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.

Good morning.
Our Founding Fathers didn’t anticipate that we would have a total bounder as President, a spineless Congress (both Parties) bought off by the wealthy and a corrupt Supreme Court majority all at the same time. It’s a perfect storm.
I’m sure if we could bring back saber tooth tigers, juicy politicians would be their only prey.
Good morning.
Tried to get a haircut this AM but the place was closed for remodeling. Drove around looking for another haircutting joint with no luck. Went to ACE Hardware and bought caulk and weedkiller so the trip and expensive gasoline burn, wasn’t completely wasted.
Sigh.
Many HOA’s are amending their rules to allow giant fighting cages.
Random: We need more nursery rhymes about how good trickle down economics is for us.
Good morning.
So, remind me again why nothing is happening, no prosecutions, on the Epstein Files.
Listen: Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising (Official Lyric Video)
There is too much talk of war going around. Not good. It’s not just Trump the Feeble, it’s also Putin and Xi and others as well. We’re drifting towards war(s). The CCR song Bad Moon Rising got me thinking of this.
Good morning.
Somebody on social media pointed out that 2 years ago we were worried about electric vehicle adoption overwhelming the power grid. Now, there’s the big rush to AI data centers that eat energy and barely a mention of the power grid. Same old grid doing both EV’s and data centers?
Alert. We have gone to DefCon 3. Alert. I could not find Aldi’s ground dark French Roast coffee ANYWHERE on Instacart. I normally stock up. My fav. coffee. One by one Aldi drops my favorite items and my reasons to bother shopping there.
Rumor: ICE is requiring social networks (eg. Meta, X, Bsky) to give them a list of anybody who has ever been critical of ICE on their networks.
Good morning.
There is nothing subtle about Trump’s vindictive punishments of anybody who has opposed him.
OTOH Stephan Colbert has quietly set up a new official YouTube channel, which already has 256K subscribers as of now. He’s not been promoting it but you might want to subscribe.
Good morning. Coffee Mmmm.
Notice how the reason for Trump’s Ballroom has changed: it started out as a ballroom for Trump to sleep through swanky parties but is now justified as a bunker below ground for Trump to hide in and be safe.
Your tax money at work.
Good morning.
Headlines: Trump says no need to worry about anything with Iran, it’s all going Trumpy-Dory. Trust him.
Were you expecting Epstein Files?
Good morning.
Trump wants to build a massive triumphal arch, using taxpayers money. What is not clear are what “triumphs” said arch is commemorating. Surely, not anything Trump has done because all his schemes have gone wrong and ended badly so far. Just wondering.
Good morning.
For now, I’m convinced humans do snark better than AI.
I know plastic is evil, but I don’t miss ketchup in glass bottles.
IYKYK
Good morning.
What is it with seeds in bread these days? I’m gonna start chirping like a bird soon.
I’m trying organic bread, despite the cost, because less chemicals. Stay tuned.
Trump is a fink.
