I'm feeling very contrarian today. I better stop writing...

Here's a quote from wikipedia...

"In 1965, he was arrested for selling counterfeit documents and given a 45-year prison sentence and a $75,000 fine...
On September 11, 2002, Nolte was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in Malibu, California."

This photo was his mug shot from the 2002 arrest (I put Trump's mug in place of Nolte's in this altered image.)

-
Does anyone even remember Nick Nolte?

-
NYC DA took a mug shot of Trump, but refuses to release it.

Here's a leaked copy of it...

#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)
(tooting this out again, 'cause I thnk it's funny)

What makes it even weirder is that it was uploaded two months before the shooting.

This is weird...

Here is the solution to the TruthBeTold. A lie berry (library). That's it.

The next time I hear someone use the phrase "post-covid", I'm going to breathe on them.

Some people like to talk about immigration into the the US, but they don't seem to want to talk about the millions of people who are leaving the US...

"According to a Gallup poll from January 2019, 16% of Americans, including 40% of women under the age of 30, would like to leave the United States."

Retro SciFi Film of the Week…

Jurassic Park (1993)

In 2013, this film was re-released so I think even most young people have seen it. Plus it was turned into a franchise so there are about a half-dozen of these Jurassic blah..blah..blah films out there now. For those of you who have been extinct and recently revived, this film is about a guy who took DNA from fossils and de-extincted various dinosaurs and put them into an amusement park. What could go wrong?

I’m including this one in the Retro SciFi series because it will likely be in the news soon. It stars Laura Dern, Jeffrey Goldblum, and Sam Neill.

One of the notable aspects of this film is that it marks the transition from the use of mostly practical effects in the film industry to primarily using digital effects. The dinosaurs were mostly high-quality robotic puppets, but digital techniques by Industrial Light and Magic were also used for scenery and composites.

There’s a real story here and top-notch acting so it’s not just a bunch of FX, which it makes it worth watching.

Accessible video description:

Goldblum’s character is asleep in a jeep when he hears the thunderous footsteps of a dinosaur. He looks at a puddle and the water shows waves of disturbance from the seismic vibrations. (Glodblum: Anybody hear that? It’s a um... an impact tremor is what it is… Fairly alarmed here.) He calls and gestures to two other characters who jump into the jeep (“Start the engine!”) and they speed away as a T-Rex chases them. (“Must go faster.”) The T-Rex gains on them. Goldblum accidentally bumps the stick-shift in the jeep. (Driver: “Get off the stick, bloody move!”) (Dern: “Look out!”) The jeep drives under a fallen tree trunk and the T-Rex crashes through the tree trunk shattering it into pieces. (more screams) The T-Rex tries to bite them and he bumps his head against the jeep. The jeep finally pulls away and escapes. (Goldblum: “Think they’ll have that on the tour?”)

>"please stfu, these type of masks are ineffective at preventing the spread of viruses, even n95+ worn properly only offer marginal protection- and in most cases increase respiratory infections
"pointless virtue signal. good try though"

A properly worn N95 is greater than 95% efficient at filtering virus particles. The most effective respirator at a reasonable price is an elastomeric N100 / P100, which filters 99.97% of virus particles.

More people died in the US during the past half-hour from COVID-19 than died in the Nashville shooting.

Please wear your respirator when you are in a public place or anywhere where others are breathing in the same space.
