Going into the weekend, nobody needs news about the president’s unapologetic apology or anything else in DC. Which is, in case you missed it, no longer the center of the universe. Even Third World capitals know we’re all lies and bullshit now. Time for something different, at least for a while.
Here’s interesting, an almost airtight miracle narrative from Santa Fe, New Mexico.
I learned about it on Don Wild’s Monumental Mysteries, and they did proffer a slender real world explanation. But they had no proof and the circumstances were still not inconsistent with miracle. Look it up and make up your own mind.
And here’s scandalous, a Red Carpet dress maybe not even Mylie Cyrus would wear.
Jaimie Alexander, star of the new Thor movie, at its premiere.
Yeah, here’s the NSFW real article. The thrill of looking combined with the thrill of indignation.
And here’s funny. The true story behind Monty Python’s Dead Parrot sketch. And Maggie Thatcher using it for her own purposes.
Which do you prefer? Or in these darkest of days, do we perhaps need all of them?
Personally, I can do without scandalous, but I’m all for interesting and funny. Can’t check these clips out until I get home, but I’m looking forward to it. Thank you.
In return, I’ll give you something…well, not interesting on the scale of a possible miracle. I suppose I’ll file it under funny. Yeah, that’s it.
You know how you mentioned the BBC’s obsession with inserting a way higher percentage of black people into the British population on TV than actually exist in real life? I’ve been watching the new Dr. Who series on Netflix (which I don’t recommend aside from a study on modern British culture, which I find interesting) and they even insert black people in large percentages into the past. Doesnt matter if it’s Shakepeare’s London, 16th Century Venice, or the American Old West.
That’s funny enough, but what’s also funny is the type of person totally absent from a lot of their programming (including Luther): muslims. An outside watcher of the BBC wouldn’t have a clue that Muhammad is the top or #2 name for baby boy’s in London. I’ve seen precisely one muslim so far in Dr. Who, and of course she was a liberated, uncovered woman doctor. Because that’s the first thing that comes to mind when I think of islam. All those female muslim doctors, especially in the middle east.
And, naturally, the vast majority of Brits in the distant future are all white, still sporting their cockney accents in deep space travel. Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt, as they say.
I think each of them is important. And I thoroughly enjoyed Mrs. Thatcher.
You’re not going to take the NSFW link, Tim? I congratulate you. Now you’re in the elite company of the four people who managed to enroll in ObamaCare in Delaware.
I’ll have all of the above, thanks, followed by a walk in the sunshine, a chat with my local newsstand owner, and a pleasant book of poetry. It’s a lovely Friday, and no mistake.
That it is.
Damn, that’s some kind of skanky dress. Doesn’t she know that you only give away stuff for free that isn’t worth having in the first place?
