Black Swan vs Black Swan! OHMY!

"A black swan is an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially severe consequences. Black swan events are characterized by their extreme rarity, their severe impact, and the practice of explaining widespread failure to predict them as simple folly in hindsight."

I consider tRump a black swan event.

The new corona virus has been called a black swan event.

Maybe it takes one black swan to take out another?

That's a little better for my workouts! ha

I might be a little younger than you, but I hadn't gotten into BTS, yet.

Now I will add that one.

My playlist is a little cray, very eclectic. Everything from Anime music (theme from Paprika) to New Order to the Corrs to just one extended Kelly Clarkson to Vivaldi to the brand new Green Day. I was just a little kid in the 80s but I love a lot of the fun music back then, and Pop Punk from the 90s, and various lesbian groups like Indigo Girls, Anastasia Luna and Tegan and Sara, and, of course, trollish music like the Numa Numa song (by O-Zone ), or Gangnum Style. ha
