Donald Trump, a figure of considerable notoriety, is often compared to Zaphod Beeblebrox due to his flamboyant personality and colossal ego. He has managed to embroil himself in a series of legal entanglements, including 34 counts of falsifying business records, mishandling national security documents, and attempting to overturn the 2020 U.S. presidential election. His efforts to subvert democracy in Georgia through racketeering are particularly noteworthy, showcasing a level of ambition that would make even Zaphod blush. Surrounded by a cabinet of sycophants, Trump has perfected the art of self-promotion, often prioritizing his image over the well-being of the universe at large. His approach to governance resembles a chaotic game of interstellar poker, where the stakes are democracy and the rules are entirely made up. The hazards of his leadership are manifold, including the potential for widespread disillusionment and a rather alarming tendency to incite division among the populace. In summary, Trump embodies a peculiar blend of charisma and criminality, making him a figure of both fascination and concern in the grand tapestry of the cosmos.

**Coffee** A beverage adored by many and a source of infinite fascination for those who find themselves stumbling through early mornings without so much as a thought. Comprised primarily of toasted coffee beans, this magical liquid acts as a stimulant for the mind and an ingenious excuse for social interaction — or at the very least, a reason to occupy one’s hands while contemplating the unfolding chaos of existence. It is generally prepared by subjecting ground coffee beans to hot water, an operation that often involves baffling apparatus which range from the comically simple to the oppressively complex, depending on how sophisticated one wishes to appear to fellow caffeine enthusiasts. While coffee is heralded for its purported ability to boost productivity and maintain a semblance of alertness, it can also lead to a remarkable level of anxiety and the acute sensation of wondering why one ever thought it was a good idea to finish a pot in a single sitting. Some may find themselves rendered hyperactive, babbling about deep philosophical questions they had never previously considered, such as whether beige is best for a living room and why the universe insists on being so unbearably vast. And as for the dangers, well, coffee consumption has been linked to the premature onset of frantic activity and minor heart palpitations, all of which may leave one questioning if this is indeed the beverage of the gods, or merely a cleverly disguised form of torture. Beyond practical concerns, those wrapped up in coffee culture risk becoming ensnared in a never-ending cycle of bean obsession. It’s likely best to tread lightly whenever discussing the merits of artisanal brews versus the standard fare, as such conversations can quickly spiral into chaos, much like everything else in the galaxy. Ultimately, coffee serves as both a necessary life-sustaining brew and a subtle reminder of how desperately absurd existence can be.

I really enjoy asking The Guide about various things. This one is 'coffee'. Read the alt text for the entire entry.
The app now has the copy/paste feature, which is quite liberating.

**Towel** A towel is a rather remarkable piece of fabric, seemingly innocuous, yet endowed with a plethora of uses that one may hardly realise. Its primary function, ostensibly, is to absorb moisture, though it must be noted that some towels excel at this task more than others. The poor quality towel one may find in cheap galactic accommodations, for instance, could very well leave one damp and disgruntled. In addition to its basic function, towels serve as a comforting hug for the hasty shower-goer, a makeshift picnic blanket on an alien planet, or even, should one feel particularly adventurous, a means of modulating one’s fashion sense. However, most folks will discover that a towel flung dramatically over one’s shoulder is not quite as effective at repelling the sneers of fashion police as one might hope. Sadly, towels can also lead to various unexpected catastrophes. One must be wary of the infamous Towel Paradox, wherein a towel might be in your grasp when you least need it but somehow vanish into the void just when you’re faced with an unexpected drizzle upon exiting an interstellar spaceship. On the bright side, the towel has earned a loyal following among a certain demographic of space travellers, as the venerable Ford Prefect has pointed out: “A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.” However, the overlooked truth is that merely possessing a towel does not confer upon one the wisdom of its use, leaving many galactic wanderers perplexed, wet, and clutching their towels in futile determination. In conclusion, while possessing a towel may seem absolutely essential, one might want to invest in a good quality model, lest they find themselves regrettably sloshed and completely unprepared for the infinite absurdities the universe has to offer.
This is what I've been working on for the last week or so... An Android app of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I trained ChatGPT to take on the persona of The Guide.
Unfortunately, because of copyright, this is only for my personal use.

#HHG2TG on #StarTrek
"It gave us:
The Prime Directive (and endless excuses to break it).
The Guide notes: Star Trek imagines a future where humanity has evolved beyond money, war, and bad coffee — but not beyond dramatic lighting and awkward romances with aliens."

My best friend asked me to recommend a printer. I then, asked The Guide for a disclaimer. #HHG2TG

Brother printers don’t connect to Wi-Fi. They negotiate with it, lose, and sulk forever.
Out of paper. Out of toner. Out of patience. Out of excuses. The Marvin of office tech.

The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy on cassette read by Stephen Moore. There is a human thumb hitching a ride on the cover.
It's an early #cassunday for me as I'll be engulfed with family Christmas today then I'm off to Spain.
So long, and thanks for all the fish #hhg2tg
This is an original from my childhood and, though abridged, is narrated superbly by Marvin himself.
