Hand chuckled then nervously glanced down at the six fingers on his hand.

Heh holy shit. I’ll never unsee that.

Do something

This has been a message I’ve been playing in heavy rotation for months on social media on the local and state level every time conservative candidates, politicians, PACs, and committees complain about what liberals are doing. Others have as well.

I distinctly remember a cool high school teacher of mine in the 80s predict this exact event, and I’m 90% sure he guessed “early 2020s.”

I casually get into the theory that Kubrick faked the landings. Rob Ager / Collative Learning on YouTube has a lot of deep Kubrick videos that are fun to watch, although he intentionally stays clear of the fake landing theories. Nonetheless, he’s got some great videos that talk about how 2001 was propaganda to get Americans used to the idea of going to space. It’s not a stretch to say 2001 was a companion piece to the fake landing.

For fuck’s sake stop watching that crap. It’s one half of Bread and Circuses (both if you got popcorn, soda, and candy).

That open mouth soy “smile” has been bothering me more and more. It’s obviously over the top fake, as if they’re even trying to convince themselves that they’re happy, let alone others. But there’s more to it that I can’t put my finger on. Like the sign of a mass hypnosis. Or if I were to make a sci-fi movie about a parasite controlled population, I might depict them with these weird expressions.

Yeah, only one country is allowed to have nationalist people, and it ain’t us.

I graduated about 10 years after you.

Someone who graduated in the 70s posted dozens of pictures from my high school on Facebook once.

Something that stood out was that high schoolers in the 70s looked almost like adults. It wasn’t the style, it was their look. Comparing that to 80s grads, we all looked a little younger. The kids in high school (and even college) now look like children.

Maybe this is a perception from just being older, but my wife and I swear that something (vaccines, preservatives in foods, environment, whatever) is stunting kid’s growth more and more each decade.

My favorite part of the movie was when the hero took a two week vacation then someone who looked like him went on Ellen.

I was a teen during the scare. I have such vivid memories of my media-brainwashed mother’s anxiety over me doing normal teenage straight dating because I might catch AIDS.

Fast forward a few decades and she won’t let my wife and I come visit because we’re not vaccinated.

There’s no way you can convince me that Andy Kaufman has the time to play both characters.

I **always * think about that. As much as I hate the idiot tube, when we had 3 networks, everyone modeled their behavior after characters from one of a dozen TV shows. It was sick but it was community. Then as more channels appeared on cable then satellite,, the more people grew apart.
