I like this song. Had never heard of her until seeing her on SNL last night. It was a strong performance.

Just finished Andre Agassi’s

Biography. Starting Dune (have never read). Been in a slump. Not sure why. But it’s dark. Good thing about age is experience. I’ve been here before. I’ll be fine. Need more activity. “There is no beauty but the beauty of action.”

I’m going to go see Paul McCartney this weekend in São Paulo. In honor of this here’s one of my fav McCartney tunes:

    My son and I just watched a video

    It was me, younger, making claims

    "Did those things happen Dad?"

    No, but I was certain they would

    "What are you certain of now, Dad?"

    I'm certain that I love you

    I'm certain that I love your sisters

    I'm certain that I love to make music

    I guess I am certain when it comes to love

    The rest is up for grabs

Stream of consciousness Re Patience

    Here comes that ubiquitous part

    “Love is patient, love is kind..”

    Doe’s foolishly smiling

    I brought snacks

    Catholic wedding

    Venison jerky

    Tis going to be a while

    The groom sized up my date

    “Love is not boastful.”

    The bride blushes

My 20’s? I’m lucky I made it. Not kidding. It wasn’t the best.

Daily Trauma:

    I thought the autopilot was engaged

    So I was not.

    She looked at me for assurance

    But I was not sure

    We hit the ground hard

    I held her afterward

    The old lady was kind

    The officer chewed tobacco

    The neighbor gave me his card

    He asked me if I knew anyone that needed tree trimming

    We made it to the game

    They lost

    That night I asked her to retell the event

    I said, “this was a traumatic event. It’s important we talk about it. Otherwise it will hide inside of you and come back up when you least expect it,”

    “I’m fine Daddy,” you said.

    “I’m not,” I said. “I need a hug.”

I love Cat Stevens! Thank you for that. Also, thank you for the badge. My first in quite some time.

I’ll take it! Thx for listening and happy thanksgiving to you and yours.

Thank you very much! I really liked the lyrics to this one. I think it would be a fun one to play live. Happy thanksgiving!

For anyone that wants to hear it

thenewgreen  ·  137 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Pubski: November 8, 2023

I just listened to, “now and then,” again and I have to say, I think it’s actually a really good tune. Melancholy and hopeful all at once. Maybe it doesn’t sound like the Beatles we knew, but it’s the closest to what, I can only guess, the Beatles would have sounded like had they regrouped in 2023. It’ still has that Lennon/McCartney yin/yang, sweet/sour thing going on. I dig it. It’s growing on me.

thenewgreen  ·  139 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Pubski: November 8, 2023

Thank you! I think that's actually a pretty good synopsis of how it sounds. None of the re-vamped songs, including, "Free as a Bird," sound like the Beatles. That said, I listened to Now and Then with no anticipation of greatness. I find it to be a pleasant tune. It's popped into my head a few times this past week. It's a good track, not great. I'm glad it exists though.

Back in 2018 Forever Labs filed a patent to concentrate extracellular vesicles (EV's) from blood, most notably exosomes. The patent sat on the shelf but in 2020 the clinics we work with had to stop performing stem cell banking procedures due to the lockdowns. We had a team, largely sitting on our hands. Plus, the ugly truth was that the banking business, as cool and important as it was/is, wasn't scaling. It's tough to convince someone to stick a needle into their hip and suck out their bone marrow. So, we blew the dust off of the EV patent.

We ran studies in the lab and had them validated by outside labs and it turned out that we could concentrate trillions of exosomes from blood and add them to platelet rich plasma treatments (PRP). The team in the lab started calling it a, "Super Shot," and the name stuck.

We knew it worked in the lab, but that's a whole lot different than it working in the clinic. We were initially focused on orthobiologic treatments, knees, shoulders, tendons etc. But we became aware that PRP was being used to treat hair loss. We enlisted the National Hair loss Medical Academy to run two studies, one in men and one in women. We saw a 100% response rate. Far greater than standard PRP. We ran a 6 month study in ortho and found that SuperShot accelerated healing and the gains made lasted longer. In short, there is THERE there. The product works.

We have secured product distribution in both ortho and aesthetics. We negotiated and were able to get our aesthetics distributor to commit to pay for 40% of the FDA 510k process. We anticipate 510k clearance in 6-8 months, perhaps sooner.

The unit ecomoniccs are amazing. I'm pretty excited. It's a lot more fun running a company that sells a product that people can use immediately and that has product-market-fit. The doctors love it.

We will still keep the stem cell banking company running, but we believe it's SuperShot that will give our investors the return they signed up for.

Aside: I'm going to Brazil in December to see McCartney. Taking my best pal from childhood, another Beatles fanatic. I'm excited.

Hope everyone is well. Onward! -TNG

The older I get, the more I realize how much nothing matters but friends and family. Real friends. Those get harder and harder to come by the older you get too. I count you in this category :)

I dig the new Stones tune. It’s catchy and sounds great.

The world is throwing too much at us. I want to go off the grid. But I cannot. Too many people depending on me. It’s a lot. Thankfully, “hockey,” helps :-)

Hope you’re well, lil. Hope you’re playing some hockey too.

    I need to do more. That's the conclusion I've come to.
You will. I have definitely accomplished a fair amount in my 46 years but I need to do more too. Particularly for others. I feel like I have 5 more years of high productivity in my current endeavors and then I want to go all out altruism. My grandparents were very giving people. I need to follow suit
thenewgreen  ·  209 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: These moments totally happened at the GOP primary debate

It’s odd to me that suggesting nations are creating bio-weapons is controversial. Not exactly new terrain

This entire thread started with me wishing we had debates on the dem side. Reasonable desire. I’d love to see RFK Jr, Newsom and others debate Biden. If he’s not up to the task, we as a nation should be made aware. I know the canned reply is that no sitting President gets primaried. I don’t think I’d feel this need if we had a President that was ever in front of the press.

I am not a democrat, never have been even though it’s the only party I’ve ever voted for. I feel no affiliation or loyalty to the DNC. I do feel loyalty to ideals. Ideals that have been championed by the left for decades: Freedom of speech, right to privacy, that we need to be good stewards of our planet, I believe in strong and independent media, I believe money should be kept out of politics. I believe the revolving door between policy makers and corporate lobbyists needs to close.

No one candidate embodies all of these things. I’ve donated money to several politicians and even Andrew Yangs forward party and I’ve done so based on their policy stances not on the party they belong to.

I think there’s a lot of, “we have to support Biden cause if not, then trump. Fuck that. I’m tired of the DNC not listening to or trusting the electorate. Any former Bernie supporters will know what I mean.

A large part of my donating to Kennedy is to try and force the hand of the dnc to allow debates. I know the canned response is, “that’s exactly what the right wants.” Well, then I’m in alignment.

I truly believe that if trump is the candidate he will win against Biden but would lose handedly against almost any other candidate.

I’m tired. I don’t much enjoy Hubski these days. Really miss the old days. It’s a bummer. I wish you and the family well. Gonna peace out for a while.

Onward!

What a wonderful story. Your grandad sounds like such an amazing man. You’re lucky to have had him in your life. Do you play that piano much?

My grandmother died several years back. She was a wonderful woman. When she was little she was quarantined for months in her room. Her mother gave her an accordion. She played it often in my childhood. When she died, I inherited it. I don’t play it that often. I should. When I do, it’s overwhelmingly emotional. It still smells like her.

Again, what a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.

The actual video is less than 2 minutes long. No need to quote grab. Watch in context.

He pretty clearly says that he doesn’t know if it’s deliberate. I’d be shocked if nation states weren't developing targeted bioweapons.

His reply and the paper he is referencing here:
