Topsy Turvy world

 Used to be when hair raising tales made the news headlines.  These days it is about Hair Cutting tales.  Especially when they involved the Speaker of the US House of Representatives.

Nancy.

This lady has her home in California.  And she grew sick of her hair.  So she went and got it cut or styled or whatever it is they do to women's hair so she can look 'Speaker-ish' on primetime TV.

The barber or Salon or whatever outfit that did said styling apparently video taped the incident and put it online.  Boom.. we got ourselves a day time soap opera.  See the state Guv said no indoor hairy business allowed because we got covid spreading indoors.

But Madam Speaker went ahead anyway?  She then defended and barber sued and then on and on and ...you get the idea.. bunch of morons all.

The Covid has also done more to expose the human condition that when faced with a real natural calamity of gigantic portions keep doing what is preached - fake it till you make it.  Except here the faking is causing utter chaos in an already chaotic world.

Johns Hopkins, an apparent authority on tracking covid positivity rates said - The problem with basing positivity rates on tests rather than people is that some individuals are tested more than once, and duplicative results from successive tests can skew the result.

Bottom line there is constant news stories of how every country and region on this planet is addressing the situation on the ground their own way and solving for it or attempting to.

No one really knows any answers.  But they keep guessing and the media which is certifiably the most air headed clown here keeps publishing unproven narratives left and right.

People that wore all kinds of masks come Halloween are suddenly the ones rebelling about the idea of wearing them in September. 

Fools that had no problem wasting toilet paper or TP as they like to call it by plastering people's home and trees, sometimes also on Halloween are now killing each other in grocery aisles to hoard it.

If this is not the bizarro world then what is?

On the go(zay masta) in Japan again

Cool cat the Japanese are Tokyo at dusk  My second visit to this land of the rising sun after almost a decade. Back then clearly I was wet behind the ears product manager and likely didn’t pay attention to all (efficient) things Japanese. But today I did and of course continue to be impressed. It is as much the obvious stuff like on time travel that is both clean and comfortable and all that which makes it possible. The impressive landmark and landscapes that these humans have put together despite their cramped (or because of it) surroundings and precarious geological conditions could amaze a novice architect among us. But it’s also the little things that someone had to think about which have a phenomenal impact on day to day lives that make the Japanese stand apart. Below are few random examples- 1. Providing a very fine machined wooden toothpick in every packet of wooden chopsticks. The said chapsticks are simply set on the To Go counter of any food vendor/ convenience store wher...

Presumptive Society

Today's world is hyper connected.  I am not so sure what it means but you hear it a lot.  It is probably hyper but not sure how connected it is.  Sugar (fermented or not) is available in many ways than before and so getting hyper is easy.  It is probably more a threat than cocaine since it is sold legally. And what is this connected stuff?  Most people I encounter seem disconnected from reality.  So going back to this assumption that we are connected there are subtle and no so subtle instances of how brands and companies and middle men try to portray someone - A linkedin profile for somebody working for X years at a place advertises to the connected network that so and so is CELEBRATING X years @ Such and Such Inc. Do we know if (s)he is celebrating or cringing?  Perhaps a better way to portray will be - So and So LASTED X years @ such & such inc. Then it exhorts the readership to go ahead and congratulate them for this lasting effe...

Greasy Dra'ch'ma

With all the furor in the media around Greece for the past couple of years I thought it would be good to list all things Greek that people use in common parlance - 1. Some of us are familiar with Greek history as being where the world's largest organized scam was born - called the Olympics. At the time this courier delivered a message by running a large number of miles and that got converted into a spectator sport. Nobody thought about what this implied? Fedex does not use any of the marathon runners instead relying on bio diesel trucks so not sure where we went from courier delivery to extracting money for tickets to watch people balance themselves on a pommel horse - which by the way is quite different from a Trojan Horse - 2. which brings me to the next invention from Greek mythology that finds use today - except used in the computer virus arena. This innocuos program is accepted by a computer since it looks friendly only to unleash undesirable effects leading to loss of s...
