Thingy

  I realize I write about artificial intelligence a bit here because I find it interesting, more so because of the reaction it receives from mere mortals. I am fully aware of the environmental footprint AI creates if what I read is to be believed and if it is using massive amounts of clean water to run its system then there has to be better solutions made. That does not mean we throw away the whole idea of AI in our lives. It's here, people, and it's not going away. A lot of the stories I read are to scare the bejesus out of you, like this one  that want you to completely disavow the use of AI. The article from The Guardian claims a man killed himself after cutting off ties with AI. His wife said he had been using ChatGPT for nearly twelve hours a day. He had originally started using the app to get ideas to build their sustainable living business. She said it became an obsession, one he gave up most likely at her insistence and then committed suicide. Like other people who hav...

  Uh, what the hell is this ? I put the telly on for background noise when I'm doing things. I don't even know what station it is but it runs the same three shows every day for years. I look up to see Erika Kirk shilling for Charlie. She says for your support to the Turning Point Nazi Club you will receive Charlie's last book, published posthumously. I thought TPNC was doing well. Not that I keep tabs or anything but I thought the Mrs got a boatload of money after her beloved died. I never understood why foundations or clubs need a huge amount of money. I'll be fair and say I even question the DNC when they ask me for money. What the hell are you using it for!? My sister sent me something in the mail I had asked her to print out for me and she sent along six political pamphlets she had gotten in the mail. I texted her and lol'd because I get a few but she seems to get the mother load. She replied that the pamphlets were what she gets in a day. So, now you know what ...

  Well, I can honestly say I don't think this has ever happened to me, where a man was purposely being an asshole to me as I went about my business. According to the responders to an article in, 'The Guardian,' a woman could be walking down a sidewalk and be shoved and cursed at for not getting out of the male's way. I have linked the response article to the original story where Lucy Pasha-Robinson chronicles moments where men have been verbally and physically abusive towards her just for taking up space. It's shocking to read and difficult to understand what exactly is going on. The majority of these women claim that if they had been accompanied by a male the incidents would have never occurred.  So, what's going on guys? Are you really that angry with us to the point you need to behave in an aggressive manner? The reason I don't think I've ever had to face a situation like this is because I try to be aware of what's going on around me. If I do hap...

  Well, where do we begin? It's not only men who got chummy with Jeffrey Epstein, not just chummy but toe licking sickening with their treacle of praise and obsequiousness. I shouldn't be angrier when I see that a woman has kissed the pedo's ass even after knowing he raped children. Unfortunately, it doesn't really surprise me anymore when I hear that a man has been very naughty, however, it still stings when women forego their morality for whatever reason, usually because they need financial support, and sell their souls. I'll leave this link right here . It's quite revealing and truly sickening to witness how the royals, particularly, Sarah Ferguson, remained in contact with Jeffrey Epstein even after they claimed they had broken all ties with him. I know people believe the world princes and princesses live in is one of comfort, warm feet, crumpets and tea, but they shit like everyone else. They are terrible paying bills. They run and hide from creditors and a...

"Well how about those great men- that game- that game they play with a stick, heroes, great, great men, manly men. I invited them to celebrate and they have accepted. It's going to be great and they will be handing me their gold medals. They said, "Sir, please take these medals. There's no one more deserving than you, a great and honorable man." They'll be there in the oval office. The ladies have refused to come. Hey, I asked them but they said, "Sir, we wouldn't feel right since we're just playing for fun. We don't deserve to be honored like the men. You enjoy their manliness, sir." I said, ok, but I still want those gold medals. Anyway... oh, hi, yeah, you. How are your feet? Yeah, you. I paid a lot of money for you to get those bunions removed. Great doctor, fabulous doctor, a little expensive but it's worth it. Come on up and let's see you walk. Ok, maybe later. I gotta talk about Corny Bullet and Gorshsucks. I mean who do t...

He says he was invited. Maybe he was but I doubt it. He's the outlier who found a way to hang with the cool crowd. I don't know what the athletes on the team thought about him being there. In their ecstasy from winning the gold against Canada maybe they didn't notice the freak chugging down a beer, trying to instill himself into the celebration.  Honestly, it makes me sick to look at this image because it is the epitome of what America is right now. A creeping, ugly charade. This image brings no joy- in fact, quite the opposite. He wanted to celebrate the moment with the boys. That's really all you need to know regarding the mentality of this country. After the American women won the gold in hockey the day prior, Trump mentioned he would now have to invite them to the White House or get impeached. There's a whole lot of reasons to impeach Trump but having to sit with women and congratulate them for not bashing heads or busting teeth is not something he looked forwar...

Once upon a time there lived a fly who happened by an interesting sight to behold. A large group of flies, some he knew from sharing sugar together at the local dump were all gathered around a rather dull looking lizard. He inched closer to hear the soft spoken lizard announce to the growing crowd. "Come gather closer my friends so that I may warn you about sinister foes within your midst. They are false prophets who will tell you lies as they look into your face with such innocence!" The crowd gasped as they witnessed a most peculiar and awful spectacle. The lizard had shot out his sticky tongue and swallowed a fly right before their very eyes. A fly in the crowd spoke up as they all took a step back. "Hey, whaddya do that for? That was Ernest." The lizard moved his head as he eyed each and every fly. "You see, that is what they plan to do to you! They are diabolical. They will lie to you! They will steal your sugar stash! They will eat you, just like this!...

  How do you wake up one morning and decide you're going to leave your family and start anew? This woman  told her husband she was going to go do some Christmas shopping and never returned home. She was recently found alive and has no interest in explaining to her children why she abandoned them. There is speculation she left because of an abusive marriage which truly makes it all the more reprehensible to leave her children in that situation. There will be no charges against the woman whose location will remain confidential. A cousin spoke to the media saying she was glad she's alive and seems to be forgiving of her relative's complete disregard for anyone else. I don't know how you do that to a child.  There was a family I babysat for a few times when I was in my teens. The mother was extremely obese and wore a mumu as she explained the children's schedule to me. I remember later that evening  when the couple had gone out, looking inside their freezer for a snack,...

  Besides reading this story about the panty sniffing mayor, I know nothing about him other than he's a Republican. Shocking! The party with "family values," strikes again. I bet he goes to church every Sunday. He tells his wife what to make for dinner and what to wear. He's a strict disciplinarian, probably uses the belt and is a big grinning, hand shaker at political events. The female minor in this story is a relative according to this article. She became suspicious of Dingus and placed a camera in her bedroom. Good thing because she was right. Wesley was coming into her room to sniff her dirty underwear then he fondled himself. I admire this girl immensely. She knew exactly what to do. I doubt Mrs Dingus will be supporting her. We have found out that maga women stand by their man. They look past his lying, cheating and predatory behavior because they like their living conditions. And they've been hardwired by their church and family to forgive. This is where ...

  That's a picture of a man who is feeling fear for the first time in his life. You see that look on babies when their mothers are out of their line sight. You see that face on a teenager who knows they are gonna get hell for wrecking the family car. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has never had to fear for anything because his place in life gave him immunity - until yesterday. I'm glad he was finally arrested. Too bad it wasn't because he raped girls. I was watching a news story yesterday where a young man exclaimed the events were unfolding quickly. Virginia Giuffre would disagree if she was here to witness this historical event. Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested for sharing secrets with the pedophile, Epstein. What happened with Giuffre and other girls years ago was covered up. They were silenced and paid off, most likely threatened. Eventually some of the creeps who used Epstein to find them children to fuck will be held accountable but it will happen by the same means Andrew...

  You know what's nice? Forgetting yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Back in the day you knew who was a devout Catholic when you'd see them with the black ash smeared on their foreheads. I don't see that these days. Are people losing their religion? A fella on Bluesky wanted to know why everyone was making pancakes. I said it was an Irish thing. Actually, it's more a religious thing which happens to include the Irish and billions of believers of God Almighty. So now for forty days you are to be like Jesus and fast. Poor Jesus, his daddy was a downright bastard.  Repent you sinners !  Yeah, fuck that shit. I still don't understand how seemingly intelligent people still believe in this nonsense. I think it's because of the structure involved. You are told this is how you will behave for the next forty days. No, not forty days - for the rest of your miserable lives. People like rules to follow. It makes them feel that there is a purpose for us and all of this (((extends...

  If you plan on watching the FIFA games 2030, just know over a million dogs will be culled in Morocco for your viewing pleasure. Think about that. They've already surrendered to the orange man, so killing animals should not come as a surprise.  Oooh, I remember when people who were living in Cuba, for whatever reason (probably spies) were complaining of being sick. It was dubbed the Havana  Syndrome. Their complaints were dismissed, but we now know Russia has been using some weird device that makes people seriously ill. Well, this guy decided to disprove that theory. Oops. Now he suffers from brain damage. I also wonder how they have tested this device?  My shingles is healing, thankfully. The blisters on my cheek just look like freckles. After I went to the ER and was seen by a PA, she said shingles usually only happens once, but I think I'm going to get the vaccine anyway.  I sat outside late last night because it was absolutely beautiful. I only wore a swea...

  Hmm... well, I'm not sure if this tale is true. I found the link on Bluesky. It's about the Social Security Administration changing the way they discuss issues with seniors who call in, likely in some sort of financial distress. Apparently some of these people are so concerned about their future they have been thinking about ending their lives, to which the SSA agent is supposed to say, "Well, there may be other options." This linked article doesn't say if the agent gives them other options. I'm assuming they do. The Blueskyer who posted the link was highly offended that anyone would say suicide is an option, comparing it with the movie, 'Soylent Green,' which is about the government shuffling off old man Eddy to Buffalo to become canned food. I don't see the comparison and I don't think we're there yet. Trump would be the first to go. I wonder what he'd taste like? Okay, back to the issue. What exactly is an agent supposed to say if...

  I think five are still alive. Bush, Clinton, Obama, Biden and the demented one. We have seen the best- Obama and the rest. Sorry, Bill, you cheated and that's a deal breaker for me even if Hillary forgave you. Before the orange man came along, Bush the second was the worst president. Now he paints horrible things on canvas and thinks he can criticize the current administration. Clinton is still in denial about everything and Obama has for the most part decided to stay out of the fray regarding the orange man. He did recently talk about aliens and believes they are out there. The Magas had a field day with that, although they too believe in aliens, ghosts, Bigfoot and god. Honestly, when I wrote the first draft I completely forgot about Joe Biden. I'm not sure what that means other than life was as it should have been, sort of. I didn't wake up worrying who he had alienated. I didn't worry he was on the phone to Vladimir. But, there was a lot he could have done and dec...

  Photographer, Leila Navidi  The woman in the bathrobe . If you're not familiar with the story, let me give you the cliff notes. Sam Stroozas is a reporter based in Minnesota. When she heard a commotion outside, she didn't have time to change, so she gathered with fellow rebels in her bathrobe and slippers. If you don't live in a bubble you are aware of what Trump is trying to do in Minneapolis. He wants to intimidate and threaten anyone who disagrees with his authoritarian mindset. He underestimated the people of the Northern state. He probably assumed they were a bunch of rubes who would cower and fold. He could have gone to any other blue city to raise havoc but I believe he chose Minneapolis because he's a man who holds grudges. He wanted to show Tim Walz a little pain and remind him who won the election. He also thought it would be easy to frighten a community of Midwestern citizens- people who originated from Viking blood and live and thrive in the harsh Winters...

 Who exactly is this guy ? He looks like a Bond villain. Clearly he is in cahoots with the Bondi villain. Ba dump bump. I've seen him on occasion but have no idea what he does. He was in the news recently for using the R word to describe those who are spending time looking into the Epstein files. Here's a little bit of what he said.  Well, ya know fatso, someone in your klan was responsible for redacting names. So let's say six out of 500 names mentioned were innocent. Frankly, I find that hard to believe that anyone associated with the pedo was innocent but perhaps it was a plumber who was working on the clogged sinks. Why he'd be in the files, who knows, but there he is. They were in the files. We see them. Why don't you talk about the men who raped children? Why so silent about them?  But, let's take a closer look at you, blubber butt. Anyone tell you that you resemble a weeble?  What's this!? Your parents are immigrants!?  What's this!? You have no c...

  Did you ever notice in Hollywood when there is a dynasty of actors, a family where there is one gorgeous or handsome person and the other one- well, not so much. I shouldn't name names, but I will. Look at Jeff Bridges. Look at him! Aaah, he was dreamy when he was a young buck. That hair, those dimples... And then there's Floyd or Boyd, no, it's Beau. Dennis Quad vs. Randy. Natalie Wood and sister, Lana. The list is so long and it's weird. How did one offspring have this beautiful face and the other was a squiggly version of the beautiful face? I'm bringing this up because I was just listening to the Daily Beast podcast with Michael Wolff as he talked about his lawsuit against Melania. He mentions the first lady lives in the Trump Tower in New York. She has her own apartment, apart from the King Tut museum the orange man likes. Wolff suggests Barron probably has his own apartment. But then he mentioned that Melania has a sister and she too lives in the Trump Tower...

  There's a word that's been used as a deragatory term for a woman who is worse than dirt. I don't have an issue with four letter words and it may surprise you, I don't normally use them in everyday language. I save them all up for this blog. Except for that one word that makes me cringe because I never really felt anyone deserved it- until now. Pam Bondi - You're a cunt. You are the most vile creature who walked the earth and considering who you are protecting, that's quite the honor. I don't think I've hated anyone as much as you. I will never get the image of her grinning as victims stood up after they were asked if anyone from the DOJ ever spoke with them. She didn't even had the decency to look at them. How she can protect Trump and other powerful men who raped children is beyond abhorrent. She is the attorney general who swore an oath to follow the Constitution. We all know who she bows to. Unfortunately, we're not surprised when we hear in...

  Did you ever read a news story that was such a non-story you had a head scratching moment? I saw one the other day about a man who relied on oxygen tanks to breathe. He had run out but couldn't use his landline phone because the snow storm had shut down power! Oh, no, what could they do!? Thank God five people in the house had a cell phone! So- he was never in any danger. What the hell was that about? My Dad in his elderly years relied on a Darth Vader breathing machine. Not a shock since he smoked unfiltered Camels since he was fifteen. But what I found interesting is when the electricity went out in the 'hood, Dad's electricity stayed on. No, he didn't have a generator. Somehow the electric company could keep power going while everyone else's groceries on the block rotted in the fridge. I still don't know how that worked.  Are you celebrating Galentine's Day, Saturday? It's for women or men or anyone who doesn't have a date for the scam day. Back...

  This is Black History month and I want to write about this woman because one, she's a woman, and whatever color we are, we all have had to deal with womanly issues. Warning to the squeamish: I'm going to write about woman things, like what it's like to deal with the monthlies. Fortunately, I no longer get the visit, but when I did, it was a terrible experience. Back in the day we didn't have stick on period pads. You needed a device to hold that pad in place. And then you needed another device to hook up your nylons, and over that you wore a girdle along with the brassiere. Eight to ten hour days were miserable. It's why woman can tolerate pain better than a male.  Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner tried to make life a little easier for women by inventing a sturdier form of the sanitary belt- one that was more comfortable, if that was possible, and one that stayed in place. I won't post an image of the invention because it looks like a Rube Goldberg idea, but jus...

  I'm not sure why I feel tired and worn down today. I'm sure millions of Americans do after partying to the Superbowl. I didn't party. My biggest activity was getting on my stationary bike. But, I digress. I want to talk about the news. My choices to where I can go has been getting narrower due to paywalls. I have been relying on Bluesky for third party news. I realize that's dangerous because not every blueskyer has good intentions, or, they just believe everything they see, like those who are glued to Fox News and post it. The one news source I paid to read was The Guardian. I write, "was," because they sold out. For a very long time they relied on the people to keep them financially stable. Their motto was something like, "We can't be bought! We will stay unbiased until we rot!" Unfortunately, the mold and mildew set in. They capitulated. Bigly. I couldn't read a story with being inundated with flashing ads in my face and there is a disti...

  Not really. I had the Olympics on my telly mostly for background noise. As Ferrerman noted, curling was in progress. What a silly sport. I did watch some kids fly down a mountain and there was some team figure skating. I don't like that. Stop that. My background noise was interrupted with football garbage, pre- football stuff. It's noon and the game isn't for hours. Oh well, back to Bones. The good news, what I really wanted to discuss was the cancellation of the MAGA concert. No one wanted to be a part of it, so kudos, I think. Trump must be shitting in his pants. Not for any reason. He just shits in his pants now, but he's gotta feel some heat. His nasty behavior is backfiring. I asked the question on Bluesky, who had to go tell the orange man that portraying the Obamas as apes was not a good idea? You can put money on the belief that those who wanted an anti- Bunny shinedown also found Trump's disgusting meme amusing.  It's good to see people backing off al...

 What's wrong with people? Seriously, how do they become so filled with toxic rage? People (I use the term loosely) are enraged because Savannah Guthrie's mother is taking up airtime. The basic thought is, "Oh, this rich, white lady gets airtime when thousands of people go missing every day!" Some are not as kind with a description. Yes, thousands go missing every single day. Over 99% are found safe. This is not case of a runaway, a walkaway, a parent taking a child for custody issues. This is a woman who was allegedly violently removed from her home. I'm not a fan of Savannah or the show she's on. It's too right wing for me and she's extremely religious, so, not my interest. But, there are millions of people who do follow her and find her to be a kind person. It's obvious she had a close relationship with her mother and so what if this woman had a good life. How fucking dare you despise her for that!? She has done nothing wrong. She has raised a f...

  Back in the day, before the Internet, if you wanted an answer to a question, you either asked your parents, which in my case, crickets chirped, or, you looked it up in your Encyclopedia Britannica. Every home had a set. I'm sure it was mandatory. I seem to recall we could only afford up to the N's. Anything after that, I'm clueless regarding M to Z. But now we have a search engine(s) I used Google this week for serious questions, such as... What happened to Will Smith?  Remember him, the fresh prince of Bel-Air and a man on top of the world, until he slapped Chris Rock for dissing his wife about her alopecia? He has been banned for ten years from attending any Oscar award ceremony and future movie roles dried up quicker than a hair dryer on a bald head. He's still around but is no longer on top of the world. Who's the other guy from, 'Flight of the Conchords ?' I just saw Jemaine Clement the other day, still working in the biz. I loved that show, The Conch...

  It's not a new marketing ploy - how many times have businesses tried to entice you with money, big money? Get $500 in groceries if you join right now! I've been almost taken in with Temu's games which claim to give you money back! It's amazing! Until you read the teeny tiny fine print. For the next $5,000 you spend we'll chip off a few cents. Gotta be quick! This offer is subject to government intervention.  Aww, those poor ICE hirees, all thinking they were going to get a big bundle of $50,000 if they join the brown shirt club.  Picture it... Podunk, USA.... "Lookie here, Mavis, says I'll get $50,000 just for gettin' picked to round up them border hoppers. That's a win-win in my book. Hey, once I get that money, Imma quit right there and we can build our double wide back behind your Mama's pot garden. I won't have to work for ten, twenty years!" Unfortunately, that's now how it works and men in masked cosplay outfits are starting...

  I was going to start this post by apologizing for  writing so much about politics, but then I said to myself, "Self, this is what interests you. Stop bowing to pressure to write about kittens and baking bread and budgeting the month. This shit is important." Yes, it is. It truly boggles my mind when I see people completely turned off by what is an absolutely imperative function in our lives. Y'all have clean water, decent roads, firefighters and no mice poo in your cornflakes because of policies written by politicians. So, go fucking knit a blanket and discuss three sticks of butter instead of two, if laws that impact your life are so bothersome.  So. I'm gonna discuss Melania once again. She's not a politician but she knows a few. I'm still shaking my head when I see the news media proclaim her documentary as a great success. It's all relative, my dears. But, I wanted to know who the movie goers were who spent $7 million dollars to watch the first lady ...

  "No, I never knew him." "Yes, I vaguely knew him." "We chatted occasionally, mostly business. But, I never went to the Island." "Yes, we talked about women, not girls. I had no idea about his life." "I'm ashamed how I spoke about women, but it was just immature banter. I didn't know anything." The line in the sand continues to be pushed back after more emails and images are revealed. From never knowing Jeffrey Epstein to hundreds upon hundreds of emails passed between him and a host of powerful men and women. When did Epstein ever get anything done considering he was emailing people nonstop? They all wanted something from him. Money, advice, drugs and girls. Even after he served time they ran back to him so this defense that they had no idea that he was in the business of sex trafficking is ridiculous. It absolutely shocks me to see the amount of people who knew this man. Slime bag after ass kissing sycophant, praising him, mi...
