Did you know that the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet
Rhythm in your bedroom, rhythm in the street
Yes, the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The human face is a rich canvas of emotion, often described as a silent language communicating joy, sorrow, and history without words, revealing our inner world more profoundly than speech sometimes can, with lines mapping journeys and expressions reflecting the soul's true state.

Anatomically modern humans have taken 300,000 years to evolve to the point where we can turn our friends into gummies.

I sometimes enjoy modern life.

My meditation partners here, Lori, Tanya, & Benba are from three different continents and I thank them for the use of their likenesses!

I wondered what today’s “fuck you” from the White House would be today, didn’t you?!

Turns out it is “Fuck you, Catholic bishops!”

Now back to you, Rachel.

I understand that Xmas Eve is traditionally a slow news day.

But is this really today’s top story, Wall Street Journal?

Remind me what the Ethics in Government Act says about Presidents hyping a private company!

Call me crazy, but I could swear that I thought they may not use their title or authority to endorse any product, service, or enterprise.

Am I QUITE WRONG here or what?
