White American pervert digs up corpses
For sale online from "deadshitdaddy" Gerlach
(BorisT.) Metalhead Jonathan Gerlach, 34, from Ephrata, Pennsylvania, arrested for stealing more than 100 human remains in repeated burglaries from a historical graveyard named Mount Moriah Cemetery in Yeadon Borough and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Yuck! Did he also listen to pop or rap or ska?
Metal leads to madness and disinterring corpses? It might for some given the lyrics of such bands as Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Exhumed, Avenged Sevenfold, Septic Flesh, and even old-time punk rockers T.S.O.L. It may start as a joke -- or hardcore fandom/fanaticism about horror movies -- but who knows who might take it literally or as a suggestion?

Gerlach, as passionate as a ghoul about death
WIKI: In January 2026, Jonathan Gerlach of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, was arrested and charged with burglary, abuse of a corpse, and the desecration and theft of venerated objects stolen from Mount Moriah Cemetery. Authorities had been investigating vandalism and theft of 26 mausoleums and underground vaults from the cemetery that began in fall 2025. Gerlach was caught leaving the cemetery at night with a sack containing the mummified remains of two children, three skulls, and various loose bones. An investigation of his house in Ephrata revealed over 100 pieces of human bones stolen from the cemetery (Source: Man stole hundreds of skulls and bones from Mount Moriah Cemetery, authorities say).

Does this mean we're breaking up? 😭


Try Axe, spray 16 times, and rub it in; no need for a shower

(Buddhism) How to love without attachment [desperate pathetic clinging] (Buddhism in English)

LYRICS: "Voila"
Listen to me, me, the half singer
Talk about me, to your loved ones, to your friends
Tell them about this little girl with black eyes and crazy dreams
What I want is to write stories that you will hear about
That's all

[CHORUS] Voilà, voilà, voilà, here is who I am
Here I am, even if I'm scared as I'm naked, yes
Here I am in the noise and in silence

Look at me, or at least what's left of it
Look at me, before I hate myself
What can I say that another hasn't already said?
I don't have much, but I place here what I do have
Voilà

[CHORUS] Voilà, voilà, voilà, here is who I am
Here I am, even if it's the end as I'm naked
That's my face, that's my scream, here
I am, never mind


Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà right here
Me, my dream, my will, how
I'm dying from it, how I'm laughing at it
Here I am in the noise and in silence

Do not leave, I'm begging you to stay for a long time
It might not save me, no
But I don't know how to live without you

Love me how you would love a friend who's leaving forever
I want to be loved, because I don't know myself how to like the shape of me

[CHORUS] Voilà, voilà, voilà, here is who I am
Here I am, even if it's the end as I'm naked
Here I am in the noise and in rage, too

Finally, look at me and my eyes and my hands
All I have is here, it's my face, it's my scream
Here I am, here I am, here I am
Voilà, voilà
Voilà, voilà

Parrots: Avoid fools, associate with wise

I had to get out of that situation. I'd rather fly alone than keep company with a fool.
25 funniest comics about parrots, illustrated by keeper of the birds herself (boredcomics.com)
Stay far away from fools, and instead associate with the wise
Avoiding fools and
Associating with the wise,
Giving respect to the deserving,
This is [among] life's highest blessings.

Sattigumba and Pupphaka
Asevanā ca bālānaṃ, paṇḍitānañca sevanā;
Pūjā ca pūjaneyyānaṃ
etaṃ maṅgalamuttamaṃ.

Maṅgala Sutra
That's a good bird! - Thank you, sir.
These lines verses from the "Blessings Sutra" uttered by the Buddha who was asked, “What is life's highest blessing?” He spoke of 38 blessings. However, this first verse is perhaps the most important. We are smart to distinguish the fools from the wise.

The Commentary to this verse explains: Fools commit unskillful karma (demeritorious deeds of body, speech, and mind).

The wise create skillful karma (meritorious deeds of body, speech, and mind). The wise develop virtue (sila, morality, ethical conduct).

Lay Buddhists keep Five Precepts, Eight Precepts on fasting (lunar observance) days, and Ten Precepts on retreat or during intensive practice). Monastics vow to adhere to 227 Precepts, including eight more for females who follow the garudhammas.

When a wise person hears about or recollects the Five Precepts, or a wise monastic hears about or calls to mind the 227 Precepts, that person becomes happy.

When one hears of the unskillful karma created by breaking precepts, one becomes happy because of not having broken those precepts and knowing that bad karmic results (resultants and fruits or vipaka and phala) will be avoided.

When one hears of skillful karma due to virtue, one becomes happy, knowing that welcome results will come. This is true for "wise" people, according to the Bālapaṇḍita Sutra (MN 129).

I'm not a fool. I'm drunk -- and loving it. 🤢🤮
Fools (bāla) are described in the same discourse:

Suppose a fool is sitting in a council hall, street, or crossroads, where people are discussing what is proper and suitable. And suppose that fool is someone who kills living creatures, steals, engages in sexual misconduct, lies (deceives), and uses intoxicants that occasion negligence.  That fool thinks:

"‘These people are discussing what is proper and fitting; those things are found in me, and I am seen in them!’

"This is the first kind of suffering and sadness a fool experiences in the present life.

"Those who fail to uphold the Five Precepts [which are useful for all humans of whatever religion or philosophy] for lay practitioners or 227 for monastics become fearful when they hear these precepts and the negative results from breaking them. They are called fools."

Actually, the ones who become afraid have some hints of wisdom, for they know they should change [so as to avoid future suffering].

I'm starting to think you might be a bad influence on me. - Shut the front door, Birdbrain.
.
It is the ones without fear who do not become afraid at all when hearing these things who are absolute fools. They are the most dangerous because they hold wrong views and act on them. They are dangerous because they believe the unskillful actions they do are actually skillful, and they spread these wrong views with others.

The Commentary to the Maṅgala Sutra, "The Discourse on Blessings," says that this is like a house on fire, burning: It easily spreads to neighboring houses.

Spiritual development starts with being morally wise. After morality is developed, one is capable of developing stillness of mind (samatha, samadhi).

Those who have developed stillness (samadhi, unification, concentration, coherence) have completed the second part of “being wise.”

The third part is to develop insight knowledge or vipassana. One must have the ability to focus, be calm, and remain still to develop insight knowledge. And one must have virtue (morality) to develop focus (non-distractedness).

That is why it is said that virtue, stillness, and wisdom (sīla, samādhi, and paññā), in this order and not in any other order, is the path to enlightenment.

The highest level of insight is the glimpsing or realization of nirvana (Pali nibbāna). And the highest level of attaining nirvana (while still alive) is full enlightenment or arahant knowledge.
  • While a person yet lives, this is called enlightenment with remainder because one is still experiencing the results of previous karma, while no longer accruing any new karma. All intentional actions at this point are called kriyas or "simple (functional) actions." They do not bear fruit. When one enters final nirvana or parinibbana, this is enlightenment without remainder.
An arhat (arahant) is someone in whom passion (greed and clinging), aversion (hatred and fear), and delusion (ignorance and wrong views) are completely destroyed without remainder. These are the noble ones who have laid down the burden, who have made an end of suffering and rebirth here and now.

Where do I ordain?
Wanting to practice a direct path to enlightenment free of all worldly distractions, many people ask where to ordain. To find a proper abbey, look for spiritually wise monastics. While this is difficult to discern by merely looking, morally wise monastics are easier to detect.

One cannot be spiritually wise without being morally wise. Therefore, start at a place where both the monastic rules (vinaya) and meditation are regarded as important.

Rotten apple

[In the West, one bad apple rots the entire barrel.] In addition to a burning house spreading fire to another, the Maṅgala Sutra Commentary speaks of rotten fish spreading rot to nearby objects.

One who ties up putrid fish
with blades of kusa grass
makes the kusa grass smell foul:
so it is in the following fools
(It 68, 9-12, Ja IV 435, 28-29, JaVI 236 4-5).

Maṅgala Sutra Commentary: In contrast, the commentary explains that if one were to wrap tagara jasmine flowers with leaves, those leaves would become wonderfully fragrant.

One who ties up tagara
with leaves [fallen from a tree]
makes the leaves sweetly fragrant:
So it is in following the wise
(It 68, 13-16, Ja IV 436, 1-2, Ja VI 236, 6-7).

Maṅgala Sutra Commentary: This is literally used to explain that whatever is near to us can easily “rub off” on us. Perhaps the best example of this is our language or accent.

Not long ago, if someone were from New York City or Long Island, one could easily tell by the way that person talked.

My father is from the Bronx, and everyone who hears him speak knows it. This is becoming a thing of the past because of TV and internet videos that are homogenizing us.

Think about it. Television and internet media affect us in deeply rooted and subconscious ways. They affect the way we speak without us realizing it. If they can affect the way we sound to others, why would they not impact our attitudes, beliefs, and morals without us realizing it?

As internet algorithms choose more and more polarizing and extreme material to present to us, those things will become a part of us. They become the new normal. They already have.

We are encouraged to associate or live with the wise, with those who are higher than us in terms of morality and wisdom. This is very important because it will be easy for this to rub off on us, such as the fragrance of flowers.

The twin parrots Buddhist birth story

The Sattigumba Jātaka is listed in the Commentaries quoted above to explain this point.

It is the tale of two parrots born as twins. A storm comes, and they are separated shortly after birth.

One bird is raised by a gang of thieves, the other by hermit wandering ascetics. The king comes across both parrots at different times. The first encounter is the bad parrot who speaks of stealing and killing, while the other speaks of sharing and kindness. The king is moved by the difference between the two.

This story may seem hard to believe, but we can find examples of parrots on YouTube that point this out. Believe it or not, many parrots are in need of shelter. Enter “parrot + a location” into a search engine and see the many organizations looking for new nests for their avian orphans. 
  • The video above is about a rescued bird who lived with bad people and witnessed a terrible crime.
This parrot witnessed the murder of its owner. It became a key witness at the trial in the human world. Likewise, there are numerous channels with loving parrots who obviously had loving owners, such as this one:

Hey, give me a kiss. - Sure, 'bout time you asked. Hey, WTH? Why you you little love-blocker!

Hello? What the H do you want? - Les, is that U?
This post by Bhante, now edited by Wisdom Quarterly, is dedicated to Bhante’s cousin, Les Brodie, who died. He had a well-trained talking bird and told me about what a joy it was to have it. It had its own bike, and the bird would often pick up the house phone with its claw on the first ring and imitate his voice, “Hello? Uh huh...ummm...yes...uh huh…”

Apparently, sometimes his friends would have whole conversations with the bird without Les knowing it. He was a very special bird, and his person was not so bad either.

If we are parents, our children are our parrots. They are watching and listening whether we like it or not, and they will mimic and model themselves after us.

Moreover, WE are all talking birds, parroting whomever we follow and associate with. Those with whom we associate rub off on us like wrapping around stinky fish or fragrant flowers. So it is wise to be wise in choosing our associates.

Avoiding fools and
Associating with the wise,
Giving respect to those worthy of it,
This is life’s highest blessing.

Trump is Von Shits-in-Pants, says Cohen

Farting Trump wear XXXL white tennis shorts which show stains (Jimmy Kimmel Live)

Stephen Colbert says means things about Trump, kissing and groping himself in prison orange
.
Trump can't hold it in, can't wait to fart.
Michael Cohen was Trump's lawyer and right-hand man, his fixer paying off women to keep quiet. He was so close to Trump that he could smell him. That is, Cohen could not avoid smelling the foul odors. According to Joel Casler, a TV producer who knows him and his family very well, Trump is incontinent (unable to hold his feces) and reeks of soiled trousers, wet leg, soggy socks, bad denture breath, constant flatulence, and soiled underwear. For Cohen to independently dub Trump "VonShitzinPantz" is confirmation of the noises Trump is making in court, farting so loudly that he sometimes accidentally wakes himself up.
