I have no immediate links.

But in Jordan Peterson’s interview with evolutionary biologist Bret Weinstein, the latter says the more he’s looked at the Covid-19 origins question, the more isolated the lab origins theory becomes, because all of the tests about natural origins fail.

This morning I got into it a bit with a cafe friend, who saw fit to inform me (again) of the latest Covid/China narrative — top men have looked at the virus and concluded it wasn’t a lab accident. Wheew! That’s a relief.

I’ve got a few good links and arguments handy, but the larder isn’t as well-stocked as I thought.

Anyone got a Few Good Links I could print out for my friend? I don’t want to argue with him, because he is certain of so much stuff that is wrong, as Reagan noted, that a discussion doesn’t go anywhere.

I went to search for it and saw what happened when a 14 yr. old Midori broke the E string of her violin not once, but twice. It seems this “saving” technique is rather a SOP.

In the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, the Calypsonians are renowned for their abilities to make up tunes (lyrics and music) on the spot. You’ll see them at the beaches, busking. They’re quite good at it! Around carnival time every year, there is a calypso championship, which invariably has an ex-tempo competition. Two Calypsonians will face off, trading back and forth, insulting each other, discussing politics, making up ranchy double-entendres (hysterical and I do mean raunchy). Lyrics made up on the spot – very fun to watch!

Yes, it was.

Thanks, neo.

Like others here, I’ve been trying to listen to more music as a respite from politics.
