Today’s Quote: Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid...AI ate my homework, then lied about it. Blamed the dog.

That said, Congress, both Republicans and Dem’s seem to live in a totally separate reality from the rest of the country.
The only thing I use the Amazon Alexa can thingy for is to listen to the news on a “Flash Briefing”. (NPR, BBC, DW, and various others.) So NPR has been stuck repeating the same news summary for 5 days. This happens once in awhile but it’s annoying. I’ll out wait it.

Good morning. Coffee done. 1st breakfast done.
Gavin Newsom is positioning himself for a run for president by establishing himself as somebody who stood up to Trump rather than kiss up. So some of his positioning is theater. Still he’s no friend of Trump, so points to him.

Good morning. Coffee done, on tea now. Breakfast was corned beef hash and eggs. Corned beef now comes in smaller 14 oz. cans. Enshitification continues.
The media is part of the problem with the LA demonstrations. They purposefully make it look worse than it is. Drama sells.

I like smooth shiny girls, hardboiled and loaded with sin.

sigh I’ve never been remotely hip, mod or cool in my life, except for that brief moment when I bought a lava lamp.
Good morning. Coffee is done, on tea now.
Trump blustering and trying to provoke violence. Musk hiding. GOP lying as usual. Dems wringing their hands and being ineffectual.
Apple released some lackluster software plans. Whatever.

I still think Trump is working for the Russians. Trump administration redirects 20,000 anti-drone missiles meant for Ukraine, Zelensky confirms
I keep a couple of cookbooks in reserve. But all I ever really do these days is either heat stuff up or some simple frying. You can’t really call it cooking.
