Columbine




With any tragedy, we want to immediately assess blame so that we can distance ourselves from the source of the tragedy. Directly following the blamed targets comes its publication in all digital and print media. It is a small amount, but I have noticed a few in the media not giving the shooter's facebook image and murder stats quite as readily as had been done in the past. Also helpful would not be necessarily arming individuals in the field of education who do not have the training of soldiers or police, but assisting these teachers, counselors, coaches and administrators to recognize mental illness or aberration. Weapons are a bandaid, but knowledge can provide both the cure and prevention.

Picard

a series in CBS All Access streaming service

Episode 1:


I think that the Picard series episode one attempted to link off of Star Trek: Nemesis,  not the best one in the series. Perhaps this episode tried a little too hard. When the series is completed, we'll see if Star Trek returns to its 24th (maybe 25th century if Picard goes a 2nd season) roots. Hang onto your tricorders, tribbles, and communicators. Cross your phasers and your fingers, there are 9 more episodes so maybe it will all work out.

COLLIDER CANCELS SHOWS - new release 01/02/2020

While maybe the shows were not economically sustainable, I did enjoy the Collider of "old" ("old" defined as being approximately 24 hours ago as of this comment) mixing online personalities with entertainment industry data. The reason I no longer watch much of "conventional" news is the talking head effect. I might as well just read it myself, without the makeup, stylized wardrobe and bright lights. I just hope that that Marc Fernandez had reached out to deliver the bad news way before the news release. Those talented, funny and charismatic people deserved at least that much respect.
