Everybody needs to STOP BITCHING ABOUT BIDEN. Everybody told you during the Primaries to elect Bernie Sanders, and you chose not to. Biden is POTUS, you need to pass his initiatives. Listen to the Gravel Institute, if the Democrats don’t take this seriously, we are in big trouble for 2022 and 2024.

Until Next Time!

I know everybody is upset about Facebook deciding that they will be the ones who create the “metaverse.” First of all, it’s not up to Mark Zuckerberg. I understand that Microsoft is working on its own Metaverse. I believe Sony Playstation should work on its own, and definitely the folks at Valve Software / Steam. Heck, I’ve been building one for the past couple of years.

about 95% of the Active-duty Air Force and Space Force members are vaccinated. It is IMPERATIVE that the remaining 5% get their COVID-19 vaccination shots. You need to understand, you cannot be in a group of guys/gals if you catch the virus, and end up spreading it to others. That’s why you need to be vaccinated.

This philosophy applies to other entities. If you are an EMT / Firefighter / Police officer, you need to get vaccinated. How are you suppose to lead by example if yourself aren’t vaccinated? How are you going to tell the general public to wear a mask if you’re not wearing a mask, and be vaccinated?

The COVID-19 vaccine is coming soon to ages 5-11. This is huge. Parents want to return to normalcy. They want the kids in the classroom in a safe environment. They need the ability of the teacher/professor to take off their mask when they speak so they can address the classroom. But, teachers/professors cannot do that unless their entire classrooms are vaccinated.

While Sama’ Abdulhadi did not make the DJ Mag Top 100, she did make the Alternative Top 100 DJs 2021. I was very happy. The number one on that list is Charlotte De Witte, and she does Techno, so that’s pretty cool.

I was furious with the 0-5 result for MUFC. Things better change with the next match. At first I was very mad at the coach, but then Rooney made a good point: it’s the players who were on the field, and they need to ask themselves who was at fault. The Manchester Derby is coming up. More UCL matches. We cannot afford to make mistakes.

There seems to be a disconnect, therefore let me spell it out into words that you can comprehend. You should not let your kids watch “Squid game.” What you should make them watch is “Orange is the New Black.” That’s right, every time your teens complain, make them watch that show, and they will be “scared-straight.” There’s nothing glamorous about jail, it’s not a funhouse, There are 91 episodes. That’s enough episodes so that they make good choices by the time they are done watching the show.

Did you get your COVID-19 booster shot yet? If you are eligible, it will immunize you from the virus for an additional 6 months.

Until Next Time!

We did it. We politely yet impatiently asked Jesus, Allah, Buddha, (and the Autobots) for rain for the past couple of months, and now, Northern California will receive some. The downside is that there will be some mud slides and dangerous weather-related activity near the Lake Tahoe region. The upside is that it ought to be the end of Summer Fire Season in the region. If projections stay: “Once In A Century Type Storm’ Sunday To Monday is on its way. Be prepared, and be careful.

I hope everybody had fun at Amsterdam Dance Event 2021 and the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs party. Congrats to all the winners! Looks like David Guetta won this year. Check out one of my favorite songs by him “Everytime We Touch.” Sama Abdulhadi should have made the list, and I hope she does next year. Very excited about Amelie Lens being on the list.

I think that Nick Bostrom has made a lot of progress on his next book (He wrote “Superintelligence”). Can’t wait for his next writings!

I just got AIRWOLF on DVD. About 10 years ago I was MEDEVAC from a serious car accident. I’d like to think those guys/gals are still out there saving lives. They are real-life superheroes. I think of them everyday.

I’m hoping for new avatars on the way, including Bumblebee, which I’m crazy excited about!

I got 2 NFTs from DC Fandome, including Wonder-woman and Superman. I’d love to get Batman.
