The song 'Cult of personality' was a medium-size hit for the band 'Living Colour' back in '88 or thereabouts...
I can remember seeing these guys the only time I ever went to CBGB's back in '85 or '86 - somewhere thereabouts. I remember that night because I met Mick Jagger at the bar there. What an asshole, but that's a story for another day. Anyway, I liked the band and their vibe, and completely dug the message in this song.
Why are we so enamored of people who 'gain fame'? The fame they garner is because we pay attention to what they say and do. My question is, why do any of us give a fuck what these people are doing encouraging their bad behavior? Fuck that - that's what the 'Cult of Personality' is all about - thinking our lives are somehow small and living vicariously through the bad behavior of others. I'll pass...

Chuck E. Cheese is the latest costumed character to be accused of racial discrimination. A mother from New Jersey posted a video to Twitter of the restaurant’s mouse mascot high-fiving numerous white kids that were standing on a stage but seemingly ignoring her black daughter dancing around him on the floor.
“On July 30 at Chuck E Cheese in Wayne, NJ, my 2yo was racially discriminated against. As you can see, he gives all of the white kids hi-5s & PURPOSELY ignored my black baby,” user belllahijabi wrote in the post that has since been retweeted more than 32,000 times. “When confronted, he ignored me as well.” According to the mom, the manager “made excuses” for the costumed worker.
“Saying she’s ‘sorry I feel that way’ but he didn’t see her, even after showing her the PROOF in the video,” she said in a separate tweet, adding, “This is getting out of hand!!!”

In another tweet, the mama bear shared a photo of the girl and Chuck E. Cheese - giving a thumbs up - posing together for a picture that management “insisted” they take after apologizing to the parent and telling her that the mouse was “not able to see her.”
“I wasn’t for it, but Safa (the kid) was still innocently following him around — of course, unaware of what just happened. Just for her to take a picture like this,” she said of the child crossing her arms for the photo. “Great job, Safa”.
Yeah - great job, Mom. Teach the kid to be a bitch just like you...

Last Thursday, when they announced that so-called Schumer/
Manchin green corporate tax bullshit, I asked a simple question.
Well, we have our answer. What happened: Before Sen. Joe Manchin lent his crucial vote to his party's climate, tax and healthcare package, he got a commitment from Democratic leaders to pass energy permitting legislation. And Manchin on Monday released details of that side agreement that make clear he's secured the construction of a major home-state natural gas pipeline in the process.
Just goes to prove ya gotta be a pro to put the quid and the quo together...

When an underwater volcano in Tonga erupted in January, it belched out more than ash and volcanic gases; it also spewed 58,000 Olympic-size swimming pools' worth of water vapor into Earth's atmosphere.
This water vapor could end up being the most destructive part of the volcano's eruption because it could potentially exacerbate global warming and deplete the ozone layer.
The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano erupted on Jan. 15. It was the most powerful explosion on Earth in more than 30 years, with an equivalent force of 100 Hiroshima bombs. The explosion sent shock waves around the planet, causing the atmosphere to ring like a bell and generating tsunamis that battered nearby coasts. A plume of ash and dust reached higher into the atmosphere than any other eruption on record and triggered more than 590,000 lightning strikes in three days.
This is not the first time scientists have warned about damage to the 'ozone layer', and it sure as fuck ain't gonna be the last. That's what these guys get paid for...

California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in the state Monday due to the current monkeypox outbreak. The alert was issued to help the state health department amp up its vaccination, education and outreach efforts in response to the virus, Newsom said in a statement.
"California is working urgently across all levels of government to slow the spread of monkeypox, leveraging our robust testing, contact tracing and community partnerships strengthened during the pandemic to ensure that those most at risk are our focus for vaccines, treatment and outreach," Newsom said.
He continued, "We'll continue to work with the federal government to secure more vaccines, raise awareness about reducing risk, and stand with the LGBTQ community fighting stigmatization." He added this comment: 'How can you protect against the Monkeypox virus? It's easy - stop fucking other guys, guys...'

As to Manchin, we just found out that he got his natural gas pipeline approved by Xiden and Nanzi if he agreed with this massive inflation scheme.
ReplyDeleteManchin is proof that a "Bluedog Democrat" is just another democrat; willing to sell out America for his own personal payoff.
ReplyDeleteAhh - he got the pipeline. That;s when they say - 'It's just politics'
