Green opinion: Transitions
Well, that was interesting. Maybe unexpected is a better way of saying it. Do you have profound moments in your life? I remember thinking about this when I was a teenager. I started smoking. I really don’t know why I started smoking except I felt a pull to do it because it was a part…
Unfortunately for Mike Tyson, Jake Paul showed up for the fight-pre and post fight commentary
Pre-fight First of all, I’m not sure if this is a significant cultural event or just a demonstration of the power of social media. The problem as a sporting event is that this particular influencer is known for his pranks. Literally, it would seem that we are about to be pranked. It’s like a giant…
Utopian literature: How we deal with the money deal
Okay, first of all it was not as shocking as you might think. Yes, there was that consciousness moment that was indeed shocking. Suicides of global leaders simply to filled with fear at what one unoccupied moment of their life would do to them. If suddenly all the mistakes were mounted one on top of…
And now a word from our sponsor: Practical English
Hi again. I know it’s been a while but we need to have a little talk. Going forward, it’s interesting to think if even the fastest and most practical method to become a better English speaker has become superfluous. It’s not only chat TP or whatever computer generated essay machine they have. I actually had…
The existence of a dominant male in a utopian society
A question came up regarding whether or not what might be seen as toxic male behavior could exist in a utopian society. To define utopian society for this essay, we are simply talking about a 100% sustainable, generally agrarian in nature, community of a specific number of people. They find their symbiotic relationship with the…
The end of the road
It’s hard to see any hope for the world. It’s interesting to think of oneself as being crazy. They say that it’s one of those catch 22s, literally, you can’t be crazy and know you’re crazy. That’s my problem. It’s about knowledge. I’m a pretty good pragmatist so my vocabulary and library is pretty much…
Now it’s all about criminals telling us how the only problem is that the government is a waste of money
It’s interesting to listen to the conservatives Crow in the media. They won handily. It seems they have proven something. They got the popular vote that they created themselves. It’s not only about gerrymandering or forcing people into the most inconvenient types of voting. It also doesn’t mean anything that the votes themselves are meaningless…
Kamala Harris is Not the 47th president of the United States
It’s Tuesday morning just before noon in Belarus so I am a little preemptive here. A glance at the poles shows that things are going to be tight but that Harris is going to be the winner. You never can tell. You never can’t tell the level of honest excitement and you never can tell…
The Yokohama DeNA Baystars are champions of Japanese baseball
Yokohama unexpectedly one the Japanese baseball championship this year. I followed them all year. I saw they had great potential. I thought deeply about why they were flawed in the way they were flawed and if they could ever overcome it. They were a third place team. Barely over 500. And the playoffs set up…
Cat story finale
The whole of this saga has been cataloged in my journal. I suppose that’s another something I could collect into a singular story. It seems to be odd though to do that because often the writing that happened around the cat stories was of interest or connection. It’s hard to say what’s right or wrong…
Civil ’90
There was a discovery I made last year and amazingly, it’s still good this year. It’s called civil 90. What is civil 90? Just to fluff it up a bit, it’s a way of expressing yourself in time that automatically allows you to be in the same wavelength as all of the people you’re talking…
And in the end, it was the love they take that is the world we’ve made
I feel like Ahab and there are enough harpoons in Moby Dick to believe that the job was finally done. In the ever expanding world of Christendom, resources were needed and men went out into the oceans to kill the whales so that people could read in the winter time. It is interesting to note…
The hand of God: a cat story
So we have a story from today that I can only classify as one of these hand of God stories. I feel like I’m making a spectacle of myself when I mention these moments when God seems to be tapping me on the shoulder or sneaking up behind me to give me a hug. It’s…
Just some words about Hillel the scribe who wrote the Torah
I just want to talk about a piece of writing that really was important to me. This is the two stories of Hillel the scribe. In the first episodes, he and his friend Phaedrus The apothecary would gather in the apothecary’s tent to smoke over the days events. Neither of them was pleased with how…
Game of thrones
I don’t know when it took a hold of me. Probably when they really wanted it to take a hold of me. It’s just a matter of texture in a world dominated by TikTok shorts. What am I going to do with myself? Stupid question, easy answer. Let’s play with the phone. Tick tock? Entertain…
The Yokohama DeNA Baystars are central league champions
I mean, wow. That was a lot. That was really completely a lot. I don’t even know where to start with this but I think I just experienced my greatest baseball moment as a fan in my life. About the game. The climax series in Japan is designed so the first place team has every…
A letter from the editor concerning the upcoming elections and our competence to even consider such things
Is Donald Trump competent? I decided to start by googling this concept because generally speaking, Google is pretty honest to my mind. There is the commercial aspect of the world and how much space that controls in our bandwidth. But the general algorithm does seem to believe that the world is better believing in ecology…
The end of the line: V’Zot HaBerachah from the Bazaar under Sinai
From chabad.org: The name of the Parshah, “V’Zot HaBerachah,” means “And this is the blessing,” and it is found in Deuteronomy 33:1. The Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret Torah readings are from Leviticus 22-23, Numbers 29, and Deuteronomy 14-16. These readings detail the laws of the moadim or “appointed times” on the Jewish calendar for festive…
Keep the women at home or let them be?
This is a call for a public vote. I think this should be a vote amongst all humanity regardless of religion or state affiliation. I also think this should be regardless of history except of course as people might remember things in their own experience that might give them a good chance of making the…
Thursday vegan torah from the bazaar under Sinai:
From Chabad.org: Haazinu in a NutshellDeuteronomy 32:1–52The name of the Parshah, “Haazinu,” means “Listen” and it is found in Deuteronomy 32:1. The greater part of the Torah reading of Haazinu (“Listen In”) consists of a 70-line “song” delivered by Moses to the people of Israel on the last day of his earthly life. Calling heaven…
Utopian fiction: the coach
Listen. I think I need to talk to you. This was one of those moments in life where, when you look back years later, you either did it well or you didn’t. Perhaps the world really wasn’t this dramatic and obviously, the drama was more on his side than on hers. She was simply living…
