Together, they must face their biggest enemy yet -- an irresistible rival boy band of demons in disguise. The above from  Rotten Tomatoes .  Hate animated films.  But this one must be from South Korea, which is #1 today in movies and series. I assumed that  K-Pop Demon Hunters  came from South Korea, the country that gave us BTS,  Gangnam Style   ( was the first music video to reach 1 billion views, now up to 5.6 billion ), and  Parasite  ( won Academy Award for Best Film in 2020 ). Nope.   According to  Wikipedia :   K-Pop Demon Hunters ...

If longevity is your goal in life: You might think that the safest way to live longer is to stay at home. and mostly in bed so you do not fall.   But that could get awfully boring, if not impossible to do for a variety of reasons.  And unhealthy. So being a normal human being, you will today be faced with the need to get around. You can live in a community where you can safely walk to almost everything.  As for example, living in a seniors' community.  But this means you first need to get old. On the other hand, in terms of death rate per miles traveled,  flying on a commercial airline is SAFER than walking .  Here from  Allied Universal : Yes,   flying on a commercial airline is statistically the safest way to travel, even when compared to walking .   While walking is a relatively safe activity, it is significantly more dangerous per mile traveled than flying.   According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, walki...

Before I get into the topic of today, got to report that this morning's  Star Advertiser   headline showed: New infection record reached Hawaii confirmed 2205 new COVID-19 cases...but zero new deaths.   Also, our hospitalization peak of 448 is only at 84 today.  A bit worrisome is that 32 of them were fully vaccinated.   This will get worse because of the holiday season, but maybe not significantly so as the Omicron variant gains in taking over from Delta. We also now have 12,777 active cases, another record, as the pervious high was 11,500. Our seven-day average positivity is 11%, creeping up, but nowhere close to the  really badly hit states in this union . DC  109% Kansas 53% Vermont 52% New cases per million; Hawaii  1575 Puerto Rico  1947 Denmark  2448 New York  1869 Ireland  2081 UK  1571 Japan  2.5 Congressman Kai Kahele, who was vaccinated and boosted, reported that he tested positive.  However, he said t...

News of the day: The  Rittenhouse  killings occurred in Kenosha, Wisconsin.  The parade deaths this weekend were in Waukesha, Wisconsin.  The consensus seems to be that the Rittenhouse innocence verdict will mean more  AR-15 rifle s at protests and general outings, and further protect gun rights. The Ahmaud Arbery trial jury will begin deliberating tomorrow.  If all three white assailants are set free by the 11 white and 1 black panel, all hell will break loose.  Clearly, the timing was orchestrated for colder weather to minimize the potential backlash.  The defense strategy seems to be angling for a mistrial or deadlock. BTS got all the big awards at the  American Music Awards .  Their  Butter  won Favorite Pop Song.   Watch them perform this song last night. This weekend I viewed a special showing of  MASH:  Goodbye, Farewell and Amen  ( amazingly enough, you can watch the entire 2.5 hour movie if you...
