I had been thinking about getting a separate profile page from some service to knit together my far flung Internet empire, and then I remembered I have Micro.blog Premium Plan which lets me make stand alone static web pages. It should be easy to to make myself a profile page. Muhahahah.
While I have lots of complaints about WordPress, but the WP commenting system is still the best.
Breaking Florida News Flash: Beware, hazard, Iguanas falling from trees Alien conspiracy blamed.
Today is Frozen Pizza Friday again. One must try to adhere to a routine, because it’s the only civilized thing to do.
Meanwhile in D.C.: Trump has put Musk in charge of Darkness and Robert Kennedy in charge of reality.
”…ends of lanes where magic lives.”
Gosh, I like that. I like the whole thing.
I just ran across this: Multiverse which appears to be a micro blogging network (eg. Twitter, Mastodon, etc.) Members appear to be able to post more than just text, so you have greater freedom of expression. That seems to be what makes it different. I have not joined so there may be more.
Egg prices have gone up sharply instead of down. Surprise, surprise.
I miss Pangaea. The High Street stores were better there.
Vivaldi browser 7.1 is out. And it introduces a cool weather widget you can put on your dashboard. It’s a small thing but very handy.
One reason Trump and the Fascists are in power is because you can always count on the Left to fragment, and fight each other rather than uniting for a common cause. Big things, small things, it happens every time.
My local weekly newspaper just quit publishing. Last week they printed a notice that they were for sale, this week they announced they were quitting due to lack of advertising. Well that is the end of that.
Did Trump’s wife ever smile even once during the inauguration? She did not look happy. I didn’t watch so I’m only seeing still photos.
I got two restaurant cravings developing at the same time: 1. Long John Silver’s and 2. White Castle. Both of which require a little driving to get to because the nearest stores closed down. And so it goes.
Oatmeal. Think pleasant oatmeal thoughts. Oatmeal calm. Oatmeal, perhaps with canned peaches. Soothing. Oatmeal.
Gulf of Narcotics
Is it too soon to be talking about unfrosted Pop-Tarts being superior to frosted?
Dang it’s cold. -4 degrees F (-20 degrees C) right now. The high today will be 3 degrees F (16 degrees C). I think I have found my excuse to stay inside today and drink hot drinks.
Been weeding out dead wood (websites that have gone 404 or worse) over at my directory. It’s a mind numbing task which is much needed on a day like today.
A friend asked recently, how I made my coffee. I’ve blogged on this before, and the process has hardly changed except I now use a Melitta plastic pour cone that sits on top of a cup, plus Melitta #2 natural filters. (The stainless pour over cone kept clogging.)
Coffee is a requirement for this day. Coffee, hot, strong, black. I shall double my normal amount.
Current Mood: Doom.
All said, I miss analog television. You could buy a $90US, 12 inch B/W TV at the drug store of all places, take it home, plug it in, extend the rabbit ear antenna and watch some goddamn TV. No subscriptions to 28 different streaming services, no cable, it was simple and it just worked.
I think everybody is ordering groceries via Instacart today before the weather turns bad, because Instacart shows more delay than I’ve ever seen.
So Monday, Inauguration Day, is when trickle-down economics will suddenly start working and we’ll, “live off the fat of the land?” Right? All I see are mega corporations and oligarchs shouldering each other at the hog trough, but maybe we’ll get a little of the spillage.
