Sometimes I get a little uneasy about what I see in print and other news media.
Because I remember what was taught in some of my History classes, and how all the major wars we ever got in started over the unlikeliest of incidents. Some after continuous voicing of civil discontent, some without much apparent reason or warning at all. I'm not worried that Donald Trump himself will be a danger to any normal American now or any time before 2024, but I DO worry that some of what is put in place in this pre-2025 era will empower serious threats to Americans after him ...
In the meantime, more bread and circuses ...
Lyndsay and Johanna Dejager here.
Both Canadian, both in the fitness industry;
I've yet to discover if they're related.
I might not have gotten enough sleep last night. I'm thinking on a lot things that ARE disturbing when you think about them, but which I DON'T normally stop to think about for very long. For instance, now I'm wondering how our minds process transition imagery. There's what we see at a moment, there's what we see two moments after that, but there's also what we see the moment in between moments 1 and 3. Moment "2" can be ... troubling. She'ra's mount Swift Wind looks like a 4 winged angel or beast from Revelation here, for instance, and a read of religious works often DOES have angels rendered as weird-looking animals.
They used to program subliminal messages in TV and media back in the 1960s. Have they stopped. Did people just go, "Hey, that's wrong, let's not do that anymore" ...?
For that matter, the content of moment #1 affects how we perceive and interpret moment #3. Does not moment #2? We're still seeing it, consciously or not.
And ARE the amalgamations we see in moment number "2" necessarily accidental?
But, like I said, I might not be all properly caught up on my sleep ...
I don't remember who the first person is.
Maybe I'll rediscover.
Image 2 was previously posted by Riv. I have no idea who it is.
Hopefully Riv or someone else will tell me. She looks familiar, and probably is a star for those hypnotic eyes alone.
The last image is She-ra.
The remainder of the images, minus the Castlevania one, of course, are from MTV's "Teen Wolf" series, iirc.
The girl lightly hefting the heavy fallen tree with one arm is, unbeknownst to her father and friends, a good-natured "were-coyote".
In the confusion of that particular evening, though, most everyone chalks up her strength display as " just one of those things" ...
After the first 2 images, She-ra here is depicted trying to catch Sea Hawk's airship. She fails to fully do that, gets pushed back, then gets knocked down with the ship landing on top of her. Somewhat surprising to see given how ridiculously strong she is shown to be in other episodes.
Interestingly enough, however, if it WERE possible for someone to be strong enough to catch something of this sort, the type of "give" shown by the vehicle catcher is exactly what physics says you would need to protect the passengers from injury.
Random comments on the random offerings below:
1. Not sure if Aubrie is actually the same woman doing the Watermelon challenge in the Trending Challenge thumbnail. People with the same color hair and same style ponytail tend to look alike.
2. Britney Spears was more athletic than most people realize, and with a more substantial build, too. Especially when she was in her mid-20s. Well, SOME people realized that. Britney is giving the look to someone who FULLY realized that and couldn't quite act professional till sheer giddiness at the fact of Britney being there had subsided.
3. I'll probably rediscover who the lady after that is. I usually do.
4. Except for the death threats they get, I'm thinking the "camera'd" staff of
the Daily Wire have one of the best jobs in the world. Seems like half the podcasts they've made in the past 2 or 3 months have been from hotels as they travel from locale to locale ...
