Y'all know the Dolly Parton song Graphene.

Graphene, Graphene, Graphene, Graphene

I'm begging of you please don't take my man

Graphene, Graphene, Graphene, Graphene

Please don't take him just because you can

Thus in mockery the system fails. Detouring a few hundred years of globalism is fun.

Your link led me to a link about the rationale behind the cominaty brand name.

Seems it was to sound like community and have mRNA association, and Covid.

I don't know that anyone uses the name though.

Do you have anyone to warn, other than us Substackers?

I don't. A couple whom I have not given up on, but they don't reply.

My credibility among those who are fully vaccinated is close that to Cassandra had in her time and place. Mind forg'd manacles. Go along with the plan and ask no questions and ignore coincidence. Every vaccinated person I know has had Covid. Is there a soul dismayed?

NO. Why? Unclear. I think though because prosperity in obedience never failed to reward this adversity is viewed as a peculiar moment of double think. On the oder of " I got Covid after vax, BUT, no hospitalization, no intubation, and it was like the flu. Vaccine saved my wife."

We are part of a group that is getting so advanced in our realisations that it is hard to converse with those only starting the journey. They are boring and it is tedious and feels patronising to get way down to their level.

So there's another divide.

Yes I had this thought, which drolly enough, came from a downhill view of scowling Greta on the side of a building 5 blocks away. First I thought of the Japanese artist with 100 views of Mt. Fuji and thought a book. Then the idea came, only a few see in the light the portrait of The Old Norse name Angrboða

.

This has been translated as 'the one who brings grief',[2] 'she-who-offers-sorrow',[1] or 'harm-bidder'.[3] The first element is related to the English word "anger", but means "sorrow" or "regret" in Old Norse, the later meaning is retained in Scandinavian languages. In Norwegian and Danish the word is rendered as "anger" while Icelandic and Faroese has "angur" and Swedish "ånger". The second element "boða" is cognate with the English word bode as in "this does not bode well". Eyes open view https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ca/a1/85/caa185e269455b515c24dc59aa5102fe.jpg

Awful to have scowling Greta as part of your streetscape.

I forget where in the world but somewhere had Jabcinda in Muslim -face on the side of a building.

Don't give them any more ideas.

I was *manning* a stand today at a supermarket. Encouraging submissions against a two lane cycleway on a one way arterial route. Removing 140 carparks and two bus stops.

Absolutely most people against it but a lot apathetic about any point in objecting. And a couple didn't want to be singled out as complainers.

Some cycleway ideologue fanatics to whom I refused to be riled.

Last table situation was trying to change some murderous military slaughter.

A more interesting one which makes me smile was raising money for TecNICA in the Black Repertory Theater in Berkeley. The organization building off politics --Nicaragua going down -recognized that when the ANC said 4 Frontline States need your help they had to pivot. I was a fundraiser. I said look across the street.
