Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 54

[ecosophia]

As we move further into the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. 

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before: 

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 
 
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Man, for a crew of people who is so down on pop culture, we really have a tendency to pull out the deep cuts!

A decade and a bit ago, I worked in a studio that partied pretty hard on Fridays. For three months straight, someone, somewhere across the cubicles would crank that song at 5pm. That was the hard liquor bell ringing. Wacom pens down! Party on!

Murmuration

*walks away humming…🎵gotta get down on Friday!🎵…*

We used to have a guy at our seed company who set that as a 5pm Friday alarm.

In the greenhouse or out in the field, "gotta get down on Friday" :-)

wow, I made it three seconds before it was too painful. I need to go lie down until the room stops lurching.

And here in my Katy Perry's version with the Rebecca cameo Katy's "dad" said that Rebecca was a nice girl.

I'm done with Friday now, even though that blast from the past did make me laugh. Oh the girl on her right dancing. I'm fast forwarding to P!nk's Saturday. Which, as Rebecca tells us all, does come next anyway.

lol. I always forget to charge my iPod at work, so I end up streaming Youtube from my phone (I am a nebulizer technician... I just make tiny little machine parts under a microscope, it is very dull without something to listen to), and eventually the algos decided to give me nothing but miniature art movies people made for their music videos. And that was distracting, but I discovered they were actually... good.

Then I ended up watching Lady Gaga's documentary on Netflix and reading her biographies because I was intrigued by her funny dramatization of her 20s in her Marry the Night piece. Because that's the sort of person I am now. This is what Covid has done to us all.

In honesty, though, she is a fascinating person in her way - very naive Italian-American/French-Canadian Catholic schoolgirl piano prodigy goes to uber arts school in New York, is fed into New York fame machine and partially digested, stint in crazytown for depression, has fibromyalgia... still manages to dance and do what she does. Smokes like a chimney still, but I see a little Buffy Sainte-Marie in her musical fluidity and experimentation, I was surprised to find I admired her. The kids called her "the Germ" when she was growing up, and then producers kept saying they doubted her star potential because of her "physique" (so she developed an eating disorder) - which is baffling, since she appears entirely nude a lot in that video and her documentary, and I looked closely, I could not find anything wrong with it, maybe others can find it for me, who knows. But she hit it big right out of the gate as soon as a producer gave her her head and let her be the extremely weird person she is instead of a pop princess.
