When Speaking in Tongues is a Banger
I assume banger is the appropriate term used these days. I feel very old and weird using the word.
True Stories: Papa Legba
*doublepromote some *quality weirdness
I saw True Stories twice in theaters. Liked it enough to buy the companion book.
Sad they didn’t include any of the fashion show in this.
What Do You Know About Female Anatomy
It was a mock American SAT exam (although I'm a Canadian, and I took the test in a Canadian boarding school right at a border town on Quebec/Maine named Stanstead College). My beef wasn't really with the teacher originally, I just thought the SAT was weird to have such a math question, so I justed wanted to point out there are 2 right answers, and 1 interesting philosophical argument to be had depending of how you look at d)... about how the question/answers were flawed. But with her answer, I couldn't but sneer and thought she was just clueless (instead of both of us had a laugh at the Q... while sipping tea? Stanstead College had a very British tradition).
As she was not the dunce who drafted that stupid question, I was not going to fight her for an inconsequential demerit (on my part or SAT?), nor find it worthwhile to pursuit the higher-ups for a correction.
I say “b” is the “right” answer as it’s more inclusive and includes “c”. Always choose the correct answer with the larger set. (Unless the instructions say choose the CLOSEST answer)
Sometimes in similar cases I would write in “E) both B and C” and be prepared to debate it.
If the teacher refused to consider both answers were correct, I would take it to the administration and get credit (and an apology).
This happened more than once to me in school.
California is Running Out of Water
What do they mean “running out”? We’ve been out of water for decades.
As bad as this sounds, I think he’s under selling the problem big time.
Federal officials announced in February that California farmers will get no federal water this year, zero (that’s the Central Valley Project), while the state has allocated agriculture only 15% of normal from its distribution systems.
Meanwhile the state has also demanded agricultural water districts and cities stop diverting water from rivers and streams along the San Joaquin River. This includes 200 cities in and around the Bay Area, like San Francisco which gets up to 85% of its water from those rivers and streams.
Some rivers and streams in California have stopped flowing, all have reduced flow. The Mad River, just blocks from me, is usually 6-8’ deep bank to bank (75-100’) for at least 6 months out of each year, the last 3 years it never reached its banks and remained a shallow stream all winter, becoming a creek in summer. It is abnormal, most rivers are worse off.
Aquifers have already been depleted so much that the entire Central Valley is sinking rapidly. Reservoirs are WELL below 50%, despite what this clip said (Shasta is reporting at 40% today, but driving over it it looks like maybe 10-20% full with no inflow).
So far this year along, over 1000 residential wells have gone dry. This includes many entire communities losing their drinking water supplies completely. The number of agriculture wells that can no longer function is uncountable. It’s estimated we will lose 2700 drinking water wells this year state wide.
The California water problem isn’t a pressing future issue, it’s an ongoing unmitigated disaster we’ve ignored for far too long. At this point, it’s likely insurmountable, and a collapse of California agriculture will make today’s inflation seem like the good old days when average workers could afford to eat. Start a garden, it’s going to get weird.

Little Big - Everybody (Little Big Are Back)
Good lord. Okay millennial.
I guess it's a parody, but it feels like one cringe ontop of another over and over.
Edit
upon further inspection, some of their work is less shite https://youtu.be/1t_sMynan_k
Edit 2
I'd give up watching any other videos they make ever again if i just never have to see that weird person with the black lips that knows it looks weird so he like makes that face over and over where he bears his teeth like my dog.

weird trick they taught the dog but the dog does it well.
JUSTICE On 'n' On (F'in AMAZING)
Well that's weirdly coincidental you bringing up Alan Parsons. I just so happened to have been listening to my APP playlist today while running. I Robot (the song) always puts me in the zone. I still like this song, probably because it reminds me in some way of progressive rock music of my youth. I'll take what i can get.
Maybe more to your liking https://videosift.com/video/Alan-Parsons-Project-I-Robot
Song is very genereric, and a very poor Alan parsons ripoff. I don’t get it.
Demi Moore Does One Armed Push-Ups!
I also had no idea about her alopecia, and don’t care. She has the resources to buy wigs indistinguishable from her real hair if it mattered, but I don’t see why it should. She looks fine bald, why get upset over nothing?!
I had hair below my ass in my 20’s, then cut it to 1/4 inch long one day when my hairline started retreating, now I shave it. I’m lucky my head looks ok bald, because I have little choice these days.
Nothing wrong with being weird, lots wrong with being normal or average. Let your freak flag fly!
I though so too. Watching the red carpet segment just before the Oscars, both my wife & I were talking about how great Jada looks bald (we don't pay attention to celebrity news, and we had no idea she got Alopecia before the slapping scandal).
I went bald once (accidentally) and due to the shape of my head, bald just doesn't look good on me, so I kind of envious of people like Jada, the Rock, etc. I'm weird I know.

Better than I could do in my prime.
I think she looks pretty good…I thought Jada looked good too. Makes me wonder why “looking forward to GI Jane 2” was seen as an insult.
Unless you have a weird shaped head, bald is beautiful.

Endurance wreck: Lost ship found off Antarctic
who decided to film it this way? I dont mean to complain...but i wanted ... idk... to see more of something that would give me a sense of scale of the ship maybe with some close ups where an old timey sailor carved his name into the deck...
Instead its some weird still shots from a distance with slow zoom and i cant fucking hear what the water sounds like because all i can hear is this crazy EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE awWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
That said, I still liked seeing the ship.
