    2022 AND WHERE IT GOT US

    THE YEAR IN REVIEW

    2022 AND WHERE IT GOT US

    Didn’t we just do this?

    No .. seriously.. didn’t we just have a 2021 year in review?
    Actually wasn’t it the 2020?

    All of this is just blurring together in a sea of madness and confusion! The months add up fasters than days at times. Even those longer moments of your existence seem to just fly by in a blaze of glory. Or an inglorious bastard..

    2022 is fascinating in the way it transpired.. it was labeled with hope and but was buttoned up in the end with confusion. There was little purpose or theme to the meandering of time.

    After all, let’s consider it.. In 2020 when the ‘world changed’ we knew how it did. FOR THE WORSE.. shutdowns and pandemic fears became so viral than the virus itself stopped being scary, but our behavior and responses to it and each other became even more dangerous..

    2021’s new ‘story’ was about hope and change–the year began with that riot at the Capitol and continued with vaccine fever: The only way to get back to normal, we were told, was to be jabbed. And rejabbed. And post-jabbed.

    So in 2022 things were meant to be alright, right?
    The kids.. the adults. We were all supposed to be alright.
    But nothing seems alright.

    As a matter of fact, the economy just seems shaky. Inflation is beyond anything we have seen–people can argue about whether it is corporate greed or government overreach. Either way it hurts. And COVID? Yea.. that’s back. In case you did not notice, it appears the triple boosted just can’t stop catching it. None of it was supposed to be like this, right?

    Meanwhile nuclear Armageddon seems like, with a chance of meatballs.

    THIS is our 2022 reality. Just a sea of high strangeness in the middle of multiple stretches of lands of confusion.

    We may have made it through. But many of us may be better off asking for a refund..

  • Happy solstice .. the sun is set to rise again.

    Happy solstice .. the sun is set to rise again.

    This is the solstice, the still point
    of the sun, its cusp and midnight,
    the year’s threshold
    and unlocking, where the past
    lets go of and becomes the future;
    the place of caught breath, the door
    of a vanished house left ajar…

    Man with WWI explosive lodged in his rectum sparks bomb scare, hospital evacuation

    They reassured us by telling us that it was a collector’s item from the First World War, used by the French military,” the hospital stated.

    Stunned doctors subsequently began the process of trying to remove the object — which measured almost 8 inches long and more than 2 inches wide — from the man’s rectum.

    It is surmised that the man inserted the explosive into his rectum for sexual gratification. And now the world knows his secrets..

  • ELON MUSK: TAKE THIS TWEET AND SHOVE IT

    ELON MUSK: TAKE THIS TWEET AND SHOVE IT

    The CEO has spoken.. days after his poll asking people if he should resign as CEO of Twitter, he shocked the world again with another Tweet> He will resign when he finds someone .. foolish enough to take the job!!

    Musk may have had the laugh at the voters expense? Or was it never real to begin with.

    After all .. it’s the socials.. IS ANYTHING REAL!?

    Meanwhile Tom, our old best friend from Myspace, is waiting in the wings..

  • All eyes on Musk

    All eyes on Musk

    All eyes on Twitter this morning as Elon musk, most likely, we assume, or somehow addressed the pole that he posted Sunday night.

    Maybe many were spambots. But 17 million votes later, an overwhelming majority of people or users in this situation have told Musk to leave.

    Developing..

  • Musk Tweet Mayhem: Will he step down!!?

    Musk Tweet Mayhem: Will he step down!!?

    He may be a controversial billionaire.. but no one could call Elon Musk boring.

    Just when the weekend before Christmas seemed short of big news, Elon Musk typed something and launched a poll: Should he step down!?

    He is asking users on Twitter to vote. And he said he will abide by the results!

    He went on to subsequently post a few more interesting tidbits and hints..

    But he also said be careful what you wish for.. you may get it!

    But get what?

    Intrigue abounds..

    The poll comes after he was spotted meeting with Jared Kushner at the World Cup Final in Qatar.

    But.. another Tweet response has Musk saying there is no successor chosen ..

    “Twitter CEO Elon Musk and former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner were spotted enjoying the 2022 FIFA World Cup final on Sunday at Lusail Stadium in Lusail, Qatar,” reported The Hill. “…Kushner was seen standing next to Musk at the game.”

    “The former White House adviser, who is married to former President Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump, was seen at other World Cup matches as well, including the United States’ World Cup match against England with the Trump family.”

    All of this after a day of live Tweeting videos of the World Cup as Argentina took the championship–and sustaining controversy after a new policy was announced that you cannot promote your other social media accounts on Twitter..

    DEVELOPING–MAYBE WITHIN HOURS..

  • Do you remember this Sears ad ? It lived rent free for years

    Do you remember this Sears ad ? It lived rent free for years

    We do!

    As a matter of fact once we heard the opening line we recalled the advertisement and the entire series of lines!

    What seems evident is that the marriage or relationship of the main characters in the ad was falling apart.

    The heat was a metaphor for their connection. The implication was that Sears was so powerful it would be able to provide the materials to save their relationship.

    And all these years later I can still recite the dialogue like I just heard it. But yet all these years I didn’t even remember I remembered it.

    Weird how that happens.

  • Avatar’s long hours: Who is going to see it?

    Avatar’s long hours: Who is going to see it?


    The box office media will be quick to judge that 20th Century Studio/Disney’s Avatar: The Way of Water is coming in under its projections, with an opening day of $53M, and 3-day of $130M-$150M.

    Projections were between $150M-$175M. That’s far off from the opening day of last December’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, which is the second- highest grossing opening day ever at $121.9M, as well as that pic’s opening weekend at $260.1M, which is also the second-highest ever.

    image

    Avatar: The Way of Water easily gets an “A” CinemaScore, the same grade as its first film 13 years ago. PostTrak is still 5 stars, 91% with men at 58%, women at 42%. Men over 25 are the biggest quad at 36% (89% grade), followed by women over 25 at 24% (93% grade), men under 25 at 21% (89% grade), and women under 25 at 19% (94% grade) — arguably a great hearty turnout for each demo. Diversity demo update on Comscore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak audience exits are 33% Caucasian, 27% Hispanic, 17% Black, 15% Asian and 8% Other.\

    x x x

    The movie is relying on a ‘Christmas feeling,’ hopeful that people will bring families and friends.. But it’s long as well. It’s a whole day out..

    With previews: 4 hours strong.

    $150 mil.. just a few hundred more to make up the Billion it cost to make.

    Coach Didier Deschamps said earlier Saturday the team were taking action to stop the spread of illness, which has affected a number of players.

    Central defensive pair Raphael Varane and Ibrahima Konate missed training on Friday, along with winger Kingsley Coman, while midfielder Adrien Rabiot and defender Dayot Upamecano did not play in Wednesday’s semi-final win over Morocco.
