Thoughts for the day

Another windy day.

Note to self: One side blaming the violence on the other side is wrong. It’s both sides and both sides need to stop.

An new form of attack in Lebanon: Pagers. Hezbollah is blaming Israel for the deaths of two after their pagers exploded. They claim the pagers were hacked, had explosive device placed inside and reprogramed to explode upon command. That is very creepy. If anyone can do this to pagers, they can or soon will be able to do the same for phones.

Slang Words…

Red pill and blue pill

- Pop culture reference point: "The Matrix" (1999)

In Lana Wachowski and Lilly Wachowski's seminal 1999 sci-fi film "The Matrix," protagonist Neo (Keanu Reeves) is offered a choice by resistance leader Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne): Take the red pill and see the simulation he's been imprisoned in his entire life for what it is, or take the blue pill and forget he ever learned that anything was amiss in his digital world.

While this idea of enlightenment can be traced back to philosopher Plato's "Allegory of the Cave," the "red pill, blue pill" terminology has since been appropriated by conspiracy theorists who oppose things like vaccines and feminism.
