Well, always the optimist, I guess a good outcome of global warming is Florida mostly being underwater in 50 years.

I’m going to be blogging about all of the things “people are saying” about him. I’ve heard he likes to press wild flowers.

I think it probably came from inquisitive monkeys, looking at the sky and noticing patterns. The cultivation of crops required the ability to notice the patterns of the stars and when we’re the opportune times to plant. They probably found it incredibly magical that the stars could predict the outcome of their crops. Miraculous! From there, I suspect they started to draw faulty conclusions from their basically scientific observations. It’s amazing how much astronomy ancients were aware of. That’s my two cents.

@npr

Seriously? I need an “expert” to weigh in on this? Jesus, I don’t need an expert to tell me how to tie my shoes. But thanks for giving us “both sides” NPR.

@gdyson

I’m more worried about the fascist little pricks trying to fuck up our democracy.

How many drag queens have let loose a bloodbath in an elementary school?

John Stewart, nails it.

Doesn’t matter. The dumbshits that still think Dominion voting machines are rigged are the same fuckwits this is performed for.

I may be wrong on this one, but I’m starting to think Ron Desantis is kind of a little bit of a pussy.

@philipncohen

Right? Do you think we’re going to get to see the Dominion v Fox News trial?

@HamonWry

how about you are required to join the regulated militia (aka National Guard) in your state?

So there’s this newlywed couple. And whenever either one wants to have sex, they’ll use their sweet little code to “do the laundry”.

One night, the husband wakes up and says “honey, let’s do the laundry”. She says, “sorry honey I’m a little tired” and rolls over.

Morning comes around, and she rolls over and wakes him up and says “I think I’m ready for a soapy spin” (nudge wink). Husband says, “ no worries, it was a small load, I did it by hand”.

Thank you! Thank you! Remember to tip your waitresses!

What is consciousness? What is intelligence?

Over the millennia the ink spilled on these two words have produced more smoke than mirrors making all the sturm and drang and pearl clutching and about “artificial intelligence” so incredibly laughable. AI has truly put the “hype” in hyperventilation.

Please read this slightly older opinion that makes the case.

Once you go buffalo…

Well. I guess Bill Maher is qualified to define “woke”. Apparently it’s a lot of things. Ya know, a lot of things.

I keep hearing media outlets using the term “wokeism”.

I have not heard once, not once, what the fuck that word means. Do you think maybe they could spend a three minute segment on defining it, and interviewing those in the know? Please oh please I would love journalism to do it’s duty to educate the public on the arcane language they use.

@chadloder

in Fresno!? This is shocking!

It’s a great sign to see more right wing trolls on mastodon. It means they’re getting nervous about no one paying attention to them on Twitter. So far I have blocked a few. I’m sure they’ll figure out soon that Mastodon doesn’t reward their bullshit. Before I block them, though, I private message them and tell them to fuck the fuck off. Try it. It feels good.
