Yesterday, we entered a optician shop. Me: "I'm looking for sunglasses to clip on my glasses." He: "They're called clip-on sunscreen". Me [Silence is golden] I dont give a fuck what they're called in jargon. I only needed one pair. He understood me perfectly. #smh

Solar update. Our virtual battery is empty. We paid our first bill this month. €0,63 Apparently, to date this month, we have accumulated a bill of €4,87. I suspect we'll be in the positive again in March. Anyway, we're paying very little, so that's good.

So far, the release of the Trump Epstein files has had no impact whatsoever.

You don't have to agree with me. You have the right to be wrong. ~ Walks away whistling

Ain't that the truth.

Just quote every individual claim about Trump and ask them if that specific claim is bogus.

"Taxes are robberies!" You want to live in a place where there are no public roads? No public schools? No public hospitals? No military? No police? No firefighters? No laws? No pensions? No public transport? No air traffic controllers? No food safety control? No pharmaceutic control? No nothing?

I heard this anecdote, years ago, from my neighbors. This happened thirty years ago. A brother of my neighbors, dumb as a door, went home on leave from military service. He arrived in Madrid by train and caught a cab. "To Cáceres" (both a province, and a city). When they arrived in the city,…

Usually I can’t wait for a sequel but…

Me: "How did you sleep?" She: "Good, after you came to bed." Me: "See, I'm a somniferum."

Works the same with "Nazis" instead. I dont like Nazis. Trump is a Nazi. I dont like Trump.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

☕️📖 Nothing like spending a cozy morning curled up under a blanket with a cup of tea and a book on my lap to keep me company while I endlessly scroll my phone

They said the Epstein files were on the desk. They said there were no Epstein files. They reluctantly released the redacted Epstein files. The Epstein files contains everything we all already knew, and more. Nothing happened. At all. For Fuck's Sake ‼️

So, the Epstein files were released without redactions, in a way. Any reaction from the MAGA pedophile lovers? Nothing? Something? Anything?

The top is after Trump’s DOJ redactions below is without, I can almost figure out who they are protecting

So this taking food to the homeless thing... my wife and I did it for Thanksgiving, and now we've done it for Christmas as well. But what about the other ten months of the year? We've given it some thought and some discussion, and we're going to do this every month from now until we can't anymore.

This account is labeled "rude". LOL

Me: "I’ve brought a urine sample." Doctor: "I didn’t ask for a urine sample." Me: "There was a LOT of traffic."

Merry Christmas

This is always a good decision.

I improvised a meal. They: "This is marvelous!" Me: "It's a heirloom recipe."

My MIL to her daughter (my SIL): "We haven't fought this evening." Me: "The night is young."

Don't talk about "forever homes" either.

I have a theory. When Trump remembers that he has a small penis, he gets angry. He never forgets that he has a small penis. That explains everything!

We'll be having dinner at the in-laws. My usual game plan is: Silence is golden.

Not too long ago, everybody was disappointed with all the redactions to the Epstein files. LOL 😆 The FBI did a stellar job redacting the files.

So let me get this straight, they released “redacted” Epstein files where you can literally copy & paste and read the redactions? Only the best and brightest allowed in this administration I see.

Print TRUMP in white letters on all redacted redactions.

The thing about art is that it can be interpreted by the viewer as they wish, especially when the artist gives no comment. I choose to interpret the latest Banksy as a statement on the importance of astronomy… 🔭

Is a vagina a man-cave? ~ Not all vaginas

Guys, guys, guys, and gals, Did you know that climate science started over two hundred years ago when Foucault, in 1824, proposed there was something in the air to maintain a global average temperature above freezing? Eunice Foote, in 1856, discovered that CO2 is a greenhouse gas.

When Trump says he "wants to run the government like a business", does he mean "like a criminal enterprise"?

Pirates of the Caribbean!

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

My wife and I have decided to skip dinner to lose some weight. Christmas dinner … will be interesting. 😆

Spain has fined Airbnb €65 million for continuing to advertise short-term rental properties that were banned or lacked proper licenses to operate under new laws. The company has also been ordered to remove the illegal listings immediately. www.euronews.com/travel/2025/...

AI is very interesting. It's a tool that already helped doctors with diagnosis, and engineers with designs, and lots more. However, corporate greed looks at AI as a replacement for people, to reduce labor costs. AI isn't there yet. It's really stupid to try to replace humans with AI.

I'm listening 🎧 to Crime and punishment. So far, I like it. One murder has turned into two, and I suspect there are more on the way. I know virtually nothing about this book beyond the name and author.

Someone sent me a link to the "Climate, the movie" video. I sent her the link to the webpage debunking all the nonsense. skepticalscience.com/climate-the-...

I was so confused the other day. A guy asked me my height. I told him. Another guy told me I'm not that tall. I think I replied "that's what it says on my passport", but I don't remember. Wow.

This is fantastic news, a triumph of medicine! And the overall cervical cancer rate in Oz is dropping, too, almost certainly due to HPV vaccinations. And exactly the sort of progress RFK Jr. is trying to kill. Along with killing our citizens.

Writers are advised to write about things that they know really well. That's good advice according to JRR Tolkien.

Hey! A friend of my wife sent us a Christmas card. It's a photo of the burial site of Franco, the Spanish dictator. We already knew they were right-wing. It's weird, right?

Talking about dogs. One of the neighbor's dogs is in heat. There are loads of dogs hanging around, fighting, waiting for a chance, banging the bitch (the female dog). We've seen white, brown, grey, dark colored dogs. Looking forward to a multicolored litter.

There's a dog (various dogs, really) that has been hanging around here these last months. The owner died. We have called the police. We could not catch it. It's getting skinnier. Anyway, today we heard from my MIL that we should stop calling the police because our neighbor has adopted it.

In today's "what the fuck?" anecdotes: She: "Scientists find whatever they are paid to find." Me: "Not true. Look at Exxon scientists. Exxon knew." She: "But Exxon denies it." Me: "You can't trust Exxon. Trust their scientists. They made extraordinary good predictions." She: "Exxon claims…"

Trump has his name put on the Kennedy building. When will he visit Dallas? ~ Just asking.

Incest puts the member in family member.

Guess who is stupid? You got it, the guy writing this. I have a bog standard email server. I configured the email app on my phone. It works. Perfect. Two years later. Why can't I find the emails I have sent? Turns out I had not configured the Folders in the email app. Now Sent is Sent. FFS!
