Bill Maher has something to say to millennials.


For the videophobes here is the transcript. ;-)

??? “In India, young people touch old people’s feet to show reverence. In Japan, there’s a national ‘respect for the aged’ day.

??? You know the reason why advertisers in this country love the 18-34 demographic… because it’s the most gullible.

??? A third of people under 35 say they’re in favor of abolishing the police…not defunding, but doing away with a police force altogether… which is less of a policy position and more of a leg tattoo.

??? 36% of Millennials think it might be a good idea to try Communism… but much of the world did try it… I know most of Millennials think that doesn’t count because they weren’t alive when it happened… but it did happen, and there are people around who remember it. Pining for communism is like pining for BetaMax or MySpace.

??? So when you say ‘you’re old, you don’t get it’, get what? Abolish the police? …and the Border Patrol? … and Capitalism? … and cancel Lincoln?

??? No, “I get it”… the problem isn’t that I don’t get what you’re saying or that I’m old. The problem is that your ideas are stupid.

??? If you say “let’s eat in the bathroom and shit in the kitchen”, yeah, that’s a new idea, but I wouldn’t call it interior design.

??? You think someone 80 is hopeless because they can’t use an iPhone? Maybe the one who is hopeless is the one who can’t stop using it.

??? You think I’m out of it because I’m not on Twitch? Well maybe I ‘get Twitch’ but I just think people watching other people play video games is a waste of fucking time.

??? 20% of Gen Z agree with the statement that “society would be better off if all property was owned by the public and managed by the government” and another 29% say ‘they don’t know if that’s a good idea’…

??? Here’s who does know… anyone who wasn’t born yesterday!”

There have been reports of truck loads of drugs and migrants crossing the US/Mexican border. Apparently it's a crises down there. According to what I've read, they are driving tractor trailers full of illegal immigrants and drugs to unload their cargo down on Main Street in downtown Terlingua before shipping them off in buses to Dallas and Midland.

According to police reports “Eighteen-wheeler tractor-trailer rigs and trucks of all sizes now pull right up to the river in unending succession to unload people and drug cargo in broad daylight along the long empty stretches of riverside territory."

Miami Private School Won't Employ Vaccinated Teachers, Citing Debunked COVID Myths

Hmmm, I see.? They seem to be saying just standing next to a vaccinated person takes away female menstruation?? What about the young'uns in pre-school? Will they just never conceive?? The? anti-vaxxers are so consumed by fear, so confused, and so easily influenced by made up nonsense it's sad to see.??

Here is No. 1 from the Centner Academy's ethical standard:?

1.Our school values the worth and dignity of every person, the pursuit of truth, devotion to excellence, acquisition of knowledge, and the nurture of democratic citizenship. Essential to the achievement of these standards are the freedom to learn and to teach and the guarantee of equal opportunity for all.
---------------------------------------------------

"It is in the best interests of the children to protect them from the unknown implications of being in close proximity for the entire day with a teacher who has very recently taken the COVID-19 injection," [Leila] Centner said.

Additionally, in her letter Centner claimed women across the world have reported reproductive issues from being near vaccinated individuals, resulting in miscarriages and complete loss of menstruation. The statement disregarded recent studies that proved??for pregnant women and those who are breastfeeding.

Ah yes, you too can send your child to this academy for ~15 grand/yr. if in pre-school and ~30 grand/yr. if in middle school.? (Anti-vaxxer parents will be flooding the school for requests to send their children there.)??

This song sung by Natacha Atlas is on an album I posted from to FFL many moons ago.??



I posted this song, which has an excellent rhythm.? Bob replied by posting a song and we traded songs for several hours.? A good memory.? ?

Apparently the late B.D. Triguna, Balaraj Maharishi, V.M. Dwivedi, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, Debu Chaudhuri, and Shivkumar Sharma, among others must have been very impressed with Maharishi's programs in India. Apparently all these pundits were famous all over India. YMMV.

This it it, this is the one. IMHO.

It looks like a pandemic over there in India. YMMV.

The conservative party of Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, is in deep trouble and will probably be voted out in the next national election, unless he's forced out by masses before he can even quit. Go figure.

From The New York Times, April 26, 2021:

"The available solutions are no secret. The same two strategies have worked around the world: restricting the activities that spread the virus, and accelerating the pace of vaccinations. Indian officials have also criticized the Biden administration for not exporting more vaccine supplies to India, given the large U.S. supply.

The latest: In another anti-democratic move, India's government ordered Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to take down posts critical of its handling of the pandemic.
Modi has a record of stifling dissent, and Freedom House, the democracy watchdog group, recently said India had become only a "partly free" country that was moving "toward authoritarianism."

Letter from India:

"If this pandemic has taught us anything, it's that the virus knows no borders. The double mutant variant of COVID-19 that's wreaking havoc in India will, sooner or later, spread to other parts of the world."

Everyone knows that the mundane joss sticks found in most Indian grocery stores is just punk dipped in oil. According to pundits in India the very best incense sticks are made from pure red sandalwood. I don't usually burn incense, but when I do I prefer Nag Champa cones by Shrinivas Sugandhalaya. YMMV.

For years we used to burn Sandalwood incense sticks in a brass burner placed in front of a framed photo of the Maharishi.?

Yeah, the next set will be HDR.

It's difficult to justify spending more money on a TV set when you already have a perfectly good set. Although my friend in Austin says to try and have backups of every device, just in case of a malfunction and you might miss something. YMMV.

One thing to watch for in the Vizio set beside the low price, is built-in Chromecast that I use with my small Chromebook. Vizio also has Pluto Watch-For-Free. IHMO.

Update:

Vizio M7 Series Quantum 2020 $499.99 Best Buy $439.00 Amazon

The 6 Best 4k HDR TVs - Spring 2021

I have a friend that bought a Vizio 4K TV because he had a Vizio TV before.? Problem is he isn't into computers and mobile tech.? Wrong TV to buy because you use an Android phone or tablet to stream shows.? He should have bought a Roku.? I've suggested just getting the $35 Roku 4K device that just plugs into an HDMI port on that TV and has a remote and he'll be set. The cable company "modem" is right next to the set so wifi will work.

I also have four 4K cameras.? Three are action cams (only one is native 4K) and my new Android phone has a 4K camera.
