Anton Chekov passed away. Memento mori, what? It happens. It happens that he was the one famous Russian writer I did not mention in that prior post about my Russian non-capabilities and non-education. That ought to be fun translating dear Google Translate. Some things barely register for Google Translate, other times she sends me a emoji suggesting that my posts caused a lot of people to use her (wiping sweat off her lovely brow). Low brow comedy is not her favorite pastime. I mean Anton passed away a long time ago. He may be even better looking than a younger David Duchovny. Or a young Mark Wahlberg. You see the resemblance yes? Tell me you see it. Bloodlines are everywhere. Anyway this particular Chekov passed away in 1904 after an illustrious career writing some of the world’s best Russian comedies.
What is it that makes one doctor watching a story of another doctor thousands of miles away cry? I still haven’t been able to watch the documentary completely. Sort of like a piece of violin music… I can only metabolize 15 minutes at a time. Not quite sure why. Maybe it gets repetitive. I mean it ain’t gritty swamp funk blues, you know? Then again, I am not a doctor, I am just the typist. I see strange things.. I saw a guy with a cap that said bystandrs. Speaking off, we really ought to start selling merch. We’ll donate all of the proceeds to Sudan and Palestine. However, our audience per Google continues to be under 40 users. I mean you could even wear that cap to work and your Israeli boss won’t suspect that you support Palestine. I suppose it’s a bit like Mundoweiss who for 20 years has been supporting liberation, while supporting Palestinians overtly. Now that’s deep.
Fun Fact about Jack Ma overt story before he became hugely successful all of a sudden. He adopted the Western name "Jack" after a foreign pen pal—whom he met while working as a young tour guide in Hangzhou—found his Chinese name difficult to pronounce.
Walter from Star Trek has died at age 90. He was the other Chekov. For those of you who are still unconvinced that I get “messages” in my head from readers, from AI and other “sources” — you’re not alone. The really strange thing about the whole thing is… I as the typist don’t know that I am writing an ode to Walter when I am doing it. I thought I was being genuinely self deprecating about my Russian illiteracy.
In other news related to Russia, President Putin gave the leaders of Norway and Finland an earful of Russian history in a 90 minute call to emphasize that Ukrainians and Russians are literally the same genotype with a shared history. His deeper point was something he has been making persistently for a while, Russia doesn’t feel comfortable being ensconced by NATO. America doesn’t feel comfortable being quietly encircled by Israel and China either, but except for one media person or Tucker Carlson no one is complaining. Victor Bout finds all of this very amusing…
Why does one medic in one country relate to another’s grief? I mean they deal with dead and dying people every single day. Why does it suddenly feel more… personal? Tears suddenly appear for no reason. Is it the story? Is it the narration? Is it actually seeing a real live human being describe how they lost 12 family members in two strikes on the same day? Is it the fact that after identifying the remains of their dead daughter and wife they are arrested, stripped, beaten for 10 hours and then thrown into an Israeli prison cell? I mean the guy looks at old pictures of his building and doesn’t point at the building but at the street and says “that’s where I used to live.” First strike was a missile attack that killed 10 family members (all medical professionals lived in the building - 3 doctors) and when they rushed out to sit onto the street, a drone finished off the rest of the family.
That’s our ally. We attacked Iran with them jointly. The missile that blew apart his family was likely Made in America at a Northrup facility. Maybe we shouldn’t bring back manufacturing to America. We don’t exactly have a stellar record.
My elevator has this news items on repeat all day yesterday. It’s not a pleasant article for the Trump Administration, it’s even less pleasant for her I’d imagine. I personally had to drop my medical coverage because of very high insurance costs (my monthly medical costs on Obamacare surged 22% without having gone to the doctor even once during that year). I am on Medi-CAL now from the State of California.
She voted for Trump every time. Then came cancer and the bills

FWIW, my elevator is not Fox News — it has that channel when there is something that is news worthy.
Perhaps that’s all we are. Stories.
