On November 24, 1973, Roxy Music's third album "Stranded" was released. My favorite song from this album is "Serenade," mainly because of the double, layered guitar solo by my favorite guitarist Phil Manzanera. The other main members of the group are Bryan Ferry (lead vocal, keyboardist, songwriter) and Andy Mackay (saxophone, oboe). My favorite keyboardist Eddie Jobson joined the group on this album, replacing Brian Eno. Jobson also plays electric violin. (I attended two Ferry solo concerts in 1988 in Philadelphia and in New York City.)November 24, 2022, at home
I think that I tried eating a sardine once decades ago and didn't like it. In fact, the sardines in the photo look like what I used as bait when I went fishing as a teenager in the 1970s. I prefer eating anchovies in moderation, especially on pizza or in a Caesar salad.November 24, 2024, at home

Every November 23rd, Fibonacci Day honors Leonardo Bonacci, one of the most influential mathematicians of the Middle Ages. The date corresponds to the first numbers of the Fibonacci sequence: 1 1 2 3.November 22, 2024, at home
This EXACTLY explains what has happened. The sign on the desk refers to the MGTOW Movement (Men Going Their Own Way) where men swear off women in an effort to live happier lives.

Now that Trump is president-elect, I am watching the news on TV again so that I can get some good news. I watch Fox News for information, and sometimes MSNBC and CNN for implosions and hatred.
I have also downloaded news apps on my phone: Fox News, The Epoch Times, The Washington Times, Newsmax, and New York Post.

This afternoon, I created and uploaded a video onto my YouTube channel to celebrate International Men's Day today.November 19, 2024, at home: "An Odd Story on International Men’s Day"
Today (November 19, 2024) is one of my most favorite days of the entire year: International Men's Day !!! I have celebrated this special, celebratory day every year since the early 1990s, when I officially became a Men's Rights Activist, when I was in my early 30s. I still fight the good fight for men's rights and father's rights, although these days, in a mostly mellow manner.November 19, 2024, at home, International Men's Day
In the 1990s, my friend Tom and I used to play games of Speed Monopoly, meaning we played the game of Monopoly as fast as we could. One afternoon in my dad's living room, we played FIVE games in three-and-a-half hours. I lost all five games.November 18, 2024, at home
I am fairly sure that I have eaten Vichyssoise. It was most likely when I was a young kid in the later 1960s, maybe early 1970s.November 17, 2024, at home

"Double Fantasy" by John Lennon and Yoko Ono was released on November 17, 1980. I purchased this album on vinyl within a few days of its release. About a month earlier, I purchased the 45-rpm vinyl record of "(Just Like) Starting Over"/"Kiss Kiss Kiss" around the time of its U.S. release on October 23, 1980.November 16, 2024, at home

That's true for me. When I improvise on a piano, if I hit a wrong note, I play the next few notes wrong, so it sounds like my first wrong note was on purpose. I then turn my improv into some kind of cheesy, campy, kitchy, avant-garde piece of music, at least a section of it, until I can get back to playing my normal improv. After I finish, the entire improv sounds proper and somewhat interesting. For me, every improv is the quintessential improv.November 15, 2024, at home
Someone on Facebook asked me what I think of Taylor Swift. This was my response.
I can best answer that by stating a line from the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Principal Ed Rooney describes student Ferris Bueller, saying: "He gives good people bad ideas." Swift is a blatant misandrist who bashes males at all times and cashes in on her hatred of men, whether or not her attitude is authentic. Swift is the new Alanis Morissette. I understand that there is a need for the toxicity of the music of Swift, Morissette, and the likes of death metal music, but I don't particularly like it. Swift is in her 30s, but she acts like a 12-year-old, which is OK. She is appealing to her fan base. I haven't heard any of her music other than a few seconds of that "Never, Ever, Ever" song long ago. That stuff is quite unappealing to me. In fact, I very rarely listen to any female singers. I also haven't heard any Lady Gaga songs. Swift uses her money in donations to help females. That's OK. If I were wealthy, I would donate to organizations that help men. Basically, I don't pay much attention to her. I prefer positive music, although I do occasionally listen to Pink Floyd.

I looked for a meme on the Internet that had all of this information so that I could post it to help men who are just starting to date women. I couldn't find any, so I decided to make one by myself. I think it came out fairly well.

Many heartfelt thanks go to Barron !!! 👍
Barron Trump, Donald Trump's 18-year-old son, was instrumental in getting his father re-elected. Barron mobilized the "Bro Vote" (men voting) and the "Manosphere" vote in support of his father, specifically by suggesting that Donald appear on Joe Rogan's podcast.
As of September 2024, Rogan's YouTube channel boasts 17.3 million subscribers and over 5 billion views. His Spotify podcast following stands at 14.5 million, making it the most popular show on the platform. Most of his subscribers are men.
By definition, the Manosphere is "a loosely affiliated network of masculinist websites, blogs, and online forums."
As you may know, I have been a Men's Rights Activist since the early 1990s, when I was in my early 30s. I have only become aware of the Manosphere quite recently. I now consider myself to be a tangential member, meaning that I have created and uploaded somewhat-related videos onto my YouTube channel in regard to the 2024 Election. I definitely imbibe some Manosphere content.
