THE ANTI SOCIAL MEDIA. AND ALL THE BAD FRIENDSHIPS. You are…

THE ANTI SOCIAL MEDIA. AND ALL THE BAD FRIENDSHIPS.

You are being a bad friend!!

So says a new article posted in the NEW YORK POST, all about how our constant reliance on social media is creating a terrible person out of everyone.

And I believe it.
We are getting winded by the steady stream of 24/7 junk. This election had consequences, too.. we just delved deeper into a pile of excrement on a daily basis of politics..

Real friendships aren’t online. Real friendships can be aided by social media.. but just quicky skimming through a feed and casually liking things and forgetting ten seconds later what you saw is the most repugnant form of friendship one can find.. and it’s very ‘BLACK MIRROR’ish to be perfectly honest..

I went back to my 2015 year in review and 2016 predictions. I actually am going to toot a horn. One prediction was that social media would wane, and that we would all find real ways to connect to people again. I sense that is happening.

I think the quicker it happens, the better it will be..

New documentary film asks: Was Malachi Martin an exorcist or an exhibitionist?

New documentary film asks: Was Malachi Martin an exorcist or an exhibitionist? :

Martin was a showman.. any Art Bell fan with a memory will recall those sleepless nights in the late 1990s, listening to Father Martin deliver his damnation of the world… about the ‘perfectly possessed.’…

This new documentary explores:

Hostage to the Devil (http://ift.tt/2gsxxDQ) is a 90-minute documentary film by Marty Stalker. It has been produced with the co-operation of the Irish Film Board. This is fitting given that the story it tells starts in the far south of that country. Malachi Martin was born in County Kerry in 1921. Having graduated in philosophy from the University of Dublin, he joined the Society of Jesus and was ordained a priest in 1954. His further studies took him to Louvain in Belgium, to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and to Oxford University.

Thereafter, he was sent to Rome as Professor at the Pontifical Biblical Institute where he taught Aramaic, Hebrew and Sacred Scripture. His future career looked bright, especially when he was made Private Secretary to Cardinal Bea. It proved not to be so. The Second Vatican Council was called in 1962. Some would maintain that alongside the good intentions of those who convened it, other forces gathered too, intent on distorting the reception of the outcome of the Council.

I will look forward to seeing this film..

I have my personal thoughts about Fr. Martin and whether he really was believable..

The scary thing for me, though, always was this: It is safer to believe everything he said than doubt even one fraction of it.

Just in case.

It was just a normal day for Melissa Kurtz, 48, who was driving on a highway in the Maitland area of Florida, near Orlando, to take her 13-year-old daughter, Harper, to a beauty pageant. Harper wasn’t wearing a seat belt, which was normal for her, and taking selfies to pass the time.

And then when she saw the picture days later she realized she saw someone behind her … she was alone in the car at the time the selfie was snapped.

Kurtz decided to do some research on the road they were driving on that day and discovered that there had been an accident on that same road and the day her and Harper were driving on it happened to be the anniversary of the death that occurred because of it

The UK DAILY MAIL interviewed her.. Kurtz said that she thinks the (potential) ghost in the photo was a warning to wear seat belts..

For your consumption.. and decision.

Trump demands apology from ‘Hamilton’ after cast’s message to Pence

Trump demands apology from ‘Hamilton’ after cast’s message to Pence:

The next four years are going to continue like this. So as long as Donald Trump has a Twitter account, he is going to use it like the millions of others who do: Nonstop barrages of commentary on mundane events.

The President-Elect is normally busy building a team of rivals, or friends, or whatever type of cabinet he wants to.. this year, Donald Trump is using his time to frequently go to Twitter to attack the cast of Hamilton–a broadway show that most likely most of Americans don’t care one bit about. This is not inside the beltway, but instead inside the big apple.. high above the lofty lofts of NYC are penthouses filled with people chattering about this. But the rest of the American people are scratching their heads at ..why..

Donald Trump is going to make just about everything about him over the next four years. No doubt people will bite every time. Why change now.

He will utilize Twitter to keep the masses who voted for him faithful to the cause, while silently changing policy opinions on world events and Obama care.. yes, the Hamilton attack only gives more red meat to those who have not had any since the last Trump rally.

By Saturday morning, both #NameAPenceMusical and #BoycottHamilton were trending on Twitter. There was a pro-Trump flash mob on Saturday night on Broadway. By Sunday, morning AM Trump again went to Twitter to slam Hamilton.

This is unprecedented.

Is it unpreseidential-elect?
