Monday Stuff on the Way to Other Stuff: Surviving

     Life goes on at the House of Brick. We had a zany week, including a trip to Denver, another trip out 'wandering' with friends, and three days of other commitments. Some of it, especially the wandering, was a lot of fun. But I still have a lot of work to do before the month ends. 

     Had better get to it.


Meanwhile:

Fact-checking statements made at the Democratic Convention, courtesy of CNN. Fascinating.

Is the Shroud of Turin authentic, after all?  (I really have no certainty about this...but it is interesting.)

What's up with Anna Delvey lately. What a girl...

Mark Zuckerberg admits that Facebook DID shut down and censor posts (including those about COVID and Hunter Biden's laptop) after being pressured to do so by the White House. He also says FB would handle it differently today... really??  (Note: This link includes Zuckerberg's actual letter -- which you should read.)

A very funny batch of openings on Cheers' first season:


Another fun submission (actually a few) from the Department of 'Who's Plagiarizing Now??'

A long and loving look at one of Chicago's specialties: the Chicago-style hot dog. (And one of my favorites.)

Donald Trump's interesting (and lethal) response to a reporter who was trying to race-bait him. 

A diamond -- 2,492 carats! -- found in Botswana. Yow.



An interview with Michael Keaton -- who displays a refreshing approach to fame and fortune. 

Silly signs for pets who messed up.

Don't worry about the real customers in the restaurant(s) you visit -- bring your own, and make sure CBS News films them! That way, you get the responses you want. (Ahem)


Have a great week.
