"In order for a man to do evil, he must first believe that what he is doing is good..."

.@grok can be an interesting conversational sparring partner... I find this exchange comparing German rationale for seizure of The Sudenteland and China's for seizing Taiwan particularly interesting. Perhaps unsettling. I'm still sort of mulling it over...

I am currenty physically angry at almost all of my in-progress paintings because they will not tell me what they want to be...
It's like having an unpleasant room mate that you want to go away...

still love watching this one... just beautiful cinematography among all the other things.
📺On November 11, 1960, CBS aired ‘The Twilight Zone’ episode ‘Eye of the Beholder,’ in which a woman lying in a hospital bed with her head wrapped in bandages awaits the outcome of her 11th and final state-approved surgery, a last-ditch attempt to make her look ‘normal’ in a society that demands conformity in appearance.
Written by Rod Serling, the episode featured Donna Douglas as the unmasked Janet Tyler and is widely regarded as one of the series’ best episodes

Not particularly specific to today. But I like to remind the earth of its existence, regularly... Thank you Vets, for being twice the man I ever was... #VeteransDay2026

I don't think anyone appreciates the scope of this victory, because from what I can tell, not even the pseudointellectuals or Financial Smarty Party People ever understood the intentions or realities of it....

This is true in America too... The gay act is used by the worst guys I knew as means of getting girls in compromising positions. The number of trans guys I know of that are also the rapiest men I was aware of is almost at a 1/1 ratio as well...
David Walliams and Matt Lucas once appeared on Russell Brand’s chat show. Matt Lucas told Brand and Walliams they were “the two gayest straight blokes there are.” Walliams replied, “Isn’t it a wonderful smokescreen?” and Brand agreed, “it’s glorious, It works wonderfully well.”
Were they dropping hints about their behaviour here? 🤔

Fun Fact: it was somewhere around this date that I tripped over a passed-out Cobain in a doorway at a house party on Bainbridge Island. Someone told me who it was, but it meant nothing to me... And that is my brush with greatness.
Raw footage of Nirvana playing “Blew” at an in-store at Rhino Records in Westwood, Los Angeles — June 23, 1989.
This was just eight days after Bleach came out. Still the early four-piece lineup with Chad Channing on drums and Jason Everman on second guitar. No big stages, no media circus… just a free show inside a record store.
Little did they know how big this band was about to become. ✨️

BB King is the only blues guy I ever liked...but I adore him.
B. B. King sets the record straight:
“When Elvis appeared he was already a big, big star. Remember this was the fifties so for a young white boy to show up in an all-black function took guts. I believe he was showing his roots and he seemed proud of those roots. After the show he made a point of posing for pictures with me treating me like royalty. He’d tell people I was one of his influences. I doubt whether that’s true but I like hearing Elvis give Memphis credit for his musical upbringing.
Back in 1972, Elvis helped me get a good gig at the Hilton Hotel while he was playing in the big theater. He put in a call for me and I worked in the lounge to a standing room only crowd. Elvis fans came in different colors but their love for good music was all the same. They were always a good audience.
Many nights I’d go upstairs after we finished our sets and go up to his suite. I’d play Lucille [King’s guitar] and sing with Elvis, or we’d take turns. It was his way of relaxing.
I’ll tell you a secret. We were the original Blues Brothers because that man knew more blues songs than most in the business - and after some nights it felt like we sang every one of them. But my point is, that when we were hanging out in the Hilton in the 70s, Elvis had not lost his respect, his ‘yes sir’, his love for all fields of music. And I liked that.”

best thing about missing persons was that if you ignored the gorgeous girl, and the pretty boys were hideous...you still had great songs
1983 this was peak life. Missing Person's were one of a kind and one of the best Drummers on the plant. This Woman got my attention at 12 years old. Changed my life this day,.
