Every Sunday I pick the best reads that blew my mind in the previous week. It can be…anything! I like to be eclectic and despise salesy/clickbait/sameold content you read…everywhere else!
As always, click on the headline to be taken to the original source. Sometimes I insert my incendiary comments on article excerpts between [brackets].
Stepping Into the Uncanny, Unsettling World of Shen Yun
You have seen the posters about the amazing dance performance you can go see. They are everywhere. My wife even took my daughter once without telling me, I couldn’t believe it. She quickly realized that this is a…weird cult trying to indoctrinate the masses. Writer exposes them. AVOID this crap!
It’s an entertaining read. I could excerpt…way too many parts. So I am not going to ruin it, go read it if you are interested.
Rick Steves Wants To Set You Free
This is a wonderful article about Rick Steves who has been around for ever! And I must admit I just have not known enough about the guy and his work. Of course I was aware of him, who isn’t? But I just never fell for his mystique. After this wonderful in depth piece about him I must say I really like the guy. I admire his tenacity and work ethic. And what he stands for. And at the end the whole piece turns very “green” #weed š
āShe Never Looks Backā: Inside Elizabeth Holmesās Chilling Final Months at Theranos
This is another expose on Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of Theranos. Which was exposed as a huge fraud. And amazingly this person is not in jail…yet!
It is a very entertaining read…about a psychopath…This is the byline:
At the end, Theranos was overrun by a dog defecating in the boardroom, nearly a dozen law firms on retainer, and a C.E.O. grinning through her teeth about an implausible turnaround.
Enjoy š
List of Common Misconceptions
One of my proudest finds. A Wikipedia masterpiece page imho!
This is a list of common misconceptions. Each entry is formatted as a correction, and contains a link to the article where the misconception is described. The misconceptions themselves are implied rather than stated.
There are many here, you will love this!
My favorite one, LOL:
The ancient Greeks did not use the word “idiot” to disparage people who did not participate in civic life or who did not vote. An į¼°Ī“Ī¹ĻĻĪ·Ļ was simply a private citizen as opposed to a government official. Later, the word came to mean any sort of non-expert or layman, then someone uneducated or ignorant, and much later to mean stupid or mentally deficient.
Never before seen Nasa photos show the majesty of space travel
And something for your beautiful eyes, enjoy these amazing photos!
Ok, we were short on excerpts today due to lack of time…so here is a bonus link for you!
Float Documentary
This is a must watch short film! I repeat, it is MUST WATCH!
I had NO IDEA this even existed, consider me mesmerized/impressed/wowed…you know what I mean!
In the ultra-competitive sport of elite, stunningly-designed indoor model airplanes, a wild-card newcomer threatens to knock a teammate off his world champion throne.
Float follows a struggling newcomer seeking glory in the world of competitive model aviation as he threatens to knock a teammate out of first place. Introverted pilots are passionately devoted to this elite, century-old sport, fighting to keep it alive. Ethereal airships hang weightlessly in cavernous halls above the pilotās heads, holding their hopes and dreams on gossamer wings.
Lets see in how many other blogs this appears next and see who HTs me smh.
And I leave you with this…

Saw that Shen Yun piece recently after my wife saw posters in London and expressed interest. If I knew theyād reached Michigan I would have sent it over. Odd how local cult members are expected to fund local advertising, which in London is running to millions.
They.Are.Everywhere!
They actually leave flyers in my office every year, which I’ll now promptly recycle…
Silver! For the Pacific North West!
This is some great reading today! Thanks!
Theranos in the.morning! Good stuff!
I am tired reading about Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes. I can understand that people laugh at her and all the eccentric events. However, YOU should all be concerned about the lack of due diligence and the accuracy of diagnostic tests that you expose yourself to. Theranos is a symptom of a greater failure. There are many, many bogus biotech companies trying to survive. Why did it take 1~0 years for a WSJ journalist to finally reveal the fraudulent behavior of Theranos? Along the way there were many, many journalist enabling Holmes to screw the diagnostic world. Biggest flag in biotech: if you have a new fancy technology with zero publications in peer reviewed journals, DO NOT USE THE TECHNOLOGY do NOT INVEST in the TECHNOLOGY.
How could Walgreens get into bed with this company??? Due diligence? Not at one of the biggest pharmacies in the US! Here’s the dummy test: borrow the Edison machine. Take blood samples the new way and the old standard way. Compare the test run with the Edison machine and your standard Quest/Labcorp test. If there’s agreement, great. If not, tell the company to go to hell.
Sadly, Holmes would not allow anyone to “borrow the Edison machine.” According to HBO’s “The Inventor,” someone (don’t remember who) requested one for exactly the reason you state, but only received a nonfunctional “dummy” version.
Your “dummy test” = when you want to test the machine yourself, but can only get a dummy version of the machine … Hey, dummy! Don’t invest!
I cant wait til they release the Mueller investigation and all this collusion spills out. Cant wait. Finally we get to overthrow the POTUS.
Good luck with that.
Definitely worth 22 months wait. For the record, the Ken Starr report was much better. Where else can you read about a prez taking advantage of a young girl? Taxes well spent!
We have 300 hundred bloggers blogging abt the same shit. And most just keep pumping their readers with their affiliate cc links. Remember when you said something positive about Monkey Miles? He has run out of things to blog about and just pumps credit cards every day these days…
Great links, phucking ShenYun, had no idea! And Float rocks!!
The only hope is to get the phucking moron voted out in 2020.
Hope we get a moderate Dem and not a “Socialist” š
I am going to watch some basketball for a change…
You are so cute to pretend the field isnt a bunch of socialists
Glad to see you Rick Stevesā comment. I have been a fan way back since the 80ās when he use to publish his light, fun 2-22 days books. He was a lone voice in the wilderness with packing light. However, Iāve learned to pack lighter than him as I looked as his lastest pack list . His basic carry and strap on backpack (almost 2 lbs) and with discounts can be had for $70 is great deal on an excellent bag. His TV shows are wonderful fun as well…
Great travel Ambassador!
