I Think I Can, I Think...

 


Before I begin this completely unrelated story, or maybe it isn't. Thank-you for your service, dead soldiers. I'm sort of glad you're not here to see this. You fought bravely and honorably. Rest in peace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, I've noticed these adorable little robots out on the street and feel sad. Sad because they'll never be able to exist in this country. Sometimes, I watch YouTube videos of a dude who just walks around Japan. It's quite beautiful and relaxing. As we walk together I notice people leave out little Buddhas or trinkets in gardens where there are shrines. Sometimes we walk past little shops where beautiful pottery and gorgeous lanterns decorate the storefront. The only thing I think, after I think, "So cute," is, "That would be gone in five seconds, here." Here, being the US. We really can't have nice things because people take them. There was a local story in the news about a nursery who leaves blooming plants and flowers out and live by the honor code. Stick some money in the cash box, please. I've seen these many of times here in Wisconsin, mostly farmers selling produce. In the story about the plant heist, there is also an image provided showing three people stealing hundreds of dollars worth of plants. They aren't kids. Two are over sixty. 

There was a story years ago about a robot who traveled Canada unmolested, then came to America and was assaulted within an hour. 

When did it become okay to take what isn't ours? How does one sleep?

So, I feel for you, little robot. Your journey is rife with danger and the odds are against you. In America, anyway. Some people will applaud the destruction of little robot, arguing it takes away jobs from humans. It does. Do you know how dangerous delivering pizza can be? But, unless little robot can carry a gun or can protect itself with an invisible shield of twenty milliamps, then I don't see how this idea would work. I can visualize a line of dead people as happy little robot carries on its duty.

Kind of sad. They're so cute and bring happiness, like chocolate. But, not here, my dudes, not here.

She's Still Dead

   Ashli Babbitt was a traitor to this country. They can have all the ceremonial shenanigans the military likes to present as the deceased has been offered full military honors (We all know who requested that) it still won't negate the fact that she and thugs like her stormed a government building to do harm to others. They shit in the hallways. They carried confederate flags. They brought zip ties, bats and rage. The current regime can sugar coat it all they want but one day the orange man will be manure for his golf course grass and we can go back to truth being important. She deserved to be shot. More of them should have been shot that day. Every police officer should have followed the example of the police officer who did his job that day. These deplorables remind me of the fictional character, Ignatius J. Reilly, a lazy, selfish narcissist who decided to gather the factory employees in protest of some useless, archaic self indulgent mischief. He brought from home his soil...

The Best Books Of All Time?

Image
  😬 I consider myself an avid reader. Having noted that, there are very few books I have read from The Guardian's best 100 books of all time. My list is less than a dozen, even counting a few I started and never finished. 174 prominent writers participated in creating brain food for your pleasure. They each contributed ten of their favorite reads and someone somewhere somehow tabulated the favorites. Without further ado, the number one book of all time is ...... Middlemarch. The fucking hell it is. Lol. Like art, what you like is subjective. Some people believe Manga is good stuff. Others prefer historical novels, blah, blah, blah. I suppose the list is supposed to be taken more seriously because actual writers who make a living writing books have listed what they deemed the best read. I'm not a writer. I suppose like a musician who reads notes, understands the structure, the form, the timbre, they can recognize the whole. I just want a book that will entertain me and not try...

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

Image
  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...
