Let's not forget the Epstein files.

A Target in Long Beach is completely out of food bags used to bag up fruit, etc.

But we must go into war and spend $1b a day of our money ...

It doesn't feel jolly this year at all.
More like holy moly.

When I see a Tesla on the road, the first thing I think is what a freaking Nazi the driver is.

This is the world we live in now, where people are not ashamed to be one or are so ignorant that they unconsciously support one.

Finished Martin Eden last night - an exact mirror reflection of what's going on in society now.

Lots of thoughts about socialism and evolution.

Still optimistic that we can change the course of events in the world one day because currently things are not looking good.

Trump is the voice of the average American voter, and this is scary.

Jack London's "Martin Eden":

I'm glad Bluesky makes sure I do remember my password.

Why does our work now involve reading AI emails and AI written content?

AI makes writing so complicated - it takes me unnecessarily too much brain power to understand the "orchestrated enabler-driven" phrasing powered by "ROI assessments".

I'm starting to think that all those sports classes parents obsessively take their kids to from diapers on is sort of religious indoctrination to make kids hooked on sports which is a huge money business in the US.

If it was done for health reasons, people would have been fit here.

"...detained at their regularly scheduled check-ins with ICE, to meet the administration's one-million-person annual deportation target."

Why is pizza bad for you???
It's just heated bread with cheese and tomato sauce.
But if you eat a piece of bread with a slice of cheese, it's totally healthy.

CLIMATE CHANGE is still a huge thing and we need companies to create lots of Green and Sustainable solutions

I remember when I could reliably follow a weather forecast a few days ahead and plan things.

Now it seems to change drastically every few hours. Will it be hot or rain you? No one knows till it actually does.

I'm scared of what's going on right now in the US and the world. I've been scared since the elections. For a good reason.
Early September gave a tiny hope that bad, short-sighted people are vulnerable too. We need more of it.

Actors are not the type of people we adore for their brains.

"yay" to more years of a brainwashed society, marred by all sorts of propaganda and misinformation

It's getting harder and harder to understand industry articles and people's emails because a vast majority uses AI to compose them.

There's so little essence and so many overcomplicated words. I now have to re-read them to understand what they are talking about.

Argh

My brain learned to ignore the multiple star sign on websites because it now associates it with AI and nothing useful.

Oh God, this neo green is burning my eyes

AI is becoming like religion - making people brain-washed.

People stop using their brains and stop questioning, and instead trust their Super God, AI.

I miss when commercials used to be added between completed scenes in a movie and not randomly chosen by some tool.

If there're no sidewalks because people are assholes, the road where cars drive becomes a big sidewalk for walking, right?

Inspired by DCA's Minnie's Fly Girls show from 2012?

I miss when we used to get new shows in Disneyland and not get them cut and cancelled on every corner.

I wonder if Internet searches are getting worse and worse to push us to use only AI (and bring the desired payoff to those terrible CEOs.)

If you park your batmobile on top of another batmobile that doesn't work anymore, you might be a redneck Batman.

I'm just tired. Been tired for months now. Living through a daily nightmare. Things have to get better one day, right? Am I right?

Happy 4th.

A statement from Kamala D. Harris: Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump Administration’s cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division. This Administration’s actions are not about public safety —they’re about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process. Protest is a powerful tool — essential in the fight for justice. And as the LAPD, Mayor, and Governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful. I continue to support the millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms.

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

How can you sleep well these days?!
Been almost 6 months since I last had a good night sleep.

I refuse to believe it may be years till we can rest. I refuse...

Airlines used to give out small blankets in case it gets cold. Remember this?

At some point, airlines stopped giving out headphones for free. But now resumed. Probably because people now put everyone and everything on their speaker.
