My daughter renames any electronic device she controls to “Hot single horses in your area”. So if you’re ever on a Zoom call with me and you see that name, it’s because I forgot to rename it when I connected.

Why are you assuming I’ve made bad decisions? I’m just a lot more interesting in helping the generations coming after me than the one before me. Our country seems to want to endlessly transfer money from the young to the old.

Why do people say seniors are on a fixed income like everyone else gets to make however much they want? Social Security is indexed to inflation unlike most peoples‘ jobs. Seniors also happen to be the wealthiest demographic on average.

It’s the Pirates’ Code now - “anyone who falls behind is left behind.“

They really just want any who gets sick to die quietly.

Why Sam Altman reminds me of Anton Chigurh To understand what the people building AI are really saying, it helps to spend some time with a man who kills people with a cattle gun.

I am not saying the guys running OpenAI are serial killers. I'm just saying the worldview they present, and the way they talk about their own actions, reminds me a lot of one of the most iconic serial killers in the history of film.

“The wrongs which we seek to condemn and punish have been so calculated, so malignant and so devastating that civilization cannot tolerate their being ignored because it cannot survive their being repeated.”

It is truly hard to wrap your head around. Imagine a moderately wealthy person with $4-8 million dollars. That’s enough money to retire, send your kids to college, etc. Musk has 100,000 times that amount of money. He’s 100,000 regular rich people.

You were moved to do this by pride and by hate. Is it any wonder the result was ruin?

Yeah. "I disagree with the Court's legal analysis" is one thing, but "the Court isn't using legal analysis to decide cases" is another. The latter is no longer in the realm of law and should not be treated as if it is.

I just love that this guy has been making views for years for a small audience, and then just hits lightning in a bottle. His other videos are fine, but none of them have over 1000 views. This one gets clicked more than the others, then picked up by the algorithm, clicked more, to 367,000 views.

There’s NO Way This Place Is Still Open… So I Tried It 😳 YouTube video by Kicks_and_cuisine

YouTube fascinates me. I’ve been watching a bunch of food review content, so YouTube tossed this in my feed. It‘s a fun video, so I checked out the channel. It has 3000 followers, very few views. But this one got 367,000 views. It had what the algorithm and people wanted.

I’ve replaced going to the cash machine with taking my daughter’s baby sitting cash and transferring money from my account to her savings account. The funniest thing is when she asks for spending money and I transfer money to her savings account and she just spends her own cash.

I saw all the stuff about Tim Curry and I vaguely remembered that he was a villain in one of the Iron Man movies. Google informed me that that wasn’t true and what I remembered was that he was a villain in the 1st Charlie’s Angel movie. Oops.

On these days when my daughter has her friends over, I’m starting to envy my grandfather’s hearing loss when we lived with him while I was growing up.

They are so loud, erratic, and so wildly inappropriate. I am truly old.

A Fish called Wanda- I’m sorry about my brother Ken.  I know he’s insensitive. He’s had a hard life. Dad used to beat him up.

Ken replies “Good”

ICE has been weaponized into a bigot's private terrorist Gestapo and must be abolished.

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said.

I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

After what ICE did to us here in Minnesota, any Minnesota who votes Republican needs their head examined.
