Good Guys Car Show

If you are ever in the area of Columbus Ohio in August. I would definitely recommend visiting the 3 day event of Hot Rod Cars from all over. There are over 5,000 different Hot Rods to check out and enjoy. Below are some picture from when I went.

Jazz dude, jazz duding at the San Antonio airport. Been jamming for there for years. Good times.

Good Vs. Evil

Hi everyone! I hope you’re all well. Today, I am exploring why we seem to be drawn again and again to the theme of good vs. evil. Let’s get to it!

The Universal Appeal of Good Vs Evil

The more books and films I consume, the more I wonder why human beings find the duality of good and evil so compelling. Seriously — think about how it shows up in nearly every culture. Whether it’s ancient Greek mythology (Zeus vs the Titans) or modern storytelling (Harry Potter vs Voldemort), this battle is always there.

Here are three reasons that might help to explain why:

1 It’s Innately Relatable
Deep down, we all like to root for someone — or something. Good versus evil gives us clear stakes to invest in. We want Batman to defeat the Joker and the rest of Gotham’s nasties. We cheer on Aslan and the Narnians in their fight against the White Witch in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe because we become invested; it feels like we’re fighting, too.

It mirrors an internal conflict we grapple with daily. Do I take the high road, or do I snap at that annoyingly loud coworker or neighbour? Stories exploring the theme of good and evil resonate because they reflect our own moral dilemmas, even in heightened, fantastical ways.

2 It’s Simple yet Versatile
Another reason good and evil reign supreme is its adaptability. It can be a straightforward backdrop — like cowboys (good guys) against outlaws (bad guys) in old-school Westerns. Or, it can become a deep and philosophical discussion — think of Gregory Maguire’s novel Wicked, which recounts the life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West and asks us,“What really is good? And what really is evil?”

3 It’s Universally Human
As we established at the start, there’s no culture, era or corner of the globe where you won’t find stories of moral conflict. From ancient tales like Pandora’s Box to modern dramas like Breaking Bad, this theme is part of our collective human storytelling DNA.

Overall, Fiction gives us a playground to explore simple conflicts safely — to question motives, empathize with flawed characters, and think deeply about what it means to do the right thing or, in some circumstances, what it might mean to do the wrong thing but for the right reasons.

If this theme fascinates you as much as it does me, I’d love to hear about your favourite “good vs evil” stories and characters in the comments below. Whether it’s a guilty pleasure movie, an obscure indie book, or a bestselling graphic novel, let me know why those stories resonate so much!

And if you’re a writer working on something that explores this theme, remember — it’s not about sticking to formulas but about creating something that feels true to the human experience. Readers will always love a character who, against all odds, fights back against the darkness with their innate or learned “goodness” — even if that darkness comes from within themselves.”

Thank you, as ever, for reading today’s post. It means a lot!

Until next time,

George

When someone says "It's not antisemitic..." to me it reads the same way as "I'm one of the good guys..."

Good people don't need to announce that they're good. People that announce it do it as a form of signaling in lieu of doing good things.

People who say "It's not antisemitic..." often do it right before they do something antisemitic, or in response to being called out on their antisemitism.

It's "I can't be antisemitic! I'm one of the good guys, therefore you (Jews) must be the bad ones!".

Nick Knudsen, of The Huffington Post, posted this genuinely heartwarming video over at the hellsite of a decent dude taking Mom's For Liberty to task at a Virginia School Board meeting for such things as book bans, promoting segregationist policies, or joining hand in hand with such hate groups as the Proud Boys.

Buy this guy a beer at his local bar.

Woke up to some interesting news today. It would appear that the #HiveRansomware Gang has been taken down. https://www.scmagazine.com/analysis/ransomware/notice-on-hive-ransomware-site-claims-seizure-by-fbi-europol?external_id=HBwZ-n4B490LDY0Z-dKj&external_id_source=mrkto&mkt_tok=MTg4LVVOWi02NjAAAAGJjgDjxI7Quxnvn1dDKVtkFHU7zdk93j0TL7ocD2SwuAAcr1k2YbWxSGv7tfEHn6GOvCcebcAwc3X5co3AlFFNixo9Hty9BWX4VsvTCEiG_Q

I checked around some #DarkWeb forums, and it would appear this actually happened in a joint, international effort. The #USDOJ claims to have "hacked the hackers", took down their #TOR site, and have apparently #decrypted 1500 companies. If it sticks, this is a big win for the #GoodGuys. Bye bye #Hive!

Soooo a good story about a good corporation. #Costco recently got into a dust up with one of its investors. CitiGroup took the Costco Admins to task for not marking up their prices due to the higher costs from inflation. See the posts below. They insist people would be happy to absorb the costs. Costco stood their ground and kept the stable prices as opposed to gouging the public.
