Today an established local radio personality messaged me to ask if I think he should start a podcast (because I have a podcast). YES! I don't know the guy at all, or know what pod he wants to start, but go for it. Don't waste time trying to decide what it should be, just hit record and let it become what it is. The most important thing is that its something YOU are interested in. Theres an audience for every single crazy topic, the most important thing is that YOU are passionate about it.
Sure, but isn't that what everyone is thinking? I mean, everyone has a unique experience that'd be interesting to heat. But, if too many flood the market with not great podcasts then it makes it harder for the audience to sift the wheat from the chaff.

Have a friend who wants to start a newsletter. He sent me samples and asked for advice. I pretty much told him the same thing --- just start, publish, learn as you go. Being online that way is like hanging your bare ass out a window. Just do it and don't hesitate.
Re: Podcasts. The market is already flooded and there's way more chaff than wheat. Who cares? If you really want to express something, better to jump in.
Perhaps, but its a (mostly) free form of expression/art. It's like someone saying they want to try to paint but they're not sure what to paint. Would you tell them to not try because they'll flood the market with crap? Of course not...TRY! Go for it. The cream will always rise to the top.
Psh. I actively discourage my oldest child from painting. Derivative trash.

Bummer. My kids draw things that will haunt my nightmares for the rest of my life.

On this day in 1943, my home town of Podgorica, Montenegro, was completely destroyed. Over 100 B-24 bombers of the US Air Force dropped 260 tons of bombs in a single day. There were four (4) German casualties, about 100 from the ranks of collaborator troops, and 400 civilians (800 total during the whole campaign) out of the population of 10,400 from before WWII. The US killed more people overall than the Axis forces of Italy and Germany combined.
Yeah but you probably got all them freedumbs now
We are freedumb as fuck.
Are we going to have a freedumb off?

Well played. Well played indeed.

Pork butt and brisket were put on the smoker at 0500 (hour and a half ago). South Dakota rules are in place, which means I’ve already cracked a beer with my favorite cop.

Spent most the day fishing with my younger brother and his son (my godson). Fishing was quite good today, at that secret location north of Albert Lea.

That is really bizarre. That's like a backwater part of the war. There must have been some insane reason for it, like the US had all these bombers in the area but were trying to get Italy on their side so didn't want to bomb them and just found someone nearby. I'm sorry it had to be you.
Edit: So, the allies didn't land in Sicily until July of '43 - where would these airplanes have been based from?
Wiki says: "The bombing of Podgorica in World War II was carried out by the Allies from 1943 until 1944 at the request of the Yugoslav Partisans."
But Yugoslavia was this artificially constructed nation no? With lots of hatred between different people within?

Not really. It didn't resolve the historic grudges and differences within the region, but it was mostly fine for almost 50 years, until Tito died and the communist rule started to fail, giving way to old ambitions, grudges and myths. At the beginning of WWII there were several pro-Axis movements that tried to take advantage of the occupation but by 1943 the communist Partisan resistance had ended up as the only true force fighting the invaders, and they fought both the Axis troops and the "domestic traitors", unifying the front and receiving help from the Allies. The recent revisionism of the region's antifascist fight is a whole new can of worms...
It's weird that the initial syllables in woman (woh-) and women (wih-) are pronounced differently despite being the same letters. It's weird that the second syllable dictates how the first is pronounced.

Also, if the whole UFO stuff going around is any indication that we might genuinely see some kind of Contact "soon," I'm more apt to believe they are gonna think us too barbaric to live and just dust the planet to allow it to restart. And I honestly couldn't blame them if they take that view.
Although, I've not seen anyone plainly and rationally break down all that recent report stuff and what it all "really" means.

Just keep in mind that UFO stands for UNIDENTIFIED Flying Object, and doesn't necessarily mean it's aliens or alien spacecrafts. Given the size of the universe, the likelihood of it being aliens is possible, but not very likely.

I’m guessing Aliens lock their doors when they fly past Earth.

Oh I know. That's probably in part why they changed it to UAP recently. To get away from the "IT'S ALIENS!" reaction. But given some of the reports, I dunno how any country on Earth could produce machinery or vehicles that could do what some people are claiming these things have been seen doing. That would be a gigantic, nigh impossible-to-keep secret.

I stumbled upon this site a while back, and it's the best synthesis of this info I've been able to find thus far. The War Zone has been covering this stuff for a long time now and this article, from April, pulls a lot of threads together, like a massive extract of all the reporting they've done and theories they've developed to explain the possible significance and ramifications of what we've been seeing.
Two of the key points to take away, I think:
1. There is an endemic cultural problem surrounding "UFOs" that actively hampers investigation and work in this field and has left the USA vulnerable to short-range ballistic and drone-based attacks.
2. The evidence of the physics-defying UAPs is not visually observed but rather recorded via other detection systems like radar; as such, the simplest explanation is not unknown and groundbreaking advances in aerial technology (or aliens) but rather these same radar systems succumbing to electronic warfare (this technology is real and not at all "advanced" so to speak and the USA has its own systems for doing this)
Giving up in 2020. Who cares.

Number 2 here is inaccurate based on the 60 minutes report that aired two days ago. There's photos of these things inside the cockpit of fighter jets. 4:39 in the video below.
And I'm not sure why that would even matter if they can catch these things on infrared and radar. That's pretty telling there's something physically there.
