. So I don't think he got the idea from Biden.

It is a personality type. It is a personality disorder for all I know. I haven't figured them out.

There's a lot of them in my park. They come up and adamantly ask you if you if you live here. Just like that.

I say I've I owned my place for 8 years. Then I'm dismissive.

I think the next time I might say no, I'm here to sell drugs and watch them lose their tempers for my own amusement.

They're so absurd. We don't have a security guard here. I guess they weren't taught even a modicum of manners.

Happy Birthday!

Lol!

Yeah, that is amazing.

My other favorite Surrealist is Dalí. There's a world-class Dalí museum in St. Petersburg in my county of all places.

Happy Birthday, Joe!

It's funny you should bump this thread because I was just about to.

This has been one of my favorite paintings my entire adult life. It was introduced to me by my girlfriend in college. We were together my first year at UF and one year after.

She grew up in an interesting family. Her mother's side of the family were Episcopalians and had money since the 19th century and her father was Lutheran, a 1st generation Danish immigrant, a JD, and a county judge in the county north of where I live now.

She liked horses. She had done show jumping when she was growing up.

But the painting speaks for itself. It's brilliant.

The Blank Signature by René Magritte https://share.google/tn4xPlmSnF9kzSfIE

My grandparents' record cabinet had a small stack of their albums because the three kids, my mother, aunt, and/or my uncle had bought them and left them at home when they moved. I suspect it was my uncle.

It wasn't my mother. My mother was a Dylan fan and she kept her Dylan albums for the rest of her life.

I listened to a few of the albums. They weren't for me. I can't put my finger on why. I just didn't enjoy them.

I met a group of students in middle school who were huge fans when my other uncle who was a history teacher took me with a group of his students and other student groups to London.

I made friends with a group of students from another school and we spent our time together stating on the flight from NY.

It ended when we got home with him having a talk with me asking me in a kind plaintive way about why I chose not to hang out with his kids and giving me an inevitable talk because I had been caught smoking cigarettes. He didn't find out we were leaving the London hotel at night and going to clubs.

His kids had a list of places they wanted to go and things they wanted to do related to the band. It was everything them. I couldn't relate.

I don't judge people for whatever music they want to listen to but I would never spend my time listening to something if I'd rather be listening to something else.

Now I want to read the novel. I'll put it on my bucket list.
