What not to say...

At one point or another, I have been at a loss of words to say to someone who is suffering. Not that this is an end-all-be-all in that etiquette, I thought this article ( link ) was a good start. Some highlights... First, the Nevers. 1. WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP? Most patients I know grow to hate this ubiquitous, if heartfelt question because it puts the burden back on them. As Doug Ulman, the chief executive of Livestrong and a three-time cancer survivor, explained: “The patient is never going to tell you. They don’t want to feel vulnerable.” Instead, just do something for the patient. And the more mundane the better, because those are the tasks that add up. Want to be really helpful? Clean out my fridge, replace my light bulbs, unpot my dead plants, change my oil. 2. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. In my experience, some people think about you, which is nice. Others pray for you, which is equally comforting. But the majority of people who say they’re sending “thoughts and...

Though I couldn't stay up for "Creature Features", I believe I know the secret identity

I think I have this as an autographed picture. Bob Wilkins was an important part of my childhood. Less for his more famous creation of "Creature Features", but more his afterschool mainlining a steady stream of tokusatsu giant monsters and superheroes in glorious video action to me like " Space Giants ", " Spectreman ", " Ultraman " or anime like " Star Blazers " dressed as "Capt.

Below are two documentaries about Bob Wilkins / John Stanley and the legacy of their work. "Watch Horror! Keep America Strong" (2008) ( video link here ) and "Up Late with Bob Wilkins" (2019) (embedded below) It continues on with an YouTube channel with actual movies!

A great guide for verification of the TREASURE/CRAP from the Internet

Ever get some newsbit from someone like "Wave the Dave" and wonder, "Does he/she believe this is real?" Well, beside the usual trip to www.snopes.com to double check a long-running chain-letter rumor, for more recent/current events, take a look at the " Verification Handbook" ( pdf link !!) is a collection of short chapters about how-to-verify-social-media- information. This handbook is edited by Craig Silverman of the Poynter Institute and the creator of the blog Regret the Error . EXAMPLE: Chapter 4, "Verifying Images," discusses getting EXIF data from an image, as well as using other corroborating information such as weather conditions (was the picture actually taken on the day claimed... did you know it was raining that day?)
