    Has anyone seen 'Osmosis'.

    It's a French/Dutch thing I think. If one wants to see a true alien being (not makeup) watch that Netflix series. Most characters are androgynous, unusual human closeness (violations of natural human space) It's weird but interesting

    Meh, for some values of "interesting" and "cool", I guess.

    Osmosis looks really creepy. I'm afraid to get Netflix. Here's a song about it. (warning, an f-word appears a couple times)

    This chick is amazing. We saw her live. Never heard of her before that.

    she be jammin' - ohh, cut me to the quick...I am a Netflix junkie...but strange as it might seem, I find a lot of intellectual stimulation in watching TV...it's what I does...

    My daughter introduced me to a Gen Z favorite journalist...the one she showed is kind of off topic for her (she said) but I think she was trying to sell me...this guy, though not one of the really biggies has a penetrating eye for newsworthy stories and he tells it well...


    Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8r1lJVk7OI


    He is a registered Libertarian but my daughter says she doesn't get that from him...she says he is 'balanced and gives both sides fair play'

    I used to watch Philip Defranco a lot for a long time some years ago, but later found him too mainstream for my developing taste.

    That being said, I think he's all right.

    Milan Kundera Warned Us About Historical Amnesia. Now It’s Happening Again:
    https://quillette.com/2019/03/31/his...as-resistance/

    Milan Kundera is 90-years old on April 1, 2019 and his central subject—The Power of Forgetting, or historical amnesia—could not be more relevant. Kundera’s great theme emerged from his experience of the annexation of his former homeland Czechoslovakia by the Soviets in 1948 and the process of deliberate historical erasure imposed by the communist regime on the Czechs.

    As Kundera said:

    The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long that nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster.

    A poll in the UK by The New Culture Forum from 2015 showed that 70 percent of British people under the age of 24 had never heard of Chinese communist leader Mao Tse-Tung, while out of the 30 percent who had heard of him, 10 percent did not associate him with crimes against humanity. Chairman Mao’s communist regime was responsible for the deaths of between 30 to 70 million Chinese, making him the biggest genocidal killer of the 20th century, above Stalin and Hitler.

    To get rid of an enemy now, you don’t have to prove anything against them. Instead, you use the internet to generate conflicting accusations and contradictory data. You use confusion to elevate hatred and fear until that enemy is either banned from the net, their history re-written or erased from the minds of millions through conflict-induced apathy.

    If the struggle of man is the struggle of memory against forgetting, as Kundera said, then we have in the cacophony of the internet a vast machine for forgetting. One that is building a new society upon the shallow, shifting sands of Historical Amnesia.

    Ah. And so we have Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller filtering news on Facebook.

    I'm sure that'll go just swimmingly...

    I haven't gotten any comments on my cousin...c'mon. Has no one seen it or is it just that no one gets a kick from my cocaine.

    The scene of the Priest is filmed in Galveston, TX, I think...

    There is an ongoing lie fest on CNN...Attorney General Barr is testifying. The right, of course, began with the usual distraction, half-truths, deflection, and obfuscation. I can't take much more of this.

    my gawd, what is wrong with people. Our government is a sham...these mf'ers are f*cking liars...to their very core...they are either overtly evil or insane.
