Something weird is going on with gasoline prices here on the west side of Tulsa. A month ago it shot up to $4.29. Recently it's been going down a penny or two per day. Yesterday it was $3.69. I hate dependence on such a volitally priced energy source that contributes to a lying oligarchy.

Just started rewatching Farscape. One of the best Muppet adult series.

These days, you ever wonder which way is up?

We could have more than 51 countries in the Confederacy. If Guam or Puerto Rico or others want to join.

My idea for 51 countries would need a central overseer. Here's the selling point - Confederation of America. Open trade and travel between members. Outside borders locally controlled. Each country would make a small donation to the Confederacy.

I have a good reason to give up on the Federal government. Trump has burned through all the reputation of the past. Even if we elect a saint as our next President, how could any other country believe it couldn't happen again in four years?

I just had a wild hair idea for post Trump. Burn it all down. 51 countries, previously states. Setup an EU style over sight system. Eliminate congress and SCOTUS. No more electoral college. Only produce money at central level. Elevate state guard, get drone tech from Ukraine. Am I crazy?

We need a Democratic candidate for President that would reset the federal government back to the day before Trump took office.

Could AI from these data centers prevented Trump? Could the same prevented Brexit? What value can they return?

105 years ago there was a race massacre in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Yes, massacre not riot. Up to people dropping lit dynamite from private planes. So many businesses and homes burned. Just last year they finished unearthing the mass graves.

I bet the Flaming Lips would play Trump's gig. If they would be given an open mic... If you know, you know.

I just have a simple wish for June 16th. For the audience section for Trump's celebration to be completely empty. And no one watching the stream.

If you are going to dream, do it big.

Star City on Apple TV smells of ultimate Trump. Does anyone agree?

Just a thought. If there is a candidate local to you that advertises complete endorsement of Trump, then that candidate is stupider than Trump. Trump would not endorse a smarter candidate because they could see through the lies.

Terry Pratchett said something great in one of his many books: If you want to find heroes, look in graveyards.

These are the drive modes of a 2026 Camry Hybrid You can select electric only or let it flip between any of these modes randomly as it wants. And you cannot charge the small battery pack yourself.

I know why Trump is wanting retribution on Eugene Carol. Her lawsuit against Trump is the reason he couldn't be at his son's wedding in the Bahamas.

The Eugene Carol story is just noise. Trump's DOJ can't litigate itself out of a paper bag. They even failed to convict a ham sandwich. So, let's talk about Trump's national effort to keep coal fired plants running, at cost to consumers, and Europe is experiencing record heat?

So, in Texas, extracted from the two GOP senator candidates, on accused the other of believing in SIX genders. The real term is cisgender, maturing as the same sex you were born with. Listen carefully for these bits of humor, folks.

Self-service is you getting the "privilege" of doing something yourself that you are paying a company to get done.

Our American President belongs in a dementia ward. I'm writing this from mid-flight between Nashville and Tulsa.

I wonder how this guy got past TSA without ID?

I'm so old I remember upgrading an Internet router by swapping ROM chips on a Cisco IGS.

We will be flying home late today. Checking in that weird rental car after a 1.5 hour trip westward first.

I bring my laptop along when I stay on a hotel room. And the Wi-Fi always sucks. I bought a $15 Ethernet port, wired the laptop to an unlabeled RJ45 port, and I've been streaming great.

What is it going to take to get that felonious pedo with dementia out of the White House?

Here is an idea: A few thousand like minded people in DC White T-shirts with ANTIFA written with Sharpie Calmly walk into White House Escort out Trump to a dementia home. All before Trump drops a fusion bomb on Iran.

So I found out today the TVA fossil plant committee has caved to Trump and is keeping the ancient, huge coal fired plant running (all nine generators) in Kingston, TN. And they added a gas powered plant that was supposed to replace the coal fired part.

Jan 6th is becoming the American Holocaust.

Yesterday I tried being social, but MAGA anti-religion raised it's ugly head, and I'm going to continue avoidance. It is his house.

I can tell you a secret that our President doesn't know. Atomic bombs don't understand political boundaries. And wind blows. And, by the way, above ground test sites, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki never glowed afterwards. Trump is an idiot.

If you are in the eastern Tennessee area, and you are thinking of the Dragons Tail, try this instead. TN 116 between Rocky Top and Petros. You won't see many police. You will not have cell service for the middle half. Hunreds of curves. Switchbacks marked as 10 MPH.

I predict the end of the GOP mid-November. We can work and get the voters out. And get people to realize how bad the GOP is treating them.

The 2026 Camry Hybrid I'm renting is impressive. I took it from Petros, TN to Rocky Top, TN on TN116. Think of what it would look like if cub scouts had practiced tying knots with a road. Switchbacks posted as 10MPH. It was fun!

MAGA science example.

The way the Pedo in chief is wanting to hand out the $1.776B to the Jan 6 pedo insurrection club, he might as well just dropped trou and took a dump on the constitution.

Woke is a GOP made up term. Just a few years ago it didn't exist in current form. It's current usage is like a racial slur. It is like someone of lower IQ condemning someone of higher IQ.

There must be some big shit that Microsoft is going to do to my laptop. I just asked for app updates and got about 25 of them.

Got a rental car for the next week. Booked a small sedan, got a 2026 Toyota Camry Hybrid. Great gas mileage 42mpg on highway at 70mph. But all the hybrid stuff is fully automated. Under 20mph, it is pure electric and it hums like an EV. This is mandated for pedestrian alert because they are so quiet

So, I'm going to trade Oklahoma MAGA primary commercials for Tennessee primary commercials for a week.

Saw an individual here on the west side of Tulsa holding a sign that said FUCK TRUMP AND ICE. I'm starting to get my hopes up for a blue wave here.

It has been many years since new have flown commercial. Tomorrow we are going from Tulsa to Nashville on Southwest, a direct flight. I hope it will be dull and boring.

Watched an interesting movie yesterday. Three was the title. Three women trying to find what to do after a nearby nuclear explosion.

The worst insult in the Oklahoma GOP primary commercials is stepping on a MAGA hat.

The MAGA commercials in Oklahoma are getting so ugly for the June 16 primary. I hope it turns everyone's stomach enough that they won't vote for that party in November.

So, just on a lark, I opened Microsoft Maps on my PC. I had not done that in a long time. It proceeded to tell me that it needed an update, which was expected. After the update, it told me it was no longer supported and deleted itself. Oh well.

So, when we get our shiny new Democrat President, may I suggest Department of the Military? Leave it neutral for war or defense.

Hints: Whatever Trump says is a lie and reverse of the truth. Whatever Xi says is probably the truth.

Please start calling BS when someone warns of the dangers of Chinese cars being security hazards. Your Android or Apple phone is probably already doing that function, with a lot more compute power.
