Today's Tids Issue 5,133
Thinking first, aid:
At faster than an Olympic 100-meter speeds, Blinken and the ever-ready White House misstatement response team (Including French Prez Macron) raced to correct Joe B’s off the cuff get rid of Putin remarks. No wonder his handlers didn’t let him speak extemporaneously during the campaign.
To be honest with you, I am having trouble being lyrical and happy writing the Tids while Ukraine people are being slaughtered and dismissed as lessor beings in a demented power mad mind. The hypocrisy nete ween life here and there was focused even further when I watched for a moment the gibberish at the red-carpet ceremony before Glitterville’s night out. Spare me.
But I was happy to see CODA win it all last night. It was a movie about human resolve, and if we didn’t come away from it feeling there is goodness in this world, then National News media has truly turned our souls black.
You know how the media can get on one story and beat the public into submission as repeats it over and over and over...again. Get ready for the Coach K final lap tour.
But the Saint Peter’s story was great while it lasted.
Good news for coffee drinkers. The American College of Cardiologists report just out says 2 to 3 cups of coffee a day will do good things for to your heart and your longevity. I have to think they are not saying to go to your local drive through coffee café and have one loaded with cream and caramel.
From a daughter with same unhinged humor as me: An astronomer is a Skyientist.

From the same daughter: A jet ski is a boatercycle.
Last night I watched the suddenly amazing Boston Celtics and Guy Fiere’s Cooking Championships. All I need to know about the Oscars is who won, which I can read in the morning.
A How about that Scott Scheffler who almost out of nowhere is now the #1 golfer in the world. He joined the PGA tour in 2020.
Economists will look at Covid suspending which doubled our national budget in a nanosecond and say, don’t fear this significant bump in the Gov spending curve. Once we take it out, we will be back to our normal overspending levels. It was just an extraordinary bump not unlike the last big one for WWII. But these new politicians are not the conservative pols of the past. They, spurred on by a new kind of activist constituency who will see this bump as a solid precedent for the continuation of give-away programs.
If you look up in the picture dictionary for a definition of “Inane” you’ll find a pic of celebrities prancing on a red carpet.
When My Computer pops up a message that says, “Get more out of your device”, I always think first, what are they trying to sell me that I don’t desire in the least. After all, Apps have never been known to be altruistic.
The SEC is proposing rules that would standardize climate related disclosures for investors. The government goo slurps forward.
If I was going to make a Jada Smith joke, it would be about that dress she wore last night. It had enough fabric to clothe 100 Ukrainian children and probably cost more than a few good anti-tank missiles.
Three conspiracy theorists walk into a bar…You can't tell me that's just a coincidence!
I may be an old dinosaur, but some conversations on the Radio between hip pop culture icons leave me wondering whether society going forward has chance at all.
I am fully against drivers' licenses for illegal aliens. Period.
In a new study, only 18% of Americans say they are excited about Artificial Intelligence. Over 70% didn’t like the idea of driverless cars unless there are significant regulations. One aspect of AI that most Americans dislike most is facial recognition. I personally feel there ae just too many cameras around. The cameras don’t seem to be detering crime, but they do document the exploits of young criminals vying for gang membership.
The Answer:
Jennifer Grey, btw daughter of great Broadway actor Joel Grey, may be best known for “Dirty Dancing”. But a lot of people loved her earlier in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. She actually did quite well in a series of films following “Dirty”. But, In the early 1990s, Grey underwent two rhinoplasty procedures (The second to correct problems from the first.) This resulted in a nose that caused even close friends to fail to recognize her, and the major change in her appearance affected her career. She said, "I went in the operating room a celebrity—and came out anonymous.” Of interest (Maybe), she dated Michael J Fox who eventually married her best friend since childhood, Tracy Poulin. Bonus: DC is most innovative. How odd. The rest of the top ten states are Mass, Wash, Maryland, Colo, Virginia, Cal, Del, New Hampshire and Utah. The least innovative are the usual suspects, Miss, Louisiana, North Dak, West “By God” Virginia, Ark, Neb, South Dak, Iowa, Kent, Okla and Tenn. DC is innovative?
One of my earliest favorite puns was: Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Here’s a song I heard over the weekend which I thought would be nice for easing into another week. I like Stevie Nicks and have to play her every once in a while.
