Just A Thought

 I just watched the NBC nightly news and there was not one single story about the ‘workers over billionaires’ rallies that took place across the United States today.  How pathetic is that!  NBC’s News coverage is a failure, and they are failing their viewers.  How incredibly disappointing. ☹️👎 Good Lord now I sound like Donald Trump. 😵🤐

This is adorable and shows how unique and intelligent dogs are.  The dog even went and got a toy purse to hold in her mouth before going back to the mirror.  Did the wings and purse actually enable the dog to understand and comprehend her own image?   This is amazing!  Human children learn to recognize their own image at about 18 months but I believe that some achieve this recognition sooner.  Experiments have been done to determine when children comprehend that they are seeing their own image in mirrors.  Experimenters have placed a red spot on the foreheads of the toddlers and if they look into a mirror and see a red spot on the forehead of their mirror image and then they reach up to touch their own forehead because they are wondering what the dot is, this demonstrates that they comprehend that they were seeing themselves in the mirror. Yes doggy, you looked very beautiful in your wings!! 💗🐕 I understand that the dog was trained to look into the mirror...

 Wow Cenk Uygur!  Thank you for your passion and your voice for justice.  You are a person that the American people need to listen to at this time! https://youtu.be/GQq6nvrfvQ8?feature=shared

 Wow, this guy is so intelligent, articulate and spot on.  Thank you Brian Tyler Cohen.  You are a voice that needs to be heard and a strength in the fight for America’s Democracy!!  You are an important and very much needed 21st century patriotic!   https://youtu.be/FC6gGyvv6JI?feature=shared

 A “not today kind of day” is a day when you wanted to work on something but then the whole day goes by and you haven’t even started yet because you were doing other things.  You then realize that it’s a “it will have to wait until tomorrow” kind of night. 

Why don’t Sasquatch‘s ever get lost? Because they always leave a trail of bigfoot prints. 🦶🦶 🥁

 If people have misinformed opinions, then they will have a hard time in attempting to demonstrate how they know what they believe they know.   If I find myself scratching my head and questioning how I know something that I feel that I believe and know, then I would be open to and seeking any information to either confirm my understanding or change it.  When it comes to knowledge, if I feel or have reason to think that there might be mistakes in my thinking, then I would obviously prefer to adjust my thinking to incorporate facts and information that I did not have.  I would rather be smart than stubborn and rigid with opinions that I feel the need to be right about.  I trust my own rationality and intelligence enough to be able to evaluate facts and information presented to me without feeling any kind of threat to my intelligence or judgment.  I want to be able to think with as much wisdom and knowledge and intelligence as possible.  I want to have in...

 Walking through one of the interactive art rooms at Hopscotch in San Antonio.  In one of the videos, I asked myself if it was a mirror that was in front of me. Well, duh, that is why I could see myself. 🤭 I guess I was just spellbound by all the lights and I wasn’t thinking clearly. 🤪

Well, if the White House has a roof that’s good for walking on and if the roof is accessible through a door, then why not go for a walk up there. 😎  It doesn’t seem that odd.  The headlines cracked me up though. 😂 If President Trump had for some reason snuck out through a window on his own and just started strolling around the White House roof, now that would seem really funny! 😂 Well, I guess I have to admit that I actually climbed up on and ran around on a roof myself a couple of times and it wasn’t even a level roof.  I was very young though.  Normal is boring. 🤪

I just noticed something about this entry of mine from last summer.  It was written on July 4th.  How coincidental and fitting is that?  I did not plan this and at the time did not make the association between what I was writing about and the date.  https://justathougtblog.blogspot.com/2024/07/political-lowpoint.html Below is a response from Chat&Ask AI in regard to a couple of questions that I had about the signing of the declaration of independence and fashion at that time.  I would have to do more research to confirm the accuracy of this information.

  When we have empathy for others and wish to extend our kindness and concern to them, we are also engaging in an act of self-care for our own hearts and souls.  This is an important lesson for human beings to learn in life.  It is very unfortunate at this time that there are world leaders who are completely blind and fail to comprehend the truth of this reality and that they have followers who don’t comprehend this failing and weakness in the so called leaders that they believe in and support as leaders.  Empathy and kindness is something that all human beings are worthy of and deserving of receiving.  There are no people on this planet who are less deserving or worthy than any others of being treated with human decency, fairness and compassion. 

 Life is ironic in that we come to have understanding about things at times beyond the times when we really could have used this understanding.  I was rereading and editing an older entry and this is what led me to this thought.  https://justathougtblog.blogspot.com/2023/09/advice-to-younger-self.html

 I was going to try to slow down and add less new content so I could have a chance to edit and improve what I have already written and then I had another thought.  I just had this idea that Americans should all start sending Donald Trump videos showing him the most hard to watch images and stories coming from Gaza.  I do wonder, if he did actually watch them, could he be persuaded to care?  Might he find himself desiring to cease condoning, supporting and funding the devastation and murder of the innocent people of Gaza?  Or is that not within the realm of his psychological mindset? I realize that my thoughts above are actually really stupid thoughts.  As president of the United States of America, it is Mr. Trump’s job to be fully aware of and to understand what is taking place in his own country and with the United States of America’s involvement in other parts of the world.  If he is stupid enough to be clueless about really important and significant...

I need to slow down and add less new content until I have had a chance to reread and edit what I have already written.  I just spent a good amount of time contemplating and attempting to improve my entry on “The Bible And Spirituality”. https://justathougtblog.blogspot.com/2023/09/bible.html I have a long way to go with my editing and I also have my other site to work on! 😲

 I think Fox News is a crap news station that I don’t typically ever watch unless there is a specific story that I want to see for some reason.  I love the unseen bottom half of this story though.  What’s with Kevin O’Leary’s suit jacket and tie paired with flower pants and pink flip flops?  I like his attire choice while appearing on Fox News.  😄😂 Is this some kind of statement? 😎  Sometimes I like that this is a bonkers period in world history. 🤩🥳   https://youtube.com/shorts/ix_RBS4XTik?feature=shared

 Hey.  I wanted to put that together. 😄

 Note:  I have realized that the image above appears to be an AI image and not an actual mural on a building in France because of the way the hands look in addition to there being an odd line through and above the right hand.  I am leaving what I wrote though because it is all still true except for the part about this image existing as a mural on a building in France.🇫🇷  Wow.  This is how others are now viewing the United States of America.  Am I proud to me an American?  No, not at the present time.  Actually, that’s not fair.  I do love my country but I absolutely don’t love or approve of what is going on at this time under our current president and his administration and his subservient Republican politicians.  In addition to the outrageous and inhumane deportations taking place within our own country, our country is supporting and helping to fund a genocide.  How low can our country possibly sink in the 21st century?  It ...

 Below is a link to a message worth watching from Bernie Sanders that was shared on Secular Talk.  I also really liked the additional video that I have linked below. https://youtu.be/zwVjj5xyv74?feature=shared https://youtu.be/Za4kxlbYPAg?feature=shared
