Odd Musings About the French Language
I completely failed when I tried to learn French many decades ago. So I had to laugh when I stumbled across this Twitter...Two things combined here: music reaction and this sea shanty thing which I’m seeing/hearing for the first time. You can experience both here. Enjoy, this is delightful. www.youtube.com/watch

Because. We. Can.
Predictions: 1. Bernie Sanders parka is selling like hotcakes. 2. Within 24 hours copies of Michelle Obama’s outfit and Amanda Goreman’s yellow coat will be for sale on Amazon. 3. Print copies of @TheAmandaGoreman will sell out. 4. Lady Gaga’s dove broach will also get cloned.
Seeing Fmr Presidents getting together. They are members of a very exclusive club. They all have carried the burden of the office where almost every decision you make has rewards but also life and death consequences. It ages them. Only they understand the stress of office.
I loved the old Supermarionation (puppet) shows Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds and more as a kid. Now there is Nebula-75 lovingly filmed in the same way in an apt. during Covid lockdown w/ 4 episodes on Youtube w/ more to come.
Gah! I’ve been doing nothing but doomscrolling since Jan. 6th and neglecting reading, writing and other tasks. It will be nice to get to a place where every day isn’t some new train wreck and back to a world of pics of cats, puppies and unicorns farting glitter.
I’ve watched a couple of young people react to the Lord of the Rings movies. People who have never seen the movies nor read the books react. So far I really like the reactor: ur weirdo friend cass who has now done all 3. Good questions and keeps notes.
Random: Trump moving to Florida. That makes him a Floridaman.
First use: Presto Pizzazz Plus rotating pizza oven. Tried it with a frozen pizza tonight and much to my surprise it really worked. Worked well in fact. My weekly lockdown pizza night will continue. Made in Indonesia. Includes a manual. Simple to use.
Russians. Espionage. Nogoodnicks.
Over 7 billion people on the planet and we have only 2 major mobile operating syatems: Android and iOS. That is pathetic and unacceptable. And don’t get me started about having only 2 major, crawling, English language search engines. Again, pathetic and unacceptable.
My oven just quit. Sure, sure let’s wait till the middle of a pandemic surge to crap out. I’ll deal with it after the pandemic. Meantime, I ordered a countertop electric pizza oven thingy since I mainly used the oven for frozen pizzas.
I wonder if Trump has pre-printed, fill in the blank, pads for pardons?
Where is Giuliani skulking these days? Somebody keep watch on Giuliani.
So now our main worry is that Trump does not get us into a war or drive the US off a cliff in the next 10 days. Or that we don’t get attacked by enemy countries, because all US Gov Departments are being run by junior ppl 5 levels down the the ladder.
On what is happening in the USA: Here is the perspective of a South African. There is a lot of truth in what he has to say. www.youtube.com/watch
In the days after 9/11 the Feds were kicking in doors all over and arresting anyone remotely suspected of involvement in the attacks and then frog marching them off to Gitmo. Here’s a list of were to start www.bbc.com/news/5557… Commence kicking.
The State of New York is sending National Guard troops to Washington DC, joining Maryland and Virginia. Interesting.
It’s not clear who exactly, is in charge of the USA right now.
The leaders of this coup attempt should be sent to Guantanamo Bay detention camp.
I’m feeling a lot better knowing that Democrats will gain control of the US Senate. Normally, I would be a little uncomfortable having a pastor being elected to the Senate, but not this time, I think we need more people with a moral compass in Washington just now.
