In hindsight, it was unwise to group the world's entire strategic reserve of influencers in one concentrated area, Dubai. Amateur mistake. Sun Tzu would never.

Proof copy of IN TRANSIT on the way. The tentative schedule is to release this in time for @minicon-mnstf.bsky.social this year.

So, Wikipedia is hand-crafted nonsense rather than AI-generated nonsense slop but it's still nonsense many times and teachers were right not to accept it as a source. I certainly do not accept it as a source.

Americans are easy to spot: they are festooned in brand, college and sports team logos and enter a room like the Kool-Aid man.

A woman wearing sunglasses, a white and grey marbled KN95 mask, and a sage green tee shirt with white words on it that say, "relax, everything is out of control"

Out running errands today and got some great comments on my shirt... still doing my best to keep my health *and* my sense of humor in these trying times.

They can’t exist without literally making shit up to fit their skewed worldview. It’s who they are.

With the collapse of social media, I am okay with the internet being less worldwide webby. My brother does ham and stumbled onto a group of Welshmen praising Heddy Lamarr’s prowess as an inventor. That’s what the internet needs to be again

My son asked me if we could watch "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street" tonight. Sometimes life ain't so bad.

The interesting thing is that I have never overheard a conversation on speakerphone that was even remotely interesting or necessary. Phones are pacifiers for adults who never think of anything worthwhile or can bear to be in their own company.

It cost zero dollars to be petty and I love free shit.

two or three years ago, I actually had to explain to somebody what "living paycheck to paycheck" means.

Early movies were like "Yes, we will record a death defying dive! Our cameras are at the ready! In he goes! And up... up? Lyle. Lyle? The bubbles can't be good right? Do you think he's stuck down there... Lyle? ... Cheese it, the cops!" (runs away)

How shall I describe this? Like the Little Golden Books porno version. Like baby’s first gothic, if baby was born masturbating.

In my town, there are some 100-year-old houses and some have little shop windows on the side. They were being used as part time businesses by women as late as the 1980s. I knew a retired florist.

Wrong. Iran was coming to the East Coast. Amphibious landings on Cape Cod, Long Island and the Outer Banks. Washington overrun with jihadis. Liquor stores boarded up. Burkhas in Georgetown windows. Sharia Law in New York City with Mamdani as Chief High Qadi.

This war simply had to be. Thanks Trump.

Donald Trump doesn’t give a fuck about our troops.
He doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself.
He never has and he never will.

I see people online attempting jelly molds and they are too timid with tje unmolding.

You need to grasp the mold and platter together and then shake them like they owe you money

People like to get cute about claiming fast food is still cheaper than home cooking but that McDonalds burger that people want to ironically eat is $9 for one single burger.

Come on.

The "How did the protestors get signs so quickly?!" crowd is really showing how dumb it is. Parts of the US ruling class have been threatening to bomb Iran for decades, and the US bombed Iran last year. It's "How did you already have rice in your cupboard?!"-level planning.
