Sparky is a Nimrod.

Sparky thinks he is a mighty hunter.  He really just likes chasing rabbits.  Sparky is my little Nimrod because he can be clueless.

I spotted a rabbit, and released the hound.  Sparky chased the rabbit over the hill and into the bush.  He barks his ass off during the pursuit, but stops barking when his leash gets caught up in the trees.  Sparky was in dense brush, so it took me an hour of driving around in the quad and bushwhacking, to find him. 

I had walked within 10 feet of him, calling his name, but he hadn’t said a word.  Sparky sat there, so tangled up, he couldn’t move 6 inches, secure in the knowledge that I’d find and save him. When I did find him, Sparky was certain that he still had a shot at the rabbit.

Again, it took me an hour, crashing through brush and calling his name, for me to get to my dog.  When we got back to the house, Sparky was smiling like a lunatic because the chase went so well.

Sparky is so well-mannered and serene, it’s probably impossible to train him to bark on command.  He loves chasing rabbits, and there are plenty of them, so I’m not going to deny him that joy.  There has to be some technology to help me find my little Nimrod.

The Fall Guy movie is only okay at 6.5/10.

The Fall Guy is a movie that should have been better than it was.  Ryan Gosling plays a stuntman who had a relationship with a character, played by Emily Blunt, who wants to move up into directing.  He gets hurt on set, and drops off the map.  A couple of years later, when Blunt’s character is directing a movie, he is brought back ostensibly to work on the movie, but actually to be framed for a murder.

Two interesting items about The Acolyte.

Like everybody else, I loved Star Wars:  A New HopeBy The Last Jedi, I lost faith in the franchise.  After that, there had to be good buzz to bother watching.  The first two seasons of The Mandalorian and Andor were well done.

The Acolyte is interesting because it is getting extraordinarily bad reviews.  Following The Acolyte is more rewarding than watching.  Two topics I haven’t seen discussed.

RCP: Corporate media just admitted that Biden is too feeble.

RCP: Biden’s Debate

The exchange came within the first 15 minutes, and suddenly, fears about Biden’s age and acuity, concerns that were once only whispered among Democrats, were being discussed openly on the left. Before the night was over observers ranging from Andrew Yang, who competed with him for the Democratic Party nomination in 2020, to Van Jones, a CNN contributor who previously worked in the Obama administration, said it was time for Democrats to look for another nominee.

Joe Rogan has been talking about this for a few years, yet it comes as a surprise to people who rely on NPR and the NYT.  Rogan has no college degrees, but has wide ranging interests.  He is a successful comedian, actor, taekwondo champion, sports commentator and podcaster.  Rogan describes himself as a liberal, but thinks for himself.

The corporate media doesn’t think for themselves, and take a reliable progressive party line.  They aren’t honest.  Rogan is correct on major issues, more often than NPR or the NYT.

In 2018, the NYT ran an opinion piece on the intellectual dark web.  Anyone not following a few of these people are wrong or uninformed about the major issues in America.

The intellectual dark web is not an actual group of affiliated people, but a number of public, heterodox individuals.  People often named are Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Glenn Greenwald, Sam Harris, Heather Heying, Claire Lehmann, Bill Maher, Douglas Murray, Maajid Nawaz, Camille Paglia, Jordan Peterson, Steven Pinker, Joe Rogan, Dave Rubin, Ben Shapiro, Michael Shermer, Christina Hoff Sommers, Bret Weinstein, and Eric Weinstein.

If you aren’t following at least a few of these people, then modern American is a mystery to you.
