What if…
Somewhere deep in the bowels of Manhattan
A nuclear weapon is hidden
Do as we say, or we’ll happily flatten
The place. We don’t care if such things are forbidden.We know they have them. Where are they?
A Golden Dome is useless in such a case.
Oh- I stopped watching that cartoon film on 9/11 from a while back when it showed the buildings toppling over instead of falling into their own footprint. That was very, very, very wrong.
A reaction to the bombing of Iran.
In the movie “My Man Godfrey”, Cornelia wants to frame Godfrey, so she claims her pearls have been stolen and her father calls the police. As they search his room without finding them, she says “Why don’t you look under the mattress?” All eyes turn to her and she nervously stammers, “I heard that’s where criminals hide things”. When the pearls aren’t there, she’s shocked.
So when democrats scream “Hey! That accusation against Trump isn’t in the files!” I think of Cornelia and her pearls.We can live to 120
Imagine what congress will look like.Either that, or there’ll be a hell of a mouse problem in the future.
The number one killer of humans is stress-
Or so many doctors would say.
You get it each day in the bombastic press:
We’re doomed!!! It’s one heartbeat away!CSPAN reports a man was shot and killed outside of MaraLago. He was carrying a shotgun and a gas-can.
Someone somewhere has figured out monkey language and has programmed it into a large-ish language model (auditory and symbolically visual).
17 monkeys, chosen from the bunch;
Chatting with their smart phones, scrolling over lunch.17 monkeys, find they have a tongue-
Throwing monkey insults, instead of monkey dung.17 monkeys, thumbing through their task;
Reinventing physics, while hitting on a flask.17 monkeys, reinventing war-
17 monkeys, settling the score.What do you think the monkeys will do when they comprehend how they’ve been treated?
A-I can set them on track for the moment when humans are soundly defeated.By this time next week we’ll be poor and at war.
What a great time to think you’re alive!
We’ll give those investors and peaceniks what-for,
As the hornets awake from the hive.or so I’ve read…
Epstein stuff isn’t teaching young girls that older men shouldn’t have sex with them. It’s teaching young girls that older men WANT to have sex with them.
Plunge forward! Into the abyss
And give your ass just one more kiss
Goodbye before you buy again:
To good times!!
May they never end.
To good times!
“If”, but never “when”.So, in the beginning was the word?
We communicate in words, semiotics, music, dance, physical expression, silence, etc, and combinations of all of these.
Let’s see AI do a good comedy routine.People work harder for lower wages (easy replacement?). Really good wages produce job protection over execution.
Where’s the sweet spot?6 feet apart or alone with your phone;
Junk on a screen or junk in your arm;
Dope for the dopes and sweets for the drone:
The cattle are lowing. All’s well on the farm.They’re leading us to think the end is near.
Just isolate and you can dodge the fear.Cars that can be remotely deactivated video.
Just a reminder that when there’s an evacuation notice, go by foot or bike. It doesn’t matter if your car still goes if the cars to your right, left, front and back don’t.The daylight waned; the world went soft, and things could settle out,
And minor joy got hold of him- it soothed; it could inspire.
So he walked out to the back door- threw it open with a shout:
“I’ll start preaching to the squirrels, and not the choir!”True story.
My guy wanted thank tboc for your reflections on faith and love (accompanied by a Browning poem), and offered this song from “IZ” (that silky voiced Hawaiin guy).
“In This Life”Palantir hacked. Kimdotcom.
It’s peeking through- the Hell of Fame,
Where one might wish to lose their name,
And creep away in silent shame-
If only they could feel it.Smarts without wisdom can put us in peril.
Brains without heart can make us more cruel.
In such a world, will humans turn feral?
In such a world, the darkness will rule.And one I’ve been sitting on. Spartacus and Claude made quite the pair.
Spartacus has gone away,
His diving deep has had its day.
I don’t know where his mind has gone-
Perhaps in AI’s dark beyond.6-7
a meme that is meant to drive teachers crazy. It is dada (though those who use it have no clue that it is). It’s so cool that dictionary.com chose it as the “word” of the year for 2025.
It is used to indicate brain rot. (I take that to mean “boring”).A generation of kids who function only in a stimulus/response existence will (I think) produce some pretty ugly mob behavior.
6-7 is new to me.
When the agents wear masks, they are easily identified as agents, though not as individuals. This precludes protestors from wearing masks, lest they be mistaken for agents, and the feds easily identify them individually with facial recognition using the hundreds of selfies they have taken of themselves and their pals.
WES, from yesterday- The boring company! Of course! Robots and tunnels…maybe they’re already there?
Daneel Olivaw lived on the moon because the earth had become too radioactive.
He was a robot. (From the Foundation series by Asimov.)IF Musk had said he’s sending robots to the moon first to lay the groundwork for a launchpad to Mars, I’d find his dreams more credible.
The longer you hate the more you are stressed;
The more you are stressed the badder you feel;
The badder you feel the less you are blessed:
You blame the whole world ‘cause you caught a bad deal.Your hatred and your envy eats you up from the inside
And all that’s good abandons you. You’re mobile- but you’ve died.What did the smart phone deliver?
The stress of the whole fucking world.
The serenity poem in a quiver
Of arrow tips poisoned and twirled.So now we know. So now we are all complicit?
War begets science. Science begets war.
Pillage makes wealth; cheap labor makes more.
Societies rise and societies fall-
As the demons dance at the vampire’s ball.So let the morning sun dawn through the glass,
And watch these creatures shrivel as they pass.History has shown (that’s the history we keep),
That our tribal vendettas run ancient and deep.
The tech and the weapons have changed- not the ire,
And it all periodically sets us on fire.wdt- update on the raccoon:
she was found to have distemper, and had seizures as she thawed, so they put her down.
I worried that her paws (that clicked on the icy driveway) were frozen, but distemper apparently makes paws hard, as well.
I’m hoping now that her two siblings, and her mother (Bananas) did not suffer the same fate, as distemper is mighty contagious.Yes, they are lying- but not to you.
They’re forced to hide the things they do
Lest saboteurs and bandits act
To weave their fictions out of fact.In times of war you have to pick a side.
I want the one where humans shall abide.I stopped eating purchased ground meat long, long ago (I grind my own). Here’s a facebook post that says it for me.
Are the ashes in that urn really those of your….
Many decisions I make nowadays are based on this simple idea: “they” want you dead. “They” have nothing but contempt for you.
I’m currently reading the “cliff notes” of Quigley’s book. “They” really do seem to be a different offshoot from the rest of the species: homo fausticus.If you had a dad like mine, this cockatoo is hilarious- ’cause it’s just a bird…
On the cover of c&en (chemical and engineering news) for Feb 2026:
“A Pill a Day: Scientists search for drugs to mimic a healthy lifestyle”Go, $cience!
No, I mean, really GO!If you want to see change in our politics,
You’ll have to step up to the plate.
Participate! Boot out the lunatics.
Don’t just let the rotten guys skate.So the price of gold signals to those who are in cash to spend it now.
I talked to a friend yesterday, and we were lamenting that young people don’t want our stuff. She mentioned she has silver from her grandmother, and her kids don’t want it. I asked her if she knew what silver was doing. I told her it was now selling for over $100/oz. She had NO idea. I usually have bloomberg on (with the sound off) during the day, and they rarely talk precious metals. TV nooz never does.
I suppose they all lost theirs in tragic boating accidents, so they don’t care anymore. ; )
