I talk about different things to avoid becoming boring. I'm an old guy who loves new stuff. Science & technology intrigue me.

Warning: If you post the words "tell Congress to act now" I will block you.

Expecting Congress to save you is like expecting your cat to pull you from a burning house.

Nobody is coming to save you. Why should they?

It's funny how MAGA loves Wal-Mart when that is the store best known for selling stuff from China.

Ironically, the First Nations people could morally justify that same argument as reason to kick out people like her.

Get enough men killed and the survivors' prospects do go up.

It's an evil form of logic, but it does add up.

There wasn't any data on that either way, but you are most certainly correct.

(Mind you this data is from over 20 years ago) I once dug into the government's own CPS data and found that fewert than 25% of kids put up for adoption get adopted (if they're white - it drops fast otherwise). The rest go to foster care.

Of kids who graduated foster care, 80% ended up in prison.

Just randomly scrolling along, blocking racists, misandrists, people who only repost from Twitter, mindless slogan slingers, people who add twenty hashtags to everything, people playing victim Olympics, and other forms of zero neuron pap.

Luckily, since BlueSky is 99% bots I'll never run out.

Oil reserves go down, prices go up. Oil reserves go up, prices go up. Oil reserves stay steady, prices go up

If this era taught us anything, it's that supply & demand have nothing to do with modern capitalism.

Expect to hear a lot of media outlets talking about "Iranian Sleeper Cells" in the coming weeks.

This is narrative preparation for the next phase.

Considering how dumb they are, I could see this really happening.

So if the war is a distraction for the files, what will become the distraction for the war?

True, I doubt whales ever wonder about what's in the sky.

In the event of an EMP (a side effect of nuclear detonation), the fastest way to get an energy grid back online is for it to be built on renewable sources such as wind & solar.

Y'know, the very things our government is always pushing against.

The smart way to deal with the Borg is to fill a computer with a hundred terabytes of reality television and hand it to them.

They will analyze it and conclude that your civilization isn't advanced enough for assimilation and move on.

How terrible to be fully aware of the limits of humanity and physics. The Universe will never even know we were here.

The FBI spent twenty years trying to warn America that white-nationalists were infiltrating the military and today everyone is surprised by all the white-nationalists in the military.

Yes, but at the time they didn't know the Borg, so...

Every gaming streamer: "Oh crap how did that happen I didn't see it in time."

Me: "Maybe you should stop doing combat at x3 speed?"

To be fair, the Federation did shoot first when they killed a borg drone that was scanning their computers.

They didn't even try to set their weapons to stun.

"Let's just kill everyone" is neither complex or surprising.

In the age of muskets, the bagpipe player was an invaluable asset within the Scottish military.

His job was to bait the enemy army into wasting their entire opening volley trying to hit just one man.

Even more terrifying is that he is probably correct.

America's eagerness for war has, at least, shown the world just how unprepared we are for war.

I expect the propaganda machines to double-down on the "might of our military" fluff now that we're already running out of missiles.

I have to wonder if YouTubers are just copying each other or if they're being handed to-do topic lists as groups from their sponsors?

It's ironic how Boomers are so obsessed with gambling when you consider that being born into a generation of such vast wealth & privilege beyond anything the world has ever seen before, or will ever see again, is already winning the lottery.
