Zingers, pithy remarks, and epigrams
I remember seeing Mahha GoGoGo on TV when I was young. It fascinated me that the characters had round eyes. The stories were silly and innocuous.
The English title was Speed Racer. The Japanese title Mahha GoGoGo comes from Mach Vehicle 5 Go is my guess. The characters first name is Go so it might be part of the title too. The “M” on the helmet is for Mifune Motors. Speed Racer’s Japanese name is Mifune Go.
I don’t want to take clicks away from a cartoonist so I will but up a link.

I like the cartoon because it mixed the old way of thinking with the realities of the present. It is about higher education.

Hot Beverages
The above picture is of green tea. It is something I drink but rarely make for myself. My preferred drink is black tea with milk.
Occasionally this without the whipping cream.
What is your go to hot liquid? Are there any unusual things you like?

Time for something from Chesterton. (I have to keep Blumroch happy.)
- What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but an absence of self-criticism.
- Moderate strength is shown in violence, supreme strength is shown in levity.
- The reformer is always right about what is wrong. He is generally wrong about what is right.
UPDATE: There was originally only the first quote but then I founds some more.

Candy
When I was a young boy, candy seemed magical. For a few coins I could buy something special. Here is a picture of a old favorite. These were small but had a strong chocolate punch.
Please share some sweetness in the comments.

Recently I have been the one with the storms coming my way. Now the hurricane has come near my friends in America. I hope everyone is okay and I would like to make sure. If you have heard from our southern members or if you have power and can comment yourself please do.

Trigger warning: This video is extremely non-PC. Meltdowns may occur.
In this climate writing a book called “The Diversity Delusion” has got to be gutsy but to be able to defend the book has got to going to 11. I haven’t watch the full video but the beginning has college students “dying”.
My response to people not liking the video is, “Women must not only be heard but believed.”*

We know from the statistics that the decline in bowling has doomed society as we known it. It maybe too late but in a last ditch effort to Make America Strike Again I offer this video.

Will Vinton, the person who created Claymation, has died at age 70.
It is sad to see someone who brought happiness be no longer with us. I love creative people who think outside the box. Will Vinton did that.

20th Century was like no other. Many things happen for good and for ill. It was unprecedented in technological advances. 10s of millions of people died needlessly. Did the good outweigh the bad or did the bad outweigh the good? What grade would you give it? Please explain how you chose that grade?
It really doesn’t matter what the score is at the beginning of the game or at halftime. All that matters is the score when the final buzzer sounds. Or as we like to say the Xanax bell. 🙂

Kanye West is causing trouble for Lefty again. It all started when he said something nice about Candace Owens in the spring. Next thing you know, he was seen sporting a MAGA cap and saying good things about the president.
Apparently, he went off on a rant on last night’s Saturday Night Live, after the end of the broadcast, that was captured on video:
They bullied me backstage. They said “don’t go out there with that [MAGA] hat on.” They bullied me backstage. They bullied me!
…
Ninety percent of news is liberal. LA, New York, writers, rappers, musicians. So it’s easy to make it seem like it’s so, so, so one-sided.

To think at one time I valued this person’s opinion. Civility has turned into shiv-ility. That is the ability to put the shiv in and twist. In the name of smiling fairness they destroy it.
