I don’t use AI chat bots, so I was wondering if something like this is possible: Get one chat bot on one side of an argument and another on the other side and have them debate each other. This could be popcorn time watching them yell at each other. Make it political. That’s a fun place to start.

I wonder if it’s possible to get two AI bots to argue with each other. That might be a popcorn moment. Call it a debate and make one bot take a really sketchy position, and the other one takes a reasonable one. It seems like a fun social experiment. It’ll chew up some electricity, but you know. Fun.

I’m old enough to remember when Hungary was the first Eastern Bloc country to demand democracy. That’s was ‘90 or ‘91? I’ve slept since then. What confounds me is that they have an autocrat in control who could possibly win an election again. Am I taking crazy pills? If not, can I have some?

Maybe I’m taking crazy pills and I’ll add that I’m not a sophisticated investor. However, through casual observation, I’ve noticed that when DJT says something bigly bad will happen, the markets tank. Then, a couple days later, he says, “Never mind,” and the markets rebound.

I wonder if when the astronauts reach the far side of the moon whether they’ll see any funny comics. Maybe cows have already set up a lunar presence or something.

Dollars to donuts, Trump will say something like this tonight: “A man approached me, tears in his eyes, a retired Marine General and said, “Sir, I want to thank you for today’s flawless launch! I’ve been waiting for this since 1972! Thank you, Sir!” He then saluted me and proceeded to kissing me.”

Is it just me or is it weird that Burger King is using “Baba O’Reilly” in their ads? It’s like some twenty-something marketing minion heard the first part and thought it sounded cool. Maybe they should have listened to the lyrics. It’s a fucking Vietnam War protest song, fer chrissakes.

Tell me a joke, please. I just like them and they make me happy. Anything, seriously. No holds barred.

Shit. Fuck. Fire. This will not end well. Ascribe any meaning to my statement that you think is appropriate. You’re probably right.

Beware the Ides of March.

How do you feel about a really stupid dad joke? I have a particularly dumb one lined up. Here goes: Q: What’s brown and sticky? A: A stick. I did say it’s a stupid joke. If you kept reading, that’s on you.

Here’s something I’m having trouble with. My state issued me with a voter registration, based on the fact that I have already proved my citizenship. Why do I need to prove that again? I can show a passport or a birth certificate, no problem, but it just seems onerous to me. I know why, but why?

What is going on in Michigan?

Never mind. I was going to say something, but never mind. Everything is jelly. I might need a nap.

Is there a cover version of a song that you think is better than the original? For instance, I believe that The Talking Heads’ cover of “Take me to the River” is better than Al Green’s original. No shade on Al Green, I just think The Talking Heads elevated an already great song.

Mossadeq had the temerity to nationalize the Iranian oil industry. Gots to have oil. So, “somebody” had to install a leader that was friendly to the USA. You see where this is going, right? History rhymes. Whether it’s decades ago or now, this meddling will not end the way they think it will.

Wouldn’t it be wild if all these warehouses being bought by the federal government could be used as apartment buildings for homeless people? Just nice, modest apartments that people could use to get back on their feet. Maybe make them mixed use with retail and such. Maybe I’m a lunatic.

I’m sure this unique to Texas, but I think this ad is really cute. Voiced by Jim Parsons, it’s a baby’s internal monologue about fresh butter tortillas. I hope you’ll enjoy it. youtu.be/y5HzZEv3vqc?...

This may end up being a thread 🧵: This is a story relayed to me by my wife about her old man. He died before I met her, so I’ll take her at her word. Anyway, he bought a house adjacent to a Mormon church. Not on purpose. He was a Jewish atheist. It appears that the Mormons wanted to buy his house

I like how Sunday is a quiet day that only gets interrupted by unsolicited text messages from political candidates that I would never support and that when you tell them to stop, they send another message telling you you said stop. Stop means stop. No means no.

I installed a bird feeder with a camera yesterday. So far, our only visitor is a squirrel. I’ll call him Rocky.

LISTEN TO ME, ALL YOU JOKERS AND KNUCKLEHEADS!!! I hope you’ll have a peaceful weekend. May you all be well and happy! I hope your fortune cookie reveals the lucky lottery numbers! In case you don’t know me very well I use “joker” and “knucklehead” as terms of endearment. It means I like you. 😀

The episode of Bluey called “Flat Pack” teaches adults why couples should never go to IKEA and it teaches children about evolution. I don’t understand why this episode isn’t banned in the US.

I had to learn Greek and Latin root words for college exams and one word that keeps appearing is “coprolalia.” The first part, “copro” comes from the Greek for dung or shit. The second part, “lalia” comes from the Greek for “talking.” So, coprolalia means “talking shit.” Right? Check my math.

I thought the pact was that we wouldn’t watch the SOTU. There’s plenty of talk about it, though. The way to get under his skin is low ratings. I didn’t watch that shit show. Why did anyone else?

SOTU Address on TACO Tuesday? That’s pretty funny. To me, anyway.

Bad Dad Joke: Q: What’s brown and sticky? A: A stick. I warned you that it was bad.

This is a random memory: several years ago, I was talking to my son and I used the word “ephemeral.” He asked me what that word means and I said, “Do you know Snapchat? Those messages are ephemeral.” He said, “Ok, I got it.” I like to think I expanded his vocabulary a little bit that day.

What kind of psychopath leaves four seconds on the microwave timer?

Forget the AI generated videos Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt fighting. I want to see The Pope fighting a panda or maybe The Dalai Lama.

Apropos of nothing: do you know anyone who drives a Jeep? If you do, what’s up with the rubber ducks? My sister-in-law drives one and she has a big cardboard box full of little rubber ducks that she leaves on other Jeeps. I’ve never gotten a cogent answer as to why this is a thing.

This song has been in my head all day. If you’ve ever seen “Red Dwarf” it’ll be immediately familiar to you. I like it because it’s up tempo and sounds hopeful. I hope you’ll enjoy it. Check out this video, "red dwarf end theme" share.google/Aq9zOnBIhD5h...

This is an open question asked without judgement. What do you know to be absolutely true? No holds barred. Let it rip!

I was just made to watch “Eternity” and I’m convinced that it is a rip off of “Defending Your Life.” Tell me I’m wrong.

I like how the last time I got my vision checked, the doctor said I have presbyopia. That’s just Greek for “old eyes.” Thanks, doc!

I bought a couple gifts for my wife for Valentine’s Day and our anniversary a few days later. They probably will arrive a tiny bit late, but since I can’t keep gifts secret, I told her what I bought and she said, “You’re kicking my ass with gift giving! I don’t have shit for you!” I win February. 😀

Have you ever? Had a conversation? With a person? Who talks like every phrase is a question? Isn’t that annoying?

Tell me that Arthur C. Clark and Stanley Kubrick didn’t warn us about AI in the ‘60s. HAL killed four people. We need more Daves in this world. youtu.be/UwCFY6pmaYY?...

This thought just popped into my head. Bear with me. Opening weekend, about 600k people saw “Melania.” Let’s be generous and bump it up to 1m by now. Now, the Super Bowl last year had ~127m viewers, so about 100x as many people will see Bad Bunny in one day. Check my math if you like. 😛

Watching the Opening Ceremony at the Olympics makes me wonder if someone slipped me some LSD.

Grilled cheese and tomato soup: thumbs up or down?

I rarely gamble, but I’ll bet that Canada will win gold in Curling. 🥌 🇨🇦

Tell me which groundhog I’m supposed to believe. I see conflicting predictions from Pennsylvania and Georgia. Do I need to consult a local groundhog? Is it possible that a large rodent doesn’t know shit about meteorology? It’s a very confusing day today.

Ok, weather, the snow and ice was cute for a little bit, but enough is enough. Up north, they’re equipped for this bullshit. We are not. I hereby invite you to fuck all the way off right now. Leave some winds out of the south and some sunshine behind you. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Obviously, everyone here went to see the Malaria movie. How do we rate it? It is one thumb up the butt or one in the pink and the other in the stink? Maybe two in the butt? Feel free to use your own rating system.

I just saw that Catherine O’Hara died. That’s just awful. I really enjoyed her work. She was such a talent. I hope her loved ones are holding it together. RIP.

We just finished watching “One Battle After Another” and if you have a spare three hours, give it a watch. It’s pretty good.

When is enough enough? Murder, kidnapping, deportations to foreign countries. Is this how these people get their jollies? So, you, mister masked mouth breather can just murder or disappear anyone you want? No consequences? How very authoritarian of you, you fucking pile of steaming shit.

I am not looking forward to this weather. They’re comparing this to the winter of 2021. That year we had a pipe burst and it flooded the house and we lost electricity for weeks. I’m not looking forward to this.

La vie n’est rien que l’ennui. Fous-moi la paix.
