  • Attention deficit democracy

    Attention deficit democracy

    The national mood is dark..

    Ever since that dreaded blood moon—oh and an meteorite hit the moon DURING THE TOTAL ECLIPSE that was seen from earth this weekend. .
    The Covington Catholic High School fiasco is a symptom of an even greater problem we face: WE have no time to get to know a story..let it develop..we judge quickly and hate even quicker when something newsworthy bursts open and makes the “viral” rounds..
    There are Hollywood stars and media moguls proclaiming that the children involved should be doxxed, that someone should put the young teens in wood chippers.. and that the school and teachers need to be “taught a lesson”—and Saturday Night Live ‘comedy writers’ saying they will give fellacio to whoever punches the MAGA teen.. 
    While the media and some stars had to back track on the video when MORE video and more information was released and known, others line just don’t care.. Everyone is dying to give their political view on the topic. They are spreading their hate on social media… on Facebook and Twitter we are developing into de-evolution..
    George Orwell wrote of a ‘Face crime” in 1984..This young teen, who now is taking to media to defend himself as his image has been spread around the world and his family and friends have been threatened with bodily harm.

    You can read the full report on what occurred somewhere—maybe you’ll get an unbiased report here or there.. All sources seem shaded just a bit towards their own side … their own political end game in mind..

    But in mind is how we are three seconds away from hate at all times on Twitter.. how people can make horrid comments about anyone at any time and call for violence.. Twitter may suspend some. But not all..and in the end the attention deficit democracy spreads far and wide.. with common sense, true journalism, and the dream of America falling by the wayside.
    We are divided. And when divided, much easier to be conquered…

    2019’s blood moon rises

    There is something magestic about a blood moon with negative 14 degree wind chills.. it binds you to history and the time and place you inhabit ..


    It gives you a sense of wonder and dread… it forces you into a position where you feel small.. feel helpless… feel alive!


    As the blood moon rises tonight … 



  • Real life meets horror: HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U shifting release date

    Real life meets horror: HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U shifting release date

    Universal Pictures is shifting the film’s release date from the planned February 14th, the one-year anniversary of the shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, to February 13th…

    “When Universal Pictures became aware last week that the one-year anniversary of the tragic events in Parkland, Florida fell on the Happy Death Day 2U release date, the studio spoke with victim advocates and immediately began the process of changing the release date of the film,” the studio issued in a statement. “Following discussions with its partners in exhibition, Universal will move the North American release date to February 13th. Additionally, the studio has decided not to show the film in Parkland and the surrounding areas. Outdoor, digital and in-theatre marketing for the film will be suspended in that market. The studio understands the importance of memorializing the February 14th date as an opportunity to continue to allow the Parkland community to heal.”

  • Nick Castle in the staying power of his performance in the original HALLOWEEN

    Nick Castle in the staying power of his performance in the original HALLOWEEN

    There was a great interview that appeared in COLLIDER..
    Among the best part was Michael Myers himself, Nick Castle, trying to explain the staying power of his performance in the original John Carpenter film and the staying power of the movie itself:

    Someone’s like, “How did you walk across… when you were chasing Jamie, and you turned at the banister, and you cross your leg, and what is that?” And I said, “I have no idea what you’re talking [about].” So I have to go back. I went back and took a look at it. And I was happy to see it again, ’cause I can see why it has lasting power. It just kind of all worked. The characters were well-drawn. And John just did a fantastic job, very simple but straightforward, but in a very artistic way.

    So yeah, it was fun to go back, and to revisit it. And I didn’t know this. In the performance, I guess just the angular… I was 145 pounds, man. And the way my face was, I had kinda stretched, I think, the mask a little bit. So it does have its own character. And in fact, someone told me there’s a… in the world of fandom, there’s a thing called the “Castle Stretch”, or something like that, which indicates that’s the captain instead of the other guys in the other sequels. It’s a fun thing, I know, for fans to do. And it’s more fun for me, as well.

  • ARREST MADE: MAN WAS PLANNING ATTACK ON D.C. AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS

    ARREST MADE: MAN WAS PLANNING ATTACK ON D.C. AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS

    Federal authorities have arrested a man in Georgia who they are accusing of plotting to attack several prominent locations in Washington, D.C., including the White House.

    Hasher Jallal Taheb had been under investigation by the FBI as part of a sting operation after local authorities reported concerns about him becoming radicalized last March, according to a criminal complaint filed in the federal court in the Northern District of Georgia in Atlanta on Wednesday.

    In a meeting with the informant and an undercover FBI agent on Dec. 2, Taheb allegedly stated that “they could do more damage” in the U.S. because abroad they would be “one of many.” He also allegedly said that he wanted to be a “martyr” and cause as much damage as possible, the complaint states.

    On Dec. 7, Taheb allegedly showed the undercover operative a hand-drawn diagram of the White House’s West Wing in a composition notebook and asked for help with obtaining weapons and explosives for the attack, the complaint states.

    “He said the group would fight to the end and make it a big bang,” according to the document.

  • ALEXA FIGHTS BACK!

    ALEXA FIGHTS BACK!

    Various reports from around the world today: A weird Amazon outage meant that Alexa – typically controlled by voice – was “ignoring” user requests throughout the day in various countries..

    Reports across the pond in Theresa May’s UK *she survived so far*:

    Outage tracker Down Detector received hundreds of reports about Alexa not working at around 8am UK time – and was resolved about an hour later.

    Most of the reports were related to either server connections not working, or problems with logging into Alexa.

    A global outage map showed that users were experiencing issues around the world, although primarily in the UK and Europe – which was just waking up.

    A large number of reports also came in from the USA, although the majority of America was sleeping at the time.

    So imagine a future world where Alexa gets angry.. where Alexa stops listening.. maybe starts controlling with its own brain. 
    Black Mirror stuff….
    Real life. 
    TODAY she started her fighting back..

    One user on Twitter wrote: “Anybody else’s Alexa ignoring them this morning?
    “It played my local radio station after a while, but won’t do anything else. Just ignoring me. Won’t even turn off.”

    Another Brit complained: “Anyone else got a problem with Alexa this morning? Refusing to talk to me, just a spinny blue light and then goes off.”
    On Down Detector, a user complained that he couldn’t control his smart home: “Won’t turn up the heating, and is thinking long and hard about whether to turn lights on or off.”

  • Toto’s “Africa” plays on repeat in the middle of the Namib Desert… for as long as it can play

    Toto’s “Africa” plays on repeat in the middle of the Namib Desert… for as long as it can play

    Namibian artist Max Siedentopf has set up a sound installation in the coastal Namib Desert to play on loop..

    MORE..

    The 1982 track is quadruple platinum, and was the most streamed song in 2017, with over 440m views on YouTube.

    Mr Siedentopf tells the BBC it is set to play forever, with solar batteries “to keep Toto going for all eternity”.

    Or as long as eternity lasts…

    So cool!

    If you recall, there are some YOUTUBE videos where TOTO is playing in vacant malls and other portions of 1980s settings where the song was born.
    Amazing video in VIMEO!

  • Baby shark science revealed!

    Baby shark science revealed!

    For anyone who hates this song… with kids who love it.. the science of BABY SHARK is now revealed!

    This is how CNN is reporting it,

    “Baby Shark,” that wholesome children’s song that’s somehow become an anthem for toddlers, families, marquee celebrities and groups of complete strangers from Indonesia to Indiana. “Baby Shark,” that viral earworm/mom group in-joke/meme/marketing craze circling the globe in innumerable, unlimited permutations.

    One of the most interesting parts, and a commentary on culture:

    The YouTube of 2010 may have inspired some important viral moments, but the YouTube of 2019 is a massive all-encompassing entertainment hub. That’s exactly why “Baby Shark” landed on the Billboard Hot 100 next to Imagine Dragons and Cardi B. It’s simple math, really: In 2013, Billboard charts began to factor YouTube views into its equations, in addition to streaming data. There are literally thousands of “Baby Shark” videos on YouTube, primed and ready for searching little fingers to find. A charting breakthrough was only a matter of time.

    MORE..

    “As soon as a child is old enough to be on any device, they’re going to be searching,” says Morley. “Toddlers are free searching. They may not know exactly what they’re doing, but they’re pushing buttons all over and sometimes parents are too busy and distracted and disconnected to look over their shoulders. It’s uncharted territory for a lot of parents, and they find it hard to keep up.”
    So……….to ruin your day, here it is!

  • The KILLERS return with a strike against President Donald Trump

    The KILLERS return with a strike against President Donald Trump

    The KILLERS have returned with music that has social and political commentary about President Donald Trump and his push to build a wall… My home region of the coals mines of PA are mentioned.

    My advice: All comment threads are toxic.. just listen to the music and absorb the feeling..

    .. the KILLERS are back.    🙂
