Living in the clouds waiting for the rocks to cool

 Turning Point USA America Fest. 

I noticed a few off the wall things, like I'm known to do. They had several different podium styles. The speakers at the opaque white podium cast a shadow. Making it look like they had a tail.  I found it fascinating since we all have a shadow side. Being reminded while listening to a presentation can distract from what is being said. It can also cause revulsion, or encourage a fear bias.

The shadow tails perhaps focused my attention towards other dual meanings. Social media was calling it Am Fest.  Now this noticing is move convoluted. TPUSA is thought of as a Christian based organization. I think most people understand Christianity has been hijacked. Aside from being a Christian org, it welcomes other religious beliefs. Now I don't want to define "other religious beliefs" because I don't want to focus on any belief because it isn't specific. It's vague and general. The use of the term Am Fest got be thinking about the new age movement of I Am, the hierarchy of rainbow colors, and the followers of St. Germain.  The nudging towards a hijacked version of being part of the body of Christ. I'm watching and praying for truth. The theatrical distractions find our blindspots, fears, and unresolved  moments we've encountered along our journey.  Numerous conversations could follow. Perhaps I'll be inspired.

Journalists vs Baby Jesus

 The news presenters are having a good time. Showing off caged animals. First calling them pigs. The fairgrounds decided to put a donkey, a goat, and two sheep together. Animal therapy, and love in the morning. I don't know why the news station would promote such an odd display. Perhaps it's a science project  to document what happens when different animals live together. It is news for Seattle which I think it's known for being a wealthy tech industry base. The holiday glee will be exponential at the retelling during the ugly sweater contest scheduled for later in the week. I don't want to minimize the value of good natured fun. The high GPA students from good families having a laugh is important. Having to dress modest, and follow strict etiquette can feel like a ton of bricks. A burden lightened by holiday mirth.

Technology but for who?

 I changed the setting on my phone. I increased the size of the font. The problem is doing that prevents me from being able to see the entire page. I needed to click a link that was no longer in the page view. I had to reduce the font size to proceed.  I can't be the only person that has encountered this.

AI vs Baby Jesus

I watched a YouTube video last night. In it carolers sang We Three Kings. The closed captions put a comma in a strange place. I watched the video again this morning the closed captions are now turned off.

Lyrics:

" Born a King on Bethlehem's plain, gold I bring to crown him again, King forever, ceasing never, over us all to reign "

Closed caption version:  

"...King forever ceasing, never over us all to reign..."

The comma between ceasing and never. The AI can't contextualize but you have to admit it is odd. Plus that I saw it. I wonder if the deaf community pointed it out and got the closed captions turned off. 

Heterosexual Humor

 I'd like to buy a vowel

What's the Point?

 The 2025 White House Christmas decorations had what looked like it could have been a framed needlepoint of Trump's mugshot. Needlepoint long considered Americana art. Reaching back to a time women were taught those types of craft or skills. To combine a dwindling art form, with an image that represents government corruption. It forms a thought process that has no where to go. So what is the point? End an art form to elevate corruption? Make corruption a feature to hang on the wall in homes across the country. To be celebrated,  to marvel at the intricate details. Again what's the point?

Cart ruts, chariots of fire, the rocks hadn't cooled

 Recently P Morgan, and J Fuentes talked at each other on camera. One part reminded me of the type of jokes that circulated when I was young. 

The topic of tampons came up in the video. It reminded me of the theme of jokes around biker culture. A woman is asked if she was ever picked up by the fuzz. Her answer is no but I've been swung by the tits. The topic of biker culture would reveal oddities of the lifestyle. People would say I heard this or that. It was usually something outrageous. One thing involved menstrual blood as ritual to earn rank or something.  The other was a woman was valued by if she could suck start a Harley. You can see how the humor became depraved nonsense because it was just people not being at all connected to what they were discussing. I also remember the tampon being called Dracula's teabag. Anyhow when the tampon word got tossed into the video it seemed like the torch was getting passed. I saw a video someone highlighted P Morgan said a gazillion groypers were antagonizing him. The term gazillion has been used to diminish the official count of deaths...

Anyhow my sensibilities have hung up the no vacancy sign. I could continue to document other key points but I realize how pointless the dialogue is when everything said can be shrugged off,  or purposefully misunderstood. 

In all seriousness if those are the stakes why do you need my input?

 Tis the season of baby Jesus. And.lo the angel of the Lord said to Mary...
