Watched a couple of clips of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on YouTube and they got me wanting to watch the full series again. BTVS was a really well done TV series and I miss it.
Good morning.
On social media: Conspiracy theories about Antifa sabotaging Reflecting Pool with algae kits, National Guard called in to keep people from touching the water, all the new paint pealing and Trump trying to redirect blame anywhere but at himself. Typical.
Humans should drink less water so there is enough for AI data centers.
Tomorrow is Friday. If you place bets on the prediction markets, you can be pretty sure I will eat pizza for supper tomorrow.
I know this is a hot topic on the internets.
Within reason, I don’t mind advertisments on webpages. What I do mind is the tracking from ad networks, that and popups of any kind.
After launching a stupid failed war against Iran, then negotiating a stupid failed “peace agreement”, notice how Trump sends JD Vance out to try and explain and defend it. Trump washes his hands and runs and hides, while leaving Vance to take the heat. Trump knows it stinks.
Sounds like Iran won.
Algae - 1
Trump - 0
Good morning.
I like Banned Book Library, or rather I like the idea of dead drops for banned books, even though I know nothing about the tech.
During the Great Power Outage here, I went to Burger King and got a recently new and improved Double Whopper w/ Cheese and it was surprisingly good. For years BK had let the flagship Whopper drift and become Meh. I will try it again to see if this was just a fluke.
Good morning.
“Peace in our time.” Yessir, we got a peace understanding thingy going with Iran, if Israel does not continue to undermine it. So oil will be flowing Real Soon Now, which sorta releaves pressure on Orange Donnie. Nothing to see here, nothing to worry about.
Read: Lakeshore Public Media to simulcast WBAA News beginning July 6
This means the end of local NPR in NW Indiana, at least for now. WBAA radio serves Greater Lafayette, Indiana which is not part of NW Indiana. It’s very very sad but it is better than the station just going dead.
Big storm Thursday night. No power for 36 hrs but finally back. Cable internet still out. Bigger worry is the food in the refrigerator if its gone bad. Feh.
Stories that never happened are now all the rage on XTwitter.
Good morning.
Elon Musk’s DOGE henchmen eliminated the staff and programs to monitor and prevent screw worm. Now we have screw worm outbreak.
The cattle industry should sue Musk personally.
Meanwhile, we have only Trump to deal with this new screw worm plague. Think about that. Doom.
The electricity used by AI data centers is nothing compared to the power used by all the sump pumps the giant Florida mansions of billionaires use trying to keep these places dry.
Good morning.
I think we need to put some major limits on how many pardons the President can give out to anybody, but especially convicted criminals. No President, of any party, should be handing out trainloads of pardons.
Watch/Listen: Sia - Chandelier (Official Video)
I’ve heard the song many times, love it, but I just saw this official video for the 1st time today and the dancing is just astounding. A must watch if you have not seen it.
Leftovers tonight. Specifically, leftover curried chicken from the local Chinese restaurant, with something, tbd, added to it to stretch it out.
Eggplant Casserole. There it needed to be said.
Still at war with Iran, Strait of Hormuz still closed. No oil. Gas prices at peak. Neighbors starting to dress in Mad Max clothes.
Good morning.
Headlines: Texas says Trump dropped the ball on screwworm outbreak and it will (yet again) raise beef prices. You know it’s bad when Texas blames or says anything critical about Trump.
Forget buying beef, eat Soylent Green instead.
10 out of 10 cats completely ignore AI.
Good morning.
I’m noticing how many XTwitter and YouTube posts are titled “They lied to us” or are about how science or doctors or engineers, etc were all wrong and yet this one simple thing solved the problem they could not.
Beware: when you see that we are being manipulated.
