A few days ago I changed my pronouns (in my profile) from having no preference to "Pat, Pat".
My understanding of pronouns in the English language is that they serve as a shortened version of a specific noun -- in the case of personal pronouns, a shortened version of a person's name.
Since my name is already so short, it makes sense to just not use the pronoun at all and just refer to me as "Pat".
It may sound weird in some cases, but I think it makes sense.

Apparently, the secret service wants to see a President Nancy Pelosi in the White House.
As shown here the secret service let both the president and VP sit in a room with dozens of people from across the country and neither the president nor the VP had their masks on. Plus notice that most of the others in the room wore NIOSH-approved N95 respirators, while the mask that Harris removed was not NIOSH approved. The mask that Biden occasionally wears is also not NIOSH approved.
I mean, it's his own agency that does the testing of respirators. You'd think that someone would tell him that he is going to kill himself wearing those flimsy Chinese-made FN95 masks.
Extra caution should be taken anytime the president and VP are together, but here they threw caution to the wind.

#TruthBeTold = A statement that is logically or literally true (or partly true), but seems to imply something that isn’t true or is just plain weird. (for rhetoric, logic or propaganda studies… or just for fun)

Here is a short clip from "The Nutty Professor" (1963), about a social-awkward professor (Jerry Lewis). This character (Stella Stevens) is reacting to his unusual behavior.

If you happen to be one of the "lucky" ones to survive WWIII along with a couple of dozen others, will you try to repopulate the Earth with humans, or will you let the species die out and just give some other animal a chance at it in a few million years?
