Random Thoughts

While listening to the radio every morning, the announcer says “It’s eight twenty one” as opposed to “it’s twenty minutes past the hour.” Must be with the advent of the digital clock they get specific. Speaking about time, They say half six – in England. That’s 5:30 innit?

Just an observation on my crotchety old man walks – the worst drivers here are women. Older ones, or soccer moms.

I’m with Nikki Haley about abortion. Get over it and move on. It’s a loser issue for anyone not a wingnut.. Brings out the fruits and berries. One the other hand, what she said about Internet privacy this week is a deal breaker, if there ever was a deal. She is part of the problem.

Here’ that sound Nimrod -a, that’s the sound of inevitability. That’s the sound of your presidential ambitions swirling around the head. Only way now is being the least worst candidate. What an idea. Let’s let everyone’s contact info out there so every wingnut can start a mob in front of anyone else’s house.

Jezebel gets the bin.  https://voxday.net/2023/11/10/aborted-by-the-market/

Money Line from the boss:

“Unfortunately, our business model and the audiences we serve across our network did not align with Jezebel’s,” Jim Spanfeller, the chief executive of G/O Media, wrote in the memo, which was sent to staff on Thursday morning.

Meaning, ain’t making no money an never did. It’s all about the benjamins. Always, eventually.

Another money quote:

Remember this inability to find anyone to fund a well-known and supposedly influential operation when people are talking about success in Clown World. None of it is real, none of it is popular, and none of it is genuinely profitable. It’s all been propped up by free money. The business world covered by the media is a Potemkin one that is little more than a brightly-painted façade that conceals the fact that there is nothing substantial behind it.

This is why I don’t like cloud apps (SaaS) or Cloud in general. Another reason to only use the cloud for backups. I’m fussy about data in an enterprise. I prefer to keep in in house.

Poached from Kenny:

I seen it. BTW, if you’re hitting the “Leave The Range” section of someone else’s target, before you leave the range, go to the store an sell them your gun. You shouldn’t own one. I’ve had this happen to me more than once by a doofus missing his target at 30 feet.

Some Venezuelan malcontent in Chicago is beefing that this place sucks and he wants us to pay for his ticket back. It’s been making the rounds this week. This is called ‘self deportation’. It’s not hard to make it happen. Just crush anyone who hires illegals, and turn off the honey spigot.

Sometime back I bought a pair of wire rimmed glasses. I thought they looked good and fit my face. Dude at the optometrist said “yeah, these old guy retro frames are coming back”.

Apparently so, Behold:

Sorry. They are dorky looking. Bari Weiss’ image is from a speech at the Federalist, which was OK. She had to slip in about her ‘wife” and that she’s a lesbian, as they all do. eew. BTW – I hate the word ‘ally’. She used it, as if she’s not one of us, which was opposite to the point she was making.

Some more fun memes I harvested:

I love that one.

I hope that happens to me.

You really have to fess up to them. A lot of what I had wrong with me was from alcohol. If that isn’t the first step to dry out, it should be in the top 5.

I’m digging my way through ‘The Fourth Turning is Here’. I have to say, I’m a little dubious about some clear falsehoods and left bias at times. For instance, he says the J6 event was an armed insurrection, which is patently false. Only ones armed there were the fuzz.

Have a great weekend. I’m off on a road trip down south in the monster truck. I need to remove the third seat and make it more dog friendly, as if they didn’t like it enough yesterday going to the park.
