Good morning. Nearing breakfast. Joy.
Meanwhile:
Comcast Internet went down. Then came back.
Later, Linux had updates. So start downloading those. Failed.
Restart, Linux updates. This time success!
Sticking with Linux, cos OS makers Apple and MS will probably bankrupt themselves on AI.
Good morning. On coffee, breakfast soon.
Trump wants to invade Nigeria and fight a guerrilla war there. Remember Vietnam, that didn’t go so well. US has mostly stayed out of Africa, we are not a former colonial power there - not our fight. What’s wrong with Trump? He’s gone crazy.
It appears that Mad Magazine is still being published and that feels good to me.
Good morning. Coffee, time change all before breakfast. I might have to have an extra nap.
Headlines: Trump wants to send US troops to Nigeria to fight. Massive shortage of air traffic controllers who are forced to work without pay during gov’t shutdown. Flight delays grow.
No Epstein Files.
I’m not going to put MorningStar veggie burgers on brioche buns.
Happy TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) Day everybody! I’m not sure what TVP is made of but I’m thinking soy. Anyway, get used to it because soon you won’t be able to afford beef.
Big in the news headlines: the Lincoln Bathroom. Trump remodeled it all in white marble and gold trim. It has a gold trimmed butt washer so there’s that.
How come we are only finding this out after the fact?
Also, no Epstein Files.
Good morning. Still on coffee.
All my Halloween trick or treaters last night were generated by AI. I gave them virtual candy. We are at a cultural apex.
Texas is suing Tylenol. Because stupid goes all the way to the bone.
Good morning. Coffee done breakfast will be something with eggs but other details are fuzzy.
TACO Trump chickened out after painting himself into a corner. China bought just enough soybeans to let Trump save face but not enough to really help US farmers.
We will never get the $40 Billion Trump is giving to Argentina back.
Good morning. Coffee done, time for 1st breakfast.
Little kids all in cute Halloween costumes outside getting ready for a kiddie Halloween parade down a quiet residential block. Right then, ICE decides to raid THAT block. Tear gas grenades thrown cos, lil kids are scary to armed men.
I’m watching short vids of Ukraine drones blowing up Russian vehicles and looking at all the improvised drone-screens, netting, old tires and cages that have been added to the vehicles and thinking they all look like something out of Mad-Max on LSD. All because of drones. Drones changed everything.
If all else fails, Trump’s Tacky Ballroom ™ can be converted into a cube farm for office space. Future presidents will find that huge ballroom floor could hold a lot of little cubicles for minor functionaries.

Good morning. Coffee as usual. Wanting breakfast.
I keep seeing headlines that Japan might buy our humongous full sized pickup trucks. These trucks are way too big for Japanese streets and cities. It’s a no go. Also, steering wheel is on wrong side. Makes no sense.
Good morning. I’m on tea now.
Trump wants to build a triumphal arch monument to himself. Personally I think it will contain a McDonald’s with drive up windows.
Good morning. Coffee done. It’s 33 degrees F outside.
I predict we will start seeing more product placement among inflatable costumes at the anti-ICE occupation demos (ie. [insert brand] ketchup bottles, hot dogs, pork products, etc.) This is the US, we turn everything into a commercial flow.
Cars: Modern Cars Are Missing What the VW Beetle Perfected!, this YT video brings up a lot of good points about car design.
Older small cars had a lot more room despite their small size. Somehow we lost that.
Good morning. I just finished my coffee.
Will Trump tear down rest of White House for a parking garage for his ballroom?
Other: soybeans, Argentinian beef, food prices, ICE storm troopers, gov’t shutdown, Trump Pardons Inc., Tech Bros, Crypto Bros, Epstein Files, Scribes and Pharisees.
The problem with making a grocery list is, I think of some item to add to the list but when I get ready to write it down I’ve forgotten it.
Given the players, I’m pretty sure something fishy is going on.
Good morning. Coffee over. Pancakes, I think for 1st breakfast. There, sorted.
Dunno, pics of Tacky Trump Ballroom ™ show it being bigger than the White House if they are to scale. Oh well, later President’s can always use it for storage, like a huge shed or garage.
Make Argentina Great Again.
Argentina, Venezuela, Gaza, Ukraine War: notice how Trump is spending so much time on foreign policy. Now notice how he’s spending zero time on real practical domestic policy. I thought he was an America First dude? Foreign policy is flashy and distracts people from the stuff he’s screwed up.
