    @Horace said in Jordan Peterson Update: How was it? I was a little disappointed, to be honest. The audience was interesting. I guess there were at least 5000 people in the audience. Many of them were very well-dressed, and the average age was surprisingly low. Many 20 somethings in the audience. I guess the average age was maybe 30. Many visitors from other countries, too - Croatia, Hungary, Austria, Germany. Peterson appeared on the stage with his wife. I was expecting that he'd talk about some idea from his book - as the title of the tour suggests. But instead the whole session consisted of his wife reading random audience questions from her phone and Peterson giving answers. I think that's a bad format that lacks focus and was somewhat repetitive relative to things Peterson said elsewhere. Peterson also missed the point of some of the questions and then went on a 10min rant about his misinterpretation that somehow always ended up being about Jung. His wife was completely silent apart from reading the questions off her phone - no clarifications, no follow-up questions, no interruption when he misunderstood the question. Before Jordan entered the stage, she made a rather strange advertisement for the businesses of her children, which I found a little inappropriate. Overall, I can't recommend it in its current format.

    My, my. Saw this coming. Frankly, I don't see how the city can regulate the behavior of people outside the city limits. https://www.statenews.org/government-politics/2022-05-11/lawsuit-filed-against-an-ohio-city-over-its-local-abortion-ban?fbclid=IwAR284qrREJpcTlFy2_Lt8cAReXmNSRfX5_zb5-eQ4ejhO3HmnO0S2ejQz9s

    @Mik said in Wolftrap: For those not familiar, this is where The Princess is managing productions this summer. Link to video Pikers... Give us 12 years and we will drive those idiots out of business. Don't worry! We'll give The Princess a job. I actually was very disappointed in the concert I went to on Memorial Day Weekend. The Park Rangers running the bag check and metal detectors were abysmally slow. I arrived at 6:15 for an 8:00 show and got in at 8:20. The worst part? Other lines did not have as much of a problem and were moving quickly, but they wouldn't let you switch lines. It was all based on which parking lot you came in. We arrived at 6:15, among the earliest arrivals, but there was not a single inch of lawn space left by time we got past security and taking a 2-year-old into the Filene Center and sitting in the actual seats? That isn't going to happen... Leaving was worse. They don't have parking lots, just fields. Now pulling in, they had probably a dozen parking attendants per field directing cars and creating lanes for cars and the pedestrians. Leaving? 1 person at the end of each field trying to create opportunities for cars to join the mayhem in the next field. It was like Mad Max. I saw 2 fights break out from a fender bender and somebody almost hitting a pedestrian. I will remind you, this was 2 fights in one field leaving a frigging Marine Corps Concert Band performance. This wasn't people leaving Slayer... Thank goodness it hadn't rained.

    Fuck musicality. This piece is supposed to sound like a machine, so you can just as well play it by a machine and increase the tempo. Link to video

    Hahah that is great! Reminds me of the chimp-like ape called a "bonobo" and their way of socially saying hello to a bonobo of the opposite gender (I'm being serious) is to go up and quickly have intercourse for 1-2 seconds. It's called a "bonobo handshake". I guess it's also called a Date with Jon's Sister.

    I wish. Riff-tracking off the most pompous piece of political bullshit since the McCarthy Hearings. Shucks, that dais with the big screen behind it reminded me of Apple's 1984 commercial. It's ripe for ridicule and parody. Just think of all the fun that could be, with the silhouettes of Fox's evening lineup cracking goofball jokes and cutting satire. Add in Laura and it could be The Four Horseman...
