The last supper and the Olympics - an update

It would seem that my reaction was correct. This part of the show was NOT based on the last supper. Rather it was a look at Greek mythology. 

So people were seeing this through their own lens and applying some kind of offended religious aspect to it that didn't exist. 

Man. Are people stupid.

Social media uses data in unusual ways

I find it interesting how one is under scrutiny by the justice department, while the other is simply being questioned by users and "looked into" by governments but here's how you can opt out. 

IMHO they are doing the same thing! Collecting your data and using it for their own purposes. 

And should be treated the same way as a result.

Watch "Bernoulli’s Principle" on YouTube

Yeah. I love science, too!

“The last supper” and the Olympic opening ceremony.

I watched the opening ceremony, and the last supper didn't even enter my mind when I saw the part with the red carpet. 

It was a fun drag moment (well, more than a moment) along with a red carpet sort of fashion show. 

Maybe it's me being mildly ignorant about religion these days, or not applying any sort of societal things. 

But unmasked,I guess I can see it now. And with the way the Olympic show looked at France's own history, this fits in. 

J'adore the entire spectacle that was the opening ceremony.

And overall, France>US in terms of social norms.

Stupid is as stupid does

The flori-duh commissioner of edumacation wanted to do something "prideful" to honor America. You know because June was pride month, but in the states twisted anti-woked-stupidness, they turned pride into a patriotic thing. 

And recommended a book to read: Pride and Prejudice so we can look back at our great nation, authored by the great American Jane Austen. 

Except that Austen was English. And it takes place entirely in England. 

So… yeah. Maybe he should take time to read the book he's suggesting?

And by the way, this book is constantly appearing on banned book lists, though I think it still might be available in Florida.
