I gather from some of the comments I have received on social media that a good number of my followers think I post too much on Twitter about the material I am researching for my new book rather than my usual diet of UFOs and pyramids. In pre-pandemic times, I imagine I would have bounced ideas off people in real life, but I don't have that luxury as often today. Now, I grant you that it is very different content, and sometimes more explicit, but I do not control history. If people see a significant difference between writing about James Dean's much duller than you would imagine sex life and George Adamski allegedly paying blond teenage boys for sex while telling people they were Venusians visiting his hotel with cosmic secrets, I can only shrug and wonder. But, good news! I have finished more than ten of my book's twelve chapters, and there is not much left. Then I will have nothing to talk about! Meanwhile, back with the aliens, the first episode of Ancient Aliens this season surprised me with its vastly improved ratings over its pre-pandemic viewer totals. Last week's episode started to come back to earth, losing 1 in 5 of its viewers from the week before, down to just 960,000 viewers. With no new episode of Ancient Aliens this week, we will have to settle for the new Kesha and the Creepies podcast from Kesha, where last week the musician interviewed Alice Cooper and discussed space aliens.
According to an article in Cracked, the two speculated that COVID-19 is the work of space aliens. Cooper explained his belief that UFOs are interdimensional rather than extraterrestrial, and he said that the beings from that dimension are demons who are trying fool humanity by posing as aliens and ghosts. Both musicians' supernatural beliefs are well-known, but it is always interesting to see that the current unification of occult ideas about interdimensional space demons standing behind every supernatural excretion has seeped down to the dregs from the elite producers of pseudoscientific ideas.

I don't understand caring about what someone says on Twitter, i.e. telling them they should be saying "I" rather than "E". Social media, like internet dating, is of the Devil. Movie magazines? I don't read 'em. The freaks who carry your bags up to the room. Sayin' I'm strung out. I've never been strung out in my life! Tear your tongue out by the goddamn roots! Mike Stone's not a stud. Where's Bill Cosby? Stand up Bill!

This week's betting pool results are in. Unfortunately, everyone picked Kent as the most likely person to mention Bill Cosby. You all get your dollar entry fee back or can leave it in to double up on who will be the first person to mention 7 feet tall Indians.

Sometimes it is the messenger and context not the message that dictate the primary meaning. This was one of those times.

Well, Kent, I took on Theosophist cult archaeology pretty successfully .If I can turn the Kieninger piece an adult series on TV, who knows? One of my informants stated that the women were all ugly, But I explained to him that we could make them all attractive for TV.

I certainly could tell you that and would be quite right so to do, but the profanity troubles me, and if I play the profanity game doesn't that really diminish YOU? You, on the other hand, seem to revel in profanity and bad language. That's your own personal island and I respect that. It doesn't make you a bad person, being a bad person makes you a bad person. No one cares about Kissinger, or really any of your "work". My "academic reputation"? C'est pour rire. Never stole a dictionary and claimed it as my own. I'm lazy that way.

Others will tell you, Eddy P, that not only are you crazy as shit but crazier than a loon, to boot. You, sir, are not a scientist, nor a historian by any stretch of the imagination. Just because you wrote about stuff, doesn’t give you a Ph.D. Nuff said.

What you describe as work is neither rock, nor solid. Since you believe in all these imagined impacts, you should be rolling in the green stuff, what with the going price for meteorites. But instead you are rolling in something but not money.

It should be mentioned that Cusick's book ON ITS OWN is already easy to read (and easily available on the internet for free). Mr. Grenadine uses it to support his... stuff, but it actually contradicts his... stuff, esp. on "the Stonish Giants".
