  1. In a similar vein to "Watermelon Man", I need to add, "The Blackening," which I initially overlooked, but I was drawn in once I saw it on Netflix's "before it leaves soon" page. It's genuinely hilarious and the best satire horror comedy I've seen in a while! It's about a group of college friends meeting up at a cabin in the woods after a hiatus - you know, the "life 'be lifing'" type of excuse for absence. So, like any cabin in the woods horror flick scenario, the first to die is a black person - but who's the first when everybody is Black? Well, surely it has to be the Blackest one, right? I hollered when they pointed to the actual African in the group. Anyway, that's the premise of this satirical flick, and it is really funny. Tongue-in-Cheek funny! So, although The Blackening was released in 2023, it should be a contender for this list because it absolutely has staying power.
  2. Pareto principle - 80/20% Or 20% of the people do the work. While 80% folly. "vital few", "trivial many" And the vital few group is usually very diverse.
  3. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2026/05/11/hantavirus-cruise-ship-quarantine-passengers-updates--live/90023430007/ A few people have died & others are sick after picking up Hantavirus on a cruise ship. Hantavirus comes from rodent excretions. They seem to think a stop in Argentina may have exposed passengers to the virus. Hantavirus is spread among humans by close contact. Supposedly, it's not transmitted as easily as other viruses. There's no cure for Hantavirus. It has to run its course. People with healthy immune systems recover. Compromised folks may have a harder time. The World Health Organization and other medical professionals are telling folks not to worry too much about the spread of Hantavirus. Guess they don't want the pandemic panic attacks. In the meantime, passengers are being quarantined & traced. The media is running with scissors. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  4. Whenever the dust settles, POTUS OJ will be clinically defined as a megalomaniac. That will explain his narcissism, misogyny, pettiness, insecurities, etc.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜Ž
  5. This is not Del,. Del just popped into my mind when I saw the cover :-) I bet it does favor him as a kid
  6. Absolutely. Only a small percentage of the population has ever been smart enough to do great things. Creativity & innovation aren't tied to literacy rates. Same goes for basic human behavior. Last week, a few astronauts returned from a trip around the moon supposedly.๐Ÿ˜‰ NASA still uses a lot of the same engineering of 50 years ago to build the spacecraft. Heat shields prime example. Computer & AI is derivative technology built up over the past 50 years & counting.๐Ÿ˜Ž
