FERRERMAN- AGAIN?

 Got into "Landman" with Billy Bob Thorton, recently. I wasn't sure that I would, as some media was saying it was too pro big oil. Maybe. But this is America and everyone is entitled to watch a mom or a nurse get shot down in the street and interpret the events as they see fit. Or, as others see fit for them. Choices. I was once big oil-adjacent, in the 80's, when I tended bar at The Petroleum Club of New Orleans. It was a private club for people in the oil bidness , 99.9% were white and male. Pretty sure I mentioned this before, where I was the Jackie Robinson of bartenders, breaking the color barrier, and becoming the first white bartender in the Club's history. It was a reverse Jackie Robinson though as prior to me, the bartenders (and wait staff) had been all black. The ol' boys preferred the old ways and many of the whites did not like me, simply because of the color of my skin, which was the same as theirs. Weird, huh? New Orleans is a different town, fo...

 Bibi Netanyahu probably knows more than anyone about Trump and the other principals involved with child rape and sex-trafficking on Epstein's Island. It has long been believed that Epstein worked for Mossad, Israel's intelligence service. Also, Putin's KGB and even *our* own CIA even though they habitually point out that they don't spy on Americans because they are not allowed to. Oh. OK. Who knew there were rules? Who knew those rules were followed? The word is that there are tapes of men raping these young girls. Don't doubt it. Why not? It's kompromat. It can be used for blackmail or coercion of political figures. I think the allure of the island was that it was a safe place to fulfill their horrific desires. In the mental gymnastics required to do something so wrong, they likely felt safe amongst their own kind. Everyone was doing it. They were not alone.  There was also, I gather, financial business afoot on the island. You get a bunch of rich guys togethe...

 Let's talk about the patriarchy. Not just us fellas- you gals can participate too. It's OK. MISTER Ferrerman said you could... Something I read or saw yesterday told me that men hate women and I'm pretty sure (whoever it was) it was a man making this statement. It wasn't being said in an angry, Andrew Tate frame of mind, but rather, a plain-talking, "let's face it" manner. It wasn't this person's confession, just his observation. Pretty blunt.  Well, I don't like to speak in absolutes about anything, but I am somewhat of A Noted Observer in life, so I gave this some further thought. To be ferrer, it's something I've often thought of throughout my life, so I had a head start. It may well be true. In relation to Trump and the Epstein Files, about the activities of the Epstein class, we have learned from those files that the wealthiest, most successful amongst us treat women as cum receptacles, necessary only as sexual objects and eye can...

Will one of our Olympic athletes give their Gold Medal to Trump? Probably not, but these days you have to ask. Then you have to ponder if a foreign winner might give up their gold, perhaps to keep their country from being bombed or their leader kidnapped in a ridiculous election fraud scheme. I mean, if there is one thing you do know these days, it is that you never know. With Trump, all things are possible. None of them are good.  I fairly enjoy the Olympics. There is no shame in my game in rooting for our American athletes. They represent the US, but I think they really represent themselves and the hard work and dedication it takes to try to achieve their own ultimate goal. I have to believe that is the same for these young people all over the world, in representing their country. They are competing against their peers in the rest of the world. That's sports, baby! Perhaps purer even, as our own sports leagues are pretty damn mercenary with trades and free agency dictating who yo...

I write down all my passwords as a convenience for me. I don't think the corporate sites have done this though. One could argue that, yeah, "It's easy for (me) to do that- you are just one person- but WE have millions of customers to bother with! How can WE remember YOUR password??!!" Good question, because evidently you can't! Got a phone notification that Xfinity billed me for $15 and some odd cents and if I wanted to know why, I could view the bill. OK. I did  want to know why, because that was an odd figure. Never been billed that before. Let's have a look. Mr. Ferrerman, enter and sign in please.  Email. 👍Password. No, that's incorrect. Really? How could that be? I doublechecked for lower case letters, got the required character and numbers... Ah, fuck it- let's do a password change. The fun thing about password changes is that sometimes you can change it to the password you have written down- the one they rejected- and that's a win. Other ti...

 Blimey! I remember reading once that there are people in England who could pretty much pinpoint the block that you live on, just by listening to you talk. I thought was a little fantastical. Watching my new favourite (<--- I'm learning British speak) show, the one with the starkers people in the coloured pods, I've learned the Brits are very  interested in their own people's accents. As with anything involving humans, there's a bit of prejudice in play. Like here only we're much bigger. What do we have for accents? You have your southerners, New Yorkers, Chicagoans, "Yinzers" in Pittsburgh- and that's pretty much it. I don't think even most southerners can tell where each other are from, in a simple conversation. I lived in Tennessee and I wasn't aware of any distinct accent's native to Tennessee, or any tells from surrounding hillbilly states. Beyond country mouse and city mouse in the south, I don't think that there are any offici...
