Robin Williams on Craig Ferguson (2009, 2010, 2011, 2013)

(Craig’s one of the few comedians who could keep up with Robin.)

This is longer than an hour. The most I felt comfortable skipping over for you is 12 minutes.

From The Atlantic, IDEAS: Tucker Carlson, Unmasked

Excerpt:

Although Carlson makes a lot of ridiculous claims in a short period in this clip, it is his comments about children that are most disturbing. After complaining that mask mandates imposed by the state are equivalent to living in North Korea, Carlson executes two athletic rhetorical…

So how do we know that time is not already reversed? Or better question, why would one call either direction forward or reverse?

I’m trying to imagine how (say) science would work in reverse. Instead of making new observations and making discoveries, would scientists be working towards undiscovery? Or perhaps consciousness would disappear while…[Read more]

N95 while working on cleaning out a moldy old boat’s cabin

In my research I learned that mold can also raise CO2 and other gases (known as TVOCs). The CO2 I don’t worry about and I detest and resist the meter makers using scare tactics to sell CO2 sensing. I think TVOCs still aren’t much to worry about from molds… guess I’m j…[Read more]

It’s not silly or deadly. It doesn’t reduce the number of vaccines being given at any point in time. It’s just an emotional/ empathic response to a prioritization system that may leave people in greater need exposed to greater risk for longer.

This is exactly what I was thinking when I read the OP, so I don’t have to repeat it. (…[Read more]

One of the reasons I don’t have to post a lot is because @davis puts points I’ve thought of, so much more eloquently than I could. This perception of the position of Royalty is spot on.

a) most of us like the royalty and love the Queen. She’s been the Queen all my life – and I’m Dunkin Donuts senior discount eligible.

b) the Royalty sits as a ly…[Read more]

Why is it that the BBC and CBC etc. are so loved but that PBS and NPR are virtually ignored by most Americans (or even detested?).

I don’t know for sure, but think it’s just because of the polarization here, each side so anxious to demonize the other. I don’t watch MSNBC. But I’ll show my colors here and admit to believing that…[Read more]

I gave them a look during the siege on the capitol, and was favorably impressed. But that’s it, I’m afraid to see what they’re saying about CPAC.

In light of the story in the op, leaning worse, I guess.

More likely it’s that oppressed people stick together. The women, being the oppressed, were able to get together once a week or more, for church duties where they knit blankets for the poor whilst bitching about the men and working out better ways to ‘manage’ their husbands.

Any woman who truly believes the man is the head of the household, a…[Read more]
