  Leonard Hofstadter: "Sheldon, say you're sorry." Sheldon Cooper: "I'm sorry." Leonard: "That's better." Sheldon: "I'm sorry you're so stupid." I have this conversation in my head quite often when I see stories where people do really stupid things. I think in some of these cases we are supposed to sympathize with them, such as when people get medical advice from a bot. People have died because they will take the advice of an AI entity rather than seeing a human doctor. If a chatbot tells you it's ok to take fourteen aspirin, most people, I hope, would stop and think, "Yeah, that doesn't sound right. Maybe I should get a second opinion." I don't have any issues with people going online to get legal or medical advice. It's when the advice is in your face ridiculous, yet you still proceed to take it, with sometimes rather unfortunate results, that  makes me angry. I was having a chin wag regarding this ...

  I hope this lie puts the final nail on Brand's cell door. Not one human thinks this, especially a person whose appetite for sex is off the charts. By his own past words where he got cocky and thought he was sharing sage advice on how to get a woman to submit, he confesses to pretending he's gay in order to gain the trust of his victims.  Naturally as Brand is being questioned by both sides, he has selective memory.  So, it's all whether the jury is willing to believe he was just a randy young man who treated women with the utmost respect, considerate of their needs, even though he was just doing what boys do (((wink wink)))  If they really listen to him as he describes himself as a very respectful, yet horny male, it's time to put him away for a very long time.

  Sooooo, what's happening here? I haven't heard much through the grapevine about this new ninety day stockpile the military is implementing. Sure, the military certainly must be prepared, as well as the civilians, but this is different. If life was normal I'd think nothing of this recent development where the army will rely strictly on whatever they have in their stockpile, plus all electrical components will be allegedly shut off. We are not living in normal times. Trump poked a bear and that bear might just try to wipe us out. Putin also might be behind this. He's getting sick of his little brother tagging along, asking to go out and play with him. There are any number of reasons these orders have been given. From ridiculous to terrifying - we don't know! Is Hegseth still playing war games, or do they really know something and they're not gonna share with the rest of us?  Considering how pretty quiet the orange man has been regarding the upcoming mid terms, I...

  Yesterday was the start of the third week and near end to the prosecution's side of the Russell Brand trial. A former assistant who worked for Brand for about a year described some of her interactions with Brand and how he treated women. She claims she never saw him assault a woman but his behavior towards them was enough for her to realize she needed to leave. She was frightened, not for her own personal safety, but a fear within that she would start to normalize his behavior as others around him had done. She goes on to reveal two male aides witnessed one assault by Brand and laughed as they watched. She said Brand thought of sex constantly. When he wasn't working, he was hunting for prey. He could be a complete charmer and many women were enticed by him, but if a woman wasn't interested, he would shut down. The former assistant recalls the transformation was terrifying to witness. It was "normal" for Brand to walk around in just a robe and underwear, even whe...

  This is beyond disturbing. As one Finnish woman exclaimed, it's something America does, not Finland. A subsidiary of Google, Tuike Finland Oy, cut down over 250,000 trees in order to build a data center. They were not given permission and as the citizen correctly surmised it's an American tactic. Shoot, then ask questions later, or, destroy, and just pay a fine. The absolute gall of Google is so sickening I don't have the words to describe my anger, my grief, when I see the destruction they have created. The environmental impact is devastating. The wolves who once lived in that forest are now entering the villages to find food.  The company has been ordered to stop, but the damage has been done. The head of the company pleads ignorance, claiming they thought they had permission to continue when they clearly knew the research into the environmental impact was still under review.  It makes me sick in so many ways. The woman was spot on. This is what American businesses d...

  Marissa Mayer , some fancy pants business woman is in hot water. She was asked by her daughter's teacher to come up with three adjectives that describe her ten year old daughter. She had to ask a bot to come up with what was described as, "bullet points."  I remember when my daughter was ten. It's usually the very last year they love you unconditionally. They haven't noticed your flaws yet and you are their life. Ten is a good age. My daughter was creative, observant and sassy. There, that was so easy and I didn't have to ask a machine to come up with something, even though my girl hasn't been ten years old in a very long time.  Martha Stewart recently scolded us and told us we need to get it through our thick skulls that you cannot balance family and business. Stewart is a workaholic. She admits her family suffered for it, especially her daughter. It's hard trying to have a career and be the parent your kids would like. That doesn't excuse Mayer...

  I'm looking forward to November 4th when I don't see anymore political ads. The one above is new to me  Let's discuss.... First off- Michael is not normal. College kids like tailgates. No one else should ever be doing a tailgate. (This ad was targeted towards college males) They didn't mention anything about frat parties where you text your bros to see if, "the shop still open?" But, Michael, those boys have it made. You are nowhere in their league. I'm guessing they don't vote either and they don't have to because they're living the life, while you are cooking overpriced burgers on a grill in a parking lot.  Michael hates politics. Well, that's a ringing endorsement. And it is truly the MAGA mentality because they know absolutely nothing about anything. If they did, they would realize they're being used and those in power right at this moment don't give a shit about you.  Record high inflation. How is inflation the Dems fault? Co...
