Ryfun's Rants: The Willingly Blind
Jun 9, 2021
They say the future isn’t yet written. However, we sometimes get a sneak peek of what’s in store for us. That peek can help us assess the direction we’re moving in and can give us a chance to change it. The world just got a glimpse into one of our most unimaginably terrible futures and no one noticed.
Last week was the thirty-second anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre in China, where civilians were tired of corruption in their government and the lack of power or ability to do anything about it, so they decided to take to the streets to effect change. It was an amazing display of the human spirit. Here were a people who have no voice standing up and asserting themselves against an oppressive regime.

Closed Door Meetings Are a Necessity

I don’t blame Gordon Jackson, honestly. He’s in a situation where he’s doing the work of a couple of people, as so many are in this day and age. In fact, if the Paper of Record doesn’t hire a replacement for Taylor Cooper come football season, Gordon may be doing three jobs as I’ve seen him covering ball games in recent years, too.
Gordon has for a number of years been the PoR’s reporter covering goings-on in the city. With the recent departure of Taylor Cooper for much greener pastures, it seems he has assumed the work of covering the county, as well.

At least two people died, and 23 others were hospitalized after a vessel overturned off the coast of San Diego.

San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesperson
Monica Munoz told
The type of vessel that capsized is unknown, and authorities have not determined what caused it to overturn. Because the incident happened in waters that are under federal jurisdiction, federal agencies will handle the investigation.

A phantom lumberjack on a reign of terror in England, an eerie dashcam video from Australia that may show a ghost child, and a bowler who threw a perfect game using a ball containing his late father's ashes were among the strange and unusual stories to cross our desk this week.
This past week saw a pair of puzzling videos make news and leave viewers scratching their heads. First, in Florida, a homeowner could not believe her eyes when her home security system captured video of a mysterious creature that seemed to resemble a baby dinosaur dashing through her yard. Meanwhile, down in Australia, a motorist cruising down the highway was shaken when he nearly hit what appeared to be a small child in the middle of the road. The unsettling incident, which was filmed by his dashcam, took a strange turn when it was revealed that police were informed of the near-miss and spent hours searching for the tot, but found no trace of the child, leading some to suspect that it could have been a ghost.

I Care More Than You! | 98.7 FM WGIG
Apr 20, 2021
Somebody asked me the other day to define “virtue signaling,” which I gladly did and will do now, because it’s so prevalent nowadays that people NEED to know what it is and how it affects us. A virtue signal is a very visible public action you take that shows what a good and caring person you are but that doesn’t actually make any other difference in the world.
Remember a few years ago when people were dumping buckets of ice water on their heads like they were Michael Jackson on a Pepsi commercial shoot because they thought it would cure ALS? I lost a friend and the Golden Isles lost a great journalist last year to ALS. I guess we should have had a few more buckets.

Derek Chauvin Refuses To Testify As His Defense Rests Its Case
By Bill Galluccio
Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with killing
George Floyd, will not take the witness stand in his murder trial. After Chauvin affirmed his decision to invoke his Fifth Amendment right not to testify, his defense rested its case.
Eric Nelson, Chauvin's lawyer, argued that Floyd died because of underlying health conditions and illegal drug use. The defense called seven witnesses to rebut the prosecution's claims that Floyd died as a result of asphyxia after being pinned down for over nine minutes by Chauvin. They also argued that Chauvin's actions were appropriate and that the crowd that gathered during the arrest distracted him.
