A Sense of Doubt blog post #2606 - Reprint of SoD #1160 from 2019 - First Haircut - for 2204.07



A Sense of Doubt blog post #2606 - Reprint of SoD #1160 from 2019 - First Haircut - for 2204.07

It just worked out that the post from April 7th, 2019 was the original form of my weekly (sort of) Hodge Podge that I installed as a THROWBACK THURSDAY even though all the content was not "throwback." And when I couldn't get a THROWBACK THURSDAY done for Thursday, I would post it later, like this one, on Sunday.

This is the post in which I featured "Nipsey Hussle," so I am going to make a category, even though I have way too many cats. I am afraid that I would not find it again without the cat.

This first week of the quarter has been rough. I am writing this from Friday, though I did set it up on Thursday.

Like yesterday's post, the top photo seems like a good comment on the start of the quarter.

"That's me in the corner..." or in this case, the barber's chair!

I am going to clean up this post a bit as I think some of these Twitter posts are gone...

Thanks for tuning in.

ENJOY.

Blog Vacation Two 2022 - Vacation II Post #43
I took a "Blog Vacation" in 2021 from August 31st to October 14th. I did not stop posting daily; I just put the blog in a low power rotation and mostly kept it off social media. Like that vacation, for this second blog vacation now in 2022, I am alternating between reprints, shares with little to no commentary, and THAT ONE THING, which is an image from the folder with a few thoughts scribbled along with it. I am alternating these three modes as long as the vacation lasts (not sure how long), pre-publishing the posts, and not always pushing them to social media.

Here's the collected Blog Vacation I from 2021:

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1160 - First Haircut  - 1963 - Throwback Thursday on Sunday 1904.07 - a sense of doubt #1508

Hi Mom,

I just posted another HEY MOM... well, two a week maximum.

Not a ton of commentary here, but some really interesting things.

Apparently, I hated my first haircut. There's a while series, which I will post later, maybe next week.

Onward.

This is the usual hodge podgery, gallimaufry collection of whatever accumulated in the last two weeks as I didn't post one last week, right?

No longer. The last throwback hidge podge was posted 1903.14. Wow. #1484, so 24 days ago.

Hey! So I won both of the Fantasy Basketball leagues that I run.

No, it was TOTALLY fair. But I am proud.


Yes, I had heard of Nipsey Hussle.
No, his music is not constantly in rotation in my player.









A post shared by LA Clippers (@laclippers) on 














https://news.yahoo.com/queen-latifah-racism-america-lets-act-like-124510164.html

Queen Latifah has a straightforward message on racism: “We’re America. Let’s act like it.”
“I really feel like America will never be as great as it could be until we really deal with the truth of our racist attitudes,” Latifah explained while speaking with the Yahoo News show “Through Her Eyes.”
“I think he has a vision for what America should be,” Latifah said. “I definitely support him running for president. He should. Why not?”
“People need to be educated, because they need to understand that we have all contributed to the success of the United States of America. That it would not be what it is without Africans, people of African descent,” she continued.
While discussing her home state of New Jersey, Latifah weighed in on whether she is excited about the presidential bid of Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., who would be the second African-American commander in chief.
The interview broached a range of other topics close to Latifah, who helped break down barriers in the 1980s as one of hip-hop’s first female rappers. Now, as a successful actor, singer, rapper and producer, Latifah still sees areas where the music industry needs to improve — especially when it comes to transgressors of the #MeToo movement.
“I don’t think that every person who’s been involved in something like that is a bad person, necessarily,” Latifah observed. “I think that they were raised and taught certain things. … But that whole way of it being done has to be deconstructed, broken apart and reconstructed into something brand-new.”
“People saw R. Kelly as a cash cow, and they didn’t want to give up the cash, so they ignored what was going on,” she said. “And he’s not the first, and he won’t be the last.”
Kelly was the subject of the docuseries “Surviving R. Kelly,” which included interviews with dozens of people connected to the R&B singer, including women who claimed that Kelly had sexually assaulted or abused them. When the docuseries premiered in January, it sparked renewed interest in the mounting allegations against Kelly. On Feb. 22, Kelly was indicted on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Less than two weeks later, in a heated interview with CBS’s Gayle King, Kelly continued to vehemently claim he is innocent.
“Whenever there’s money involved, and people are greedy and they want to make money, they learn to look the other way on a lot of things,” Latifah said.
Damn, that's my computer...

ackers Hijacked ASUS Software Updates To Install Backdoors on Thousands of Computers (vice.com)114

Posted by msmash  from the security-woes dept.
ASUS is believed to have pushed malware to hundreds of thousands of customers through its trusted automatic software update tool after attackers compromised the company's server and used it to push the malware to machines. From a report:Researchers at cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab say that ASUS, one of the world's largest computer makers, was used to unwittingly to install a malicious backdoor on thousands of its customers' computers last year after attackers compromised a server for the company's live software update tool. The malicious file was signed with legitimate ASUS digital certificates to make it appear to be an authentic software update from the company, Kaspersky Lab says. ASUS, a multi-billion dollar computer hardware company based in Taiwan that manufactures desktop computers, laptops, mobile phones, smart home systems, and other electronics, was pushing the backdoor to customers for at least five months last year before it was discovered, according to new research from the Moscow-based security firm.

The researchers estimate half a million Windows machines received the malicious backdoor through the ASUS update server, although the attackers appear to have been targeting only about 600 of those systems. The malware searched for targeted systems through their unique MAC addresses. Once on a system, if it found one of these targeted addresses, the malware reached out to a command-and-control server the attackers operated, which then installed additional malware on those machines. Kaspersky Lab said it uncovered the attack in January after adding a new supply-chain detection technology to its scanning tool to catch anomalous code fragments hidden in legitimate code or catch code that is hijacking normal operations on a machine. The company plans to release a full technical paper and presentation about the ASUS attack, which it has dubbed ShadowHammer, next month at its Security Analyst Summit in Singapore.

IF ONLY THIS WAS ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could totally rock that job.

TOKYO -- Joey Mellows is taking his passion for baseball on the road -- for the long haul.
The 34-year-old Englishman, better known by his @BaseballBrit Twitter handle, has quit his day job to watch an entire season of baseball games across three continents.
"Some people were fairly impressed that I was doing something I'm so passionate about," Mellows said recently at Tokyo Dome, where he kicked off his baseball odyssey by witnessing Ichiro Suzuki's final games as the Seattle Mariners swept the Oakland A's in a two-game series.
"My family is very supportive," Mellows added. "Co-workers were a little bit surprised, but I think they're on board now and they're following along on Twitter and I think they are a little bit jealous, to be honest."
"Some people were fairly impressed that I was doing something I'm so passionate about," Mellows said recently at Tokyo Dome, where he kicked off his baseball odyssey by witnessing Ichiro Suzuki's final games as the Seattle Mariners swept the Oakland A's in a two-game series.
"My family is very supportive," Mellows added. "Co-workers were a little bit surprised, but I think they're on board now and they're following along on Twitter and I think they are a little bit jealous, to be honest."
Mellows left his job as an English teacher in China for this trip, which he's hoping will involve watching 162 games in person.
He got the idea for the journey after discovering that the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees were going to play two games in June in London, the home of cricket.
"They are two of the biggest teams arguably in all of baseball coming over to London, and I just thought this is the perfect time to try and grow interest in the sport," Mellows said.
He began following baseball four years ago while at a previous teaching job in South Korea.
On holiday in Japan with his parents, Mellows attended a game and was immediately hooked by baseball's relaxing pace punctuated by bursts of action.
The longtime Portsmouth FC supporter was transformed into the "Baseball Brit" and began a bid to convert friends and family to his newly adopted favorite sport.
"I would love it if my mates back home asked me questions about baseball," Mellows said. "They are football fans. We all grew up in the same city. We are all Pompey, you know, Pompey boys through and through and they've got no interest in baseball at the moment. But this trip already, they're kind of getting curious."
Mellows attended games in South Korea and Japan before leaving Tokyo on Wednesday, heading to Seattle for the Mariners' home opener against the Red Sox. After that, he plans to fly to Philadelphia and hopes to finish his trip at the World Series in October.
He plans to finance his travels with savings, credit cards and frugal living on the road while posting it all on his social media accounts.
"I really hope more people back home start asking questions and thinking maybe it would be good to go to a baseball game," Mellows said. "We've got one this year. Let's do it."




I already set up the Throwback post for 1904.25 because this album comes out the very next day.

Yummy good!





VARIOUS OTHER TUNES THAT HIT THE BRAIN PAN THIS LAST WEEK...






















Ana Roxanne is an intersex Southeast Asian musician based in Los Angeles. Born & raised in the Bay Area to immigrant parents, Ana's love for music and singing began through her mother's cd collection of 80's/90's R&B divas. Raised in the catholic church, she became a devout choir nerd and found any opportunity to sing, whether for religious mass, the jazz ensemble of her catholic high school, or karaoke at family gatherings. Her commitment to singing led her to a brief stint at a vocational jazz program in the cornfields of the midwest; in a remote town of 7,000 people, she began a formal study of jazz and classical music. During these years she would tour with various ensembles to beautiful old cathedrals in nearby cities and became enamored with the sacredness of choral music, as well as the enveloping sound of harmony. A near death experience, too, served as a connection between music and spirituality, and music as a healing art after facing tragedy.

n 2013, Ana was also fortunate enough to spend a few months in Uttarkhand, India where she met an incredible voice teacher who introduced her to classical Hindustani singing. Living and studying with this teacher deeply impacted her outlook on the voice as art. It was there that she began to see the singer - the Diva - as a symbol of divinity; that the unique power of one's voice comes from the vulnerability of using the body as an instrument. Be it romance, love, or worship of a deity - in order to access such depths of emotional expression, one must be willing to be intensely vulnerable, lay one's heart in the open air, expose what is kept hidden. This brief study was the catalyst that led her to finish her music study at the experimental Mills College in Oakland, CA, where she began to combine all of these influences into her current self-titled project. This album ~~~ was created during her last years residing in the Bay Area, a tribute to the great musicians who inspired her and the landscape where she spent her formative years.

In addition to the worship of R&B and pop divas, Ana's current practice explores themes of gender & identity. In October of 2018, she decided to come out publicly as intersex, and is dedicated to being a voice for her community and speaking out about social justice for intersex youth.

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
