Well ok then, thanks for y’all being candid.

Now back to our regular programming, the Trump Show, Episode Fudging with Elections.

I’ve been expecting American politics and authoritarinist success to keep getting worse, and they have. I don’t get why others here don’t seem to be as worried or bothered by it. So I hope it’s because I’m wrong. In any case, I ran into a more optimistic view that includes a more optimistic prediction, and it reminds me that we’ve survived similar…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg 🙂

Last couple of days Reg. Tuesday it was sepia coloured outside. Felt I was in the 1890s. Today’s been a bit iffy. Tomorrow it’s going to be clear. We have local smoke trackers on our weather apps at the moment. It must be awful at the source.

Jake, people have been pointing out they’re very familiar with the traditional digestive disasters from Taco Bell and that this new explosive upgrade is of a completely different nature.  🤷‍♀️

Jake. “Dya thinnk those Trump guffaw producing fuck ups are real or AI?”

Thanks Reg!

I wasn’t implying that, although that may not be inaccurate. SCOTUS itself has been watering down and resetting precedents on…[Read more]

That was an exceptional read, Reg. Thank you for sharing it here 🫶

Here’s one of the best summaries I’ve seen in a while, of relatively current news, and without a lot of hype (IMO).

(Maybe mentioning “Mush Brains” [sic] came close to hype, but that’s just me thinking of Trump as a mentally defective, parentally abused victim, but which the world would have been better…[Read more]

Separation of Church and State, even as a meaning-distilled colloquialism not explicitly mentioned in the US Constitution, has entered a new phase of religious, cultural evolution in USA. Behind the scenes, Trump’s “I dunno who that is” Project 2025,  is likely celebrating. So must some of 6-3 SCOTUS. I predict time will soon enable some of these…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg 🙂

Pretty smart observations. I recently decided I want as much locally and cloud-stored files as possible for more efficient “workflow” and backup, one reason I chose Perplexity Pro.

Last prediction I noticed was that chip prices will come down near beginning of 2027. More companies want to manufacture chips, especially with Taiwan at higher risk…[Read more]
