I begin by saying the world is a very troubled place and I don't want us to pretend that it is easy, it's not. We are faced with a very challenged world. I realized this when in 2021 I was sitting in a summit of the Executive Council of the African Union and it was whispered to me that the African Union Commission chairperson had issued an invitation to Israel to become an observer at the African Union. Imagine my horror. I decided at that moment that I would raise my arm and would propose that this decision be rescinded. I walked around the room seeking supporters. Of the 54 nations I got three. And I include Sadek in that. But I said, nevertheless, this is not gonna happen. I therefore lifted my arm and said I wish to table a matter. I have learned of this and as South Africa we object to it and it must not be implemented, we want our leaders to discuss it. And we will never accept it as South Africa and while we appreciate the role that the Organization of African Unity played in us achieving our freedom as South Africa, this decision of the AU Commission chairperson will make us consider whether we can be present in the African Union. I thought I would get support from many of the countries gathered in the room. But what I discovered is that countries that are oppressors, that continue to be colonial occupiers, are using financial muscle to provide grant in aid to African countries and secure the depoliticized support of African countries for these oppressive nations. Among them, Israel and Morocco, they're playing a very negative role in Africa. And comrades, I'm being frank here because you in this room, you are supposed to be trade union leaders, many of you, or you lead progressive organizations and you are failing in your duty to convince governments in Africa and all other countries of the South that they cannot tolerate such situations. It can't be left to us as members of government to be the ones that take up these issues with no word from progressive organizations. This is intolerable and cannot continue. So I'm hoping out of this conference that you are gonna decide, rise up, rise up, rise up. Don't say what's comrade Naledi doing. That decision on Israel hasn't been implemented and it won't be while I'm still there. But what are you gonna do? You should be talking to all progressive unions worldwide, the unions in the United States of America, weak or strong, should be making it clear to President Biden they don't appreciate his statement, which has led to the slaughter we are seeing today. The union movement in the United Kingdom should be doing the same if we know our work. I have no idea what has happened to our organizational capability because as South African leadership, our trade union movement was able to marshal under the worst oppressive chains. We were able to marshal international solidarity of a kind that has not been seen since the struggle against apartheid. Where have all these progressive leaders gone and why? Why are we not able to organize? Why are we only sitting in a room as 300? There should be 3,000 here. There's something wrong and that's why I'm saying we're in a troubled world. And we need to recognize that the world has shifted because what has happened is in a determined fashion progressive values and principles have been hacked and hacked and hacked and it is now difficult to find a voice of the left. And we need to revive. We need to organize. We need to be smart. We need to be strategic. And one thing I've realized is making good speeches does not assist. I may feel good that I had the right rhetoric at that platform, but if the next day my rhetoric has not led to action, my speech was useless. So I hope out of this, Noomsa is going to lead a process where Comrade Irving Jim and Comrade Chiroi will meet with their counterparts in all unions, whatever they are, and say as South African trade union movement, let us lead, let us lead, let us agree for one month, none of our unions are going to lift any Israeli goods out of any transport. Just one thing. And let us see, let us see whether our leadership has convening power or not. This week coming, a number of proposed resolutions are going to come before the United Nations. We must keep our eye on that process. We must ensure it's the right kind of resolutions. Today, the people of Palestine need of help. They need medical supplies. They're unable to bandage wounds. They cannot provide help. Medicine's on frontier is doing a good job. They are absolutely there, but they are also being decimated. What are we going to do about that? Let's ask every South African, there are 62 million of us, they say. All of us must donate one thing, food or medical goods, and let us persuade an airline to take them all to the Egyptian border with Palestine and deliver those goods. Let's do something comrades. Let's stop talking because the world is in a terrible place and all it needs are a few good men and women, are organizers, strategists, and not to organize because your nooms are only, but to organize everybody. What we have to put aside if you want to change the world are divisions between us because it doesn't make any sense to believe that I must be the most progressive, the most left, the most radical, and the world is suffering. The most progressive thing is to unite and get action. And that's what I hope you're going to begin to do. So anyway, on my story, on the presence of Israel as an observer in the African Union, I have managed to pause it for now with the support of my president, but it's not off the table in the EU. So again, I'm asking you, pay attention. Having said that, because I prepared very hard, I'm going to present my speech. And I begin by saying, one of the things we must realize is that developing South is caught in the middle of rising global tensions. I know it is not correct to speak of the South as though it's a homogeneous entity, but from my experience, I can say to you, it is the region that most hopefully has the basis and foundation for the kind of radical shift we need. So I look to countries of the South, not the North. And I think it's important that we do that. What we are seeing in the world is an increasing pushback against the forces that seek to promote collective action, international solidarity, and global cooperation. We see the reemergence of tendencies toward right-wing nationalism, unilateralism, and populism as an ongoing trend. Comrades, another assignment, engage the media. Why is it all right for a Palestinian journalist to be murdered, but it's not okay for a journalist from Canada to be murdered? What kind of value system is that? We've been silent about Shireen Abu Akle. She was murdered, murdered before our eyes. The media today, since the period of the embeddedness of Iraq, totally without objectivity, except Al Jazeera, that's the only one. The rest, I'm sorry. But you need to be active proponents of an objective media that informs, that is balanced, and that tells the truth. Not a media that lies and tells you a quarter of the story. So we've got to address all these things. What we see in the globe today is widening inequality. And we know that the economy of the globe continues to deliver inequitable and unjust outcomes. Developed countries have selectively opted out of the observance of international law, while they continue to insist that rules must be implemented by developing countries, even at the cost of providing services to their people. Just last year, Ghana was facing an incredible financial meltdown. They approached the IMF. And this year, the IMF has suddenly reported that Ghana is going to see amazing growth after they received loans from the IMF. But nobody's examining, do the children of Ghana have classrooms? Do they have teachers in those classrooms? Are they able to go to hospital and get treatment? Are the people of Ghana getting housing? Because the first target of IMF loans is public services. So it's important that we look not just at what support is provided, but at the quid pro quos that governments have to make in order to have access to that funding. Developed countries have certainly not met their commitments to the developing world and are consistently shifting responsibility to us in the global south. You must address climate change. You must stop using coal. You must reduce emissions. You must do A, B and C. We've developed, they had thousands of years to develop and in a short space of time, we must arrest our development and respond to their demands. I'm not saying coal is what we should use. I'm not saying we shouldn't reduce emissions. Don't misunderstand me, but I'm saying the kinds of demands being made on developing countries without appropriate resource responses are actually demands that are unconscionable. So what this has led to is it's become increasingly difficult to pursue sustainable development goals. We saw this year that the Secretary General of the United Nations has indicated that far from moving in a positive fashion the world is actually going backwards. We now have more poverty, more inequity, more joblessness. So the fundamental crises of our time call for international responses in our view. If we accept that the world is increasingly more fragmented, it provides an opportunity for those concerned with economic justice yourselves to work toward creating a genuinely progressive alternative. Progressive forces around the world need to push for multi-polarity and a strengthened fairer and more inclusive multilateralism by exerting more influence on global debates. We should not be silent, we should be having loud views. We need to make our economies work for the common good and we need to take all the measures necessary to protect our planet. We believe that what is needed is a different kind of multilateral architecture which is more suited to today's challenges of the world. In our own view, Comrade Ronni, despite its inadequacies, it is our belief that the United Nations must remain the primary locus for political security and development decision making as it remains the most representative global body. Despite its shortcomings, we believe a complete overhaul of the UN system is needed so that the UN Security Council is democratized and reflects the current balance of forces in the global system. It's unacceptable, eight decades nearly after its creation, five nations still wield disproportionate decision making power in the Security Council and those five number among the most problematic countries in the world, the causes of many of the problems I referred to today. So the overhaul of the UN system should include enforcement of decisions taken by what we hope will be a democratized UN Security Council. We also believe we should no longer accept a situation where countless UN resolutions are passed by the vast majority in the UN General Assembly but are merely ignored. We've had repeated calls, as Comrade Khalida said, from UN member states for Israel to withdraw from the occupied territories to the 1967 borders. These decisions have been ignored and instead we have witnessed the burgeoning expansion of illegal settlements on Palestinian land, growing oppression of the Palestinian people, gross violation of their human rights and the Gaza Strip being turned into an open air prison, regularly denied electricity, water and fuel. The current denial is not new. It's been happening time and time and time again. For 16 years, Gaza has been under siege, with its people struggling to survive the ongoing land, air and sea blockade imposed by Israel, with Palestinians denied exit and entry into the Strip. I was horrified when one of our former leaders, Comrade, I don't know if I should call him Comrade anymore, Comrade Terralicota said that Israel is not an apartheid state. Well, the Palestinians are denied free exit and entry into their own land. They do not have free movement. We didn't have free movement under apartheid. Palestinian people use separate entrances when they go through the border. We had to use separate entrances under apartheid. Palestinian children do not have free access to education. It was the same for us. So I don't know what more Israel should do for Comrade Likota to recognize that it is an apartheid state. We've seen today increased Israeli aggression under the most far right Israeli government we've ever seen. And we've seen the inaction by the Security Council, the very body whose mandate is to maintain international peace and security. Despite the fact that the root cause of this conflict is illegal occupation, we have heard a tirade of criticism of Palestinians from Western powers and unflinching support for the occupying power. Despite the fact that I've been called all kinds of names because I refused to call Russia an occupying power of Ukraine. I've always objected to double standards. These type of double standards are the result of a global system which is skewed in favor of the powerful to the detriment of those fighting for their rights and self-determination. I repeat, it is imperative that social movements raise their voices in solidarity with the Palestinian people, particularly given the notably biased media coverage of the current violence. Within the United Nations, we have seen almost unanimous support among member states for ending the illegal economic blockade of Cuba. Which is now entering its 61st year. Yet the Cuban people continue to be denied access to life-saving medicines, essential goods, and the right to trade as any other sovereign nation. These are injustices that once more need to be taken up by the global south and progressive forces worldwide to create a groundswell of popular support for the Cuban people as well as the people of Palestine and all oppressed people all over the world. In South Africa, as the South African Department of International Relations and Cooperation, we wanted to provide support to the people of Cuba after they sent an appeal to us. When our opposition parties got hold of our intention, they threw an organization called Afriforum took us to court and the court ruled that I must use that money for poor people in South Africa and not provide anything to the people of Cuba. Of course I'm appealing that decision but here's my troubling point. The progressive forces of South Africa have never spoken up in support of my fight in court and Afriforum is decimating all the progressive gains we have made in South Africa including affirmative action and we are allowing it to happen while we live. We are also articulating calls that we should overhaul the current global financial and trade architecture and much of the world is joining us in this call. We believe we need a fundamental reset of the Bretton Woods institutions including the IMF, the World Bank and the World Trade Organization. Multilateral development finance institutions need to be redesigned to respond to the challenges we are confronted with and to assist countries to meet the sustainable development goals. They must help us respond effectively to public health emergencies and to mitigate climate change. The IMF needs to be repurposed and should provide counter cyclical lending in times of debt distress, enable debt restructuring and relief and provide liquidity to all countries that require it. I'm raising all these things Comrade Chira because I believe while we should have the debates you will have in this meeting, we also must look at the real situation of the globe and determine how we interface with these challenges and address them. We are fortunate as South Africa to be part of the BRICS partnership and in BRICS as the BRICS countries we've been working toward developing a more equitable, balanced and representative global governance system. This includes the restructuring of the global financial architecture. We have built up an institution such as the New Development Bank which we own as BRICS and it has given us as emerging economies greater control over lending and greater autonomy over the progress and course of our development. As we discussed in the most recent BRICS summit which we hosted at South Africa, the concept of countries opting to conduct trade in their own currencies is to us a welcome development and we are now investigating how we can multiply such practice and have it available to all of us. Emerging economies are key to reforming global governance. The fact that we've had emerging economies holding the G20 presidency for the last four years is an opportunity that we should not waste as countries of the South. Indonesia held the presidency last year and brought back development issues into G20. India held it this year and sustained that focus. Brazil is assuming the G20 chair next year and we must ensure it holds the ground and in 2025, South Africa will be chair of G20 and again, we must strengthen the progressive ground. With leading countries of the global South able to set the world agenda, this is an opportunity for all of us to push for real change. Let's not waste it. The demands that were made over 50 years ago by the global South when it met as NAMM that we should overhaul the rules of international trade, reform the international financial system and recognize the sovereignty of each state over its natural resources. All of these articulated over 50 years ago are gaining momentum today. The global South is calling for cancellation of historical debt. There must be content to our progressive agenda. Content. The issuance of new IMF special drawing rights is something South Africa has been insisting upon the expansion of concessional development financing and technology transfer. All of these are based on the concept of the right to development which many of us have forgotten. Ironically, all of these principles form part of a declaration that the UN adopted in 1974. But this was largely disregarded by multilateral bodies that instead imposed neoliberal policies on developing countries to ensure they implement extreme trade liberalization to their people's cost. Today, developing countries which include the Africa Group, India and Cuba have tabled a proposal on the reform of the WTO, a proposal called Strengthening the WTO to promote development and inclusivity. The proposal cites World Bank data to show that the gap in per capita GDP between the developed and developing world has widened since WTO was created and calling for special and differential treatment to be upheld in future agreements. The proposal calls for respect for the right of countries to adopt different economic models and supports diversification and development. We also require multilateral security arrangements. We need to reject military alliances that divide the world into blocks but do not offer answers to the challenges we confront. We are seeing now the weaponization of the ocean, Indo-Pacific alliance and so on. All of this is meant to take unipolar control of the oceans and deny us the right to peace and development which the oceans offer the world. What we need today more than ever before and that's why this conference is to me vitally important. We need international solidarity. There's an urgent need for this in responding to the crises confronting us. During our struggle in South Africa, the principle of international solidarity was one of the key pillars of our struggle. It was through this pillar that civil society, political parties, academia and other sectors, all over the world were mobilized to isolate the apartheid regime. This pillar of international solidarity made an immense contribution to our victory against apartheid to the extent that some analysts have even tried to elevate it above other very important pillars such as the underground, the armed struggle which Comrade has referred to and the mass struggle which we must never forget. These four pillars of the struggle complemented and reinforced each other to deliver the death of the apartheid regime. So again, we need to revive international solidarity as a pillar. We need to revive underground as a pillar. We need to revive armed struggle as a pillar and we need to ensure mass struggle as a pillar. The international struggle against apartheid embodied humanity struggle against discrimination and social exclusion. Our post-apartheid South Africa has attempted to continue this tradition of active internationalism on the continent and globally. We've tried to play our part in the renewal of Africa, promoting South-South cooperation, engaging countries of the North in the interest of Africa and striving for the transformation of the global system of governance. We know we benefited and we are trying to use our benefit in the interest of others. We believe that today internationalism is going to be decisive in crystallizing new forms of organizing political forces for meaningful transformation. But as I said earlier, we need a strategic approach to the search for a better international order, one that is equitable, just, humane, inclusive and democratic. So while I agree with BDS and the focus it has, I think we need to discuss how do we activate this in a manner that allows us to achieve the outcomes we desire and not as an illustration of our ability to organize. And I haven't yet had that strategic advice. So with the BDS intervention at the ANC conference in 2017, we did indeed remove an ambassador from Israel. But I haven't seen it advance the peace agenda. So how do we act together to make gains in the struggle rather than to have illustrations of action? This is the kind of strategic discussion I hope we could have at some time. I believe we need to continue as South Africa to contribute to the building of a global progressive movement for a better Africa and a better world. People need to be shaken out of complacency and distraction. Progressive forces of the left need to step in, need to provide hope and vision and offer up concrete pathways to political action. Across the global South, the progressive community has begun to rally. We look forward to the expansion of brave, united, vibrant social movements. As the great revolutionary leader of Cuba, President Fidel Castro said, we need to unite today to build the tomorrow we yearn for, to vindicate the always excluded and to rescue faith in humanity. I hope we can do this and I thank you for listening to me. Thank you.


with a mental and emotional exhaustion that stems from prolonged social interactions and overwhelming stimuli. But there's more to it than meets the eye. In this video, we'll explore reasons behind introvert burnout and discover strategies to cultivate a stronger and more resilient personality. So get comfortable and join us as we uncover the mysteries and navigate introvert burnout. Ready? Let's dive in. Social energy drain. Have you ever felt mentally and emotionally drained after spending some time in social settings? According to renowned psychologist Dr. Susan Kane, author of Quiet, The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, introverts tend to expend more energy in social settings, leading to burnout. You're at a crowded party surrounded by loud conversations and constant interactions. While others seem to thrive in this environment, you find yourself feeling mentally and emotionally drained. It's like your social energy meter hits zero. You're not alone in this experience. Finding a healthy balance and caring for your social energy is a unique journey for each individual, acquiring self-compassion as you establish boundaries, prioritize self-care, and make choices that nurture your well-being. Through active self-listening and reflection on your sources of joy, you can approach social interactions with empathy, safeguard your energy, and cultivate a harmonious equilibrium in your life. Overstimulation. Can you recall a time when you found yourself in a situation where your senses were overwhelmed by an excessive amount of stimuli? Researcher Dr. Elaine Aron, known for her work on high sensitivity, explains that introverts are more sensitive to external stimuli, making them more prone to burnout. Whether it's a noisy open office, bright lights, or a chaotic environment, as an introvert, it can be overwhelming. In a world saturated with constant stimulation, finding solace and recharging is crucial for your well-being. It's important to carve out moments for a quiet reflection, engage in activities that bring you peace, and embrace mindful practices to create a sanctuary amidst the overwhelming noise of the world. Lack of alone time. Do you ever feel the need to retreat to a quiet space after a busy day? For a long day of meetings, socializing and interacting with others, all you crave is some peaceful alone time to recharge and restore your energy. But life often has other plans, and finding that solitude becomes a challenge. Psychologist Dr. Laurie Helgo, leather of introvert power, while your inner life is your hidden strength, highlights the importance of alone time for introverts to rejuvenate and avoid burnout. In the midst of our busy daily lives, it can be challenging to carve out precious moments of solitude, but it's essential for your overall well-being. By intentionally scheduling dedicated time for yourself, setting boundaries, and prioritizing self-care, you can create small pockets of solitude, but offer a respite, rejuvenation, and a chance to reconnect with your inner self.

Have you ever felt emotionally drained after navigating intense conversations or dealing with challenging situations? For introverts, a depth of emotional processing can be exhausting.  Your loved ones always spent their problems to you. As an introvert, you're more of a listener than a talker. However, psychologist Dr. Marty Olson Laney, author of Introvert Advantage, How Quiet People Can Thrive in an Extroverted World, explains that introverts tend to process emotions deeply, which can lead to burnout. Remember you deserve to have boundaries, recharge, and care for your emotional needs just as much as anyone else. Lack of authenticity. Have you ever felt exhausted from trying to fit into societal expectations and social norms? Imagine being in situations where you feel compelled to suppress your true self in order to conform. The pressure to be outgoing and constantly socialized can be draining for introverts. Embracing your authentic self allows you to conserve energy and find fulfillment in genuine connections. Psychologist and author Dr. Brunne Brown emphasizes the importance of embracing vulnerability and cultivating authenticity in her book, Daring Greatly, how the courage to be vulnerable transforms the way we live, parent, and lead. She suggests that by embracing our true selves, we can lead more fulfilling lives and establish deeper connections with others. And there you have it. Five reasons why introverts often feel burnt out. Do any of these resonate with you? So, know that you're not alone. And there are strategies to help you navigate through these challenges. Remember to prioritize self-care. Honor your needs for solitude. Set boundaries to protect your energy. Don't forget to share this video and thank you for watching. If you relate to this video, we also made a video on things that make introverts attractive.


The hundreds of protesters marched through Bemidji tonight to show support for the protest at the Standing Rock Reservation. The final permits for the Dakota Access Pipeline were issued in July by the Army Corps of Engineers, which sparked the protest. Mal Meyer has more. About 300 protesters gathered in Library Park as a sign of support for Standing Rock. The protest in North Dakota has been described as the largest gathering of indigenous people I think that this is kind of a turning point for indigenous people all over the world and they're kind of coming together to protect our land. One of the members of Standing Rock marched with the protesters through the town. She expressed frustration over the project and concern for what the pipeline could lead to. Everyone is always saying pipelines run our life now. That doesn't mean add more to it. That does not mean continue adding more pipelines because you think that's okay. The protesters ended the march at Bemidji State to hear from advocacy groups and community members. Our planet, what's going on in Standing Rock, what's going on with our Native people, it's bigger than any one of us. Obviously it's touched everybody here and in many others as well. The protesters at Standing Rock and here in Bemidji have expressed concern that if an oil spill were to occur that it could contaminate their water sources. Just a couple of housekeeping things. Last week Enbridge officials met with local public safety agencies in Hubbard County to create a pipeline emergency plan. The county does not currently have a multi-agency plan should one of the five buried oil pipelines in the county burst. I touch bases with my emergency manager but as far as on a large scale effort you know we do not do you know a lot of that. Motions filed during the line three regulatory process cite the Kalamazoo River oil spill which was not responded to for at least 17 hours after the pipeline had burst. Line three if it's approved and goes ahead gets pressure transmitters on each side of the valve which legacy pipelines don't have that in every position yet. Enbridge officials say they've held five similar meetings this year. We're trying to touch out to broader audience to build a larger knowledge base on how to respond. For Lakeland News I'm Mal Meyer. Homeland Security Greater Northwest EMS and the Northwest Hospital Coalition partnered with Enbridge to hold that workshop.

It's got to start from the top and the top is the places that sell electric cars. That's the top because they should be telling homeowners, by the way, you need to get a permit. It's not terrible. It's only maybe 71 bucks, 75 bucks, whatever it is. It's under 100 bucks. I'll tell you that much for the permit. You're going to need a proper charge station. Is it outside? Is it inside?  Is that what we need to do is start off with them? I really feel that we need to get the messaging from them, but the homeowner needs to ask that question. Please provide me with the certificate of acceptance. Show me the certificate that ESA has been here, has looked at it, and has signed off on it. That's if you buy a place with it? I don't care. I don't care whether it was old or new. You just take out a permit. Have it inspected. Have us come and look at it. That's the bottom


Any man or any boy accused of being the father of a child is at risk of paternity fraud, even if he didn't know the mother, even if he never touched her for one fatal reason. There is no proof required to be filed by the mother or the legal guardian that you did it to be submitted with that lawsuit against you. I have many clients found their way into paternity fraud, including men who didn't know the mother at all, men who had similar names to the biological father, to many married men, to many military men who are victims of a thing called incorrect default judgment.


Yo, what's good, YouTube? We're here with Mike and Mike. Waaaaaah! Oh my gosh. I'm hyped today. I'm hyped today. What we're gonna watch is one of the creepiest videos that was ever put on YouTube from back in the day. Back in 2008. I'm pretty sure some of y'all weren't even alive at that time. But this used to be one of the scariest videos back in the day. So let's go back and visit it. Don't hug me. I'm scared. What? Right, bro. I always wander those little pats. I know, those are like popular. They have like the little propeller. This is like some Sesame Street? Yeah, it's like Sesame... But it feels like... What's your favorite idea? Mine is being creative. How do you get the idea? I just tried to think creatively. Now when you look at this orange... It's way free, y'all. Way free. What do you see? It's just a pouring out orange. Maybe to you, but not to me. I see a silly face. Walking along and smiling at me. Forget how catchy the song was, too. This is too bad, bro. You're saying the right video. So take a look at my hair. I used my hair to express myself. Now... That's kind of wrong. It wasn't nothing. I might paint a picture of a clown. What were they, a friend you might need? I promise it gets scary. See what beautiful stuff they make? This is it. But that was part one. That's part one. They did some more. See what's towards the end? I don't know. This is it. Electra.com. Alright, there is a part two. Let's go ahead and jump into it. Don't hug me. I'm scared, too. Sometime? I think this is the last one I watched, but I don't really remember this one. I just remembered that. We're still messed up from the first part. Basically, that yellow guy... Yeah, they're like traumatized. Dude, look at him.  Come on, guys, stop mucking around. We only have five minutes until our show's on. That's not enough time! There's always time for a song. Time is a tool you can put on the wall or wear it on your wrist. The past is far behind us. The future doesn't exist. Hello. What's the time? It's quarter to nine. Time to have a bath. What do you mean? We're already clean. Scrub, scrub, scrub to the water's ground. Time is a ruler to measure the day. It doesn't go backwards. Only one way.  Going so fast like a merry-go-round. Let's go on a journey. A journey through all time. A time that's changing all the time. It's time to go to time. I make the fun, though. We don't really want to. We're going to miss our show.  Come on, it's time to go. Time is old like a Victorian time. With cobbles in play and speaking in rhyme. With cobbles and chimneys in the time. The old, the dirty, dark, the light's live. This tree that is old has circles inside. The tree that is older has shrillen and dimmed. The apple that's fresh is bright to the core. And I rot over time and I'm not anymore. Time can be told by the moon or the sun, but time flies fast when you're having fun. There's a time and a place for mucking around. Like birthdays. I'm friends with my dad. Oh. And then what happened after the olden days? Time went new and got old like history. Stuff from the past went into a mystery. An old murder. Look, computer. Everything's cool. It's the future. Time is now. The future anew. And look at all the wonderful things you can do. With gadgets and gizmos and email addresses. My dad is a c-c-computer. Is he watching, watching girls? It's quarter to eight. There's fish on my plate. It's twenty past eight. There's fish on my tray. It's eleven to twelve. There's fish in the bath. It's nine-thirties. Fish everywhere. Fish everywhere. Now you can see the importance of time. It helps us make pizza. It keeps things in line. But when did it start? And when will it stop? Time is important and I am a clock. If we run out of time, then where does it go? Is time even real? Does anyone know? Maybe time's just a construct of human perception. An illusion created by- Oh, he's like, hey, don't expose me. Oh my God. Sunrise and sunlight and day by changing seasons. The smell of hay.  Isn't it strange? How time makes your appearance change. Oh, they're all getting old, man. A little dark, bro. A little? Bro, I've never seen this one. Here, the first one was scary, but this one was like- What was it? Was it scary? Was it a- Was it a- This one was like- This one was like- What? That's not like dark? I don't- It's like darker. It makes you think about time and life. Wow. All right, well, that was Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 2.
