Stevie winwood's “higher love” it's like a prayer in pop song form. A yearning for something more, something deeper, now more than ever it speaks to me

The theme of the whole song is that there has to be more to life than just this, and what is this thing? Stevie calls it a higher love. And that is such a beautiful term, like there's the love we have now and we share now but just imagine a love magnified and beautified an intensified by 1000 times. And that is the love that is coming for us all.

Things look so bad everywhere

In this whole world, what is fair

We walk blind and we try to see

Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love, oh

Bring me a higher love

Where's that higher love, I've been thinkin' of

Bring me a higher love

Bring me a higher love, oh

Bring me a higher love

A good kind of love, want a higher love

Widow's Bay: I'm enjoying the show for sure, but it's kind of crazy how much you can Ripoff Stephen King and still be legally OK? Literally every plot point and/or horror element of this story is borrowed directly from a Stephen King book/movie [some spoilers]

Mild spoilers for this show

Setting is a coastal New England town with lots of historical lore? Check

small town where everybody knows each other? Check

scary killer clown with makeup that looks suspiciously similar to a certain clown in a certain Stephen King movie? Check

a mysterious fog that rolls in that may or may not be killing people? Check

the town has ancient lore about the killer fog rolling in that the sailors know about but the normies ignore? Check

an old creepy, haunted inn with ghosts that appear as real people? Check

that's just off the top of my head, I'm sure a major Stephen King fan could come up with more

literally every horror element of this show is borrowed directly from a Stephen King book. This show is basically a mash up about 12 different Stephen King books with the sprinkling of parks and rec style humor.

And don't get me wrong I'm liking the show! It's an enjoyable show and I'm gonna keep watching. It's just wild to me how much you can ripoff Stephen King and still be OK

Pink Heifer BBQ review (State Street): on the one hand it's not the worst... on the other hand is this really the best we can do?

I got the brisket Mac and cheese and it was... OK. It wasn't the worst. If you are like me and you have a deep craving for brisket from time to time this will suffice. But it's certainly nothing special. It's nowhere near as good as beef butter for instance.

And my question is really is this the best we can do in downtown Madison for BBQ? Really? City is really growing we're becoming an actual real city now. We need actual real barbecue in the downtown area. Come on now.

The field between the Lakeshore path and Waters residence hall (dormitory with stone siding) is chock full of these absolutely amazingly gorgeous purple flowers

What on earth is taking so long with the parking lot project by the limnology building at the trailhead of the Lakeshore path?

It's been months and months now! Near as I can tell all they're doing is resurfacing the parking lot and adding some concrete curves. How long can that possibly take? I looked just the other day and it still looks like it's not even halfway done. What the hell?

This is the location in case you're unfamiliar

Really fascinating and in depth investigation this sub stack author did here. Insane stuff. These “health experts” get up to some really wild things let me tell you. Jordan Peterson's daughter recently announced that he had sepsis and had serious complications from it, he hasn't been seen in public since then. Safe to say he's still struggling with his health.

This old injury had caused “chronic disc degeneration,” Hyman explained, and he’d been seeking treatment. “I ended up having an injection, which is a pretty common treatment to help relieve pain,” he told Shetty. “And one of the risks of injections of any needle is infection.”

Notice how vague that is. What injection? From whom? Where?

According to Hyman, the infection “took off” in the closed space of his spine. Within days, he couldn’t walk. Within a week, he had surgery. But the surgeons “couldn’t reach the abscess” and essentially gave up. “They said, ‘We can’t do anything,’ and basically left me to die. They gave me antibiotics and said, ‘Cross your fingers, and here are some painkillers.’”

Does that sound plausible to you? Can you imagine any doctor shrugging their shoulders and leaving Mark Hyman—a man with massive social media reach and the ability to ruin a medical practice with a single post—to die?

The story gets stranger. Hyman claims a doctor friend had to tell him to seek a second opinion. Think about that: Mark Hyman, whose entire career is based on providing second opinions to mainstream medicine, needed someone else to suggest he get one?

Eventually, he made it to UCSF, “the top neurosurgery center in the world,” where a “Hail Mary surgery” saved his life. He was “maybe a couple of days away from dying.” He lost 25 pounds. He couldn’t brush his own teeth or “wipe my own ass.”

But here’s what he didn’t say: what was that injection, and who gave it to him?

There's a lightsaber duel between Maul and the two good guys in a dark room with brilliantly flashing lightsabers and it looks absolutely fantastic. Then there's another dual with maul on a train in a tunnel and again the lighting is crazy and the whole thing just looks amazing. The visuals on this show are absolutely top notch
