Hot Ones - Vegan Wings with Spicy Russell Brand
I find myself equally charmed and irritated by Russell Brand. It's a strange feeling.

Van Jones interview with Bill Maher (12 Feb 2017)
Could three be a charm? [sorry RedSky]
and a 1 ..2 ... *length=43:59
USA and russian relations at a "most dangerous moment"
Pretty much interview scripted by Putin personally.
Why the drama about US - russian relations if the russians supposedly are not dangerous and Putin is not evil.
Building a case to sell Poland and the Baltic countries to Putin. Worked like a charm with Hitler and Czechoslovakia before WWII. Poland these days does not even have a border with Russia proper, only with what used to be Koenigsberg. Poland is part of NATO and if Abby and her friend the professor want to give that up then it is them who are pushing us all closer to a war (cold or not).
Ukraine has already exploded. Putin has already taken 1/3 of the country breaking bilateral treaties. Cant get much worse, hard to imagine how the US can get involved, Trump notwithstanding.
Syria - its basically over, except for the humanitarian and human rights catastrophe. Putins ally won - a slightly pyrrhic victory perhaps, but for the meantime Assad stays. Did they level cities or liberate them? Hard to tell the difference. Probably both. That said US involvement in the middle east is a grave shitstorm.
This awesome "analysis" somehow misses the biggest current problem of NATO - Turkey - possibly because Putin does not have a good handle on Turkey yet so its off-limits. Also Pakistan/India and North Korea does not get a mention for the same reason - no chance to push Putins agenda.
NATO might have reassured Gorby it had no intention to spread. It is important to understand that Warsaw pact countries generally accepted Russians as saviours from German occupation, by the 1970s this had changed firmly to perceiving Russians as occupants, political persecutors and economic idiots.
After the economic collapse of the USSR (supposedly somehow caused by Ronald Reagan :-) all these countries needed reassurance that the Russians were not coming back. The only possible reassurance was joining NATO. If that meant breaking a promise made to an ex-representative of a no longer existing country, that is fine by me. If NATO had promised not to spread to Mother Theresa I would be more concerned.
The problem with the Ukraine is that we (EU) made an offer that put them in danger (from Putin) and we could not back that up with real economic or military assistance. Dumb move. But also Ukrainian politics is an incredible mess and simply too many ethnic russians live there giving Putin a strong nationalist base.
Roger Waters - "Pigs (Three Different Ones)"
I thought this was going to be a charming reminder of old times, but man, is he still angry.
Seems to be enjoying throwing himself at one more wall.
Obamacare in Trump Country
Not that i doubt your very charming old-timey anecdotal evidence, but spending a few minutes on google and you'll find... you know... actual data.
Conservative sites will point to how much 'blue' states spend on welfare, ignoring entirely the differences in population, as well as the fact that far and away the poorest counties with the highest percentage of welfare recipients are indeed in red states. As well as states in general, who per capita have the most welfare recipients. It really isn't even close.
Don't take my word for it...
In my experience, in general country folk are very independent folk and are generally self reliant. If you want to find locations in the USA where people thrive off of governmental handouts, pick up a map that shows all the blue counties/parishes/districts/etc.
Cool Judge Being Fair and Reasonable
The defendant was equally calm, reasonable, polite and charming, just a couple of gentlemen squaring away an unpleasant incident. I'd actually watch a program that focused on a courtroom like that.
Black Forest Cake... yum!
Four years later and I still find this to be sweetly charming.

Tom Hanks Crashes Our Wedding
It seems Tom Hanks is just as charming in real life as you'd imagine he'd be, which is delightful.

Hand Printed Wallpaper (1963)
The dorkiness of this video makes it charming...wood grain wallpaper, don't get a splinter.
Penn Jillette on many many things
psychotic power hungry people have always ruled the world and it's really difficult to stop them because they're sneaky lying fucks that can say anything they want and have a mass of idiot supporters back them?
people that aren't ruthless lying scum, on the other hand, get taken advantage of and have no hope of changing the world because they're not sneaky enough to charm the masses?

No Man's Sky Expectations Vs. Reality
People love sandbox survival and they love space exploration and they fell in love with the idea of what this game could be. The magazines talked about it like evangelical christians talk about the rapture - this is the end of gaming as we know it and it's going to change everything! And the internet fandom descended with prepubescent fury on anyone that dared suggest the emperor was, in fact, nekkid.
This long video about NMS covers it extremely well, but i'll cut a long story short. There was something veeery slightly disingenuous about the moratoriums placed on reviews, lack of pre-release review versions, and significant backtracking and retconning of promises made by lead designer(? - but definite spokesperson) Sean Murray. The clean cut, well spoken, awkwardly charming Sean Murray. Who I think understood as the release date got closer that a lot of people were not going to be happy with him, because in his interviews he started to look more and more like De Niro playing Russian roulette in The Deer Hunter.
Extra things that immediately pissed me off before i refunded it:
- Menu stuff can appear offscreen if you open it by the edges in 2016
- Can't alt tab in full screen
- Run in borderless window to solve it, performance hit
- i7 6700k, Maximus viii Hero mobo and a GTX 1080 but yes, performance hit and general poor performance anyway
- Can't bind actions to thumb buttons in 2016
- Mouse sensitivity goes from 0 to 100. Changing my sensitivity from 100 to 0 didn't even half the turning speed in game, I had to alt tab to manually change the DPI in razer synapse, which is where i discovered i couldn't alt-tab.
All this for £40? Overwatch cost £30.
They made a lot of money off this, but I'm afraid for me they did it through unfair means. If you check out the quotes from Murray and what the game actually is, there's a huge disparity and the backtracking as release date approached was the final evidence.
