Dead & Company at The Sphere last night...
( Sadly, this is second hand... )
Last night...
Dead & Company perform at the Sphere in Las Vegas, with the iconic Grateful Dead house on San Francisco’s Ashbury Street displayed on a giant screen behind the band. (Jim Harrington/Bay Area News Group)
The graphics were downright intoxicating and, quite often, disorienting — as the eyes tried to make sense of what was pretty much nonstop sensory overload.
There were some points were I felt a bit dizzy, and even had a touch of motion sickness, as I tried to take in vain to take in everything that was happening across the towering video screens as the band continued through “He’s Gone,” “Standing on the Moon” and “St. Stephen.”
The downside of being bombarded with all these special effects — and, well, just the massive amount of light — is that it’s really easy to literally lose sight of the actual musicians. They become, visually speaking, afterthoughts to everything that is going on.

On the topic of gender orientation and identity...
One line of reasoning I've often pointed out to friends...
Is how accepting everyone is to the notion that autism is a deviation from the norm; furthermore,
it's understood the differences are exhibited on a spectrum
It's also a condition of the brain
If one's sexual orientation might also be a deviation from the norm, could that too also be on a spectrum ?
And originating from differences in the brain ?
For myself, it's inconceivable for me to choose to be sexually intimate with another man. I have always been attracted to the opposite gender (even in first grade!)
But, if my orientation was more on the spectrum - more near the center, I might believe that being attracted to the same gender is indeed more of a "lifestyle choice," and in my ignorance, I might assume that everyone was the same as me
I just wanted to share my musings on this
Today's Word: CONNIPTION (The Shallow State)

Sad
DEFINITION: a fit of rage or hysterics
I'll use it in a sentence:
Trump is having a conniption on Truth Social, posting repetitively, often in ALL CAPS, that he did nothing wrong, and being forced to pay a bond before an appeal is NOT HOW IT WORKS!
