At the risk of being politically incorrect, I prefer the Gothic arch over the Roman arch. Not that there is anything wrong with the Roman arch.
The McDonald’s arch is my least favorite.
I’m not sure Yahoo! Mail is even trying to filter spam anymore. Um, they could at least make a token effort. Gmail filters pretty good but won’t let you login until you clear cookies, provide bio-metric ID and show your official Sergey and Larry fan club card.
Someone is planning on putting a Taco Bell in my town. shrugs Frankly I’d rather have a Waffle House.
We’re having some fun now: banning words, burning books, raising prices, reducing size of goods, cutting quality, tacking on fees, telling lies, making shit up, paving everything and polluting so your kids have transparent skin.
And we are creating a new enshitification app, powered by AI, that will let you do all this from your phone for a monthly subscription fee of which Apple gets a 30% cut.
It’s true, I miss a lot of the old analog tech stuff, but I don’t miss 8-Track tapes. Just saying.
Review: Aldi BBQ Pulled Pork
Aldi has a BBQ Pulled Pork entree which comes in a refrigerated pouch also in a tray in case it bubbles over a bit in th...Seen and Heard on the Internets: Now that many websites are blocking AI bots using robots.txt, the AI companies are simply renaming their scraper bots to get around this and continue stealing content. I think we need an overhaul of robots.txt. One NOT created by Big Tech.
Does this JD Vance guy really wear eyeliner or is that something made up on the Internets?
Comcast “automated” help is worthless. Annoying and it has errors, lots of errors.
With Biden out, Trump becomes the one vulnerable as being to old to be President.
If you are running a “search engine” and you obfuscate, dodge or otherwise don’t reveal that your results are from a different engine and not your own then I consider that a Dark Pattern. Tell us straight up.
If I were launching a blogging platform today, it would have fine grained controls over who could read each post and page and have easy controls over bot access. AI scrapers are the main reason but also just too many bots. I don’t trust AI scrapers or bots to honor robots.txt anymore.
I just saw a news video of everyone at the RNC wearing ear bandages. This is a cult.
They are already selling shirts with a pic of Trump wearing his ear diaper on Amazon.

If you think if Biden steps down, that will automatically translate to support for Harris guess again.
“I’m just going to say it: If you think that there is consensus among the people who want Joe Biden to leave… that they will support Kamala, Vice President Harris, you would be mistaken,” she says. “They are interested in removing the whole ticket.”
Democrats are doing exactly what they do best: fragmenting and turning on each other just when the goal is in sight. There are a lot of hidden agendas inside the Democratic Party, the liberal wing and among the big donor elites.
I could be wrong, but I swear McDonalds dill pickle slices on their burgers are thinner than they were decades ago. This could be part of a conspiracy.
What we have is a coup d’ete against Biden from within the Democratic Party by a group of party elites.

My prediction is with climate change and rising temperatures, alligators will migrate much further north on the Mississippi River eating boaters/tourists, influencers and hopefully Asian carp.
I only heard an audio clip from Biden’s speech in Michigan but He had a good point: I voted for Biden in the primary (okay he was the only one on the primary ballot, but still) why should my vote be disregarded and the choice for the Dem. candidate be in the hands of squishy Dem. elites, pundits, talking heads, celebrities, big donors and assorted camp followers? It all smacks of seedy backroom, blue smoke and mirrors deal making in the Democratic Party.
The rank and file have a better idea of what is at stake than the elites. Get a grip Democrats and stick together. “Don’t wait for orders, march toward the sound of the guns.”
Democrats. The whole following thread is worth reading:
1/ “Here we are, hanging on for dear life, barbarians in hot pursuit, rolling ass backward through the apocalypse in a circus train full of howling mutants, and you’re like, hey, let’s shoot the engineer!
Yeah, let’s just shoot the guy driving the train. Good idea, right?
So, tell me, what’s the plan?

Wow, YouTube has become almost unusable. There is so much misleading, clickbait content, misleading thumbnails and Automatically generated content, either by AI or other means. Photographs of the wrong person, errors of fact. All this and even more ads.
Because of the 4th of July holiday, I will be eating fancier foods than normal (not a big leap). Instead of cold cereal for breakfast, I plan to have breakfast burritos smothered in refried beans. Supper is yet to be determined, stay tuned for breaking updates. No hotdogs tho.
I'm Backing Joe Biden
The debate among Democrats on retaining Joe Biden for President is one of form over substance. It was one bad debate per...I don’t understand the Democrats. I think a large part of the Democratic Party actually wants Trump to win.
