The Vulva, Vagina, and Clit, Oh My!
AWESOME and interesting yes, but incredibly uncomfortable to talk about, so quite NSFW, IMHO.
Deck The Halls With Sabbath

pretty well played, who would have thunk?
Sigur Rös - Hopípolla + bloody nose
I was a bit worried this is an outtake from that, but I dont think it is? I promise to watch the whole thing ASAP :-)
Love this. *promote
If you like Sigur Ros and you haven't seen their documentary Heima, i'd recommend watching.

Different kind of happy but the translation makes more sense than I expected.
To be fair, Iceland has upgraded what passes for “happy” music….

The Return | The Book of Boba Fett | Disney+
Its weird.
I will certainly watch both Dune and Boba Fett.
I consiously avoid seeing anything about Dune (or any movie I might see at a n actual cinema) but I watch all the Star Wars trailers.
Howzat?
The Matrix Resurrections – Official Trailer 2
I dont watch movie previews if I plan to see the movie. But then I also read books sometimes. I can actually will myself to not press the button.
...And We'll Do it Again
The old "learn something about everything and everything about something".
Why boredom is good for you
Wohoo I just filled 7 minutes of my life by watching a video!
Good Morning VIETNAM Creedence Clearwater Revival
That looks like fun set to that music.
Damn that sarcasm button.
The imagery makes me think of my army service, on the other side of the iron curtain, we used to have a compulsory 2 years (1 year for university graduates after school, fortunately) so all the 18 yo kids got "drafted" for two years, not to war, but you never knew...
Everyone hated to go, hated it while there, it was a total waste of time, buggery, bigotry, boredom, drink and drugs, women, etc.
Everyone counted down the time to go home day by day like in jail.
Yet everyone posed for heroic photographs, preferably with their tanks (our group stood in front of our kitchen :-) and pretended to be manly.
That is how I see Vietnam, scared kids thrown into a difficult to justify war against the local people in a foreign country. Unenviable.
They deserve all the accolades and any help they can be given tenfold. Also they were all heroes if they did not chicken out.
And god bless America (meaning the US of A) if it can come up with a better way to pick wars. Kind of a hint is if you have to "defeat" the whole local population to win, dont start.
Congress requires new tech to detect and stop drunk drivers

Terry Pratchett on Why we need to believe in things...
I saw this whole movie and its not bad.
The books are great.
You have to believe in something to have a goal in life but you need to pick well.
Justice and mercy (opposites in a way, no?) are IMHO good things to hope for, hoping to prove election fraud is like praying your neighbors goat should die. Morals and politics are a personal choice. Morals are what you hope to be and politics are what you hope the world around you will be.
Pratchett does a good job explaining to kids that its how you change yourself is more important than how you change the world.
The universe offers entropy.
People's Summit Speech on decolonizing the climate movement
Well youve had 80 years to get something done, Vijay, instead of whining. India is not doing so badly so it should be able to take care of its children if it can get its act together. You cant even get rid of the caste system. Literally discrimination by color.
Most of the world is run by corrupt dictators, one can keep building schools and sending humanitarian help but ultimately local politics and local institutions are an insurmountable obstacle to progress.
You can use the money (that you scorn) wisely to skip technologies that are known to be a dead end. Pecunia non olet.

The Big Misconception About Electricity
Nah I dont see a bait and switch. I see people thinking electricity goes down wires while the underlying real world is fields propagating through space.
It really is a difference if you have the lightbulb 1 meter away or 1 light second away. We have a tendency to think abstractly of these situations, freely giving things ideal properties that they dont have and taking away the properties we dont like to use in our petty examples.
If you had enough voltage to overcome the drop in "ideal" 1 light second long cables they sure as hell would induce enough current in parallel cables 1 m away to light a bulb :-)
All that said people do under-appreciate how fast the speed of light is, just as they under appreciate how much a billion of anything, especially money, is.
The speed of light is getting to your destination instantly from your own point of view.
The Big Misconception About Electricity
Its not so much a theory. We make so many simplifying assumptions about our surroundings that the underlying physics tend to elude us.
How many people REALLY understand how a steam engine works? Sewing machine?
