There is no better way to ruin a perfectly capable mind than to subject it to a liberal arts education at a US university. Here’s a disturbingly hilarious example… a throng of woke Portland State University students that could not think their way out of a bag of snowflakes.
The Evolution of Dance in Less Than 10 Minutes
Not Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, but pretty damn impressive…

Here’s Katy Perry singing “One of the Boys,” a song that was not inspired by the book I reviewed above (and, as far as I can tell, has nothing to do with any of the book’s themes). It’s about something that might be considered impolitic today. It’s about a tomboy, who, as she moves into puberty, realizes that she really is a girl after all.
Far Out published two lists of “favorite songs” – one from Brian Wilson and the other from Robert Downey Jr. I’d have thought that I would much prefer to be friends with Robert Downey Jr., but maybe I was wrong. I thought Brian Wilson’s picks were much closer to my own.

An edifying example of the range of music that derives from what one musician calls “the two-beat groove”…

Remember this one?
From SC, a high-school friend, who says, “Not sure there has ever been a music video that got me ‘jumping’ more than this one.”
It’s the Pointer Sisters singing Jump, their biggest hit, nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Performance in 1983. What I like about it is how innocent it feels. Was our culture ever that wholesome?

I have a file marked “Old-Man Jokes.” It’s filled with jokes distributed among various groups of golfing buddies and high school friends. For most of the world, these jokes are groaners. And rightly so. Nonetheless, I like to think that the ones I like are better than average. Here’s a recent one I liked a lot. You tell me. Is this funny… or am I an old fart?!!!
Who is Chad Powers, and where did he learn to throw like that?
I’ve seen lots of these. A high-level athlete disguises himself as old person and smokes mid-level athletes in a spontaneous competition. But this one is a bit different. Here, you have the high-level athlete disguising his look, and not his age, because he is one of the best-known athletes in the world.
Ever since the NYT turned anti-England, I’ve been pro-monarchy. My stroke prevented me from keeping up with the funeral, and so I missed this short speech by Charles III, the new king. His language is a bit strong (caveat lector), but I am completely in favor of his plans and his sentiment. Take that, NYT lovers!
