![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I also nearly broke my TV when I saw A&E‘s Biography series on “Macho Man” Randy Savage which had the shit sniffing WWE spin on the legacy of one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. With that in mind, Reelz also did a documentary, not an autopsy episode, on Chris Farley that was simply wonderful and had tears running down my face. Yes, I nearly broke my TV over how annoyed I was with what I watched! That should show you my lack of stable thought. I love Chris Farley‘s work and though I’m not ignorant to the fact that he had major problems, I found that episode completely and totally disrespectful to the point that I turned off the TV with such force I feared I pressed the button down so hard it wouldn’t pop back out. You see, Reelz did an autopsy episode on Chris Farley that made my skin crawl. ![]() THE GUEST LIST: THE STATION NIGHTCLUB FIRE, AMERICA’S DEADLIEST ROCK CONCERTĪmerica’s Deadliest Concert: The Guest List TV show review - I can’t decide if I really like the TV station Reelz or if I was in their office meetings, I’d probably not be able to keep my mouth shut and set a record for the shortest lived employee they ever had. I thought that might be a good way to start the review as it shows how conflicted I am on the premise of even doing a documentary on the Station tragedy. ![]()

Worry much more about the process than teaching the scientific names of these critters-remember, the goal is to empower our kids to be curious explorers when we are not around. Start in the grass, and then move on to a decomposing log. Take your wee explorers outside and encourage them to explore and discover the tiny critters all around. ![]() What a sad loss for wee ones to take on such a feeling and miss out on this world of tiny creatures! Let’s instill a pro-bug (aka pro-nature) mindset! We spend time killing them, resenting their arrival at picnics, and flinching at their touch. So many adults openly exhibit anti-bug sentiments. Their tiny scale and huge numbers, the ways they move, the shapes and textures of their bodies, their colors, and more make them fascinating to people of all ages. Bugs are marvelous things, and they can help us inspire wonder, joy and curiosity. ![]() ![]() ![]() Just like the idea of a human living solely on beef, salt, and water. That is undeniably good advice.īut the notion that only those with neat and tidy personal lives are allowed to criticize the world, is dangerous nonsense. Ironically, having a messy personal life doesn’t mean that Peterson’s emphasis on personal improvement, on finding meaning through responsibility, isn’t worth listening to. And it’s a rule that has no basis in reality - historical heroes like Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. ![]() That rule functions as a cudgel, to crush the idealism of young people. It’s the kind of thing that sounds innocuous on the surface - after all, what’s wrong with practicing what you preach? Surely, there are plenty of obnoxious activists who could use that advice.īut the way Peterson promoted this rule wasn’t meant to encourage - he was essentially telling activists to be quiet, to accept the world’s structural injustices, because they were imperfect and didn’t clean their rooms, or whatever. ![]() "Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world." Which seems incredibly hypocritical, considering his big rule, one that he consistently touted while public speaking, which reads: Now, Peterson is back, and he is about to release another self-help book, titled, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life.

Just because it’s sparse doesn’t mean it isn’t memorable. You get the feeling that Sturgeon has sat on this one for quite a while, and thought about this from every angle. This sounds negative, but it isn’t! I think this may be due to Sturgeon’s sparse, efficient style and not at all the author trying to skim over something he hasn’t fully thought out. When another character says “wait that doesn’t make any sense”, the first says “of course it doesn’t!” and the narrative powers on. For some reason I can’t explain, Sturgeon’s world works incredibly effectively even when logical leaps are made that I just can’t make. ![]() The introduction of carnies will tend to do that. Theodore Sturgeon builds a word that has one foot in the mundane and one in the unusual. Just aliens that aren’t intednding to impact humanity at all. There’s no robots, no space travel (except implied), no aliens trying to take over (intentionally). The way this book unfolds is so subtly scifi and I love it. ![]() |
