Today's Tids Issue 4,605
Get some rays. Good medicine:
One of the cool things
that we have learned from this Virus thing is that HS and College kids can stay
home away from the crowds and go to class on their computers. In many cases people
will also be able to work from home the same way. I suspect somebody will be leaping
on this to develop connectivity systems that work easily for school districts, and
make convenient more ways to add more layers of workers.
I think most of the reactions
that disrupt a potential for a reasonable relationship among all are from
on-the-surface information.
I think we can be “pretty” certain
that either Joe or Bernie will be picking a female running mate. Joe probably has
a choice between Hillary, Michelle 0, Amy, Kamala, The Cherokee or Rosie O’Donnell.
Bernie will be looking (But not leering) at his probable favorites -- AOC, The
Cherokee, Ayanna Soyini Pressley, Bette Midler, Nancy Lala-Pelosi or Jane Fonda.
That is,
if Bern is still around after what looks like a potential trouncing in
Michigan.
Can I use “pretty”
in the same sentence with women? Or will I be accused of being abusive.
From a reader and his wife
who love The Tid’s bad jokes, “If a cow does not give milk that would udderly be
a milk dud!” I should hire them.

One thing that can be quite cleansing
for a boggled mind is rambling on to get it all out. I have an idea. I’m thinking
of a new Tid’s Department called “Rambling”. How great is that! It is open to
you all, for those times when you just become fed up with lunacy around you. Just
send a short Ramble to rid yourself of the brambles that have become thorny inside.
Of course, I being the dogmatic editor, I will at times ease it into the format
of the Tids (The Tids have format?), but never losing the gist of your controlled
tirade. And, it only will cost you a dollar a word! Just kidding. (Obviously I would
not use names or any personal identifying information.)
In ancient Greece,
tossing an apple towards a woman was a traditional proposal of marriage.
Catching it meant she accepted. So, if woman just happened to be innately
clumsy, she could be destined to spinsterhood.
Can you
still say spinsterhood?
Be careful what you wish for.
Right now everybody wants a miracle vaccine for you know what. But in 1976, the
Swine Flu vaccine caused more deaths and illness than the disease itself. I think,
though, we have come a long way in 44 years of medical progress.
Former CEO of Goldman Sachs,
Lloyd Blankfein, is just the latest to urge calm amidst the unfortunate panic
selling. He like most steady advisors say that the 3 big markets will easily return
to normal once the Virus appears to be subsiding. The economy is strong.
After a much too long a run
of too many Dems and confusing debates we may all of a sudden be down to just
one momentarily. One man, who ironically was deemed too weak by many, which[RH1]
gave an opening to a long list of hopeful nominees. So what does this prove? The
smoke filled back rooms still live!
In the long run,
mingling with people is much healthier than locking yourself in a cave of safety.
No question about that. So says this hermit.
“Gaslighting”
is word that pops up in Twitterland from time to time, or from the mouths of
youthful deniers of the past. It’s a word that was not a part of my past, It
means manipulating information in such a way that it makes a victim question their
own sanity, or perhaps political beliefs. It’s the intent to make someone doubt
their memories of perception of reality. Not that politics is reality in the first
place.
I drop things
on the floor as a mean to force exercise. There is always good in something.
While on words.
I have noted that fort the sake of an “R’’, a friend would be a fiend. Now fiend
connotes evil, brute or monster. But it is also defined as being extremely addicted.
Sometimes a person can be a fiend for something not so good as in drug fiend.
But it can as easily be a description of something nice and decent as in a fiend
of admiring a person of unique and amazing characteristics.
The government is good
at gaslighting in a way. They change things that disrupts traditional rational
thinking. We changed our clocks on Sunday, and that felt confusing tome. I always
thought it was around an equinox. And for that we still have ten more days. What
exactly did we gain by changing clocks twelve days early?
Here’s an example of a possible “Ramble”
that came from a great guy, and good reader in response to yesterday’s daily mess
about “Kindness”: “We should try to
show kindness even when others are not kind to us. How do we know what kind of
problems that person is struggling with? A showing of kindness may be all that
person needs to make their day better. If everyone shows some kindness to those
they have contact with during their day imagine how fast it would spread. I
predict kindness could spread faster than COVID-19 virus if we learn to be less
critical of those having a bad day. Pass on some kindness to those that need
it, you could change their lives and yours, and it's free.”
I have decided I’m not old. I’m
25 plus shipping and handling.
The Answer:
Well, number one is Better Call Saul. People who
know this show love it. After Saul we have Fargo, which I would agree with totally.
Next is South Park, followed by Lucifer, Criminal Minds, The Walking Dead, The Good
Palace, Orange is the New Black, True Detective, and #10, Doctor Who. Here are
the next 15. Maybe you find one of your favorites. #11 is American Horror
Story, and Then Black Mirror, Supernatural, Vikings, The Blocklist, Brooklyn
99, Stranger Things, Rick and Morty, The Simpsons, Archer, Modern Family, Law &
Order: SVU, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., How to Get Away with Murder and #25 Bojack
Horseman.
The apparent return
to a vanilla candidate named Joe probably proves that the USA is not ready by a
longshot for any extremist candidate, despite all of the noise and adoration
from the media. Once again, the silent majority pushes its weight around.
It is known that intelligent
people have more zinc and copper in their hair. That’s why I shun materials
testing labs. I don’t want facts to get in the way.
I suggests that many voters
have too much lead in their hair.
Hey! That’s not
kind.
A wise man
once said – Nothing.
