That therapist looks like she is going to need some therapy.

Fiction minus manipulation. Gee… I wonder how that would work(?).

I’ll bet you’ve seen this one before. In case you’re feeling down recently, this might help? (I did a search to see if it’s been linked to here before, but I didn’t see one.)

Turn on captions, and set translation to Auto, English.

And then from a mature therapist’s perspective…

I think I watched the trailer before because of Natalie being in it, but didn’t follow through. The audio effects alone were “manipulative”, and I mean it sets people up for dread. Very effectively, IMO. I’m just not into that. But I do generally like dark movies, especially dark comedies.

So “no” to your question again. This movie is obvious…[Read more]

BTW, in case you’re clueless as to what Annihilation is all about, here is a trailer. It is based on a best-selling novel of the same name. It is sci fi, but it is very intelligent sci fi.

I was never into horror flicks, unless it had lots of boobs.

Well, Natalie Portman, one of my very favorite actresses (and for me, a sex symbol as well), doesn’t deliver in that department.

At least the swamp is getting cleaned out! On the bright side, there seems to be a few leopards roaming about 🙂

Toys

My daughter, you must care for your toys,

Poor things, they’re even smaller than you.

Every night, when the fire goes to sleep,

Cover them with the stars of the tree.

Let the golden pony graze

The cloudy sweetness of the field.

Lace up the little boy’s boots

When the sea-eagle blows cold.

Tie a straw hat on your doll

And put a bel…[Read more]

Even religious people don’t trust Religious Institutions while members of the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party are deeply troubled by Trump’s quasi-messianic status.

@PopeBeanie – Yes, Once I got my teeth sunk into it, there was over 400 years of research to investigate. Or is it 500? At times it felt like I had bitten off more than I could chew. Alas, I don’t chew much anymore. It was a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Thankful, none of it was mine!

Not for me. But maybe people who often suffer from panic attacks? Many people’s normal condition is to never feel like they’re in control. Plus loss of control can be kinda contagious at times, contributing to mass hysteria. I think people like Trump know how to trigger it.

Can we count people prone to psychosis?

That is good.

Sidenote, and revealing my geeky side, the mechanism they’re talking about whereby a fertilized egg (aka zygote) eventually becomes male or female is governed by epigenetics.

According to a Trump executive order defining gender, we’re ALL female. Yup… you read that right. We’re all women whether we like it or don’t.

At Costco’s annual meeting on Thursday, 98 percent of shareholders rejected an anti-D.E.I. proposal, according to preliminary vote results. The vote came two days after President Trump released an executive order directing government agencies to investigate D.E.I. programs at publicly traded corporations.

President Trump said on Friday that he had terminated taxpayer-financed security protection for Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the infectious disease specialist who led the nation through the coronavirus pandemic and received death threats after becoming a target of conservatives.

The move, which took effect on Thursday might, made Dr. Fauci the latest…[Read more]
