My words exactly almost every time I check my news feed. (Hence why I do not want Elon Musk to buy the remaining 91% of Twitter as it would release the beast, hint: starts with a "T" and ends with a "rump"). While I do like the idea of enlarging the supreme court, I think that will take a generation or even longer. We need to move faster. This means (unfortunately I have to be partisan in this) voting out as many Republican U.S. senators and U.S. representatives as quickly as possible. This is of course under the assumption that Republicans will not publicly exit the cult which currently controls most of them. Damn, I am so OLD that I remember voting for the person I believe could do the job best, whether Republican or Democrat. That makes me so OLD and so SAD.
Posted to Gold Shaw Farm (RE: Goslings and Ducklings) uploaded to You Tube 07/04/2022
While I do enjoy all Gold Shaw Farm videos, the videos featuring babies are my favorites. A long time ago I had 2 pet (Toulouse) geese, Henry and Henrietta. They were young, but almost fully grown, when I got them. Henry adored me and followed me around like a puppy. Henrietta detested me. Occasionally she would even try to attack me. Henry would stand between us, not attack either of us while blocking all of Henrietta's lunges until she got bored and wandered off. I always thought that was ingenious even generous behavior. I have used this technique with my cats at meal time, when one would try to steal the other's food. I would sit between the two cats, doing and saying nothing. After about a week, no food stealing when both cats were present (all bets were off if one cat was snoozing). Loved the goose-cam although Mama Goose was really mad concerning her personal space being violated for a while!

I appreciate this reading. No negativity at the messenger (antphrodite). This reading sounds like the U.S. Supreme Court is a combo of Game of Thrones, a plutocracy with a large dose of bureaucracy. I had previously thought the Court was operating at a higher moral and intellectual level than the rest of the government. I am so wrong. If eligible, we need to vote. Unfortunately we have to play the long game as the top reason for supreme court member exits is death or retirement.
Posted to DUI Guy (RE: Community post on policeman interrogation) You Tube 07/03/2022
While abuse by police is well-documented, I believe it is relatively low compared to the number who misjudge a situation due to bad training or simply never should have become police officers due to temperament or intellect. I can supply no statistics or links, but I would be willing to guess that incompetence and misjudgment harm or kill more people (then aggression) by those who are supposedly in charge of maintaining safety and protection of the public.

THANK YOU antphrodite! Do more readings like this, although I am guessing the, who is dating who (whom?) videos probably pull in the bigger numbers on You Tube and Insta.
Ironically, this reading, in a method probably not sanctioned/verified by science, has given us a somewhat realistic description of a particular scientific site's methods and motives. That being said, I am getting slight Prometheus (the 2012 movie) vibes. 😉
posted to Dr. JohnCampbell (RE:Excess deaths not directed attributed to COVID) You Tube 07/06/2022
Each death represents a loss to a family, a friend group and a community, so my guess in no way minimizes this tragedy. However I left several periodic checkups with medical and dental caretakers off my schedule until very recently. I can only assume that others in less than ideal health or with financial issues and of course personal losses are creating this statistical variance. Also "long covid" may have put people already at a borderline regarding health at risk for catastrophic medical incidents. PLEASE, Dr. Campbell keep us informed regarding these statistics. While additional stress is obviously not what any of us need, we do need as much data as possible to make daily decisions regarding our life in a (hopefully) endemic environment.
Posted to John Campea (RE: Lightyear movie low performance) uploaded to You Tube 07/06/2022
I agree with the panel. Pixar tried to make a Buzz Lightyear origin story and (I am guessing) Disney execs thought a space adventure with a touch of "Darth" (tried to make a pun, dark and "Darth"?😕 ) might prove to be a financially successful offshoot from its Toy Story IP. Those in charge should have just made two movies. Almost seems like this was a quid pro quo due to the different administrative levels of Disney corporate. Another Chapek-related issue due that extra layer of bureaucracy that he installed at Disney? Guess we will never know.

At this point I know way more than I should concerning the emotional and physical pain these two people inflicted upon one another in their relationship. I do not need to know more, however I will go with the majority of the viewers of this channel in regards to additional analysis.
Future OBSERVE suggestion:
Just for laughs, (very hollow ones), I would be interested in seeing an analysis of the body language of political candidates running for gubernatorial office in places like Arizona, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi. I can see how that might not interest international viewers of this channel so maybe throw in Boris Johnson (prime minister of The United Kingdom), Justin Trudeau (prime minister of Canada) and let's not leave out Vladimir Putin, dicta (oops I mean) President of Russia.
Posted to Breakfast All Day/community page (RE: Thor Love and Thunder) uploaded to You Tube 07/08/2022
Good morning, Breakfast friends. How pumped are you for THOR: LOVE AND THUNDER this weekend? We'll have a review later today.
Extremely pumped. More Thor, please.43%
Could not care less. Having superhero fatigue.57%
Not sure I will be in theater this weekend, but yes I am looking forward to this movie. I hear that it is funny. I like the actors. I love Taika Waititi (director and co-writer). Also, I could use entertainment that takes me out of reality into a warm, fuzzy and creative place. In a different time, I would have said Avatar 2, but you know...it's Cameron. That's fine, I am leaving my future great great grandchildren a note saying, "See the movie, it builds a fascinating world with really attractive aliens who cooperate with their environment and avoid corporations." What's not to love?
Posted to Bernadette Banner (RE: Mary Poppins' Jolly Holiday Dress) uploaded to You Tube 07/09/2022
Ironically as I was watching the "birth" of such a beautiful piece of wearable art, I was removing sequins, glittery items and assorted beads from a thrifted black dress that deserved better treatment during its creation. I hope to give it a second, more stylish life. Thanks to Bernadette for being one of several examples online that inspire me to create (well actually uncover) a new garment from an old one.

Gay Horse, is my new spirit animal. I can only hope to attain even a microgram of Gay Horse's beauty, grace and serenity in my daily life. And to Eugene, the spirit daddy of Gay Horse, I have only awe, amazement and adoration to bestow to the greatness that is Eugene...seriously The Try Guys all showed considerable artistic talent and enormous amount of self-deprecating humor. That is why I come to this channel.❤️🌈🦄
Posted to Jackson Galaxy (RE: Cats communicating with humans...the meow) uploaded to You Tube 07/09/2022
An odd (maybe its typical?) similarity between my 2 cats and my guinea pig, is that they will get my attention, then tip their head in the direction of a food/water container, then look me directly in my eyes. My chinchilla is more passive/aggressive. When she determines that I have not done my job (aka hay is low, chew toys are all chewed and food dish is needs filling) she will toss something heavy at cage door such as a dish or a chewed stick. She will run to a corner of the cage to peek out to see if I noticed or reacted. It always amuses me when people say "my pets, my cats, my animals". We are body and soul under their control.
Posted to Guilty Pleasures -Try Pods (RE: Minions [2015]) uploaded to You Tube 07/10/2022
THANK YOU for reviewing this particular guilty pleasure movie. This movie is such a guilty pleasure I cannot even discuss it in public...with friends! People are aghast, horrified and even angry that I love this movie. I get blank looks as if I have mentioned the unthinkable, the unimaginable and that which should not be spoken aloud. Admittedly I have only seen the 2015 movie not the 2022 film "The Rise of Gru". So perhaps my guilty pleasure remains with the 2015 movie.
BTW I have posted a link to this review on my FB page. Now yes, I am hardly ever on FB, (aka the Meta-verse, who says MK isn't delusional and narcissistic), but small steps towards admitting my feelings, right?
Posted to Uncivil Law (RE: Jen Shaw conviction/sentencing agreement) You Tube 07/11/2022
I know schadenfreude is not an attractive trait. I also know that even telemarketers have to feed their families. However, the conviction and sentencing of the people in charge of releasing this suffocating spewing of spam to raise the balances of their off-shore bank accounts, do not engender much sympathy from me.
Posted to MedCram (RE: Rare Instance of Vitamin D overdose) uploaded to You Tube 07/08/2022
This was a very fair representation of a very rare case. Thank you for the information. I also take vitamin D supplements in safe and monitored (by an annual physical) manner. Ultimately we have to advocate for ourselves regarding health care. Knowing what to avoid, knowing what is normal or excessive and being conscious plus articulate about conveying how we are physically is extremely valuable data to have.
Posted to Little Adventures (RE: Guinea Pigs out of control) uploaded to You Tube 07/12/2022
You know you are a long time companion with a guinea pig when you clean an area, immediately a pig poops in that area resulting in philosophical consternation by the human. My question, "Couldn't you have waited at least until I left the room" always goes unanswered, but occasionally results in a perplexed look on the perpetrator's face. I just know that pig is thinking, I come here for food not commentary. 😉
