MEMO TO THE MEDIA:

Give the people the full picture

Making this election about age when both candidates are basically the same age and one is in far better shape with a far better command of facts and truth than the other had at any age is a choice. And it's a choice to try to elect Donald Trump, or at least make that a possibility.

My wife just received a very legitimate looking Bell Canada payment notification e-mail. There are next to no obvious clues that it was not legitimate. Other than the monthly amount was wrong and the pay by date was wrong.

Be aware. It was fake, but it could fool anyone.

"Mommy, what's a contradiction?

Funny how wealthy Americans will readily accuse Biden of “buying votes” with student debt forgiveness but had no issue with Trump signing massive tax cuts for themselves.

Rep. Swalwell should have charged a two-drink minimum for roasting Donald Trump during this week's impeachment hearing with Hunter Biden. 🍻

Getting a real “get used to fascism it really won’t be so bad” vibe from the mainstream media lately.

people won't remember
- your job title
- your salary
- how hard you worked

they will remember:
- that time you said something weird
- your weird personality
- how you should be embarrassed

Send all the influencers to an island far, far away. Set up a load of cameras but don't connect them to anything. Done. They will be gone from our lives forever.

Here’s how the Western allies should respond to Putin executing Navalny:

Seize the $388 billion in Russian funds currently frozen in western bank accounts — and give it to Ukraine.

"When I hear Pierre #Poilievre go on about Canadians who cannot afford to feed and house themselves, it reminds of every religious hustler I've ever met - enriching themselves by claiming they care deeply about the poor."

😳”Poilievre’s Conservative Party wants to pass a bill, which would mean #Poilievre would be automatically granted security clearance since he can't or won’t obtain one legitimately.
If this Isn’t a screaming red flag, I don’t know what is.”

An Air Canada "AI"-powered chatbot gave a customer bogus information. Then the airline said it wouldn't honor what it had told the customer, claiming the bot wasn't actually part of the airline (despite being run from its website).

A court said "give me a break" and ordered the airline to honor what the bot said.

This needs to become the rule for all such things.

I always think it's funny when right-wing types get mad at Star Wars for becoming "woke." They didn't notice the obvious fascist imagery? They didn't realize that they were the villains in this whole cinematic universe? So unobservant! I would never make that mistake! I'd know if I was the villain in a whole cinematic universe!

Anyway, I can't wait to watch the second installment of Dune! What'll happen next in Arrakis(Iraq)? Will the spice(oil) flow? Will Paul's Jihad topple the empire(us)?

I couldn’t afford the Apple Vision Pro, so I got the Apple Vision Junior instead.
