Despite his appearance and delivery, i always thought Norm was the most “punk rock” comedian. He actually stood for something, stood by his friends and was true to himself. I did not always agree with his bits… But i never thought he was outright hateful. I think he tried to touch on the humorous or more absurd elements of society, with his commentary. Which was mostly the stuff i liked least… However, i believe that while Norm may not have understood some of these things, he wasn’t intolerant of them.

Norm was about as big of an anti-celebrity, celebrity as i can think of. He always seemed eager to be silly and to laugh, and to love his small group of friends. I’m fairly cemented as being left of center, and i adored Norm.

Check out “project farm” on YouTube. He has an excellent channel and had vids for puncture repair kits, portable compressors and jump packs. He is great.

Its nuts that during the Obama admin, all anyone cared about was the threat of zero privacy. Now everyone in the US has surrendered to it, because our politicians have sold our digital privacy rights to the tech companies.

Man i used to love KRS… But that MFer is off the tracks crazy.

I think meta will dominate the space that federates with it. Hopefully none of my instances will do that… And I will be unaffected.

As a HUGE deadwood fan, i agree. Its probably my overall #1 favorite show of all time. I felt like the movie was Milch calling in before his disease took him completely.

There is a great YT channel called “History For Granite” that discusses the pyramids. His (and many others)posit that Zahwi Hawas, who is (or was) the director of antiquities in Egpyt, is a roadblock to many studies because they may differ with theories that he has backed. Bascially the guy has extreme bias.

There is technology that can use existing alterations that have been made to the pyramid (drilled holes) to explore the void you are speaking of… but Hawas wont allow it. He has denounced valid research as quack science, even when it has been vetted by other researchers… again due to his personal bias.

While I agree somewhat with the supposition that Egypts ancient history was plundered by the west… Hawas, from what I can tell, just basically blocks research for no real reason, other than he doesnt want it to happen.

I am sure there is more nuance to the situation than this… but this is what Ihave put together… However, I am about as far away as i can get from being a scholar on the topic.
