Tariffs — what BS

Dateline: 21 Feb 2026 (teletype sounds in the background, can you hear them?) So Mr T is reacting to SCOTUS’ ruling that he can not levy the tariffs he’s been levying. Now, he’s is declaring a Read more

National Guard Shooting

Two national guardsmen were shot in Washington DC, while on routine patrol. . There are so many things wrong with this I hardly know where to start. Military Patrols in Washington, DC. We’re off the Read more

Forty Years Ago

Forty Years Ago — America’s Message to the World was clearly shown by two songs: We Are the World, (1985, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie) This recording was made during a flash mob performance in Read more

Seriously?

So this the last day before 42 million Americans might not get their food supplements, that is, before they are about to go hungry, and what is the Commander in Chief doing today? Showing off Read more

Irony, Oh Irony

Isn’t it interesting that 5 days after 7+ million Americans declare “No Kings” South Korea decides to give Trump a crown? My opinion of South Korea just totally folded. That’s about as flagrant a spit Read more

Drug Boats Go Boom

Yet another supposed drug boat is blown out of existence. Were they warned? Were they given a chance to “heeve to and surrender?” Been watching a navy chat room on reddit. These folks are not Read more

What more do you need to say?

Just found this on YouTube. Nice to see that America isn’t entirely falling for the smoke and mirrors. What more is there to say here? This fellow caught it perfectly. I can’t find one thing Read more

This “Device”

I have a gadget that was brought in to me, (person getting rid of it, in a box of such stuff) and I’m trying to figure out what it even is. Sort of an odd Read more

Been a While

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted much here. I’ve been trying to stay out of national politics, but national politics is all most people want to discuss right now. <Sigh> National politics… Read more

Clone Alpha and Other Robots

Robotics is getting awfully close to producing a true sci-fi style robot. Now a company has announced a brand new approach to robotics: a synthetic human. Artifical organs, a vascular system and a nervous system. Read more

A La Berlin Diary

I wasn’t going to get into all this much here… but really, how can I not? The Sad Show in Washington DC keeps getting worse. Russ Vought — key architect of Project 2025 — tapped Read more

What Means “Woke”?

There’s been this “new” word around for a short while and it finally ocurred to me that I don’t know what it means given how it’s being used. Woke. “I woke up just as the Read more

70 Year Old Experiment is News?

Huh? They’re at it again. Refusing to do their research on what’s already been done, then declaring something I learned in grade school or junior high as “news.” Piffle… https://phys.org/news/2024-07-cloud-ground-lightning-generated-blocks.html Synopsis: in the early Earth Read more

Olympics Live? Wow

I remember in the 5th grade (I think it was), the teacher rolled in the TV and we watched a small part of the Olympics, because it was “via satellite” for the first time in Read more

Project 2025

I’ve been hearing rumors of a totalitarian document (that’s what the rumors called it as I heard them) called “Project 2025.” I managed to get a copy of the “full” document. (It claims to be Read more

Cyber Security

Date line: 20 July 2024… (da-da-di-da… <teletype noises in the background>) Yesterday’s dramatic “failure” of the Internet was because of a faulty update. Not because of a terrorist attack, or because of a junior wanna-be Read more

Global Tech Outage

Gosh. Just heard. A GLOBAL TECH OUTAGE grounded flights, impacted hostpitals and public transit systems. Worldwide. Due to a bad software update.  Do I hate to say “I told you so?” Or I like to Read more

The News — 19 July 2024

I can’t keep it in… I gotta let it out. The news today is ridiculous. Just stuns me… the Republican National Convention actually did it — nominated an unsentenced convicted felon for president.  Not unexpected, Read more

Car Remotes

To start with I find (and always have) the idea of a remote for one’s car to be not only a silly concept for a very, very unsafe one. Means the car can be hacked, Read more

Star Trek & Lithium

Isn’t it interesting that in the old Star Trek series (the original, back in the late 60s, for you youngsters out there) that the main power of the Enterprise came from the use of “dilithium Read more

Ouch — AI under attack

Ouch. New York Times suing Microsoft and OpenAI for copyright infringement. This is a no-win scenario. Whatever happens it’s bad. I am not a fan of AI as it currently is engineered. Too many unknowns, Read more
