Burying any possible important blog-post on my blog with pointless post by me
"Pointless" being a relative term
That guy this note centers on probably does not think the overall situation is pointless.
Now he's probably having to pack up to find a job somewhere else in the USA.
I make this note because of only one reason: I was compelled to make a random choice that caused me to learn information new to me today
I probably know they probably know I might make this sort of observation
That is another point: the possible illusion - I theorize - of free-will is happening not just to me but to all of you. Where it's leading - if anywhere - is anyone's guess.
Here in Spokane, the tv-news channel I prefer is Channel 2 KREM.
Did not have any real interest in viewing the morning news today and today they inform us that today is the final day of their tv morning weather guy, Thomas Patrick. While back, I made blog-post that focused on his name. I never captured the precise date of his first day at KREM, a detail I have discovered with associations I found interesting with other people that work there, bafflingly
Because - I suspect because they where subjects unaware - I have discovered the birthdates of other people working there and my examination yields more results.
Perhaps it is irony those mainstream-media workers - completely BECAUSE of my work here - are now aware and will not make again that mistake of revealing their personal details to the masses, masses they prey on for their own financial gain
Because of my convenient - completely random - choice to turn on the tv this morning, I learned of a topic becoming an Event Date variable in my original-work
See, my theory is that, while people think they are making choices 100% of their own volition, there is a more sinister implication of their activity.
I use the completely subjective interpretation of my original-work to draw lines on the activities of the strings of their puppet activities.
So, the tv-news morning weather guy is named Thomas Patrick. Today, 02/27/2026, after 7 years working there, is his last day.
I remember a blog-post I made before here in this completely open blog by me and the primary detail from that blog-post forms the first detail I look at again today.
During his final comments, he says something about his career and that he still has 30 years left to work.
Another point to remember: Today was predictable at any point since the calendar was invented.
The Twilight Zone
A Kind of a Stopwatch (1963)
Quotes
Rod Serling - Narrator: Submitted for your approval, or at least your analysis: one Patrick Thomas McNulty, who, at age forty-one, is the biggest bore on Earth. He holds a ten-year record for the greatest number of the most meaningless words ever spewed out during a coffee break. And it's very likely that, as of this moment, he would have gone through life in precisely this manner: a long-winded and self-centered know-it-all whose sole significant, if hardly marketable, talent is for setting the art of conversation back a thousand years... give or take a century. I say he very likely would have, except for something that will soon happen to him. Something that will considerably alter his existence and ours. You think about that now, because this is The Twilight Zone.
Joe: [to McNulty, after all the other patrons have departed en masse] You drive more people out of saloons than Carrie Nation! Here's your beer. Drink it fast. The combination of my business recession, this muggy weather and you is more than I can take in one evening!
Charlie: Joe, let me tell you something. There's an 8-inch TV set in my sister's apartment, it dates back to 1947. She's got five kids, the apartment's a six-floor walk-up and it's *boiling hot*! But there's one thing about that apartment which still gives it the edge on your joint here: *the apartment ain't got McNulty*!

Identification (literature)
From Wikipedia
Identification refers to the automatic, subconscious psychological process in which an individual becomes like or closely associates themselves with another person by adopting one or more of the others' perceived personality traits, physical attributes, or some other aspect of their identity. The concept of identification was founded by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud in the 1920’s, and has since been expanded on and applied in psychology, social studies, media studies, and literary and film criticism. In literature, identification most often refers to the audience identifying with a fictional character, however it can also be employed as a narrative device whereby one character identifies with another character within the text itself.
The Stand - complete edition, by Stephen King
(from internet transcript)
excerpt, Chapter 29
Stuart Redman was waiting for Elder. He had been waiting for three days—and this evening Elder did not disappoint him.
At just past noon on the twenty-fourth, Elder and two male nurses had come and taken away the television. The nurses had removed it while Elder stood by, holding his revolver (neatly wrapped in a Baggie) on Stu. But by then Stu hadn’t wanted or needed the TV - it was just putting out a lot of confused shit anyway. All he had to do was stand at his barred window and look out at the town on the river below. Like the man on the record said, “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”

excerpt
The Time Machine (Heinemann text)/Chapter XI
"The Time Machine" by H. G. Wells (year 1895)
Chapter XI.
'I have already told you of the sickness and confusion that comes with time travelling. And this time I was not seated properly in the saddle, but sideways and in an unstable fashion. For an indefinite time I clung to the machine as it swayed and vibrated, quite unheeding how I went, and when I brought myself to look at the dials again I was amazed to find where I had arrived. One dial records days, and another thousands of days, another millions of days, and another thousands of millions. Now, instead of reversing the levers, I had pulled them over so as to go forward with them, and when I came to look at these indicators I found that the thousands hand was sweeping round as fast as the seconds hand of a watch - into futurity.
