Red State Blue State - A Humorous Presentation

   Like a little sugar making the medicine go down . . . A little humor can grease the wheels of discussion.
   
   Comedian Colin Quinn does a 49-minute show on the state of political affairs in the U.S. (with international pokes) that should make you chuckle and think.
   
   If you don't chuckle you are probably taking yourself too damn seriously.
   
   He has something for both sides. This viewing should be a pre-requisite for political forum participation.
   
   
   The odds are good that if you watch for 1 minute you'll get hooked for all 49 minutes.

   It was interesting, it is a perfect fit for that time... Pre-Covid... Pre-Biden
   
   One could say things were relatively relaxed back then, compared to now.  The Trump hate was fabricated into reality at that time ... but the DEI, Equity, Trans, Open-Border, escalating Multi-War, Inflation that Biden-Harris brought us since has changed things drastically.
   
   I think MANY Americans would take back their vote and give it to Trump if they knew it would keep most of what has occurred the last 4 years from happening.

   OK, I have one for you Gus...
   
   WARNING:  Once you go down this rabbit whole, you might regret it.
   
   According to the Russian news agency Sputnik, at the “Artificial Intelligence World Tour” in Moscow, there was a very interesting episode, the head of the data research department of Sberbank, Nikolai Gerasimhen, introduced Russian President Vladimir Putin to the methods of identifying fake photos and videos.
   
   During the event, Gerasimon talked about his experience working with Google’s artificial intelligence and compared photos of the Chinese and American missions to the moon.
   
   After the results of the analysis, Sberbank President German Gref told Putin: “Google’s neural network almost considers all the objects on the American photo to be fake.” At the same time, this photograph taken by the Chinese lunar rover does not raise any special questions.”
   
   Putin’s expression was particularly interesting, he first touched the wing of his nose, then pointed to the American photo and asked, “So it thinks it’s fake?”
   
   “Yes, that’s right,” said Gref. This is the result of Google’s neural network, not our analysis, so there is no bias, which is surprising, but it is true. ”
   
   Gerasimon added: “Google’s neural network analyzed a lot of data, including light and dark contrasts, and concluded that the photo was composited. ”

            Thanks, Ken, for the recommendation. I watched, so far, about 5 minutes and am intrigued. Bookmarked for this afternoon's entertainment. You know, movies and TV shows always lead me to the thought, "Someone 'creatively' wrote this from their imagination based on lived experiences and acquired knowledge through reading or dialogue. So, yes, it is true to life shall we say while incorporating creative license.
