The internet is now awash with AI videos. It’s especially bad on YouTube and XTwitter and they are all garbage. AI is going to make these services unusable. AI just automates video spam.
Give books for gifts this Christmas. The recipients will be flattered you think they can read.
Good morning. On tea now the rest is done.
Putin is wearing camouflage uniform on camera. He did this while threatening Europe and he wants to look more scary. This tells me he’s also feeling pressured inside Russia. It’s not a sign of strength.

Our profits are important to us so thank you for being a compliant consumer.
I hate it when a signup confirmation email takes hours to arrive, or maybe it will never arrive. Who knows? (And yes I checked the spam folder.) This is why I’m becoming a Luddite.
Good morning. Breakfast done, now on tea.
I’ll talk about procrastination later.
What Christmas needs is a good murder mystery, or maybe ray-guns.
The alleged “War on Christmas” started when we took H. P. Lovecraft out of the holiday. We need more Lovecraft for Christmas. Just saying.
I’m having an internal debate about supper tonight: spaghetti or soup and a hard salami sandwich. There are just no easy choices in life.
Good morning. Affordable coffee done. Affordable breakfast done. Drinking affordable tea. If everything is so affordable how come it all costs so much?
Peeve of the Day: Smartphones should have an audio plug so you can use cheap wired earbuds.
Good morning. Coffee done, 1st breakfast was pancakes. Life is good.
I really don’t like keyless cars. Yes it is convenient at times but I’d rather have a physical key that did not rely on a battery.
The news is, Trump may pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of drug smuggling in a US Court. Does anyone else find it strange that he’s doing this while blowing up fishing boats and crews because they are allegedly smuggling drugs to the US?
Seems very dodgy to me.
Good morning. Having tea now. The rest is done. Snow expected all day today. My Big Plan, is to stay indoors while doom scrolling and let the snow do snow things without me.
Bookish news: Twelve Months (Dresden Files Book 18) by Jim Butcher is due out on Jan. 20 2026. I pre-ordered.
The forecast of 7 inches of snow for tomorrow made me get some last minute groceries in before the weather hits. Long ago when I was in my teens, going out in the snow was an adventure. Now I’m old and would rather stay in and skip any excitement.
Reminder: Today is Frozen Pizza Friday.
Good morning. Coffee and breakfast done, now on tea.
Black Friday will probably be legally made into a national holiday soon because we are a nation of consumers not citizens.
Cauliflower is straight out of H. P. Lovecraft.
Trump is a fink.
Ukraine is getting shafted.
Good morning. Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate.
Trump’s Tacky Ballroom might be bigger than the White House itself - much bigger. Massive. Totally out of scale.
Also, the Sham-wow guy is running for Congress.
This is where we are at.
Chaos reigns. Nobody knows what the hell is going on anymore. This is exactly what Trump and the oligarchs want: so much noise, so much conflicting information, that everybody just quits paying attention so they can loot whatever they want and nobody will stop them.
Good morning. Coffee done. Weather is going to crap for the next few days.
We should bring back bench seats in cars. Also leg room and head room.
I know nothing about Joe Rogan or what he stands for, but on this issue I think he’s right.
Read this whole thread. It reminds us what is important.
Two volunteers pulled off a heroic frontline rescue in eastern Ukraine.
They walked five hours under constant Russian fire to evacuate 13-year-old Lyuba.
Okay, we hate to have to do this but, we are asking for volunteers to visit Ohio for Thanksgiving.
At least 2 years of post high school education is needed for everybody so they can operate the digital dashboard of their car.
Good morning. Coffee done. I think a Mexican breakfast would be good.
I want a ray-gun. One that looks like it came off a 1950’s pulp scifi magazine cover. Make it so.
Trump’s treatment of Ukraine is shameful. And why does Trump play kissy-face with Putin? It keeps bringing me back to thinking Russia has some hold on Trump. I can’t get around that.
Are we drifting into war with Venezuela? There is absolutely no reason for the US to start a war with that country other than Trump’s ego. If we end up in a war with Venezuela it will be Trump’s Ego War, but it could also mean a major MAGA breakup with Trump. Also wars cost money, who’s gonna pay?
