It’s been years ago, since I used Google News app and Apple News app. Both were good but I quit Apple and I won’t use Google apps because of spyware.
Instead of those two I use my phone’s web browser with Yahoo News bookmarked. Yahoo News is pretty darn good and no app to download. Recently I’ve also used AOL News which is pretty darn good and complete. There is a lot of overlap between Yahoo and AOL because both are Verizon companies, but the news sites are arranged and displayed differently so it comes down to personal preference. I recommend them both.
There is also MSN News web page, but I no longer recommend it. The page starts nagging you to download the MSN app and limits your access to content.
One lesson here is always try out the mobile web page first before downloading an app. Companies want you to download the app so they can spy on you for data-mining and advertising purposes.
Anyway if you are a news junkie and want to scan the news headlines for free try either Yahoo or AOL news on the web. They are kinda hidden gems.
What’s you favorite news website?
Seen and Heard: ChatGPT and it’s competitors are just fancy predictive text.
I agree.
Good morning. Coffee. Coffee is one of life’s simple pleasures. You don’t have to bungee jump off a bridge, try to tickle sharks or take selfies with a cobra to enjoy life. You can just sit and sip a good cup of coffee.
(Shark, cobra, bungee, even lawyers not included.)
Interesting, my last post got published to my blog, but not to the MB timeline nor was it cross posted.
Ex-DOGE henchman, ‘Big-Balls’ Coristine, gets beat up in DC by gang. Trump admin is starting to sound like a gangster movie.
Good morning. Coffee, breakfast and tea. Got to get car serviced today.
Pattern recognition: Trump never builds or repairs, all he ever does is tear down and destroy.
One of the biggest threats to our health is our own government.
Good morning. Coffee long done. Plan for Day: Errands.
Trump is a fink.
I would travel more but they never seem to want to let my emotional support snapping turtle on the plane.
Good morning. Coffee is done. Pancakes for breakfast, I think.
I think there is some sort of Rule: No one grocery store carries everything you want. Lesson: we have to avoid grocery store consolidations and mergers at all costs.
Good morning. Hot coffee helped offset the chilly morning.
Random: I have no idea what vibe coding is and I don’t want to know.
Tariffs: Expect prices on everything to go up.
Epstein Files: Release the Epstein Files. Unaltered. Unredacted.
I paid a bunch of bills, so far, this morning. I might need a nap.
The TV in the service waiting room at the car dealership had some show on with people trying to decide on buying a new home in California. They kept calling 4 acres a “ranch.” Whatever. Anyway, the places with shit homes, all cost over 1 or 2 Million dollars!
Calif. is not on the same planet.
Good morning. Coffee done. 1st. breakfast will be McDonald’s. Don’t judge.
TACO Trump is moving US nuclear submarines closer to Russia because somebody there called him a Bad Name or something. Go ahead and overreact Donald. (I think Trump’s falling apart under the weight of Epstein.)
I’m pretty sure that I have no idea what’s going on in America anymore.
Good morning. Coffee done, on tea now. It’s downright chilly outside.
I get to take a car in for service, and wait for it. Hopefully it won’t take too long. Joy.
ICE continues raids. I’m waiting for them to start raiding funerals, church services and hospitals next.
You can now take a direct flight from Moscow, Russia to Pyongyang, North Korea and (maybe) back. That’s pretty brutal. Worse, you have to fly on either a Russian airline or a North Korean airline. Double brutal and scary. Probably best to give both places a skip.
Good morning. Coffee and thinking about breakfast burritos. Because burritos.
America once tried to elect our best and the brightest as President. We’ve been lowering the bar so much, till we now think celebrities, billionaires, child molesters, pimps and felons can be President. We’re screwed.
Good morning. Coffee done. 1st breakfast done. On tea now.
Ukrainians are using caltrops to stop a Russian advance. The Russians have been using motorcycle dirt bikes and ATV’s to advance and the caltops puncture their tires. Cheap, effective and can be dropped by drones on roads and trails.
They are rebooting Murder She Wrote.
Besides corn sweat, corn fields are kinda creepy. I’ve driven by them which makes me an expert on social media. Things lurk in corn fields: clowns, ghosts, corn sharks, lost tic-tic influencers and children of the corn.
Can we convince the Scots to keep Trump there?
Maybe we can change the numbers on each golf green so he keeps playing continuously. It would be like those walled Alzheimer gardens where you walk in circles and eventually always lead back to the same place. Only with golf, same, same.
Good morning. Coffee to start the day. I’m not sure what to make for 1st breakfast. It’s an endless quandary.
Scanning the news headlines: the Forces of Spin are going full blast in Washington DC and MSM seems to fall for it. My conclusion is that ALL politicians, are slippery as eels. Wankers.
My instinct is telling me that the Epstein files will be covered up, disappear or be altered. What happens after that I can’t say.
I would love to be proved wrong.
It’s not high humidity. It’s corn sweat.
