I just saw another video with some doofus yelling, "You're in America, speak English!" I speak enough German & enough Spanish to make myself understood in those languages. I am currently working on Mandarin. But in the places where they speak those languages, everyone was understanding & tolerant.

I wonder if eons ago the planet Venus had massive, thriving, industrial civilization powered by the equivalent of fossil fuels. But the unchecked enviornmental damage by that civilization, in the interest of capitalism, caused the planet to become the inhospitable hellscape it is today.

I have a theory. The Neanderthals disappeared, and the Cro-magnons filled their niche in prehistoric European life. What if the Cro-Magnons (modern humans) killed all the Neanderthals because they were "different?" And that white European penchant for killing and taking was passed down to today?

The sea was angry that day my friends.

I often wonder how much time thag I have left.

With Thanksgiving this week, I have to take time to remember all of the people in my life who were there at just the right time. My life was saved hundreds of times. Either with a job, a hug, cash, moral support, love, or a sympathetic ear. Thank you so much to all of you.

This morning around 6:00AM the birds were chirping, tweeting and singing. And there was one sound that was kind of like the Day of the Triffids. Very peaceful and relaxing. Almost fell back asleep when somebody's rooster clocked in for his shift.

I'm at that awkward age: between 50 and dead. No longer in any desirable demographic.

I went through and eliminated all the porn-bot followers, and now I have no engagement at all.

Wow! Those face eating leopards seem to be pretty weoo-fed these days.

It's no secret that Melania hates decorating the East Wing for Christmas. Is this demolition just an excuse for her to not be bothered with it? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Lots of thoughts and prayers to all the casualties, orphans, and people left homeless in war ravaged Portland as you dig yourselves out of the rubble and wreckage of what remains of your once beautiful city. You will never be forgotten.

After Black Panther made his first appearance in his own comic in October 1976, Jack Kirby was told by his editors that he needed to have more white characters. Jack Kirby agreed, and in the next issue he had Black Panther beat up the KKK. - funfactswithjim

Is it ironic that because of the lack of, allegedly, undocumented workers in the hospitality, construction, and agriculture sectors, and Americans unwilling to do that work for those wages will cause the Federal Minimum Wage to be increased? I added the gif of puppies to get your attention.

Frozen green peas taste better than canned green peas. Canned green beans taste better than frozen green beans. Canned and frozen corn taste about the same. Asparagus and Brussels sprouts can just save time and becone mulch as soon asap. Maybe use that mulch to grow peas, green beans, & corn.

This honest to God happened. I was at the supermarket. The cashier had her name, Mickey, on her tag. I asked, "How y'doin Mickey?" She deadpanned to me."I'm so fine I blow your mind."

Today is August 8th. It is the Taiwanese unofficial Fathers Day. The Chinese word for eight is "ba". August 8th would be "baba" (八八) the word for papa is "baba" (爸爸). So unofficially it's fathers day. Zany linguistics.

The CEO, who was at the Coldplay concert with his side piece/employee, better hope his wife's maiden name is not Mangione.

Donald Trump, Jr. has started a new 1-900 number where for $2.99 per minute he says that his father's name is not in the Epstein files. For $3.99 he will try to do it without sobbing. Apologies to the late, great Norm MacDonald

It's like bringing a strongly worded letter to a pew-pew fight.

Y'all have never played Jenga. When people are forced to spend more money on healthcare and food, they have less money to spend on other things. That will prompt layoff in the "other things" industries.

After scrolling through posts on social media about rude & entitled people I was reminded of an incident I witnessed at the Von's in Hermosa Beach in 2018. The store had 2 parking spaces with EV charging stations. The lot was full. I saw a lifted pickup truck pull into one of the spaces.

What's this on the agenda for the next cabinet meeting? "The floor is lava."

One definition of a Renaissance Man is a guy who has been dead for around 450 years.

If you need a little hope this morning

The absolute disgrace taking place today in front of cameras in the White House is yet another reminder that for all the talk of Joe Biden's failures, the people who failed America the most are our citizens. Empowering this guy (again) was a foreseeable disaster we'll be lucky to survive.
