The Briar Patch

 I guess I should comment on the freedom convoy. Let me start with Elon Musks support. No one care Elon! Your the richest man on the planet, you have nothing in common with the unvaxxed wanting the right to work. I am sure you could shake out your couch and find more money than most of us have, Also please everyone stop acting like he is Tony Stark. He is smart we get that but he isn't sitting in a lab at SpaceX or Tesla building things. He bought those companies because he is a smart business man, while he may be arrogant enough to tell them to make him an Iron Man suit he isn't actually Tony..... Anyways I am fully vaxxed and boosted. I have people in my life elderly and immuno suppressed I love and would like to see and would hate to pass it on to them. Also my job is social I see a ton of people and often go to restaurants and stuff. I wouldn't be able to do my job without the shot. I also I want to freaking travel soon! Saying that, those are the reasons I am vaxxed NO...

 It might be time for the Fear The Walking Dead AMC franchise to just die & not come back. The original was amazing back in the day. 2010 it was pretty ground breaking stuff. The fact was it had great source material and it was good! There were some slow seasons and some great ones. It was limping by until Negan showed up and saved it. I don't know if it is click bait but I see a ton of stuff people saying they quit watching after he came. Literally for me had he not come I would have been done. Even that got old and really it is probably good we are on the "last" season as it is slowly dying. (I "" last season because I think we all know it is building to joining titles and maybe movies into one SUPER walking dead thingy) The sad thing is I had so much hope for Fear and honestly it has never lived up..... I feel some of this is recycled from old blogs but lets talk Fear TWD. The original trailers had Nick running from zombies as a junkie. It looked amazing,...

 I can't support the Democrats anymore. I will get to why but this doesn't really mean I support the Republicans either. This whole post is brought about by the anniversary of the attempted "coup" in the USA. Where "democracy" was ALMOST overthrown.... lol right Let me start with had you asked me up until 2013ish I probably would have said I support the Dems. Here in Canada I have always voted Con. (Republican if your not Canadian or close to it)  All my life it seems like I was told that was the right party to vote for & I freely admit a big chunk of that is because I grew up in Alberta. Kenney and the UCP are the first time at any level I did not vote for the cons. They seems power hungry (him for sure) and I never feel that is a good thing. Now as I grew up I voted for the cons as I believe they are the right choice. There is no virtue signaling. They simply do what is best for the people, even if it isn't popular. Of course they are painted as ri...

 Gonna say this is a mixed bag some poli and some pop culture. You were warned Bad women, the ripper retold I briefly brought up in my podcast blog but I want to touch on it and society a bit more here. First off, ALL theories on Jack the Ripper are valid. NO wait that isn't 100% true, some are so out there they aren't HOWEVER researched ones are. Hallie Rubenhold doesn't believe that though and it does make me a bit sad. Honestly her pod is great, she does something that I personally never heard before. Telling us where these victims of Jack came from, humanizing them. That is good work and I applaud her. The issue I take is with her stubbornness as much as "ripperoligists" she doesn't agree with. She has a fresh new look on the Ripper murders and that is great but it does not disprove any old theories.  The murders are over 100 years old. I highly doubt anyone will ever solve them now. The fact is these ladies could have been "sleeping" in dark all...

SPOILERS below just FYI for Witcher Netflix season 2 I said I wasn't doing this, in fact I have another blog almost good to go saying no more random blogs BUT I have to do this one. Its the Witcher! Its my jam! The books are awesome and I admit I sadly only played Wild Hunt I didn't do 1 or 2 but I do know the storylines.... So let me quickly jump into Netflix season 2.... First let me say I have heard more than once they have a seven season goal. I admit 7 / 8 seems to be the ideal length for shows. Look at Walking Dead and it dragging out and getting awful.... BUT I am asking for more than 7! Or at least more episodes / season if that is the plan. I pretty much watched the whole season in a Sunday afternoon evening. You could make 7 seasons just based on the Wild Hunt game let alone all the source material they are using for the show. (Hell Blood and Wine could be a few seasons & even Hearts of Stone is a season or 2) First off I want to say production value seems better....

 PODCASTS! FYI labelling this one pop culture. I will admit a tiny drop of politics may be mentioned but not much in this post.... I have had a lot of time on the road to listen to a few pods over the last month & next month I am sure I will be out spreading Xmas cheer so I will get a whole bunch more in. Let me tell you about them.... Actually let me start with some general Pod thoughts. First PODBEAN! get your shit together! I liked using the app, it seems like an indy app or something that people should support so we aren't all just on Spotify or apple music. However it is constantly dropping episodes. Not "loading files" I try every time to use it but then usually end up on Spotify. Also this is my blog and I would not listen to anyone tell me how to run it, so I do see the hypocrisy in this statement but if your going to run a pod, run it right. If you are a "factual" podcast then been factual and give the whole story! I will admit some pods that I am n...

This one is a VERY political post, if your not a fan of my politics maybe just close it.... As of this writing there has not been an announcement by the jury  Kyle Rittenhouse took 2 lives, for that he should face some sort of punishment. If you want my opinion I don't really care that he did BUT if we want a society run with laws and order yes sadly he should be punished. Now I don't think by any means it should be a murder 1 charge. You always hear these sob stories about how society failed someone, Kyle was failed by society. First off, if you look up Kenosha and what happened Wikipedia calls it "Unrest" It WASN'T fucking unrest there is over $50 million dollars in damage. It was arson and riots. Unrest is protesters with signs at the legislature grounds here, chanting or whatever they do. Hell unrest could be the blockades of pipelines. $50 million in damage is not fucking unrest, it is disgusting that mainstream media is painting it down. Call a spade a spade...
