That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
At this point, it is impossible for Trump voters to deny the truth. So, maybe, the voter themselves, if they still support what is going on, are, themselves, evil.
Maybe that is the deal being struck in Alaska - whether Putin will take in native Alaskans deported from the US by ICE as undocumented. Then, maybe, T will find a reservoir for the rest of the Native-Americans. Who knows, maybe there's oil, coal, or…
It will all be OK, just need a little substitution of mowed grass for canned beans, raincoat+plastic-boots+used-bicycle for new cars and alligator dorms for apartments.
I recently tossed a old MSN dialup bill that somehow made it, all alone, without friends, across from the MD Chesapeake coast to the Pacific coast. When I saw it I took a deep breath and laughed. It was in Monday's recycle and so molecules of it mig…
“The chats shed light on an emerging phenomenon, dubbed AI psychosis or AI delusion by doctors and victims’ advocates, in which users come under the influence of delusional or false statements by chatbots that claim
to be supernatural or sentient or…
"like we live in a 3rd world country".
We're coming closer and closer each and every day. I despair of living long enough to see this repaired.
Yessir. The line forms at the right. I'm rubbing elbows with you.
Ditto. It is beginning to gripe me f…
Do I have to give it back if they don't like me running around in an unmarked black van with a lace face mask jumping out and spreading love to workers?
They have found a way to commit mass murder as well as gang violence without any recourse open to the American citizens. Their method even has a new feature. It is completely arbitrary in delivery, whether the result of a pandemic or, simply, someon…
The way I understand it, the fired labor stat chief would show up as one less job in the BLS report but not the ADP report. Then, when she gets a private sector job, the ADP would show one added private employee. (Or, if not a new opening, no effect…
I have quit depending on the Constitutional or legal when the SCOTUS can just decide particular presidential actions are not subject to judicial review even if 100% of other Constitutional scholars and legal experts disagree.
As long as I hold ultimate power, how many ways can I think of to balance money flows so that they transfer other-people's-money into my money? Which of these ways can I sell as a "good thing" for other-people long enough to implement with no going …
Rebranding is not an unusual political stragegy in today's world. Political because it rarely has economic benefits and often doesn't even have economic deficits. You making a new movie? Let's negotiate. I'll give you a few other-people's dollars an…
I just remind myself that I am probably too unimportant compared to many, many people to be noticed just by chance. Some like me will be unlucky and come to notice but the probablility is that it won't be me. (I still worry and wish there was zero c…
My local energy company has a competition between neighbors to cut their energy usage. They send customers their personal result as compared with their neighborhood. Why are we asking grandmas to cut heating their homes while building data centers t…
I guess, in today's world, if a gang of right stuff men decided to pick up an immigrant virgin and rape her, it would be ok especially if they impregnated her with some of that more worthy blood.
Relax everyone. They just aren't finished enhancing the files. The redacted and altered files are almost ready for release. Just a few original copies to shred.
OK, so partisanship is the name of the game for life appointments BUT why do they have to select the most intellectually inadequate partisan they can find? Inflicting the future generations to a lifetime of lazy minded leadership, without recourse, …
Thanks @lynnbolin2021. If you blow up to a 10 yr period, then scan across the dates, you will notice that, with the exception of COVID, there is a spike in April of every year. I wonder why. ;) I get a spike in my yearly cash flow in December sinc…
