That would terrify me, I used to be concerned sailing in a 22′ sailboat when dolphins would run close alongside until I figured out they were dolphins.
This scene reminds me of a comment I read on different video with a similar theme: “Death came upon them, smiled as he watched, and then silently just walked away.”
Scary.

I am not comfortable going into the water at the ocean! Not at the top of the food chain. I prefer staying on the beach.
When I was a kid, my older cousin took me to Cross Lake near the Texas-Louisiana State line. Lake is known for gators. I tried to learn how to water ski in that lake and all I could think about when I repeatedly crashed into the water while waiting for the boat to circle back around was the gators. Like out of a scene from Jaws in my mind with the gator potentially closing in on me.
Cetaceans seem to be pretty smart. They have large brains for their size, but a substantial amount of the cubic is for producing and processing sound, as opposed to ratiocination.
Still, you have to wonder what this critter was thinking.
Richard Aubrey:
Maybe it looked to him like a baby whale with a large oddly-shaped barnacle on it?

Clearly, the whales have not seen the “Moby Dick,” movie nor read the book.
I suggest they see the 1956 movie with Gregory Peck and Richard Basehart.
Speaking of whales; what saved the whales from extinction?
It was the discovery of oil / petroleum!!
Obtaining oil from whales was the primary substance that the New England whaling fleets were seeking. This oil – which is very high quality – was used for candles / illumination and as a lubricant.
The discovery and refining of petroleum oil drastically reduced the need to hunt whales (though Japan, Norway and Iceland still hunt them.)
Speaking of oil / petroleum; we all would be burning a lot more wood (trees) for heat and cooking if not for natural gas. And don’t trees use CO2 for food ?? (jeez, I thought CO2 was a pollutant ) .
Humpbacks or Southern Right?
Magnificent animals and not necessarily aggressive towards humans.
Mighty blessed to get to play with them like that…yeah… I’d likely be too scared to breathe. 😉
This guy found himself in the mouth of a humpback last June. Fortunately the whale spit him out, evidently not to its taste.
This was at one of several major protest across the EU in opposition to vaccine passport schemes, and the apparent intent of many national governments to maintain a permanent emergency state with intensifying police powers.
I’ve kept an eye on the activities of Kennedy’s organization since COVID emerged to see what concerns they may have had towards the vaccination of children w/ the mRNA treatments. The warnings that he promotes in that speech, and their supporting claims, are informed by research he’d pursued for his recent book that details the capture and corruption of COVID policy. He hadn’t voiced that account earlier – just mentioning that because the press tends to throw him in with conspiracy theorists. But I haven’t gotten that impression from the CHD’s work or his statements in other contexts.
Since it’s an open post, this is completely off topic but appropriate for the season – Jerusalem in 1897, colorized and soundized: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jVMcqNOqdek
According to the comments the Grand New Hotel has been renamed the New Imperial Hotel. You can Google the street view and see the changes.
Also according to the comments, here’s the type of camera used: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinematograph#
Kids goofing around tells you not everything has changed.
“The government has announced stricter quarantine rules on travellers coming from high-risk countries and regions in view of the emergence of a new Covid variant.
It said on Monday that travellers from places where there’s been community transmission of the Omicron variant must stay seven days at the quarantine camp in Penny’s Bay before spending another 14 days at designated hotels to complete their 21-day quarantine, in addition to eight southern African countries.
These travellers will be tested every day at the quarantine camp.
Currently, travellers from eight African nations including South Africa where the variant was first detected are subject to the new quarantine rule.
The controller of the Centre for Health Protection, Dr Edwin Tsui, said he expects more places would be added to the list, including some European countries….”
One way or the other, it’s 21 days of some form of quarantine if you enter HK. In other parts of China, could be 28 days, possibly even longer.
Information about the reality of UFOs, about the quite astounding extent of UFOs appearances throughout the world, and UFOs critical importance is emerging at a faster and faster rate.
Over the last few years since Lue Elizondo, former head of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (ATIP), became a civilian, he has been featured in a major TV series, spoken on a myriad of interview and podcast shows,and given lectures about UFOs to many audiences; he is seemingly tireless and everywhere, spreading the word that UFOs are real, and that they should be taken very seriously indeed, not the least as a national security threat.
And in each case he has been very measured in what he has said–always citing his security clearance and government NDA as preventing him from disclosing a lot of what he knows–but, nonetheless, slowly inching information and ideas forward, into the light, and revealing more and more pieces of the puzzle.
Up until now Elizondo’s standard answer to the question of what UFOs might be has been to say that there are three possibilities—1. Secret US craft, 2. Craft from adversaries like China or Russia, or 3. Craft from “elsewhere”–which he has elaborated, as time has gone on, as meaning that they could be extraterrestrial, could be from another dimension, could be from the future or the deep past, or could even be something that is of earthly origin, something which may have been present on Earth for a very long time, but which we have only just recently gained the ability to notice.
Recently Elizondo has pointed to Pentagon statements that these craft are not secret U.S. aircraft, as eliminating possibility # 1.
Moreover, Elizondo has also recently argued that the fact that UFOs similar to those being observed in the last few years, like the”Tic Tac” UFO from the 2004 USS Nimitz encounter, have been observed in our modern era since at least the 1940s eliminates possibility # 2, that these craft are from foreign adversaries, for if Russia, China, the Nazis, or some other country had had that unmatchable technology–a thousand years or more ahead of ours–back in the 1940s we would have certainly been conquered by one of these adversaries long ago.
As for # 3, “elsewhere,” over the last few years of interviews and speeches Elizondo has been very cagey, but in this recent interview from a couple of days ago, he flat out says that the only explanation is that these craft are from “elsewhere.”*
Not related to whales except in size… of the price that is.
My wife and I went for our Christmas tree yesterday. As there are no kids at home and no plans for company we usually get a pretty, nice smelling, table top tree for around $30.
This year it was $60 to $80 for the same tree. We passed and she did something we both thought we would NEVER do… ordered a fake tree.
I can not imagine being young with a family and finding out that I have to spend around $160 for a nice tree another $130 or so for a turkey or Christmas ham and on and on.
Let’s go Brandon. I can only hope this wakes up some of the woke.
Ruppelt, “The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects” from maybe seventy years ago. He was an Air Force major assigned to Blue Book. Good detail about how things were done in those days, and something about the times.
A panel of psychologists–the maje must have had good budget–agreed it was mass hysteria due to war nerves. His readers would have understood, which is a datum for understanding of those times.
We find that Oak Ridge had constant air cover by P47 fighters–likely WW II leftovers flown by Reserve or Guard guys getting lots of flight time. Oak Ridge….
At one point, he takes the ten best reports, most detailed, multiple observers, to be analyzed. Definitely intelligently controlled. End of chapter, next chapter starts taking about something else.
Lee, THANK YOU for your very helpful reply. Will do.
The freshest post at Powerlineblog.com finds Steve Hayward — the former Conservative Scholar in Residence at the University of Colorado at Boulder — ahead of the curve braying about the latest hoax on academic hubris: an Educrats journal linked into publishing a phony research paper that decadently confirms the prejudices of our annointed university professors that fantasize that their hotbeds of radicalism are really the play toys of the rich rightwing foundations and their billionaires.
Here’s the intro and one line conclusion:
“LATEST ACADEMIC HOAX IS A DOOZY
“Ever since Alan Sokal hoaxed Social Text more than 20 years ago, and Peter Boghossian and his two compatriots punked several postmodern journals with total gibberish just a couple years back, you’d think academic journal editors and reviewers would be on guard against similar hoaxes. But apparently not. Higher Education Quarterly (a Wiley publication) which is just out with a howler entitled ‘Donor money and the academy: Perceptions of undue donor pressure in political science, economics, and philosophy.’
“The study purports to demonstrate that ‘right wing’ money is having a significant effect in pushing colleges to the right.
“The first sign this is a hoax is that the article says the two authors, Sage Owens and Kal Avers-Lynde III, are on the economics faculty at UCLA, but I can find no record of their existence at UCLA or anywhere else, and no record of other publications by either author. I believe they do not exist. My suspicion is that the “authors’ may be conservatives, or at least anti-leftists, who decided to see whether an article that flatters the deep biases of academia could get past peer review and into print….
Pass the popcorn! The groveling sock-puppets will never learn.
Hayward used to be a senior scholar in residence at the DC-based American Enterprise Institute, after doing a two volume history of the Reagan years, and then publishing annual assessments of climate change and environmental problems.
His PhD in political science from the Claremont University and CV gained him a post at Pepperfine’s School if Public Policy. Then on to the UC-Berkeley’s top ranked Poli Sci Department.
Why? The Department has always had a course on the History of the US Constitution. But no one in the Departme not was interested in teaching the course.
Therefore, the Department decided to fill the hole in their course offerings with a new man, one who’d taught this subject before at the University of Colorado, which is also one of his passions.
And Hayward joined Powerlineblog at around this time.
To sum up, Hayward is expertly positioned to pronounce this “study” another academic hoax.
After my post on Hayward (ABOVE), I checked out the comments at Powerlineblog.
The most inspired insight come from “Luke” who adds: “Look at the initials of the authors: ‘Sokal 3′” [LOL!]
DAMN if he doesn’t nail it!
@ TJ > just finished reading the PLB post.
It’s a brilliant piece of trolling by the “study” authors.
Of course, as Hayward said, the abstract would have told anyone but a died-in-the-bubble leftist it was a hoax.
Another commenter did the same internet sleuthing I did and disclosed the antecedents of an alleged Right Wing Foundation injecting Dark Money into the Hallowed Halls of Academe.
Look up “Randy Eller” and you will have no trouble deciding which of the hits is the correct one.
Really nice (and meditative) video of that cute whale doing some “human watching”….
(Unless it’s just a case of curious whales wondering “What the hell is that thing”?—curiosity, and playfulness, generally indicating highly developed intelligence, unless of course one happens to be gunning for a Darwin Award.)…
For those who prefer their nature a bit more “hard core”, there’s this extraordinary, if laid-back, drama (featuring orcas sniffing around a swimmer): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVmieqjU0E8
(I wonder if it’s the rubber suit that made a difference here—and also in that curious case of the baleen whale that spit out that Jonah wannabe guy—rubber not being the preferred flavor of the month for cetaceans; though sharks might be a different story.)
The City Manager in McKinney, Tx is named Paul Grimes; the corporation counsel is one Mark Houser. I’m a tad puzzled as to why the seven members of the city council did not call in Mr. Grimes and Mr. Houser and tell them they negotiate a settlement with this woman or they don’t work here anymore.
