What happened to Rock n Roll
Reality TV shows are literally the lowest common denominator in contemporary American culture, and they're one of the reasons why Trump is so popular, and also one of the reasons why America is on a swift decline as a nation. As a culture we need to wean ourselves away from reality TV, it is a heinous influence. These kinds of people bring absolutely nothing to the table. Same applies to much of social media. It is weakening contemporary society it is causing gen Z to be the weakest generation in the history of mankind and it appears to be stifling creativity on every level. I attribute it to the extreme lack of talent at this time. Alot of the current crop of musicians just do not have the training, the talent, the dedication, the voices, the bands, or the juice that musicians of the past had. I search and search for music I like, and these days it is a tough search. I realize I say this as an older guy, but I am very open minded about music, listen to hiphop (mostly old school, progressive, trip-hop, and underground) jazz, pop, folk, world, and more. And I can say there is not much out there these days that is deep, satisfying, soulful, and memorable. I think there were 3 great music period in our lifetimes. From around 1965 to the early 1970's. An explosion of amazing music, lyrics and social awareness. From the late 70s to the late 1980s. Incredible funk, old school hip hop, and great British music from bands ranging from Joy Division to Depeche Mode to the Cure (the ballads), Morrissey, Tears for Fears (the ballads), Radiohead, Phil Collins/Genesis, Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart, NWA, Dre, Ice Cube, and so many more. Then Electronica, hip hop and rock from around 1996 to about 2003. Amazing creativity. DJ Shadow, Tosca, Faithless, Lamb, Red Snapper, DJ Krush, Coldcut, Zero 7, N.E.R.D., Yogi B and Natchatra, Pearl Jam, Bush, Gorillaz, Boards of Canada, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, the Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, 2pac, Biggie, etc. Brilliant stuff. Since then? The National? U2? Not much. Dreadful hip hop, way too much lousy pop, boring and lifeless lyrics, and not much content. Reflective of Gen Z? Who knows. Just not much there. -

Report Bangkok Blackout: MEA Blames Technical Glitch, Not Cyber Threat
Photo via Facebook/ Elfza Suriya A widespread blackout hit several areas of Bangkok last night, sparking concern and speculation among residents. The Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) confirmed today that the outage, which left parts of the city in the dark, was caused by an internal technical issue, dismissing fears of cyber threats or terrorism. Residents in Saphan Khwai, Dusit, Phaya Thai, Phahonyothin, and Rama VI experienced the unexpected power cut around 10 pm. Many took to social media, frustrated by the lack of prior warning from the MEA. The sudden blackout came amid existing tensions at the Thailand-Cambodia border, leading some to wonder if the outage could be linked to the conflict. Speculation intensified due to the proximity of some affected areas to military sites. With homes uncomfortably warm, many residents ventured outside, seeking refuge from the heat and looking for answers. Criticism mounted against authorities for their slow response in providing information to the anxious public. By 11:30 pm, power was restored to most areas, according to reports from Channel 7. However, a number of residents noted that their homes remained without electricity for over two hours. In an official statement, the MEA clarified that the blackout resulted from a technical malfunction at a local substation during routine upgrade preparations. Engineers managed to redirect the electrical load to an alternative substation, allowing for a swift return of service. The MEA emphasised that the incident was strictly technical, with no links to terrorism or cyber malfeasance. Specialist teams are conducting a thorough investigation to identify the root cause. The authority has pledged to introduce preventative measures to avert future occurrences. To keep the public informed, the MEA maintains a daily schedule for planned electricity outages on their website. For today, 6 August, disruptions are anticipated in the following areas: 8:30 am to 3:30 pm Ekkachai Road: Soi Ekkachai 131 and Soi Lalin Greenville Village Phutthamonthon Sai 1 Road: Soi Phutthamonthon Sai 1 Soi 17 and nearby areas Intharawat Road: Around Soi Intharawat 23 9 am to 2 pm Ramkhamhaeng Road: Soi Ramkhamhaeng 118, Intersection 46-9 9 am to 3 pm Sukhumvit Road: Soi Sukhumvit 39 (Soi Phrom Chit) Residents can monitor the MEA's announcements for updates and further information on scheduled outages. The blackout incident has underscored the necessity for transparent communication between the authorities and the public, particularly in times of crisis. As the city gets back to normal, the pledge for more robust systems and preventive measures will be closely watched by those impacted by the blackout.

Anti-vaxers relying on discredited doctor's claims about COVID vaccines... again!
"While mutations in viruses can affect vaccine efficacy, they don't necessarily render mRNA vaccines completely ineffective. The extent of the impact depends on the specific mutation and its location on the virus, particularly concerning the target of the vaccine. For example, mutations in the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 have been shown to affect vaccine effectiveness, but mRNA vaccines are still considered protective against severe illness". -
