Also, yay, Brazil and it turns out Serbia went much better than I worried, earlier. Now to defeat a couplefew more greedy fascists this season, I guess. :)

OK, I don't like to repost a lot but this could be big on Brazil's elections: At least on the upside there appear to be big protests.

In another thought from recent days, I was wondering what Trump's projection about 'autopens' has been since Biden won. Then, you see he has these ceremonies 'on day one' signing orders he don't even know what they are.

The fact we've had a week of Musk and Trump varying administration officials denying they are behind throttling Ukraine's defense is a case study. A case study in the conservative mind being all about blame, not actually results or fixing a damn thing, whether they're the ones breaking it or not.

Just to repeat this cause I think people may not notice when the consequences of this are shown in military failures and illegal orders and stupid ideas what a war or military even is...

I wonder if kitties know some way snakeys can cure migraines, cause my girl here bringing me baby snakeys and my migraines definitely coincide even more than you might think, on the odds. OK, little snakey, time to go back to what you was doing... :)

Apropos of nothing and everything in the corporate media and hey, I'm from Boston! Shoutout to @punkrockhistory.bsky.social from the Cambridge side, many moons ago. And like whatever right-wing wags think they're cool this week I guess. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVvF...

AI companies and investors be like, "The cost of shipping all the bacon to Jupiter may be high, but we promise it'll be worth it?" 'Err, Why?' "You Luddite, so the Chinese don't do it first or something!" 'Err, do what, why?'

Oh, if anyone's missing the 'Power To The People' livestream on the Dropkick Murphys' Youtube channel, well, ...stop missing that. Public Enemy's up now. I shoulda thought to say this sooner.

Something I say sometimes: "Evil is the recourse of the incompetent." That one's for Peter Thiel today.

This shit killed another good man last week. He was my friend.

Just from personal observation, I think "AI" made Youtube's music-you-might-like algorithms dumber than they used to be.

My peace plan for the Middle East and much of the east of Europe: "OK, everyone do counterbattery fire and then stop shooting missiles at civilians a minute." (You too, Russia but you're the invader so you don't get to shoot either right now.)

Kind of important to remember right now, as important as individual issues are: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkBr...

I think the enshittification process about formerly-handy ziplock packaging is approaching a tipping point regarding failure rates.

Note: Mayor Mamdani being a beloved mayor of NYC is the best refutation ever of whatever the terrorists expected to do when they attacked NYC and America in general on 9/11. It took a lot of right-wing propaganda after the fact to turn too many into some of the unrecognizeable crap we see today.

I think left wing Youtube media needs to cool it with the meaningless hyperbole in cilckbait and keep either burying the ostensible lede or never getting round to it. You are not informing me by wasting my time with analyzing our general gripes, people. Be substantive. Then comment. Dateline.

OK, I'm hearing enough stupidity coming out from the real estate guys just left the Kremlin, so let me get something straight: It may be true that you'll never lose *money* underestimating American consumers' intelligence, but it's a great fricking way to lose *wars.*

Also, Are You Not Entertained? You know what, I'm not entertained. I greet the dawn with upraised arms and wonder if anyone well-placed will buy the clue while I'm hiding from likely migraines and thanking all the Gods that are friends of us that my roof doesn't depend on the clock. I'm occupied.

Someone put me in a subscription pack and hey there everyone, so I feel like I should say something. So. Umm. Trump's apparently starting his triumphal arch of vulgarity and ignorance. I think he is trying to declare a triumph before he's finished losing. Sorry f'n SOB. (I'm Bostonian, btw.)

Datacenters do need guardrails, yes. I suggest delivering them from about 15,000 feet.

Yaknow, I keep kinda running all these transphobic idiots having a snit about 'trans women in the WNBA' where they aren't even... And it gets right back to the purging, gutting and looting of competence in our nation by these idiots. And losing wars and the USA. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm5z...

I find lately that the quality of my enemies is.... Kind of insulting, really. They just phoning in the tyrant thing at this point or what?

Time to amplify somefing. :)

There's a raving madman of incredibly-poor character in the Oval Office. Would someone mind looking to that?

One thing I mislike about modern warfare is, you can techify it, you can automate it, you can send robots and drones and videogameify it and hide or Twitter- promote it. Still the ancient problem that most of the senseless destruction and things burning down comes *after* the contest is decided.

Sesame Street on American pluralism and things that shoulda had more punk rock covers. :) All of the monsters are here. :) Joy counts. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyTi...

So, paper straw-trauma came up earlier, and I was like, 'They were always paper, these days they just don't wax em enough.' Made me think how sometimes eco-solutions get pushed that bit too far and lose utility. Like 'Did you really have to shave that last eight inches off the back of microcar?'

On the Dead McConnell thing, ...even if he's only mostly-dead, I think he's too dead to Senator anymore. Probably just dead.

Also, just for all the Pagan folks, I know it was starting to look like things would go smooth, relatively-speaking, but we're still here. Play it smart but forget nothing. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1x_...

Also the Trump administration is a case study in why Bostonians have been working tirelessly to condense "Dafuquiswrongwichu' into one syllable. Prototypes of Dafuq have been in beta test a while, but we'll puh through the barrier soon, we hope.

One of my little ambitions in life is to name some supernova remnant so future space travellers can have a map that says somewhere "Here There Be Space Monsters."

Also, people I know sometimes wonder if humans are worth saving. This is, however a planet full of street musicians covering Deep Purple in a traffic slowdown in Chile. Look on our works, Trumpism 250, and realize how uncool you have to be fail so expensively. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ree-...

And ...sunrise at Stonehenge this Solstice. A better time and a Mega Litha to all. 8:) www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2HZ...

Also the bright side of the Reflectey Algae Swamp debacle is... At least it apparently won't be too big a job to get Trump's tacky blue Harbor Freight bedliner off the stone. :)

Well, this is interesting. Were the atrocities and failures of Operation Epic Fubar *automated by Musk's 'AI' chatbot?* Looks like somewhat. Maybe they shouldn't have purged the 'woke' smart people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmNB...

0430 this morning. OK, time to stop philosophizing and prepare to hit the rack. *kittycat meows, Largebug crashes into screen and onto keyboard.* In a world with too many people wanting to just blow shit up and start over, but no clue how anything works, thanks Largebug, for bein yer crazy self.

They removed CD/DVD drives from PCs. -Made physical media harder to buy and use. -Removed expandable storage from phones. -Pushed us into streaming subscriptions. -Made always-online normal. -Made unlimited internet necessary. -Slowly raised the price of everything. Ownership quietly became renting.

🖖Repost cause f-yeah. You reach?

Anyway, everyone's pissed off in monotheist geopolitics world, but the Summer Solstice comes soon, and some of us remember. If we can stop blowing the shit out of each other a minute I guess. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2HZ...

(Also that last one's about being in the US like thirty years after that song trying to be a priestess about too many people not believing there's anything to fight *for* but wounded senses of masculinity and induced self-shaming and all the kinds of things that make 'incels' of younger people.)
