Mob Games

 I'm shocked (and I shouldn't be) by how the global mob cancels targets that the establishment narrative points them at, with ease, and no thought to what they are doing. Case in point, the vilification of the unvaccinated and now the Russian people as a whole. We went from one cancellation initiative to the next with ease. 

All of these businesses that are pulling out of Russia or refusing to do business with Russia, as if every Russian was directly connected to Putin via a hive mind. I'm guessing Yuri down on the corner, who just wanted to get him some KFC, was in the room with Putin and was chanting, "Invade, invade, invade!!!" Therefore, KFC will deny Yuri a bite to eat, or maybe even a job. Makes sense, right? Not really.

How did the despicable Cancel Culture, all of sudden turn into, Cancel Country, along with everyone inside that country? The virtue signaling reeks of hatred for an entire people based on their leadership. This is, after all, the face of the leftist establishment now. Say one thing to virtue signal, meanwhile cancel an entire subsection of society, take a pic on Instagram, stand with one group over another, and go to bed feeling as if they fought the good fight. Just lazy, ignorant, and lacking of all critical thinking and nuance. 

It's like society is being forced to take on the mental illness of all of those on Twitter. You know, the crazy fucks that actually instigate all of the cancelling. The people with no self worth outside of their online following. The people who think their witty one liners actually make them important. Completely mental... 

In the game of either/or... the Establishment left, has chosen left wing Ukrainian Nazism over Putin Communism, as if either choice is acceptable. No... neither is the "good guy" here. The US should not be getting involved at all. And FYI, I was against Trump sanctions for China the same way I am against Biden sanctions of Russia. Can you say the same thing? Sanctions just mean higher prices across the broad. But hey, it makes you sleep better at night when you are wrapped in your superior virtue, right? 

And another FYI, you can't "ban the import of Russian oil," because all oil is bought and sold on the global market. It all goes into one big pot. Those who produce more, control the price via production. But you can't actually ban Russian oil from the pot, unless the global market has decided not to take it. That hasn't happened. So yet again, this is a bullshit exercise in virtue signaling. At one time, the media would have called the BS and said this out loud, now, not so much. It goes against the establishment virtue signaling narrative, truth be damned. 

The mob rolls on...

The Podcasting Phenomenon

Image
I like a good Podcast. My regulars will be linked below, but for now, for most part I like listening to authors and writers being interviewed or telling their stories. I also like some of these where a celebrity interviews other celebrities. Generally, I listen to podcasts to and from work on the dreaded commute. It beats having to hear the same 10 songs played endlessly on the radio. Podcasting is becoming a bit of a phenomenon in that everyone is doing it now. It seems being a YouTube star was saturated so the next move was over to pure audio. I mean, why be bothered with having to watch something when you can just listen to it and do other things, right? Just like with YouTube though, you have to find the shows that offer up something. Most of the really good podcasting shows have a singular point of view. Such as Author Stories by Hank Garner which is just about interviewing authors and writers. Then you have The No Pants Cocktail Hour with Jeff Somer s, who is an author,

I miss Tower Records

Image
I'm not going to lie, in the decade before Tower Records closed down, I had probably gone into the Atlanta store only a handful of times. MP3 and digital was the way to get music and that was just more exciting and accessible. However, thinking back on the old Gen X days and the great 90's, it was the experience of going to Tower Records that I really miss. There was an excitement to it that no music streaming service will ever be able to to replicate. This was especially true on new release Tuesdays. That meant heading down to Tower Monday night, usually around 9 or 10 pm and then hanging out until 12 am to get the new release first. Back then, it felt like winning a competition by being the first person to get a new release and check it out on the drive back home. That meant, the next day you would be able to talk about it with your friends, who more than likely, went with you to pick it up too. Also funny when looking back on it, I used to see the people who worke

The Ninja Writes week in review (7/22/19)

Image
The Ninja Writes week in review for the week of 7/22/19 has a little bit something for everyone. From a the journey to get in touch with a pop culture icon like Tim Thomerson to a Social Network that seems to have sputtered out (MeWe). Also this week, I had some thoughts on a move back to ChromeOS from Win10, this new Puritan Luddite movement, and a cool new show on Netflix, starring Katee Sackhoff call Another Life. Sometimes you don't get to meet your heroes. We've had a fair amount of luck in interviewing authors and musicians on our ScannerDrome podcast so I thought maybe I could find a way to reach out to Tim Thomerson (Jack Deth in Trancers) and get him to come on the show. Alas… the production company won't relay the message and he doesn't really have a social media or internet footprint, possibly due to his age (73). So I've hit a brick wall in getting an invitation to him. Oh well… it is what it is… and if you haven't watched the Trancers series, t
