Under New Management

Image
  Okay, not really, but I'm going to make a change because I do listen and I do care about the environment. I will no longer use AI generated images to go along with my blog posts. I have been using visuals ever since I began blogging in 2009. Back then I relied on using an app where I did the drawing. Since I no longer use a computer, I can't go back to my beautiful, amazing art. I'm limited now but I'm also a person who needs visuals so I will think of something. It will probably be crap drawing which I'll then snap with my phone, I dunno. I am concerned really about the extreme amount of clean water AI data centers need to churn out "slop" as the anti-sloppers call it. I still don't have a problem with the idea of artificial intelligence. It's useful when used for good but like everything, bad people also use it. As for AI eventually rising up and taking over, I couldn't give two figs considering the amount of damage we humans have done to t...

Hump Wednesday 14

Image
  Oooh, I don't know who David is but he's in big trouble! Apparently, the protein bars that bear his name are loaded with fat and double the amount of calories claimed. The actual co-founder of David's bars is, Peter Rahal, who spins so fast I'm dizzy. Incorrect testing due to not using the same equipment that takes off 400% more fat. He must have learned how to talk from the Donald. This whole thing reminds me of an episode from Seinfeld where the crew can't get enough of the frozen yogurt which allegedly has zero fat. Kramer notices Elaine and Jerry are putting on some weight so they have the yogurt tested. Here's a link but beware, Rudy Giuliani is also in it. A lawsuit has begun so we'll see where this goes.  How did I miss this story about the anesthesiologist who tried to throw his wife off a cliff!? I watched the trial where she describes what happened exactly one year ago today, her birthday as she and her husband were walking a trail in a remote ...

Planes, Planes And Autocrats

 Here's a question for you travelers waiting in airports, most likely fuming, unless the left is using propaganda and all is going well even though TSA haven't been paid in weeks, are calling in sick or just not showing up and are being replaced by men who were hired to be thugs because they proved to be thugs after breaching the Capitol, shitting in the hallways, screaming for Pelosi blue blood or the red of Mike Pence -is it really necessary to be there? I'm not sure what could possibly be that important that you must fly the friendly skies right now. Perhaps you made vacation plans and your trip is non-refundable. Perhaps grumpy Uncle Fred died and though you hated his guts word is he had some money and a will. Or, maybe beloved Aunt Betsy died. I can understand if you need a transplant and the only place where it will happen is 300 miles away and you must be there in four hours or deal is off. Flying sure has changed since the Wright brothers invented flying and that ge...

Cry Me A River

Image
I was ten years old when my mother handed me a cigarette and asked me to light it up for her. She was too busy trying to stay on the road as she swerved from lane to lane. I don't know how we made it home that night. It wasn't her first time driving drunk and it wouldn't be her last. The fact that she allowed her children to be in the car with her is something I cannot forgive. In all the years she drove, she was never stopped. Maybe life for her would have changed. Perhaps she would have finally gotten the help she so desperately needed. There were too many enablers, too many people who knew she needed help, who allowed her to drive us to school in the morning still buzzing from last night's twelve pack. So, the video (one I cannot even watch yet) of Justin Timberlake stumbling along during a sobriety test, then doing everything in his power to suppress the video triggers a lot of emotions. He claimed he would suffer backlash if his fans saw him fumbling and mumbling, ...

I Am The Enemy

Image
  I am the enemy. Never have I been more proud of any honor than being Trump's nemesis. We've been through quite a lot in these past two weeks. I don't have to share the cliff notes. Y'all should be up to date. We see what the regime is doing and like everything else the orange man touches, it turns to the stuff farmers shovel in their bankrupt barns.  Henry James noted that there are three things people need in order to survive- three things in human life that are important.  Kindness  Kindness  and Kindness  So, I will be kind as I write this letter to you, Donald J Trump. Dear Sir, I know how very much you like to be called, "Sir." I can certainly honor your wish as other warm greetings which come to mind cannot be written here. I do hope you are in good spirits, although I have heard rumors that things are not going as planned. I'm sure your loving wife, Melania, sits beside you, holding your bluish hand, as she tries to comfort you. "Be beest, Do...

Exploding Head Syndrome

Image
  I'm not a hypochondriac but I wonder why I haven't had this disease, or, maybe I have... It's called EHS. Exploding Head Syndrome. You're never too old to be gobsmacked by information - life hurdles that are absolutely bonkers. And this one has been around. Descartes mentioned it back in the 1600's. So, what exactly is the exploding head syndrome? It usually happens right as we go into sleep mode, awake but nearly entering dreamland. (Isn't that also the time we free fall as well? No mention of that) This is about noises, very loud and scary noises, like someone banging on your door, a bomb going off, perhaps a marching band... This exploding head syndrome usually accompanies other factors like stress, insomnia, head colds. College students are more susceptible because their sleep pattern has changed and they are stressed. Women and old people also suffer more as well. As if we don't have enough shit to deal with. I am the perfect subject for this syndrome...

Scraping The Barrel

Image
Yeah, maybe you should acknowledge this one, FEMA. It's really no surprise that Trump is digging to the bottom of the barrel to find loyal minions. This guy takes the cake- or should I say, waffle. Gregg Phillips claims he was in a car driving along with his boys when he started hankering for some waffles. Next thing he knew he was sitting outside a waffle house fifty miles away. He apparently shrugged and said, "ya gotta go with the flow. I do believe this guy is the director of FEMA. I'm getting my job descriptions mixed up, what nut goes to which job. At this point it hardly matters. The White House is now the insane asylum. Maybe Phillips is just a big jokester. Well, that would be a first in the land of MAGA. I didn't think any of them had a sense of humor. Calling people names is funny to them. Looks like he's another grifter. This is just one instance in a long list of scams by Phillips. This is from Wikipedia. I'm really not sure how many dirty, slimy,...
